A Muslim bus driver stunned passengers when he pulled over and started praying in the aisle – with the engine still running. The driver parked without warning then rolled out a fluorescent jacket as an improvised prayer mat. He took off his shoes, knelt down facing Mecca, and began to chant.

RIGHT ON— On Sunday the left went bonkers after they discovered that the TelePrompter-less former Governor Sarah Palin wrote notes on the palm of her left hand for her speech to the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville. The far left absolutely freaked over this non-issue rather than focus on her brilliant speech knocking the Obama Administration’s horrid record on economics and national defense.

Closer inspection of a photo of Sarah Palin, during a speech in which she mocked President Obama for his use of a teleprompter, reveals several notes written on her left hand. The words “Energy”, “Tax” and “Lift American Spirits” are clearly visible. There’s also what appears to read as “Budget cuts” with the word Budget crossed out.

President Barack Obama has invited republicans to the White house to participate in a televised discussion on health care reform. Obama said in an interview with CBS News anchor Katie Couric on Sunday: “I want to ask them to put their ideas on the table, and then after the recess, which will be a few weeks away, I want to come back and have a large meeting, the Republicans and Democrats, to go through systematically all the best ideas that are out there and move it forward” Is his proposal an attempt to reach across party lines and come together with republicans to form a bipartisan solution to health care reform? Certainly not, if Obama wanted a bipartisan solution to health care he could have attempted this months before the democrats lost their super majority in the senate.

Obama has secretly deployed hundreds of soldiers into Pakistan THE discovery of three American soldiers among the dead in a suicide bombing at the opening of a girls’ school in the northwestern Pakistan town of Dir last week reignited the fears of many Pakistanis that Washington was set on invading their country. Barack Obama has banned the Bush-era term “war on terror” and dithered about sending extra troops to Afghanistan, but across the border in Pakistan, the US president has dramatically stepped up the covert war against Islamic extremists.

James Pinkerton is always worth reading, but I think he’s stretching a bit when he offers “ Four Reasons Why Obama’s on a Roll .” He cites the spending freeze: “The freeze demonstrated that Obama has at least some independence from Congressional Democrats. And so we can see at least the glimmers of Bill Clinton-style “triangulation.” And Clinton, of course, was a two-termer.” Yeah, but Clinton’s triangulation involved at least a few heavy-duty policy concessions, most notably welfare reform and free trade agreements.
