Honduras keeps on voting, thus frustrating the hope-and-change-and-lifetime-terms coalition. Captain Ed Morrissey calls it another slap in the face for an administration that has twisted itself into another situation, "...about as lose-lose as one will see in diplomacy, and it was utterly, utterly avoidable.  The best thing that Obama can do is to swallow his medicine and learn to shut up." 

We know that won't happen, but if you want a brief antidote, take your eyes down to Florida and witness a man who actually is a great speaker, sans teleprompter:  Lt. Col. Allen West.  He lost in a close one in 2008, but this time the wind may be at his back... trust me, the link, via Ace, is worth it.

After you're amped up from listening to Allan West, get prepared for the inevitable spin on Climate-gate by reading this measured WSJ editorial by Richard Lindzen, MIT professor of meteorology.  Lindzen may only be one of the 30,000 plus, but he has long been a boogeyman for the environmentalists who are deeply invested in global warming being a crisis.  Because he's not mental.  Or read this from the Mises Institute. 

Now back to the amazing run of letters from patients and doctors finally waking up and crying out "stop!"  Getting it right is much more important than passing this bill right now....unless, say, you were mainly bent on taking over more of the private sector at all costs.
