Morning Intell:: Friday October 30, 2009

• IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF JOE BIDEN’S WAR? U.S. Covert Operations Buildup in Pakistan Anger Citizens
  LBG looks at the concerns in local Pakistani papers and blogs about the build-up in Pakistan of US covert forces. Among the items of concern are US nationals dressed as Taliban who’ve been caught at the Pakistani border recently.

  Or, is all this build-up just a likely bid to make sure that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons don’t fall into the wrong hands if the Pakistan government would collapse, as one reader at Free Republic suggested? If so, then why so many U.S. guys dressed as Afghans?

• THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER LAUNCHES ANOTHER WAR: Obama declares war on the AP.
  After examining the White House’s angry reaction to an AP story, Don Surber notes: “Please notice, he rebutted nothing. AP told the truth. He is angry about that.”

• BREAKING: Comprehensive List of Taxes In House Democrat Health Bill . To those that get off on more taxes, this is pornography.
• CALL: 212-450-2000.
  This is NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s phone number. Just in case anyone ever thought about calling him and letting him know his Rush Limbaugh comments made them think about how much they like a non-political NFL. An NFL where a conservative can get an honest break.

• DOES THAT MAKE MEDIA MATTERS AN ACCESSORY? Shot Fired Into Home of Lou Dobbs of CNN!.
  Every time a right fringe-nut goes over the top, every written word of conservatives are brought up as Exhibit A for “hate speech”. Someone fires a shot into Lou Dobbs’ home, and it’s the Silence of the Crickets on the Left. MORE: NJ Police Report: Reports like Lou Dobbs’ not uncommon in Hunting Season.

• HOFFMENTUM: In shift, GOP leaders embrace Hoffman.
  The Dems are concentrating their attack ads on Doug Hoffman in NY 23 and ignoring the Republican challenger, Dede Scozzafava.

• OUCH! Orly Taitz Smacked down: Birther Lawsuit Dismissed.
  These suits will continue until the President releases his vault birth certificate. It might help the president if he released a few of his other–college and medical–records also. [Who is Barack Obama?]

• USEFUL TOOL: Sarah Palin Fires Back at Levi Johnston: Johnston Useful Tool for Sarah Foes
  Levi Johnston is proof that a tool doesn’t have to be sharp to be useful–to someone. Lot of good and funny comments on this story at Free Republic.

• NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR MOM: Chris Christie: Man, am I fat.

  Allahpundit: “I couldn’t agree more with Cavuto: This is a brilliant piece of retail politics, turning Corzine’s lame digs at his weight into a high-profile opportunity to charm voters. The tone is exactly right and the jokes are actually funny, and he makes sure to remind viewers of how tiny Corzine’s balls are in refusing to take responsibility for the cheap shots he’s been taking.”

• CONAN O’BRIEN:
  “In Florida, a Home Depot employee was fired after he was spotted wearing a button that read “One Nation Under God.” It’s being called a landmark case because it’s the first time someone’s ever gone into a Home Depot and actually spotted an employee.”

  Laura Ingraham: “Under the Senate Finance Committee bill, HHS Secretary Kathleen will determine the meaning of terms such as “physician services,” “premium,” “prescription drug coverage,” “deductible,” and “emergency room care.”"

• APPRECIATION: Flowers for Our Great Lady Sent by the Tea Party Movement [via VotingFemale Speaks
  

  For several years, I sang my original, “Celebrate America” at monthly U.S. Immigration Citizenship Ceremonies in Maryland. I took great pride in the knowledge that mine was the first song the approximate 1000 applicants heard as new American citizens after taking their long dreamed of, oath of allegiance. Each ceremony was an emotional event of great celebration.

  The post, like ones written by the author that have been seen on American Thinker, is signed "Lloyd Marcus, (black) Unhyphenated American!"
  When hyphens are an interesting descriptive, they may serve a purpose. When hyphens are a necessary prop to someone's self-esteem, then they are not only unnecessary, it's time for them to go. It was always was encouraging to see that no hyphen was needed by Mr. Lloyd.

• PLAYING THE EMO CARD: Alan Grayson breaks down — or rather, simulates it.
  Busted.

• REMINDER: It's Halloween Eve. Since Halloween means "All Hallows Eve", it's really All Hallows Eve Eve. Readers don't have to turn their clocks back or anything.
• COACH! Coachep: An aggragator by "...a Southern California resident who is tired of being taxed to death." S/he's not alone.
• JAY LENO: "The latest on the Northwest pilots who overshot their destination is federal regulators have revoked their pilot licenses. They determined they acted far too "carelessly and recklessly" to transport passengers. And today Amtrak said, "We'll hire them.""
• END OF DAYS: OCTO-MOM & JON. What the world's been waiting for.
  Enquirer: "Reports of a Jon Gosselin- Octo-Mom dating show have arisen meaning the end of the world as we know it!"
