* I put up my interview with Michael Medved in which I argue that Obama is a demigod with angry callers. Don’t miss it.
* Some cracks are starting to appear in Romney’s perfect veneer. Ends up as a teenager, he tried a cigarette and tasted beer. Dude was crazy. What he didn’t do as a teenager, though, was create a giant new government health care program with unconstitutional mandates. No teenager is that irresponsible.
* Michael Moore likened the UC Davis pepper spraying incident to Tiananmen Square and vowed to eat a whole roast pig in solidarity. It is pretty similar as in Tiananmen Square students were protesting for democracy and were threatened with tanks. At UC Davis, students were protesting — whatever it is OWS is about — and were threatened with an eye irritant.
In defense of the police at UC Davis, though, peaceful protesters are a lot easier to hit accurately with that stuff.
* Frank Rich tried to link JFK’s assassin — a guy who defected to the Soviet Union — to the right wing. Maybe the easiest thing for the left to do is declare violence to always be a right wing act so anyone who is ever violent is by definition right wing. Then we can call Bill Ayers Obama’s right wing friend.
* I have a solution for the super committee’s failure: We take all the Congressmen who don’t want to cut spending, seal them in metal boxes, and throw those boxes in the ocean. Actually, I don’t know if that solves anything; it just seems like a really good idea.
* Michelle Obama was booed at a NASCAR race. No update yet on her proud of America status.
* Some Democrat pollsters are saying that Obama should step aside and let Hillary run for president. Few Democrats want to come out and say what they know in their hearts: Obama just isn’t very good at being president. Would Hillary be a better president? We can’t say for certain, but she is someone other than Obama so there’s at least a 90% chance she would be.

“Frank Rich tried to link JFK’s assassin — a guy who defected to the Soviet Union — to the right wing.”
Kinda like the documentary on VH1 that called Al and Tipper Gore’s PMRC a conservative group.
In defense of Michael Medved, Frank, he’s been the best host so far in playing along with your improv.
I was at the Berkeley protest. The cops turned me into a newt…but I got better.
@Jimmy: I was amazed that Medved strung the game along for the entire segment.
The cops at UCDavis thought they had brought the cardamom spray — just wanted to freshen up the kids, you know — but doesn’t it figure, some knucklehead back at HQ sent the wrong canisters. Oh well!
Hang in there, Frank — Bill Maher’s fans consist of every atheist American crank who thinks the world came into existance the day he was born (and some of them are pals of mine, so I know), but as such they’ll cease to exist when they die. You’ll eventually be the best-selling political satirist in heaven.

Congratulations on marrying a woman who stops talking when you don’t answer. The usual behavior is to start screaming and throwing things.
“In defense of the police at UC Davis, though, peaceful protesters are a lot easier to hit accurately with that stuff.”
Hmm, Cops spraying california hippie commies (redundant) … Why do people think this is a bad thing.
Sasquatch was not booed, she was mooed!
“Some Democrat pollsters are saying that Obama should step aside and let Hillary run for president. ”
Do we really want four more years of seriously ugly in the White House?
I agree with the left that the UC Davis cops should not have used pepper spray, they should have used TASER CANNONS !!!!! (Claymore mine like devices that launch dozens of indvidual taser cartridges…fried hippie bonanaza)
I say we test the taser cannon on the super committee.
I’d be afraid toi tase Michael Moore, too much grease spatter.
“I have a solution for the super committee’s failure…”
Your solution is much too complicated.
Dracul The Impaler.
Now we’re talking.
There’s a JFK assassination museum in the Dealy Plaza book depository building called The 6th Floor Museum (yes, THE book depository building.) The exhibit section about Oswald is simply entitled “THE LEFTIST.”
BTW the 6th Floor Museum is outstanding, do not miss it if you’re ever in Dallas.
I have a better solution, Jimmy! The Sandusky Slap!!! Although come to think of it…Barney Frank would get in line repeated times so it would take quite awhile to get everyone through. Can you imagine the pain for Sandusky having to do Pelosi!!! BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Rush said today that Barney Frank commented that congress is full of vegetables. Rush then said that if that is true, then it must have fruits in it as well!!! Precious!!!
Yeah, good analogy, ussjimmycarter. America is sure loves its “fruits and vegetables.”
Of course, I love them too.
On a stick.
pepper spray is expensive, so i thought the police should have conducted a baton charge. more cost efficient and entertaining.
