- ‘Like a Dog’: The Origins of Barack Obama’s Petulance.I would be miffed too if I were Obama.Obama in just twenty months has developed a reputation for being petulant, unusually sensitive to the normal run-of-the-mill criticism. His latest pushback was his strangest so far: “And they’re not always happy with me. They talk about me like a dog. That’s not in my prepared remarks, it’s just — but it’s true.”Given that Obama has previously called out talk radio critics by name — Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh — attacked everything from limb-lopping surgeons to vacationing at Las Vegas, and in condescending fashion tsk-tsked those who attend Glen Beck rallies, rural Pennsylvanians, and his own “typical white person”grandmother who raised him, his thin-skin touchiness seems inexplicable.Surely the most powerful man in the world knows that when you elevate talk radio critics to near-equal adversaries, then one cannot complain that they press their now high-profile serial attacks even further.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

- Demonstrations against pastor, church set on fire in Pakistan.The Muslim world reacts to the ‘Burn-the-Qur‘an’ with protests.

- No, Professor Ahmed, the Founders Were Not So Fond of Islam.While doing the MSM circuit this week, American University professor Akbar Ahmed told some whoppers about Adams, Jefferson, and Franklin.John Adams did indeed own a Quran — the copy he owned contained the following in the preface:This book is a long conference of God, the angels, and Mahomet, which that false prophet very grossly invented; sometimes he introduceth God, who speaketh to him, and teacheth him his law, then an angel, among the prophets, and frequently maketh God to speak in the plural. … Thou wilt wonder that such absurdities have infected the best part of the world, and wilt avouch, that the knowledge of what is contained in this book, will render that law contemptible …Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

- Deportation cases dropped in Houston.The Department of Homeland Security began dismissing deportation cases in Houston against illegal aliens who haven’t broken the law, or, at least who haven’t broken any law besides illegally entering the country, and committing all the associated federal offenses like tax evasion, or identity theft. Well, that and a few misdemeanors are OK too. So really DHS and ICE are dismissing deportation cases against illegal aliens as long as their crimes don’t extend beyond entering the country illegally, select federal crimes and a few misdemeanors. The standards for what constitutes a deportable offense for illegal aliens are low.This get-out-of-jail-free card for illegal aliens has garnered criticism from those opposed to illegal immigration. Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, said of the ICE’s decison, "They've made clear that they have no interest in enforcing immigration laws against people who are not convicted criminals."Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

He also will protest President Barack Obama’s support for the location.“I feel Obama is being disingenuous when he pretends he supports religious liberties,” Philp said. “(The Muslims) are not building that mosque out of love for my culture or love of the victims of 9-11 but for political reasons.”Meanwhile, members of Unitarian Universalist Church also plan to walk from their church to the Capitol on Saturday.It's spreading like a wildfire?Read the full story here.Click here for comments.
- 41 Obama White House aides owe the IRS $831,000 in back taxes -- and they're not alone.Over the years a lot of suspicion has built up across the country about Washington and its population of opportunistic transients coming to see themselves as a special kind of person, somehow above average working Americans who don't work down in that former swamp.Well, finally, an end to all those undocumented doubts. Thanks to some diligent digging by the Washington Post, those suspicions can at last be put to rest.They're correct. Accurate. Dead-on. Laser-guided. On target. Bingo-bango. As clear as it's always seemed to those Americans who don't feel special entitlements and do meet their government obligations.We now know that federal employees across the nation owe fully $1 billion in back taxes to the Internal Revenue Service.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

Philip Shenon on the crucial records the government has never explored.Are many of the secrets of 9/11 still hidden in top-secret government files?Almost certainly, say former staff members of the 9/11 Commission. With the nation scheduled to mark the ninth anniversary of the terrorist attacks this weekend, former staffers tell The Daily Beast it is clear that the 9/11 Commission, which went out of business in 2004, failed to conduct a thorough inspection of the government's most important library of raw intelligence on al Qaeda and the 9/11 plot. And nobody appears to have inspected that intelligence since.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

- Minnesota: the danger of normalization of sexual exploitation among the Native American girls.If you grew up in an Asian household like me, your first instinct would probably tell you to cook rice for dinner tonight for your family. If you grew up in a community, where everyone drinks vodka and get drunk every night, it's likely that you wouldn't see the difference between social drinking and alcoholism. Likewise, if you grew up in a household, where your mom, grandmother, and great grandmother were prostituted, your instinct may tell you that a woman's job is to look pretty to impress other men to sell her body so that she can bring bread and butter to her children. In fact, study shows that such normalization of sexual exploitation is one of the many reasons why so many young Native Americans in Minnesota become sexually exploited in one way or the other.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.
