• "Mr. Bush is a clear-eyed realist when it comes to his circumstances, and ours. He is not in political trouble because he inhabits a bubble. He is on trouble because he has undertaken a difficult war against a relentless enemy and is determined to see it though despite the public's fatigue and doubt. He is in trouble because from the start of his administration he has faced relentless domestic political enemies who are determined to cripple and, if possible, ruin his presidency." (extended) - Stanley Renshon
• "Heroes & Pioneers[from Time Magazine]: No Glenn Reynolds, No Charles Johnson, NO Michelle Malkin? ...Stop buying this treasonous rag . CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TODAY! ...Top Photo: Jesse Jackson, Cindy Sheehan, Al Sharpton, Susan Sarandon marching in support of terror yesterday, NYC May you spend eternity living under Shariah law (better cover up those swingin' mammaries Susie)."

• "I got to say that, you know, for the vice president of the United States to legitimize a guy like Rush Limbaugh is every bit as bad as all those Democrats who went out to Las Vegas to kiss the ring of the Daily Kos and the left-wing bloggers.

  The lawyer arguing for the Alaska fishermen affected by the spill, Jeffrey Fisher, had an idea. “Well,” he said, “it can hire fit and competent people.” - via Truth Progress
