NARRATIVE FAIL: Alleged racist Tea Party blogger donated thousands to Dems.
The Supine Media doesn’t get it. Supine means you act docile and don’t say anything, just like a tool.
The minute you try to get crafty – like Think Propaganda has done before with Tea Partiers – you’ll look like a fool and a tool. In today’s media environment, you can’t make a big play like this without someone checking your work.
Ask Dan Rather. He knows…

Glenn Beck’s rally in DC makes an impression. Now the Left and the supine media must be asking themselves: “How do you erase it”?
Not that revising history is going to help matters on Election Day. But a little denial never hurt anyone…

WaPo columnist celebrates “Obama’s Winning Streak”.
For real!
Weird how this winning streak hasn’t helped the president’s popularity…
I’m not surprised by this practice at all…
KFC’s new, healthier self-image leading to loss of business?
Related: What? No Skinwich??? Seriously, can you honestly expect KFC’s business to ever pick up without such a delicacy?
I snowboarded once, back in ’96. I did have two close calls; and I was very lucky, especially considering I was never able to figure out how to veer board-right.
…happens to be Moe Lane’s Movie of the Week.
But he’s never seen it? That takes me by surprise…
CBS News: “New York Gov. David Paterson plans to meet with developers of the controversial ground zero mosque as early as this week to offer them state land – at another location – for their cultural and religious center.”
In related news, Democrats everywhere are praying the developers will accept the offer…
UPDATE: Not all Democrats, it seems: Pelosi calls for investigation of WTC opposition. On what grounds? Exercising their freedom of expression and right to petition? Why is this mosque afflicting so many Democrats with stupid?
Funny how anything related to the tragedy of 9/11 turns Dems into babbling idiots. Why? Is it really that hard to let go of the multi-culti jackassery even for a few days?

ANOTHER ONE: The patient understands the diagnosis: Pelosi walks back remarks (via Insty).
Rule 5 Sunday at Dr. Fiancee’s blog.
Perhaps not what the guys at TOM would expect, but I know they have allowed for female-POV Rule 5 posts in the past.
…so why not give trees priority over our money? U.S. cancels $21 million dollars of Brazilian debt in exchange for forest protection. Not American forest protection, but Brazilian forest protection.
And that’s only a fraction of what the Obama Administration seeks to forgive through their debt-for-nature program, which I’d never heard of before.
I don’t think it’s the first time. And I hope it’s not the last time.
Looks like they had a busy, fun time at El Cholo in Santa Monica yesterday, a restaurant I’ve never been to since I tend to avoid Mexican cooking that doesn’t come from my mother.
I was in fact supposed to join the blogger gathering there, but flaked at the last minute. Too much wedding planning to resolve, which I couldn’t in any fairness leave to Dr. Fiancee to attend to on her own.
UPDATE: Just talked to R.S. McCain on the phone. He was on set and about to go before Ladd Ehlinger’s cameras! A veritable Hollywood debut. Looking forward to the final product.
MORE: Keep up with the top link above, as R.S. McCain is updating it constantly. Word is a well-known fedora (not Humphrey Bogart’s but close) joined R.S. on set. Can the venerable Shoe Leather be far behind? Stay tuned…

The weird irony of the Obama Presidency is that the rockstar and savior of the American Left has presided over a veritable Dem backlash.
Bill Clinton and Hillary must be laughing their heads off. That is when they’re not lamenting what’s happened to the Democratic brand.

Harry Reid stereotypes Hispanics with a quote worthy of Ed Driscoll’s world-famous compendium of Reid Quotes.

I just realized I missed my blog’s birthday by a whole 7 days. Two years and seven days ago, The Rhetorican saw its first post be published to the interwebs via WordPress.com.
Blogging has been fun, especially when integrated with Twitter. So here’s to many more years!
Superman Saves Home From Foreclosure: A rare Superman comic book, to be precise.
Obama was not available for comment, but don’t be surprised if he’s already planning to regulate the comic book collector’s market. You know, to prevent predatory comic book speculators from entering the home loan market…or something.
More on the Obama Superman poster – which becomes more and more ironic as Obama’s popularity diminishes – here. Also ironic: the artist behind it is known as “Mr. Brainwash”.
I don’t mean to bring Oliver Willis into this, but isn’t it safe to say that Obama is “Like Kryptonite to Prosperity”?
County Officials Crack Down On Little Girl’s Lemonade Stand.
Better to have kids understand at a young age that entrepreneurship is despised, I suppose…

“Not whether…but how.”
Think Progress asks “Why did no one object to the Pentagon mosque?”
No one objected because it doesn’t exist.
At The Rhetorican, anyway. Sorry, but in between work and wedding planning, I can barely spare a moment to post anything.
I am actually posting this by e-mail from my cellphone while in a production van en route to Orange County, for work. But I should be able to blog some over the weekend.
The New Yorker “on the trail of the honorable detective”.
“Good thing California doesn’t have real problems. Forget crime or budget deficits or health care. What the state really needs is a new law targeting people who sneak into Hollywood awards shows. That’s exactly what California lawmakers will begin debating when they return from summer vacation today.”

WSJ: “The largest U.S. websites are installing new and intrusive consumer-tracking technologies on the computers of people visiting their sites—in some cases, more than 100 tracking tools at a time—a Wall Street Journal investigation has found.”
Tom Cruise? He does seem to put his heart into it. And you can’t ask much more from an actor.
