Hunter Baker, writing at "First Things"<\/a>, responds to Jim Wallis’ question "What Would Jesus Cut", referring to government spending. (Which begs the question, would Jesus borrow us into prosperity?)<\/p>\n

Obama’s HHS Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, admits to double counting some savings<\/a> that ObamaCare\u2122 would bring. Not really news, except for those who haven’t been paying attention.<\/p>\n

Media Matters, an allegedly non-partisan press watchdog group, has a Transparency project that lists major donors to conservative and libertarian organizations. "The Agitator" notes<\/a> that, while a number of those conservative organizations themselves <\/em>already provide this transparency, Media Matters itself does not. <\/p>\n

Who’s going to clean up this mess<\/a> in Wisconsin?<\/p>\n

It could cost as much as $7.5 million to repair damage protesters have done to the Capitol Building marble say officials in Madison. Fixing posters to the marble with tape and glue appears to have done the bulk of the damage.<\/p>\n

During testimony Thursday, a representative from the Attorney General\u2019s office said a contractor estimated it would cost $500,000 to remove all of the posters and garbage. He says it would cost $6 million to restore the marble inside of the Capitol building and another $1 million to touch up the marble outside of the building.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Guess who came to the rescue? The Tea Party. Liberals trashed it, conservatives will care for it.<\/p>\n

Mark Steyn notes a very odd way to say, "Thank you."<\/a>. A young Kosovar is who killed 2 US servicemen in a Frankfurt airport. I mean, we didn’t even wait for UN resolutions before helping Kosovo get its independence. That’s gratitude?<\/p>\n

Remember how upset the Left was about indefinite detentions and military tribunals<\/a> at Guantanamo, and how much the press covered it? Yeah, well, all that is back on again and now they’re rather quiet about it. Wonder what changed.<\/p>\n

Michael Moore and Rachel Maddow say, no, we’re not broke as a nation. Reality begs to differ.<\/a><\/p>\n

Bummer. A set-back for reprogrammed adult stem cells.<\/a> Undisturbed adult stem cells continue to be extremely useful, but trying to reprogram them into what are essentially embryonic stem cells is having problems.<\/p>\n

Look, if you’re going to be biased in what you say, I have no problem with that. Just be honest about it. NPR isn’t. James O’Keefe strikes again<\/a> at the heart of liberal bias at the network. NPR tries some damage control, but Patterico calls their ombudsman<\/a> on it. Predictably, liberals now deplore gotcha’ journalism<\/a>. (Though calling up a governor and misrepresenting who you are is just fine. Wonder what changed.) And apparently O’Keefe isn’t done with the revelations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The UK’s CEO of the national power grid is predicting that blackouts will be just a part of the new normal<\/a> once wind turbines become more prominent and supplant other means of electricity generation. How long before paying to not<\/em> get blacked out becomes popular, and the politization of energy begins?<\/p>\n

Civility Watch: Credible death threats<\/a> against the Palins.<\/p>\n

And finally, the Society of Centurions<\/a> is named after the Centurion who was at the cross when Jesus died, and ultimately admitted, "Surely he was the Son of God"<\/a>. It is an organization for former abortion providers. Changing one’s view on abortion is one thing. Considering it wrong after you’ve provided them is another thing entirely. Priests for Life admonishes, "Let\u2019s pray for the Centurions, and may their numbers increase!" Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
