NRO's The Corner: what if an accident of birth had placed Obama in Cuba?

not to mention that the photo isn't even from yesterday

Not to mention Marines don't guard the Tomb of the Unknowns. That's been one of the duties Army's 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment for the past 64 years.

oh ha

the leftist rag sites who ran that photo yesterday even got that right

^of the Army's... Seriously anyone with any experience in the military could spot Army ceremonial uniform vs. Marine ceremonial uniform in an instant.

marines ceremonial uniform is just shirtless and oiled iirc

marines love to be confused w/ soldiers btw lol

the corrected article admits the picture error but has no mention of the marines thing

marines thing was just quietly edited w/o comment i think

Still dealing with Sandy. Back soon.

This definitely falls into the "Kind of lol but mostly sad" category.

omigod that poor simp

"By 'some' I mean 'me,' and by 'praying' I mean 'shotgunning a package of Oreos.'"

good use of the lord's time, that

Why pray for the victims of Sandy when a website is down? Priorities, people.

disappointed K-Lo is a fullblown hysteric at this point like she was in '08.

*isn't

If she honestly believes that Romney is going to win at this point, it will make her election night meltdown all the more fevered and hysterical.

Covering All the Bases

By Mark Steyn

As the President says, women are not an interest group. No, sir, they’re several interest groups, and one can’t but admire the generational thoroughness of the Democratic campaign with their precisely targeted advertising: Barack Obama will satisfy your lady parts, deflower your daughter, turn your grade-schooler into a glassy-eyed Kim Jong-Il extra, and get gran’ma mouthing like a gangsta ho.

What, nothing for the horny-cougar demographic?

get gran’ma mouthing like a gangsta ho

would pay money to watch Mark Steyn beaten by a braying mob

good one, mark, you really made those democrats look bad. /derp

K-Lo has more thoughts:

That said, I heard from one first responder in Brigantine, New Jersey, who was taking a break and checking what we were saying. (Always so humbling to know that when you get a line you might be checking in on us!) He has no access to any of the coverage of the visit, but he was on the ground at the time. He says the president wound up in the most Republican ward of the city. He reports that one person close to him who still has a W sticker on his car “walked through 60 degree water” to see President Obama because he is the president of the United States and appreciated that he was bringing attention to their devastation, and showing some solidarity with them as they face rebuilding and other choices about how to go forward.

In addition to the smarmy, smutty tone, the ad was an ugly, desperate attempt to manipulate young women into voting for Obama, on the general grounds that he is “a great guy,” and “cool.” Apart from the fact that neither of those qualities are really at the top of the list of key attributes for boyfriends or leaders of the free world, the ad occasioned disgust because it was a new cultural low.

smarmy AND smutty! Well then!

top attributes for Lisa Schiffren boyfriends

Wait, on what woman-hating planet are "a great guy" and "cool" NOT at least near the top in a list of desirable boyfriend attributes?

Nordlinger brags about his black friend, to Marilyn Horne:

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/332271/hornes-aplenty-jay-nordlinger

Marilyn Horne and Lena Horne became good friends — and Lena would tell her, “We’re sistahs under the skin.” This leads me to tell her about Rachel Noerdlinger, who is press secretary to Al Sharpton. She calls me Brother Jay, and I call her Sister Rachel.

how much did it hurt him to write "sistahs"

meanwhile Stanley Kurtz calls a new anti-Obama essay "The Fire Next Time."

Pennsylvania Could Be Romney’s Inchon Landing
By John Fund
November 6, 2012 11:49 A.M. Comments0

In 1950, during the Korean War, General Douglas MacArthur launched a truly daring military maneuver — outflanking the enemy and making a sudden amphibious landing behind North Korean lines at Inchon. The invasion was almost a complete surprise, forcing the North Koreans to flee inland. Within days MacArthur had recaptured the capital of Seoul and changed the entire conflict.

Mitt Romney is attempting a political equivalent of an Inchon landing in Pennsylvania, a state that hasn’t voted Republican for president since 1988. His campaign and allied groups have poured in $12 million in last-minute advertising and get-out-the-vote efforts.

i.e. The Batshittery Begins

"Begins"

oh but I mean the combination of stiff upper lipism, triumphalism, tribalism, self-pity, and thuggery that only out-of-shape people posting behind a Target can pull off on Election Day.

Did Jay-Z Just Accidentally Endorse Romney?
By Jillian Kay Melchior
November 6, 2012 12:38 P.M.

At an Obama rally yesterday, the rapper performed his hit “99 Problems” but changed the lyrics to “if you’re havin’ world problems, I feel bad for you son/ I got 99 problems, but Mitt ain’t one.”

If this person is 80 years old I might allow that.

The epic levels of butthurt this morning are a thing of beauty.

Assuming this is not a troll, I love this comment:

George LeS • 5 hours ago
I talked to too many people to believe that we can win with social conservatism. The fact is that, to most Americans, Mormons, Evangelicals, and we Catholics are creepy. They really fear us. And since they disbelieve in fiscal conservatism, are weary with overseas problems, and don't give a damn about the Constitution, we really have nothing to offer which they want.

From this day forth, we live under a Left tyranny.

PORGIS!

Time’s Up
By David Gelernter

We’ve seen an important (though far from decisive) battle in the slow-motion civil war the nation is undergoing: The blue states want to secede not from America but from Americanism. They reject the American republic of God-fearing individuals in favor of the European ideal, which has only been government by aristocracy: either an aristocracy of birth or, nowadays, of ruling know-it-alls — of post-religious, globalist intellectuals (a.k.a. PORGIs). As I’ve said before — many others have too — you can’t graduate class after class after class of left-indoctrinated ignoramuses without paying the price. Last night was a down payment.
