Meanwhile, in other news…

By Daniel Hannan:

Many alternative and herbal medicines disappeared from the shelves today. New EU rules have proscribed some remedies outright and subjected others to a prohibitively expensive testing regime. The BBC, in its tagline, unquestioningly described the Directive as “protecting consumers”. In fact, the ban has nothing to do with public health, and everything to do with corporate interests.

Tea Partier to MSNBCer: Media That Blame All Criticism of Obama on His Skin Color Are ‘Racers’

By Noel Sheppard:
You’ve heard of Birthers and Truthers.

Tea Partier and talk radio host Tony Katz on Thursday, while appearing on MSNBC News Live Contessa Brewer, called media members that blame all criticism of Barack Obama on the color of his skin “Racers” (video follows with transcript and commentary):

TONY KATZ, TEA PARTIER: This is Obama failing to do his job.

CONTESSA BREWER, MSNBC HOST: That’s what a lot of people are saying it’s not a laughing matter. They say that there are questions about him, not because there really are questions about where he is born, but because he is black. […]

KATZ: But this whole idea of race, you know what, if there are birthers and they’re all crazy and silly for actually wanting to see a birth certificate, well let’s talk about the racers, the people who believe that everything is a conspiracy about race. It’s Obama’s race that people want to see the birth certificate. It’s Obama’s race that people don’t like the out of control spending. It’s not his race. It’s that he’s awful. The policies are terrible. ObamaCare is a lie and a failure. QE1 and QE2 didn’t work. It’s crazy.

The monitors were to reassure Israel that weapons and militants wouldn’t get into Gaza after its pullout from the territory in the fall of 2005.

Time to Pull The Cloak of Invisibility Off Of Black Conservatives

By Lloyd Marcus:

CNN traveled with us on Tea Party Express, to approximately 40 rallies nationwide. I, a black conservative, opened each rally singing my “American Tea Party Anthem”. And yet, not I nor any of the other blacks on our team were seen in the CNN documentary; thus, causing viewers to conclude the Tea Party Movement is a “white thing.”

For the most part, the liberal media ignores black conservatives. And when they do interview one of us, it is from a, “Can you believe this stupid Uncle Tom,” point of view.

Unfortunately, conservative media and most tea party organizers do not seem to grasp the strategic wisdom in featuring and supporting black conservatives.

The Palestinian Authority: What Obama Is Missing

By Arlene Kushner:

Well-placed leaks within the last few days suggest that President Obama may be about to announce a proposal for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. One of the plan’s tenets is expected to be acceptance of the 1967 armistice line (the Green Line) as Israel’s final border.

A handful of recent events speak directly to the wisdom — or lack thereof — of such a proposal:
