Jed Eckert: Olbermann alienates even more people.

Is that possible?  Yes it is.  It’s not the politics.  It’s him.

Professor Jacobson on Leftie reaction to Adam Gadahn’s capture.

Gadahn’s capture will not boost confidence in Obama, folks.  Maybe his poll numbers will see a bounce momentarily, but nothing beyond that.

You know why?  Because Obama will screw up this achievement, true to form.  You just wait.  If Obama responded to an Al Qaeda near-strike with the Towel of Indifference, you can’t expect him to capitalize successfully on Gadahn’s capture, especially after the KSM trial fiasco.

If I’m wrong about this one, great.  It’ll only prove that the Left is not in control of this aspect of the national security debate.  And that’s a good thing.

But Obama is trapped.  He needs to please his base, but he also needs to wash off the stench of weakness on national security in which his administration has been wallowing for months now.  He can’t please both sides.  So he either pisses off one of them or approaches Gadahn in an ineffective, half-baked fashion…but – don’t worry, Lefties – it’ll all be Bush’s fault.  So take comfort.

UPDATE: Not Gadahn???

At THR.  Premieres March 14.

It’s from the makers of Band of Brothers, so I really want to see it; but I think I’ll wait for the DVD’s.  Not looking to see a higher DirecTV bill right now.  Although…I think Dr. Fiancee’s mom has HBO at the moment…

It’s nice to be able to blog again.  Work has just made it impossible of late.  I have 8 posts going so far; and it’s not even 1 PM.  Lots going on.  Thanks to those who sent e-mail tips.

Hopefully I can add more posts later.  For now, I have some household chores to attend to…

NRO’s Planet Gore: Did congressional Toyota inquisitor Edolphus Towns (D- NY) attempt to frame the automaker?

Toyota has been a successful competitor of what now is Government Motors for many years now; and it mostly operates in right-to-work states.  For many a Democrat, it has to have a big target painted on its back.

UPDATE: Related: Gawker: How ABC News’s Brian Ross staged his own Toyota death ride (via The Cable Game, where there’s more).

This Toyota thing is getting more outrageous by the day…and now it’s not just about the recall itself anymore!
