| If I´m following this correctly, according to one spokesperson for the Marine Corps Band, at Monday´s Inauguration Beyoncé lip-synced to the national anthem but the band accompanied her live. However, according to a second spokesperson, it was the band who were pretending to play to a tape while Beyoncé sang along live. So one or the other of them was faking it. Or maybe both were. Or neither. I´d ask Chuck Schumer, the master of ceremonies, who was standing right behind her, but he spent the entire performance staring at her butt. If it was her butt, that is.

While we will all suffer from this despotic cabal, none so much as those who voted for Obama with such high hopes.

A funny article. With Obama, you don´t know where reality begins or where it ends. It´s all part of the narrative - part fact, part fiction...a mass of confection.
The scary thing is when they combine a lot of fiction with a little bit of fact and then try to pass the whole thing off as fact. This is where the danger truly lies. It´s government by mass deception.

"Obama is peerless at making a song and dance about tunes nobody´s whistling..."
Obama is all about misdirection. He plays to the emotions of the lowest common denominator while illegally carrying out the wishes of his puppet master, ValJar. If we had a competent congress and an unbiased supreme court, this kenyan would have been sent packing in 2009.

Was that the weiner woman who was passing all the notes to hillary? She struggled with the blue shawl. I thought dhe was going to make a burkha out of it. If it was Huma she forgot to stop by the makeup room for a dusting of white powder -- she looked darker than other tv shots.

"No clothes!" says Steyn in so many words. Why, no one in this administration even wears real underwear! Yet, so many Americans exalt their magnificent adornments.
Steyn has surpassed even vintage Coulter as the rhetorical avenger. His mockery is brilliant - just what we need to pull an Alinsky-style coup - ´Ridicule is man´s most potent weapon´. If only we could translate his multi-syllabic structure to something that could be understood by the Lofos.
Great writing Mark!

Two depressing quotes from the article:
"A couple of days later, it fell to the 45th president-in-waiting to encapsulate the ethos of the age in one deft sound bite: What difference does it make?"..."Four Americans are dead, but not a single person involved in the attack and the murders has been held to account. Hey, what difference does it make?"
Enough to make you "give up and die," right?
But then the good news starts to trickle in.
1) A sportsman show in PA had to be cancelled when gun-owners, the NRA and exhibitors boycotted it in protest against restrictions imposed on any mention of the AR-15. 2) A court ruling declared Obama´s ´recess´ appointments to the NLRB and elsewhere to be "unconstitutional." 3) Bill Maher, believe it or not, states that "there are a lot of dirtbags in this country." [H/T to RCP] http://tinyurl.com/a5ubk3s 4) The 40th annual March for Life is taking place. And the good Dr. Krauthammer predicts that it will still be taking place 40 years from now. [Please, dear God, make it so.] 5) There´s at least one muskrat in southern Maryland who is a little less grumpy.

Mockery, ridicule, brutal humorous sarcasm ! That´s the next step for all of us bright citizens, and Mark Steyn can lead the way! Mark proves in his writings that whenever it all becomes absurd, ridicule is the best medicine and with mockery and ridicule, the whole problem becomes bloodless. Obama and Feinstein want gun fighting in the streets. They are violent prone, violent instigating idiots. Steyn, Lucianne, PJ O´Rourke (where are you PJ come out of the closet ! please) can laugh them out of their fake seriousness and all their media tuned lies. Diane Sawyer is equally responsible, all of the Diane Sawyers, that is, for her acting skills in the news every night, her mock seriousness, her cowardice to never speak out, never say anyting that would offend the overlobbyed Beltway millionaires. Maybe Diane needs a new 24/7 director. This communist stuff is getting really boring. Mark Steyn is a refreshing model for obeserving the frightening stupidity of these so-called leaders, and for commenting on their ridiculous ways with ridicule, sarcasm, mockery, little jokes, big jokes> Anything to show them as comedy versions of Hitler and Stalin (who took away all the guns). Is that enough rant?

And so a congressional hearing – one of the famous "checks and balances" of the American system – is reduced to just another piece of Beltway theater. "The form was still the same, but the animating health and vigor were fled," as Gibbon wrote in "The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire."
It is too hard to be optimistic when the parallels are this clear.

´so Obama will always be cooler than a bunch of squaresville yawneroos boring on about jobs and debt and entitlement reform.´
The above quote comprises the best summary of the 2012 election by the best pundit in the business.
The question is: If we had a ´cool´ messenger delivering the exact same message that was delivered by the ´square´ with which we were stuck as our GOP candidate, might we have won? If no, then we have truly lost the country.

Film and television stars hit Republicans on Wednesday for their opposition to abortion rights and free access to birth control. Stanley Tucci, Morena Baccarin, Mehcad Brooks and others appeared in a Web video where they slammed conservative positions on women´s health as retrograde. The international Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR) is behind the multi-stage campaign to push President Obama to make women´s health issues a centerpiece of his second term. The group is also raising support for its Bill of Reproductive Rights.

As the old saying goes, beware of Greeks bearing gifts; but as the new saying goes, beware even more of Republicans bearing bribes. In either case, one could get destroyed (or at least corrupted) from the inside by trusting the wrong people. Since 2006, with the beginnings of the breakaway of populist conservatives from the national Republican Party via the Tea Party movement, the GOP has been trying to figure out how to co-opt and capture it once again, just as George W. Bush did with many elements of the conservative movement in the early years of the 21st century.

Major news outlets in recent days have reported that U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is raising money from the private sector—including from health-care executives—for use by a private entity that is helping to implement ObamaCare. The entity, Enroll America, is run by a former White House aide. The Washington Post quoted an HHS spokesman last week saying, "We requested additional money [from Congress] . . . but we didn´t receive any additional funding for the exchanges. So we had to come up with Plan B." My immediate thought was: Isn´t "Plan B" what got

Every day brings new revelations about who knew what about the IRS targeting conservative groups during President Obama´s re-election campaign, but the overall impression is of a vast federal bureaucracy run amok. While the White House continues to peddle the story of a driverless train wreck, taxpayers are being treated to a demonstration of the dangers of an unwieldy and unaccountable administrative state. Look, Ma, no hands! In his press events, Mr. Obama has said that while he learned about the Cincinnati rogues on the news, he plans to "hold accountable those who have taken these outrageous actions."

Scandal Watch: New evidence makes it clear that the Internal Revenue Service campaign against conservatives wasn´t the result of two "rogue" agents, but was directed from higher up. The question is, how high up? The claim that a couple of workers in the bowels of an IRS office in Cincinnati managed to block tax-exempt applications from conservative groups for more than two years, while subjecting them to outrageous, intrusive and improper requests for information, started falling apart days ago. Last weekend, the Washington Post quoted a staffer saying that "everything comes from the top" at the IRS.

A Tea Party targeted by the IRS — and the FBI and OSHA and the ATF — thinks that´s unfair. We do too. Lois Lerner, chief of the IRS´ exempt organizations division when the Tea Party and other conservative groups were targeted for their opposition to President Obama, has invoked her Fifth Amendment right not to be questioned on her earlier testimony, her opening statement or any knowledge she may have of who ordered

National Security: The U.S. knows who and where five of the Benghazi terrorists are who murdered Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. The Obama administration´s ideology keeps them free. Remember when, in the summer of 2008, soon-to-be Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama charged that President Bush´s strategy was to "engineer the distraction of the war in Iraq at a time when we could have pinned down the people who actually committed 9/11"? He was making several serious charges: • Bush, since he was the president, could have lit a fire under investigators to catch the 9/11 terrorist enablers.

I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.
