*Shocker: The organization pushing for show trials of former Bush officials is funded by George Soros. What did all those lefties call those TEA parties two weeks ago? Oh yes, Astroturf.

“The speaker and her partisans are the current beneficiaries of this politics of amnesia. It won’t be so forever. And when the time comes to pay the price for their forgetfulness, it will not be small.”
*Chicago Way: In the restructuring of GM, the UAW will get 39% of equity shares, the Feds will get 50%, and those pesky bondholders will get a whopping 10%. (H/T Hot Air).

*Your obligatory swine flu post. Seriously people, there have only been 20 deaths in a city (Mexico City) with a population of 20 million. That’s (20/20,000,000) x 100 = 0001%. More people died slipping in the tub yesterday, for Gods sake. We’ve been here before, so just wash your hands and chill out. (Update): It’s the evil Republicans fault.

*Red Eye at 500, by Matt Patterson.
“Red Eye” is like a great punk song – individually the instruments are out of tune and none of the musicians have the slightest clue what they’re doing. But somehow it all comes together in a life-affirming vortex of awesomeness that makes you bang your head and pump your fist and thank God that the Ramones were too stupid and too smart to do anything else.”
I want to go on record and say that “life-affirming vortex of awesomeness” is the best thing I’ve read in weeks, and I’m reading Proust right now, which says a lot.
UPDATE: Mr. Gutfield saw the article and says “Discovering it was a pleasant surprise this morning. I don’t know Mr. Patterson, but clearly he is an undiscovered genius.” Way to go bro, I see a guest appearance in your future.

“Mr. Obama is more popular than his policies, and sooner or later the twain shall meet. For now, we are living in another era of unchecked liberal government. The reckoning will come when Americans discover how much it costs.”
*Obama’s Liberal Arrogance Will Be His Undoing, by Jonah Goldberg.
“I’m not arguing that conservatives are poised to make some miraculous comeback. They’re not. But American politics didn’t come to an end with Obama’s election, and nothing in politics breeds corrective antibodies more quickly than overreaching arrogance. And by that measure, Obama’s first 100 days have been a huge down payment on the inevitable correction to come.”
If you haven’t read his book “Liberal Fascism,” you need to get to work. You can buy it here.
