Go-it-alone cowboy Obama looks to strike Syria without even Britain’s help?

Remember the president who recklessly rushed headlong into military excursions around the globe without the help of any allies? Neither do I, but I remember liberals saying that about George W. Bush in spite of the fact that his action in Iraq had more than 30 coalition partners. It was a given, of course, that Bush's Iraq coalition would include Britain, because Britain always supports us and always joins us. For all the liberal blather about how Bush supposedly "alienated our allies," no president could be so inept on the foreign policy front that the Brits would fail to go with us.

Left’s excuse for Scott snub: He didn’t jump at our form letter so we figured forget it

This site blew up last night, as did quite a few others, with the news that organizers of the March on Washington 50th Anniversary commemoration did not invite America's only black U.S. senator to speak. How you could ignore Sen. Tim Scott at a commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream Speech" is hard to fathom until you recognize that the event was organized by partisan Democrats and Scott is a Tea Party Republican.

WaPo columnist: This hulabaloo about Miley Cyrus really shows how racist we all are

Silly me. To the extent that I thought about it at all, which wasn't much, I thought people were buzzing because someone who was an innocent family-friendly Disney Channel star just a few years ago is now prancing around on stage, simulating sex acts with some dude and wearing almost nothing. But I obviously forgot to check with Washington Post columnist Clinton Yates, who would have set me straight.

Ted Cruz on CNN: Time for Republicans to ‘stand up and win the argument’ (video)

We talked a lot about this last week, and it was good to see Ted Cruz standing firm on it, and not letting Candy Crowley trip him up with thinly veiled Democrat talking points such as, "It's already law. Why don't you just get on board and try it?" What a question. When you have major problems in the country like job losses, soaring health premiums and bloated federal implementation costs - and you can trace it all back to one law the federal government put in place - what is the job of the U.S. senator if not to get rid of that law?

Nidal Hasan convicted on 13 counts of murder in Fort Hood shootings

And so it did. The only real question, to the extent that there was one, involved premeditation. But even that wasn't much of a question. The jury deliberated seven hours over two days to reach a unanimous verdict - which, it's important to note, is not required in a court martial. In this case, it's hard to see how the outcome could have been anything else. More from CNN:

Let’s face it: If Hillary is elected, Bill will be the president

One of the things I hate about our politics-obsessed news culture is that we're already talking about 2016 in 2013, just as we were already talking about 2012 in 2009, and so on. I hate it more than ever this time around because we're talking so much about Hillary Clinton.

Bradley Manning announces he (she?) wants to live as a woman named Chelsea

Once I stopped laughing, it occurred to me that Manning might be crazy like a fox. When you're in as much trouble as he, er . . . she, is, it sure can't hurt to have some advocacy group ready to champion your cause. Why not announce that you want to be a T? The LGBT crowd will immediately become your fan club, and might even raise money to pay your legal expenses. Of course, once you publicly announce your intentions, you might actually have to do it. No more place in the Blue Jays' starting rotation for, um, Chelsea. CBS News:

It’s open season on Ted Cruz

It appears conservatives have finally sent someone to Washington who is doing what it was hoped he would do, and the proof that Ted Cruz is the real thing comes unmistakably in the form of the constant barrage of nonsense currently being aimed at him.

I thought pro-aborts didn’t want back-alley, coat-hanger abortions

There's no way to make abortion safe for the baby, of course, but it's been a major talking point of pro-aborts ever since Roe v. Wade in 1973 - that if abortion isn't legal that you will merely drive women to unsafe, back-alley, coat-hanger abortions. In other words, real Gosnell-type stuff.

Ed Schultz: Only ‘phony Christians’ oppose ObamaCare

You probably don't want to watch the entire 17 minutes because you can only take so much of a guy yelling at you, especially when he skillfully works in every Democrat talking point from the past several years (even working in the "war on women" line), but from a guy who I guess self-identifies as a born-again Christian, he really needs to get a handle on that whole spirit of anger problem:

It’s on! GOP bans NBC, CNN from hosting debates

The Republican National Committee has followed through on its threat to cut out NBC and CNN from the hosting of presidential debates if the networks will not cancel their plans to beatify Hillary Clinton in a made-for-TV movie and a fawning documentary, respectively.

Uh oh: Snowden documents show NSA broke privacy rules ‘thousands of times’

Regardless of what you think of the leaker, the leaked documents speak for themselves. It's one thing to make the case that something is necessary for the purposes of national security, and that's an argument we can have, but if there are rules in place and they are routinely ignored, how can anyone be confident their rights are being protected?

Fiasco: Another key component of ObamaCare is delayed a year

Ordinarily, when this many things are going wrong, you would just admit that the whole thing is flawed and start laying the groundwork to scrap it and replace it with something else. But this is Obama's "signature legislation" and his "greatest policy achievement," so the fact that it's a complete disaster doesn't even begin to prompt a change. Just because it imperils an already fragile economy doesn't justify giving Republicans a talking point.
