Good Morning Campers and Whining Leftist Milk-Babies,

Item Number One: The MaryHunter said pretty much everything that needs to be said about Dede Scozzafava, who is defying conventional wisdom by letting the door hit her ass on the way out. I would only note that New York Waste of Times columnist Frank Rich is apoplectic that "GOP Stalinists" forced her to withdraw as though that's a bad thing. Historically, the New York Waste of Times was one of Uncle Joe Stalin's biggest fans.

Item Number Two: The National Education Association (NEA) has put two books by radical Marxist Saul Alinsky on its recommended reading list, including Rules for Radicals. If you do a search for "Federalist Papers" on the NEA website, the only thing that comes up is a link to a pdf file where they are mentioned by a Republican congressman. (Hat Tip: Michelle Malkin)

Item Number Three: William Kristol asks how the Obama Administration can handle nationalized health care when they can't even manage the H1N1 vaccine, as though this question even matters. The issue to the progressive left isn't whether the Government can do anything well, they just want the Government to do it. By the way, more people believe in aliens than believe that ObamaCare will be deficit-neutral.

On that note...

Something I was going to use as a Morning Brief Item metastasized into a blog post that I put on my other blog. "California's High-Tax Suckhole." Check it out if you want.
