Clearing the Browser Tabs, a Harlington-Straker Production

Found on those big reels of magnetic tape in the basement of SHADO control, some random material that we simply ran out of time to link to this week:

• Peter Robinson at Ricochet: “Can Europe Be Saved? (Can Paul Krugman?)”

• Andrew Klavan: “God to Gervais: No, Really – Thank You!”

• Jeff Dunetz at Newsreal: “Helen Thomas Whines About Israel, And CNN’s Soledad O’Brien Lets Her Off The Hook.”

• Jim Treacher at the Daily Caller: “The ‘Teabaggers Inspired Loughner’ narrative continues to crumble.”

• Don Surber: “Liberals ain’t that smart about Palin.” Very often, it seems that merely the first four words of that sentence will do.

• Climate Depot: “Oh My! 2010 tied for ‘hottest’ year?! Relax, it is ‘purely a political statement’ — Even NASA’s Hansen admits it is ‘not particularly important’ — Prof. mocks ‘hottest decade’ claim as ‘a joke.'”

• Ann Coulter: “Mud Libel.”

• Michael Walsh in the New York Post: “Cultural vandalism — State Dept. v. Mom & Pop.”

• John Staddon at the New Criterion: “Glenn Beck: Why do they hate him so?” (See also: Palin, Sarah.)
  

And finally, a quick round-up on Steve Cohen (D-TN), who’s long been Mr. Civility personified:

Small Dead Animals: “Now is the Time at SDA When We Juxtapose:”

Jan 12, 2011: President Obama issues a call for civility

Jan 19, 2011: Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen compares Republicans to Nazis

Disgraced Democrat ex-Congressman Alan Grayson insists that Sarah Palin instigated the Arizona Shootings

Meanwhile at Iowahawk, some suggested form letters for Cohen’s staffers, whenever he has a business dispute: “Dear Nazi.”

And Kathy Shaidle asks the logical follow-up question: “If Republicans are Nazis, why aren’t you a lampshade?”

How bad was Cohen’s performance this week? So bad that even Jon Stewart complained about his fellow liberal.
