Wireless competition continues to grow, as Cricket edges closer to 4G LTE . I’m losing track of how many 4G providers we’re starting to rack up

Well.

While being grilled by co-host Ann Curry on Wednesday's NBC Today on Arizona's illegal immigration law causing racial discrimination, Governor Jan Brewer hit back and declared: “I believe truly that the media and others have tried to throw out that race card to shut down the debate. It's not about that. It's about illegal immigration.” Audio available here Earlier, Curry fretted: “Now what would justify such a law that required people, essentially, to carry papers, identification, something that proved that they're American citizens?” Brewer replied: “…it's under reasonable suspicion, it's no different than what law enforcement actually does today….So it's a simple issue, and the press, the liberal media tried to blow that completely totally out of perspective.” View video after the jump Curry pressed Brewer on whether police in Arizona would racially profile: “You say the people in Arizona are not racist or bigots

There they go again. The American left, caught in the act of brandishing their electronic rope for yet another conservative black man, is busy dodging their long and horrendous history of racism

The Obama administration is having a difficult time explaining the unemployment rate, which has been above 9 percent for 27 consecutive months and is today 1.3 percentage points higher than it was when Obama took office. The October numbers, due to be released on Friday, are unlikely to look any better. So, his administration goes to great lengths to spin its own unique set of facts.

In a Friday bad-news dump that was a whopper even by its own standards, the Obama administration added to the announcement of a near-record annual deficit and an escalation of undeclared war in Uganda the news that the CLASS Act, an ill-conceived adjunct of the Affordable Care Act, is no more. The upshot is this: Obamacare just got a whole lot more expensive than advertised, and there is reason to believe that its Democratic architects have long known this would happen

**Written by Doug Powers Vice President Joe Biden spent some time in Florida talking to a class of 5th graders about the economy and his favorite three-letter word, jobs . In his discussion about the troubled economy, do you think Biden was forced to admit to the kids that the stimulus was a waste of a huge amount of money, “we have to spend money to keep from going bankrupt” is a ridiculous theory , “green jobs” is a disaster , and that trillions have been charged to their generation and beyond on the Sheriff’s watch alone? Nah, he just blamed Bush: “Because things got really bad before we came into office and an awful lot of companies said ‘there’s no more jobs for you here.’” Is that the same Biden who just last week took ownership of the economy on behalf of the administration

I’ve spilt many pixels writing about the constitutional challenges to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which are now nearly certain to end up in the just-commenced 2011–12 term of the Supreme Court.

In a 2008 debate, Charlie Gibson asked Barack Obama about his support for raising capital-gains taxes, given the historical record of government losing net revenue as a result.

Obama’s presidency lurches from fad to fad — from gays in the military to “green jobs” to the “Buffett rule.” Hyped as a profound presidency, it has turned out to be an embarrassingly frivolous one.

In an effort to highlight the need for the American Jobs Act , which would provide billions in new infrastructure funding, the president will deliver a speech within sight of a “functionally obsolete” bridge on the Ohio River. Though the president disavowed “political grandstanding” in an address to Congress earlier this month, even the communications staff at the White House could not deny the political motives behind the visit

(Photoshop via Doug Ross ) The last time I blogged about David Brooks’s bloviations, I opened by asking: “How much of a tool is New York Times columnist David Brooks?” Brooks answers the question himself in his latest column: I’m a sap, a specific kind of sap.

**Written by Doug Powers Privately, DC Democrats like Harry Reid know they need and even depend on the rich, but publicly they reject them like red-heads at Danish sperm banks. That is unless they’re like Warren Buffett and play along in the “wink wink, nudge nudge” sense.

From Michelle Malkin: The eggheads who gave us Obamacare, still drowning in the delusion that their problem is p.r. and not policy, have cooked up a cure for the nation’s continuing health care ills: A comic book! Yes, if only we morons were able to digest the 2,000-page monstrosity with colored pictures and bigger font, [...]

From Michelle Malkin: According to an article by John Heileman in New York Magazine, President Obama hasn’t conferred with some half dozen cabinet members — that’s two years for those keeping score at home. But hey, when you’re this smart, why consult with anybody? Obviously there have been the group cabinet meetings, but we’re talking either picking up the [...]

From Telegraph.co.uk: Barack Obama’s family holiday in Hawaii is reportedly costing at least $1.5 million (£1 million) as mainland America is battered by storms. The calculation of Mr Obama’s holiday costs included $63,000 for his wife’s early flight out, and $16,800 to house Secret Service agents and Navy Seals in beach front accommodation for two [...]

From Michelle Malkin: Yesterday, the New York Times, as a Christmas gift to those of us who enjoy laughing until pumpkin pie and egg nog shoots out our noses, published a piece about how President Obama has a natural penchant for humility: “I think it speaks volumes about the man’s temperament,” said Robert Dallek, the presidential [...]

From Right Wing News: America has soundly rejected his malignant agenda, but Comrade Obama can console himself with the knowledge that he remains popular behind the Bamboo Curtain. Americans may have fallen out of love with Barack Obama, but the president of the United States is still an object of affection for the Chinese, who have [...]

From Telegraph.co.uk: The president, who is scheduled to set off on a twice-postponed Asian tour with his wife Michelle after next week’s midterms, has reportedly block-booked all 570 rooms in the Taj Mahal hotel as a security measure. On top of that, US navy ships will also be deployed, as the president is staying in [...]
