Even the usually reliable E.J. Dionne and Chris Matthews are are upset with Obama for prohibiting “the free exercise thereof” by ordering Catholic institutions to provide free birth control with their health care plans.
Actually Congress hasn’t prohibited the free exercise of religion. The president has. Tricky.
Anyway, Obama should be thankful Jesse Jackson can’t enforce his personal views on birth control.

My favorite atheist has moved on to meet his maker. He deserves extra credit for his independent mind, brilliant wit, courage, and humanity.
Here’s a link, sent by another Hitchens fan, to a speech he made to the Christian Academy in Texas.
“Take the risk of thinking for yourself, much more happiness, truth, beauty, and wisdom will come to you that way.”
Baby Talk

Obama has warned that, if he is defeated, Republicans will leave you “on your own“. This is a bad thing? It is if you’r building the Nanny State.
Speaking of Change, last Thursday was Diaper Need Awareness Day in the state of Connecticut. It was a day for the diaper lobby to call attention to the needs of the diaper disadvantaged. The holiday prompted Mark Steyn to recall that the government already provides “adult baby” Stanley Thornton Jr. with income disability checks so he can wear a giant diaper, while laying around in a giant crib, under the attention of a buxom nanny. Apparently there are actual adults whose fetish for pooping their pants is now a federally recognized disability. Steyn considers this “almost too poignant an emblem of the republic at twilight”.
As usual, Homeland Security has been far ahead of the curve on this issue.

Update: Here’s a Michelle Malkin column about Biden’s thuggish behavior toward journalists in this case and others.
