Overnight Open Thread
— CDR M

I guess it isn't enough to have all the major networks and newspapers openly carrying Obama's re-election water. Even So-Called Science Journalists Are Rooting For Obama. Stick a fork in it Jim. Journalism is dead.

There are three articles worth discussing: (1) Undecided voters and climate change; (2) Fox News' climate coverage; and (3) Airplane windows.

All three articles, particularly the last one, appear to have been written in order to score some political points or to cater to a left-leaning demographic of readers. But, that's not good. Increasingly, conservatives are distrusting science. Could it be that science journalism, which clearly favors one side of the political spectrum over the other, is partially to blame for this trend?


I have to disagree with the author's reasoning on why article #1 might be legitimate as it would seem that Most Americans See No Immediate Threat From Climate Change. Spot on as for the rest of the article and highlights why journalists in ALL fields are failing. more...

Pat Caddell Drops The Hammer On Our Corrupt Media
— JohnE.

A bit of a content-lite day. So, watch this.

I disagree a bit with Caddell's reasoning here. Romney did go hard on Benghazi, but the press went into a frenzy about his statement about it. I do not believe that this media sitiuation can be solved by simply having Republicans "be tougher". This is precisely what Romney did.

Anyway, this video is equal parts terrifying and infuriating. And it's got nothing to do with having to look at Caddell. Zing!

College Football Thread
— Dave in Texas

The last Saturday in September. Plenty of games for you morons, here's the top ten lineup, all times EDT (the Official Time Zone for AoSHQ):

Alabama (1) vs. Ole Miss (9:15pm), and I expect Alabama will have no trouble after Texas whacked Miss like they did), Oregon (2) and Wash. St. - 10:30pm, LSU (3) vs. Towson - 7pm, Florida St. (4) and South Florida - 6pm, Georgia (5) vs. Tennessee - 3:30pm, South Carolina (6) and Kentucky - 7pm, Kansas St. (7) gets a weekend off after upsetting OU (also off), Stanford ( was upset by Washington 17-13 on Thursday night, West Virginia (9) hosts Baylor in their first Big 12 game, Notre Dame (10) off.

I hear Morgantown has a pretty nice Motel 6.

If you're an NFL picker get your picks in for tomorrow. And remember, if you don't think too good, don't think too long. Have a great weekend morons.

Why Doesn't Obama Take More Of An Interest In Golf?
— JohnE.

I mean this seriously. He has played over a hundred rounds of golf since his swearing in. That's a lot of golf. Yet, he doesn't appear to be a fan of golf at all. This is odd for someone that plays as often as he does.

Bill Clinton was famous for his love of watching and attending PGA events. Buzz Patterson's book Dereliction of Duty describes some of this, ahem, passion.

I approached President Clinton on three occasions at this golf tournament, Roger, to ask him for the go-ahead to launch this attack. We had Air Force fighters in the air, ready to drop bombs and to repel Saddam’s forces, and on three occasions, President Clinton could not be bothered to take the phone call from Sandy Berger. So, on three occasions I approached the President, he brushed me off—he wanted to watch the golf tournament. So I saw, really, for the first time, the dereliction of duty, as it were, by President Clinton not being able—not being willing to take the phone call while thousands and thousands of Kurds were being slaughtered by Saddam Hussein.
Both Bushes were big golf fans as well. As I watch the Ryder Cup this weekend, I am reminded of this story:
Entering the final day, the Americans were four points down, a huge margin to make up. But they had been given a pep talk by the then Governor of Texas, George W Bush, who had read out the “no surrender” address from the Battle of the Alamo. It was so belligerent that David Duval stormed out of the locker room shouting, “Let’s go out and kill them.” The Americans duly staged an almighty comeback and it all came down to the 17th green. The US player Justin Leonard nailed a monster 45ft putt, which prompted his team-mates, their wives and caddies to rush on to the green and high-five each other, dressed in their ludicrous maroon uniforms that made them look like they worked at a cut-price pizza joint. They had forgotten that José Maria Olazábal, the Spaniard, had yet to finish his game. Olazábal, looking flustered, missed his putt and America won the Ryder Cup.
Talk to any of your friends or family that golf frequently, and I can assure you they are watching or paying attention to the Ryder Cup.

This is hardly some game-changing issue. It's just... very odd.

Saturday Morning Open Thread
— andy

According to this report at Breitbart, the "fighting words" standard is the new hotness on the left.

Which tells me this guy needs his ass kicked.

Because it appears we conservatives have been doing this all wrong when we begrudgingly acknowledge that asshats like Bill Ayers do indeed have a first amendment right to speech and "expression" of political views with which we disagree.

Wrong tactic.

We should riot, destroy property, and generally make asses of ourselves until the law goes our way. Because that's apparently a tactic that works when you want to suppress speech you don't like.

Some Food For Thought On Benghazi
— JohnE.

Days from the start of the Iraq War until the fall of Baghdad: 21 Days.

Days from the Benghazi terrorist attack to securing the site: 17 Days and counting.

This is absolutely absurd. Explain to me how the situation on the ground is safe enough for a CNN reporter but not safe enough for an FBI investigation team? Is it the Goldilocks of dangerousness? Too dangerous for some but not too dangerous for others?

Furthermore, why is the Administration admitting that this is terrorism treated as some sort of endgame? Congratulations, you admitted the obvious. Now, what the hell are you going to do about it.
