My dog is smarter than my goldfish but I wouldn't want him running the country either.

"The Hammer" nails another one. Well Done, Sir Charles. However,I do think a lot of progressives don't believe Communism is dead. Rather, they think it's only sleeping, and they're trying mightily to wake the corpse.

Mr. President, Don't infect our kids with your radical social disease.

You said: "But when she extrapolates from there to 'the Democrats are corrupt in such a way that you should vote for someone else,' it's not demonstrated, and my credulity runs out."

She has been showing Democrats' corruption pretty much on a daily basis. Again, check her website.

Perhaps you should consider how you define a journalistic masterpiece. I submit that it would not be one weighted down with so many facts and figures that your eyes glaze over and you stop reading or only skim to the end. Michelle is as good at supporting her arguments with facts as Ann Coulter -- and I'm pretty sure you choose not to believe her either. But it's in their books that you get such details as you seem to demand, not in daily...

It appears that you either are not very familiar with Michelle's work or that you are only concerned with forwarding your own views. Your stated objections add up to: She doesn't show enough data to support her arguments.

Fair enough, but realistically, there isn't room for that sort of extensive analysis in a single column. I suggest you visit her website if you want a better demonstration of Michelle's journalistic standards. In the meantime, if you apply your standards to your own comment here, you didn't supply facts adequate to your argument. You merely expressed an opion and dressed it up with a few academic-sounding words. That might work in ObamaWorld but not in the real one.

This is another journalistic masterpiece from Michelle. Brava!

There is no cure for Palinphobia, other than death.
