Liberalism under siege is an ugly sight indeed. Just yesterday it was all hope and change and returning power to the people. But the people have proved so disappointing. Their recalcitrance has, in only 19 months, turned the predicted 40-year liberal ascendancy (James Carville) into a full retreat. Ah, the people, the little people, the small-town people, the "bitter" people, as Barack Obama in an unguarded moment once memorably called them, clinging "to guns or religion or" -- this part is less remembered -- "antipathy toward people who aren't like them."

The Decline of Barrack Obama
This article calls it "stunning." I am not stunned by it at all.
The RealClearPolitics average of polls now has President Obama at over 50 per cent disapproval, a remarkably high figure for a president just 18 months into his first term. Strikingly, the latest USA Today/Gallup survey has the President on just 41 per cent approval, with 53 per cent disapproving.There are an array of reasons behind the stunning decline and political fall of President Obama, chief among them fears over the current state of the US economy, with widespread concern over high levels of unemployment, the unstable housing market, and above all the towering budget deficit. Americans are increasingly rejecting President Obama’s big government solutions to America’s economic woes, which many fear will lead to the United States sharing the same fate as Greece. STORY

Those Wacky Airline Employees
As JetBlue's take-this-job-and-shove-it-steward Steven Slater enjoys his 15 minutes in the spotlight, folks are already asking who could play him in a movie. People are suggesting everyone from Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman to "Project Runway" judge Michael Kors.But, in fact, there's only one actor who could do Slater's my-way-or-the-flyway exit justice, and that's Stephen Stucker, who so memorably played Johnny, the completely-off-the-wall air traffic controller in 1980's "Airplane!"

Rick Pitino - Stuck in Louisville
It’s so bad that Pitino even lost his top recruit, Marquis Teague — who just happens to be the son of one of his former players — to none other than Calipari.
Crushing.
It’s gotten to the point where the guy who didn’t want to deal with one-and-done players now has his sights set on Quincy Miller — a clear-cut, one-year loaner who is a virtual lock to leave college after the 2011-12 season.
Pitino would like nothing more than to get out of Louisville and get a fresh start. But there are no viable options.
“It would be very difficult to hire him now,” said one athletic director of a top-20 caliber program. “Not with everything that’s happened. He wouldn’t be on my radar.”
“No chance,” said another big-time AD. “He’s almost unhireable right now.”
