Sarah Palin Speaks Out Against Left-Wing Hate and Lies
Nice Deb has the commentary, "Video: Hannity Interviews Sarah Palin."
And I'll just add that it's a great interview. Sarah Palin has been exhibiting tremendous leadership and poise over this past week or so. She's an immensely needed voice of moral clarity, and especially so in these difficult times of progressive un-reality.
RELATED:
* "CNN Poll: Majority Says Palin's 'Crosshairs Map' Not to Blame in Arizona Shooting — 49 Percent Say 'Harsh Rhetoric' Not a Factor."
* "Dana Loesch Gets Death Threats in Wake of Arizona Shooting."
* "United States Flag at Half-Mast at Sunset on MLK Day in Laguna Beach."
* "'Heated Rhetoric' Not to Blame in Arizona Shooting, Poll Finds."
ALSO: There's lots of commentary at Memeorandum. I'll link Nate Silver, who's amusing if not fully competent at political analysis.
Announcement: Threat Levels Raised,
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.
The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.
Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."
The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose."
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be alright, Mate." Three more escalation levels remain: "Crikey!" "I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend" and "The barbie is cancelled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

MRAP Overhead Wire Mitigation Kit
Soldiers driving the Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected vehicle were frequently knocking out voltage lines, putting crews and equipment at risk in addition to aggravating locals and damaging infrastructure. Researchers at the Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center at Warren, Mich. took an idea from Soldiers in the field and applied science. Officials said the kit adapts easily to newly integrated vehicles and requires no modification and can be installed without special tools. Photo Credit: U.S. Army photo

Second Psycho Involved in Tucson Shooting..........by Dan Friedman
It seems one of the people that Jared Loughner wounded, Eric Fuller, got the memo that links the rampage to Sarah Palin and the Tea Party, but never got the memo about the need for “civility” going forward. At a town hall meeting being taped for a special edition of ABC's "This Week," Fuller took a photo of the Tea Party representative and yelled: "you're dead." Fuller was hauled off by police and arrested on misdemeanor disorderly conduct and threat charges, and then taken to a hospital to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
Which only goes to prove that in the process of bearing false witness and recklessly spinning yarns from straw, the Leftards in the legacy media and their counterparts on the Web have created a real “climate of hate” which could be haunting us for years. More details right here
A Britney Break from Blogging the Left's Blood Libel
I've been taking a break from blogging the left's blood libel. And I'll tell you, Britney Spears looks phenomenal in her new video clip: "Britney Spears — 'Hold It Against Me' — Rule 5."
That said, I think Saberpoint says it well, "Moving On":
The Left is more than ruthless, they are evil. They seek to rule, not by persuasion or honest debate, but by any means necessary. They revel in slander, character assassination and violence. They are steeped in hatred for all who oppose them. They seek to create and hold a monopoly on news media and editorial opinion; they support voter fraud and stolen elections; they prosecute political opponents on trumped-up charges in kangaroo courts. They have raised "the politics of personal destruction" to a high art form. Fairness, civility and common decency are unknown to them. I do not see the American Left as fellow citizens, I see them as sworn enemies for whom I feel little or no commonality or fraternity.
