Updates on the latest outrages
1. BagNewsNotes dissects some of the less obvious implications of the Newsweek illustration:
1. Set in an Oval Office the revolutionaries have cleared of the desk (because revolutionaries don't do desks, so much as lairs), the self congratulations -- especially at this early, pre-convention stage of the campaign -- ascribes a massive sense of entitlement to the Obamas.
2. Minus the eye contact of the actual fist bump in St. Paul (and adding the arched eyebrows), Angela Davis Obama's expression is transformed from "I love you" to "You're SUCH an evil genius, baby ... and no one ever caught on!"
3. Besides Barack's pursed lips -- which have turned into code in the MSM for this arrogant (read: "uppity") black man -- the most damning element in this illustration, by far, is Obama's eye. The furtiveness lends the perfect Machiavellian effect, and the fact it's directed our way suggests we should really know better what this guy is up to.
If you haven't noticed the media trying to portray Obama as arrogant uppity, read and learn. Apparently knowing the Iraq war was a terrible idea beforehand, and pointing that he had the guts to say so, is arrogant.
And in regards to HHR's proposed new regulations, NARAL has a form to email your members of Congress.
ETA (Thursday): Nancy Pelosi has properly denounced the proposed regulation.
