“Things I‘d Like To Post About Today; But I Don’t Have Any Time For (4)”:

• From NewsBusters’ Warner Todd Huston — “Christiane Amanpour: Post Nam Cambodian Genocide Just Like U.S. ‘Waterboarding’ Today?” Yeah, right.
  
• As General Petraeus’s latest round of testimony begins this week in Washington, here’s a story from late last week — “Pelosi warns Petraeus on Iraq testimony.” I think she’s saying she would prefer perjury over truthful good news. Related: “No, Sadr Did Not Win.”
• This one from Michelle Malkin might be seen as a bit of a conflicted link, but I don’t care; “The left-wing mortgage counseling racket” — It is a racket, and to the extent the money these government trough-feeding orgs actually spend money on counseling (very questionable in certain instances), it does crowd out private sector for-profit and not-for-profit providers.
• From Patterico last week– (my title) “LA Times Caught Using Forged Documents, Criticized by Mary Mapes” (of Rathergate infamy, for those who don’t recall)
• From the New York Post on April 3 — “Barack’s a Lost Cause: Hill”
• Gizmodo — “Ars: iTunes #1 Music Retailer in January (Debunkers Be Hanged)”
• I do think everyone needs to know that the presidential candidate I refer to as BOOHOO (Barack O-bomba Overseas Hussein “Obambi” Obama) said this last week — “Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old,” Obama said. “I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn’t make sense to not give them information.” Interpret freely.
• Red State — “ABC’s Jake Tapper caught Obama smoking, and lying about it.”
