New Jersey citizens are undertaking the colossal task of recalling Social Democrat Senator Robert Menendez. Recall requires collecting about 1.3M signatures.

Menendez is fighting back in typical liberal fashion: he is litigating to keep his job:

While New Jersey’s constitution explicitly allows the recall of federal officials, Menendez, is arguing that such a move violates that U.S. Constitution, which doesn’t address recalls.

“Mainstream New Jerseyans believe deeply in the U.S. Constitution that for more than 200 years has made ours the greatest form of government in world history,” a spokesman for Menendez said in a statement. “This attack on the Constitution undermines our uniquely American system of democracy and will be contested.”

This is the thinnest of all possible tactics which is bound to fail in the courts and will do nothing except fan the flames of the recall movement. This is the act of a desperate man.

Buy-bye Menendez.

The twice-bankrupt Air America is selling off all assets, including the email mailing list. Many more details are available over at Geek o System, including this bit from Air America’s privacy policy:

[1]e. The Air America site has a newsletter distributed via e-mail. If you choose to subscribe to this feature, you must provide a valid e-mail address. Your e-mail address will be used only by Air America for the distribution of the newsletter and any promotions or marketing that we feel may be of interest to you and will not be divulged to any third party, except as required by court order. All Air America newsletters include an unsubscribe link in at the very bottom. Clicking this link will unsubscribe you immediately.

…

4. What information does Air America share with third parties?

a. Unless described herein, Air America will not impart to third parties individual users’ e-mail addresses or other individual personal information unless required to do so by law.

Perhaps bankruptcy procedures mandate selling off private information in order to pay the creditors; the auction house has the emails listed under “intellectual property.” Most private individuals would disagree, but information like this is bought and sold all the time.

If nothing else, this should serve as a cautionary tale to everyone who gives out their information to any organization. Personally, I take great pleasure in giving out misinformation (e.g., something close to, but not quite, my real name with completely incorrect demographic information). I recently received a donation appeal (complete with an already-completed membership card) to the NAACP, as well as a complementary subscription to a magazine marketed to young African-American women. Yep, filled out one little online survey and suddenly I’m a young black woman on marketing lists across the nation.

Now that’s funny, I don’t care who y’are.

Even the MSM is joining in the Obamacare Regret train. From CBS News:

One such surprise is found on page 158 of the legislation, which appears to create a carve out for senior staff members in the leadership offices and on congressional committees, essentially exempting those senior Democrat staffers who wrote the bill from being forced to purchase health care plans in the same way as other Americans. …

This problem was acknowledged earlier in the process – last year, Senator Grassley tried to repair it, but he was rebuffed.

As Speaker Pelosi said a few weeks ago, it’s only after this legislation is passed that we’ll truly find out what’s in it

One law for them that make ‘em, another for the rest of us. Is that what “Change” looks like?

The blogosphere is all a-twitter about Dan Rather saying that Obama couldn’t sell watermelons if you gave him state troopers to flag down the traffic. And yes, at first glance, his statements do appear to be “racist rhetoric”:

DAN RATHER: Part of the undertow in the coming election is going to be President Obama’s leadership. And the Republicans will make a case and a lot of independents will buy this argument. “Listen he just hasn’t been, look at the health care bill. It was his number one priority. It took him forever to get it through and he had to compromise it to death.” And a version of, “Listen he’s a nice person, he’s very articulate” this is what’s been used against him, “but he couldn’t sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic.“

I’m certainly no lover of extreme-left talking heads, but I don’t believe Rather was being racist. I think he was stereotyping conservatives as racists. That is, he wasn’t saying that Obama couldn’t sell watermelons, he was saying that Republicans will say that Obama couldn’t sell watermelons.

So while Rather wasn’t being racist, he was being a typical left-wing moonbat. And yes, I see the irony of me saying that.

A memo signed by Charlie Kireker, Chair of the “progressive” talk radio network Air America Media, was distributed this afternoon. Excerpt:

It is with the greatest regret, on behalf of our Board, that we must announce that Air America Media is ceasing its live programming operations as of this afternoon, and that the Company will file soon under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code to carry out an orderly winding-down of the business.

The full memo can be found on the Air America website.

Let us have a moment of silence to mourn the passing of granola-chomping tree hugging terrorist lover yammering on the airwaves.

OK, that’s long enough. Now let’s get on to more important things.

Even the incredibly left-wing, terrorist-loving, granola-chomping propagandist over at FreshJive is losing faith, as evidenced by the release of this tee-shirt:

It is, appropriately enough, being released on Black Friday. Oooh, the Left is plunging in black despair and depression! Who could have seen that coming?

From Cavalier’s Guardian WatchBlog:

Real life is far more complicated than Liberals seem to comprehend. That’s why their solutions to the problems we face are usually both simplistic and unrealistic. But they work on paper, so we’re the stupid ones.

Exactly.

It’s been over a week since this poster was first spotted in Los Angeles:

The resulting furor has been quite entertaining. I just don’t understand why it was perfectly fine to equate Bush with Hitler for eight years, but comparing B. Hussein Obama to a comic book character is somehow offensive.

I couldn’t put it any better than Doc Weasel (who also happens to have an awesome roundup on the subject):

Some assholes don’t get it. Obama is the Joker. He wants to tear it all down. He wants to destroy America. He hates America, as it is currently comprised. He detests white people and their culture and their supposed hegemony over the country. He wants a repressive, controlling central authority to take over every facet of the economy and your life. He detests liberty, he wants to repeal the 2nd Amendment and he wants to socialize, if not outright communize, the country. He is a liar, a racist, a sociopath. He despises religion and those who are religious. He despises anyone who is not in his “class”; i.e., working people like Joe the Plumber. He has the same worldview as William Ayres: tear it all down, but he’s doing so from the inside. Unless we stop him. If you can’t understand and see that, you are blind and a fool.

Newsbusters linked to a version of the poster that has shown up in Atlanta, but I couldn’t locate the image leading me to believe that it had been removed from the “news” site. I did, however, find the following image at that site and wanted to save it before it disappeared forever:

This, of course, is in reference to (as Michelle Malkin puts it) the Internet Snitch Brigade.
