From Johan Goldberg’s blog at NRO:
A murderer who believed that the U.S. is the great enemy of mankind shouldnt be anyones hero, never mind a logo for a line of baby clothes.
He’s talking about Che, of course. It’s in the context of the price people pay for their radical past - very little, it appears.

Don Surber, who is always a good read, added this phrase to the political lexicon in a recent post:
The American press is playing Monica to Obamas Bill.
That HAS to go into the lexicon!
Or would that be the other way around?
This is from the “Arab American Action Network” website.
Headquartered in the heart of Chicago’s large Palestinian community, AAAN views the United States as a nation wherein Arab citizens are routinely maltreated. To remedy this perceived societal injustice, the organization aims to challenge government policies that violate the civil, political and human rights of the Arab American and Arab immigrant community. Among these policies are detentions, deportations and other attacks on immigrants that result from Homeland Security [measures].
That last sentence sounds eerily like statements made by Barak (middle name deleted) Obama in one of his recent speeches.
So, how is the AAAN connected to Barry? He was on the board of directors of the Woods Fund, along with unrepentant terrorist William Ayres. The fund supported this group.

The situation in South America appears to be deteriorating rapidly toward confrontation between Columbia and Venezuela and Equador.
Colombia has said documents found in a cross-border raid suggest links between left-wing Farc rebels and Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa. Colombian troops had entered Ecuador in a raid that killed a Farc leader, Raul Reyes, and 16 other rebels.
Ecuador has expelled Colombia’s ambassador following the attack and is sending troops to the border.
Earlier Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said he was sending thousands of troops and tanks to its border.
We’d better remember who our friends are and back them up.
According to Gateway Pundit, we aren’t doing that very well yet.
Meanwhile… US Democrats continue to deny financial support to the pro-American Colombian government. This is an important story that you probably missed in the mainstream media.

(Jumpinjoe)"Devil Went Up to Ohio
The devil went up to Ohio, she was looking for an election to steal.
she was in a bind ‘cos she was way behind: she was willin’ to make a deal.
When she came across this young man stumping to an audience and playin’ it hot.
And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy let me tell you what:
"I bet you didn’t know it, but I’m a stumping Politician too.
"And if you’d care to take a dare, I’ll make a bet with you.
"Now you play a pretty good microphone, boy, but give the devil her due:
"I bet a microphone of gold against your soul, ‘cos I think I’m better than you."
The boy said: "My name’s Obama and it might be a sin,
"But I’ll take your bet, your gonna regret, ‘cos I’m the best that’s ever been."
Obama you turn your microphone on and play the crowd hard
‘Cos hells broke loose in Ohio and the devil deals it hard.
And if you win you get this shiny microphone made of gold.
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul.
The devil opened up her stump speech and she said: "I’ll start this show."
And fire flew from her fingertips as she pointed to the people in the rows.
And she pulled the microphone closer to her lips and it made an evil hiss.
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.
When the devil finished, Obama said: "Well you’re pretty good ol’ anointed one.
"But if you’ll sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done."
Change and hope, run boys run
The devil’s in the house of the risin’ sun.
Chicken in the bread pin, pickin’ up the most dough.
"Granny, does your husband bite?"
"No, child, no. Change and Hope"
The devil bowed her head because she knew that she’d been beat.
she laid that golden microphone on the ground at Obama’s feet.
Obama said: "Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again.
"I told you once, you son of a bitch, I’m the best that’s ever been."
