Hot Air reports on the CIA’s super-secret plan to assassinate al-Qaeda leaders. I am shocked, just shocked and appalled that we might actually want to kill terrorist leaders and deny them their rights under our Constitution.

Yeah, right, guess again. Could The White House be looking to drum up a sense of outrage among their useful idiots in the press, thereby creating a barrage of coverage and opinion pieces to distract the populace from the fact that the stimulus isn’t working?

Guess what guys? Pursue this at your own political peril. I’ll wager that most Americans think assassinating terrorist leaders is a good idea.

So Michael Moore’s new film will be titled “Capitalism: A Love Story”.  In Michael Moore Gets It Wrong, John Stossel is quite right about Moore’s moonbat misinterpretation of the financial crisis. While Moore states that it’s unmitigated greed, Stossel reminds us that markets have a way of transforming self-interest into a common good:

The wealthy, and everyone else, almost always decide that they don’t have enough wealth.  People ask their bosses for raises.  We invest in stocks hoping for bigger returns than Treasury Bonds bring.  “Greed” is a constant.  The beauty of free markets, when government doesn’t meddle in them, is that they turn this greed into a phenomenal force for good.  The way to win big money is to serve your customers well.  Profit-seeking entrepreneurs have given us better products, shorter work days, extended lives, and more opportunities to write the script of our own life.

Overture Films will distribute the picture. Somehow I think their investment partners – foreigners, wealthy individuals and hedge funds – are interested in getting the maximum return possible on their investment. Certainly they expect bigger returns than treasury bonds. Sounds like good old fashioned capitalism to me, Michael.

In a lengthy article, Carl Cannon points out how the media’s skewering of Sarah Palin is contributing to its own demise.

This New Journalism, if you can call it that, exhibited in 2008 was epitomized by an eradication of the lines between fact and opinion – and, even more troubling, between reporting and propaganda. Some journalists were content to repeat Democratic Party talking points or bloggers’ rumors as though they were established fact, interspersing them with ideological commentary in a kind of toxic stew.

In Let’s mourn the real American heroes, Michelle Malkin summarizes the smoldering disgust of many Americans with the over-the-top, the-hell-with-morality media circus surrounding Michael Jackson’s funeral.

Here’s some questions – Putting his family aside for obvious reasons, how many of the worldwide mourners are really Michael Jackson fans? How many purchased any of his work or can name a favorite song? How many just followed someone else’s lead and mourned because it seemed like the thing to do? How many celebrity has-beens and mediocre talents will add their statements and participate in other memorial events (just wait – you know there will have to be at least one “Concert for Michael.”) How many politicians will continue to shamelessly garner media attention? How long before the rest of the Jackson family uses this to promote their own flagging careers?

And when will the real heroes get their display of public respect? Where are their concerts?

Like the lowest-cost technology, vice usually wins. Japan’s on the leading edge:

That’s not all. And what’s with a Japanese Porn distributor named “Soft on Demand”?

Asking the obvious about Sarah Palin’s sudden resignation? Andrew Breitbart suggests a tantalizing possibility.

Perhaps resigning from her first term in office may hurt Mrs. Palin’s attempts to run for higher office….But politics is not the most important way to influence our country, and reinforce conservatism’s relevancy in the current global disorder. Media is.
