Minutes before Sarah Palin made her anticipated speech in Iowa, comedian Eric Golub told a joke on the same stage that compared liberal political ideology to “special needs children.” After commending Palin on raising her son Trig while balancing other responsibilities, Golub made the analogy. “For that reason alone, the left should worship Sarah Palin and adopt her as one of their own: Because the leftist haters are an entire political ideology of special needs children.”

Simon Glik Broke No Law When He Used His Cell Phone to Record Police Officers’ Use of Force Against Another Man on Boston Common
BOSTON — The U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit ruled unanimously late Friday that Simon Glik had a right to videotape police in action on Boston Common.

As a defense, the police argued the law was not clear, but the Court decisively rejected their claim of immunity from being sued.

Thus far, the Freedom Of Information Act lawsuit that
PajamasMedia.com filed against the U.S. Department of Justice has resulted in
the disclosure of dozens of DOJ employee resumes and nine largely ignored

commentary declaring them unabashed left-wing radicals. Ostensibly, the point
of the exercise is to establish a case that the administration of President
Obama is engaging in the same kind of politicized hiring at DOJ that President
Bush was found to have done. Their work has been an utter failure.
Von Spakovsky et al have provided no evidence of politicized
hiring practices and have been content to make the lazy claim that, given “every
single one” of the latest DOJ hires is liberal, improper procedures must have
been used. Unfortunately, they’ve failed even at this. In order to make their
case that every…

On Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace accused NBC of bias when Today
cameras showed a demonstrator with a sign demanding Cheney be investigated
for torture.
This line of questioning appears to come directly from the
conservative Media
Research Center.
At the
end of the contentious interview, Lauer declared: “Mr. Cheney, thanks for
being with us this morning. I appreciate it.” However, as the camera
panned out of the studio, it zoomed in on
