Nancy Pelosi plays defensive tackle for Rangel

Even Nancy Pelosi had to admit what Charlie Rangel has been admonished for "is not good", but she was quick to add, "It did not jeopardize the country in any way."

Desiree Rogers to step down

Social Secretary Desiree Rogers is stepping down three months after the infamous party-crashing incident at the White House. No word yet if she has won NAACP Image Award.

That was a nice puff piece. Here are a few reminders of why this avowed communist came under fire.

Slap down with George Will

George Will was in rare form on This Week with a Former Member of the Clinton Administration. Since Stephanopoulos moved on to GMA, maybe they could just rename the show Slap down, with George Will.

A slight misunderstanding

Abu al-Zarqawi died and George Washington met him at the Pearly Gates. He slapped him across the face and yelled, "How dare you try to destroy the nation I helped conceive!"

Patrick Henry approached, punched him in the nose and shouted, "You wanted to end our liberties but you failed!"

James Madison followed, kicked him in the groin and said, "This is why I allowed our government to provide for the common defense!"

Thomas Jefferson was next, he beat al-Zarqawi with a long cane and snarled "It was Evil men like you who inspired me to write the Declaration of Independence."

The beatings and thrashings continued as George Mason, James Monroe and 66 other early Americans unleashed their anger on the terrorist Leader. As al-Zarqawi lay bleeding and in pain, an Angel appeared. Al- Zarqawi wept and said, "This is not what you promised me."

The Angel replied, "I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you in Heaven. What did you think I said?"

Planned Parenthood: Stark raving mad

If Planned Parenthood's reaction to the Tebow ad doesn't convince you that they are raging lunatics, this should. They are teaching 10-year-olds how to enjoy sex.

Reagan's last campaign

It's amazing how relevant and timely Reagan remains.

Tebow derangement syndrome

Here comes Super Bowl Sunday and the controversy around the Tim Tebow ad that almost no one has seen. But that hasn't stopped the shrill army of protesters from NOW, NARAL, and Gloria Allred from having a complete melt-down over what is purported to be a 30-second spot about Mrs. Tebow and her decision to forego an abortion despite a highly dangerous pregnancy.

Well, good news, Planned Parenthood has come up with a response to the Tebow ad (which no one has seen yet), featuring two prominent athletes (men), discussing their respect for women and their right to choose. Incidentally, isn't Planned Parenthood funded in part by tax dollars? How many Americans are happy to pay for this:





Notice what was not discussed in this ad, namely, what is the unborn. Is it human or not? Isn't that the main issue at hand? What was discussed: Their love of family, their mothers and daughters, grassy meadows and puppy dogs. That's all nice and well, but beside the point.

This is where the forehead slap comes; Sean James said, "We are working toward the day where [sic] every woman will be valued." How much do they value unborn women? Take China for example, because of forced abortions, many families elect to abort females so they can have a son. That is really bad for women.

Ultimately, people refuse to see abortion for what it really is. Case in point, take the iron tight logic of this young lady:



It is unconscionable in this age of scientific enlightenment, as we have begun to unlock the secrets of DNA, that anyone would dismiss the unborn as some unremarkable glob of tissue. To do so is intellectually dishonest at best.




By the way, we can't forget about another ad that was rejected by the media before the Tebow controversy.

UPDATE:
Here is the horrifying ad that caused a firestorm of controversy.

Tablet Wars

Apple is first out of the gate with its iPad and there are more tablets to come. I think Tim Challies summed-up best why the iPad falls short in his review: "iPad: The Greatest Disappointment in Human History." Time will tell, but I think the iPad was a huge misstep for Apple.

There is no love lost between Steve Jobs and Google. On the heels of the iPad comes Google with its own tablet concept that will probably be available before year's end. It will be interesting to see what  Google comes up with. You can see an early concept video here.

In the meantime, here is a handy chart comparing the iPad with the current e-readers already on the market.
