One false move in Europe could set off global chain reaction
"If one or more fail to make the expected progress on cutting budgets, restructuring economies or boosting growth, it could drain confidence in a broad and unsettling way.
Credit markets worldwide could lock up and throw the global economy back into recession."

GOVERNMENT ASSISTED THUGGERY
GOVERNMENT ASSISTED THUGGERY?
D.C. Metro Police Escorted SEIU Protesters to Bank Of America Executive’s Home.
“Meanwhile, a teenage boy is home alone, frightened by what’s happening outside his front door.”
When tea-partiers show up on politicians’ doorsteps — and they will — I don’t want to hear any talk of “fascist tactics.”
We’re already seeing that, and the press and pundit class, for the most part, doesn’t care.
Just remember, every act sets a precedent.
Related: “They are the feral vanguard of a collapsing system, using violence and intimidation to make it clear those not favorably connected to the political power structure will be sacrificed to preserve it, for as long as possible.”
This is an outrage and not a peep out of the liberal MSM.

Multiculturalism Trumps Feminism - Mark Steyn
Multiculturalism Trumps Feminism - Mark Steyn
I wrote last week about the American Academy of Pediatrics' support for Female Genital Mutilation-lite - a 'ritual nick'.
In return, I received a remarkable number of letters asserting I'd invented the whole thing.
Not so.
You can find chapter and verse and here.
One reason why readers think we rightwing madmen are just making this stuff up is because of the shameful silence (and worse) of western feminists, who implicitly accept a two-tier sisterhood, in which some women get to lead the lives they choose while others, in the interests of 'cultural sensitivity', get a literally rawer deal that begins with FGM and, if they're really unlucky, ends with 'honor killing'.
So I'm happy to salute the great Tina Brown, a fully paid-up Clinto-Blairite but not one prepared to descend into barbarism.
Over at her Daily Beast, Miss Brown has published a tough and unsparing column by Ayaan Hirsi Ali on what the AAP's 'nick' really means - and where it leads.
I have one tiny quibble with the e-mail alert Tina sent out:
Do read the extraordinary piece by Ayaan Hirsi Ali this morning on The Daily Beast on the outrageous proposal from the American Academy of Pediatrics to 'nick' little girls, a slippery slope to tolerating genital cutting in the U.S.—Tina Brown
'Genital cutting' is itself a euphemism.
In its 1998 policy position, the AAP used the phrase 'female genital mutilation'.
A decade on, they prefer to call it 'female genital cutting' - 'mutilation' being regarded by cultural accommodationists as too judgmental.
At the rate this slippery slope is greased, you can guess where we'll be in another decade.

Steele: 'Is Joe Sestak lying right now?' on White House job offer
Steele: 'Is Joe Sestak lying right now?' on White House job offer - POLITICO Live
"DNC Chair Tim Kaine, appearing along with Steele, was asked by host Chris Wallace: 'Should the white house answer the question openly and honestly instead of stonewalling?'
Kaine replied, 'I don't know stonewalling, I'm not sure what obligation they have.
If the question gets asked, it's something they should deal with.'"
Craven coward!

Palin accuses Obama of being in bed with big oil
"The former vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor, who champions off-shore drilling, criticized the media for not drawing the link between Obama and big oil and said if this spill had happened under former Republican president George W. Bush the scrutiny would have been far tougher.
'I don't know why the question isn't asked by the mainstream media and by others if there's any connection with the contributions made to president Obama and his administration and the support by the oil companies to the administration,' she told Fox News Sunday."

Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell made local government consolidation the keynote of his State of the City speech at the beginning of the year.
"The greatest gift we could leave for our grandchildren would be a consolidated government," Heartwell said.
Interesting comment.
I guess outing the public employees union member's ever increasing wages and benefits sorta slipped his mind.
So, our grandchildren will be best gifted by more union and politician control over fewer groups of us pathetic citizens?
Hitler, Mao, Hugo, et al would be proud.
