Erick Erickson: No White House Apology for Professorgate
Leaving a fireworks display and party on June 27 of this year near Akron, Ohio, Martin Marshall and his family were attacked by dozens of black teenage boys chanting, “[I]t’s a black world,” and,”This is our world.”
Akron police quickly said it was no hate crime.
Last week in Austin, Texas, someone threw a brick through the window of a 4 year old’s bedroom with a note reading, “Keep Eastside Black. Keep Eastside Strong.” The victimized family is white. Thereto, police quickly ruled out a hate crime. more…..

Washington Examiner: Repeating the mistakes of Japan’s ‘Lost Decade’
Here’s something that ought to scare the daylights out of everybody: After Japan’s stock and real estate markets collapsed in 1991, government officials made a series of disastrous policy decisions that prevented the world’s second largest economy from recovering for more than a decade. Starting with the closing months of the Bush administration and continuing now with President Obama, America is making the exact same mistakes today. more…..

Michelle Malkin: Culture of Corruption: Czars of the Obama Underworld
The Obama administration has created a two-tiered government—fronted by Cabinet secretaries able to withstand public scrutiny (some of them, just barely) and then managed behind the scenes by shadow secretaries with broad powers beyond congressional reach. Bureaucratic chaos serves as a useful smokescreen to obscure the true source of policy decision-making. Energy czar Carol Browner epitomized the secretive dealings of these offices when she advised auto industry executives this month “to put nothing in writing, ever” about their meetings with her.
While past administrations dating back to the Nixon era have designated such “super aides,” none has extended the concept as widely as Obama has. Currently, 35 out of 44 current “czar” slots are presidential appointments. They are among the highest-paid staffers at the White House. Most of Obama’s key czars have Cabinet counterparts already in place. more…..

Mark Steyn: A Prejudometer cranked up to eleven.
For everyone other than the president, what happened at Professor Gates’s house is not entirely clear. The Harvard prof returned home without his keys and, as Obama put it, “jimmied his way into the house.” Someone witnessing the “break-in” called the cops, and things, ah, escalated from there. Professor Gates is now saying that, if Sergeant Crowley publicly apologizes for his racism, the prof will graciously agree to “educate him about the history of racism in America.” Which is a helluva deal. I mean, Ivy League parents re-mortgage their homes to pay Gates for the privilege of lecturing their kids, and here he is offering to hector it away to some no-name lunkhead for free. more…..

GOE: Acorn Meets Their Waterloo in Commack! They are NOT Happy Campers!
ACORN and their new front group Act Now were pwned by Tea Party Patriots again on Long Island!
When they couldn’t win their arguments with facts, the ACORN employees tried to intimidate the Tea Party folks. No way that could work with dedicated Patriots! So ACORN cut and run when the going got tough, and repeated that sorry performance twice in one day. more…..

American Thinker: Obama’s A Racist
Yes, I said it: Obama is a racist. As the white, conservative mother of black/Mexican/white children, I know a racist when I hear one. So is his buddy, Henry Louis Gates. Don’t let these two Ivy League-educated, erudite, distinguished black men convince you that only whites can be racists. Believe me, these two men are the worst kind of racists: black and elitist. more…..
