Barack Obama’s decision to play golf on Memorial Day was disrespectful and hardly presidential – Telegraph
Can you imagine David Cameron enjoying a round of golf on Remembrance Sunday? It would be inconceivable for the British Prime Minister to do so, and not just because of the usually dire weather at that time of the year. Above all, it would be viewed as an act of extremely bad taste on a day when the nation remembers and mourns her war dead.

Bachmann Smart, Media Dumb By Stanley Kurtz, National Review
Seems like only yesterday when Michele Bachmann was supposed to be dumb. Come to think of it, it was yesterday, until about 8:30pm anyway. The greatest targets of this wave of liberal bigotry of late have been Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann. By joining the pariah class of conservatives, Palin and Bachmann turn themselves into legitimate outlets for the left’s suppressed prejudice against women. That yields shock when Palin’s emails show her to have been a good governor and an admirable person, or when Bachmann shines in debate.

GOP candidate Santorum: Global warming is ‘patently absurd’ – WorldNetDaily
Republican takes opposite view of Mitt Romney, who thinks mankind is responsible.
Former Congressman and current Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is turning up the heat on the issue of man-made global warming.
“I believe the Earth gets warmer and I also believe the Earth gets cooler, and I think history points out that it does that,” Santorum said on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show this afternoon. “The idea that man – through the production of CO2 (carbon dioxide) which is a trace gas in the atmosphere, and the man-made part of that trace gas is itself a trace gas – is somehow responsible for climate change is, I think, patently absurd.”
