Maybe we should call this The Cornucopia Report this week.  The deluge of astonishingly good news keeps pouring down, with the moonbat left in response drowning in its own bile of rage and going off the cliff berserk-o. Where to begin amidst this treasure trove?  Of course:  the Million Conservative March on Washington last Saturday (9/12).  With the LFM (Lunatic Fringe Media) desperately ignoring and disparaging it - reporting, e.g., that there were only "tens of thousands" when there were at least close to a million or more - this event marks a genuine turning point in American political history. The only other event comparable was the August 28,1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom which launched the modern civil rights movement and at which Dr. Martin Luther King gave his famous "I Have A Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial. There was, however, one major lack and disappointment.  Everyone remembers (or learns about in school) that 1963 event because of King's speech.  Where was our Dr. King?  Where was the speech that the vast multitude of conservatives wanted to hear?  In other words, where the hell was Sarah Palin? If there's a parade of history, get out in front and lead it - or the parade and history will pass you by.  Carpe diem - or your day will be gone.  Sarah had better stop hiding from the world, stop confining herself to posts on Facebook, or this Teaparty Juggernaut will quickly find other leaders.  It's not too late, Sarah, but you are burning daylight.

Sarah Palin was wrong when she said the provision for end of life counseling in the health care reform bills pending in Congress is a first step toward government "death panels" which will decide who gets expensive medical care and who doesn't. The death panels -- there are two of them -- already have been voted into law as part of the stimulus bill Congress passed in February.  President Obama has appointed members to them, and they have been funded to the tune of $20.6 billion. The death panels are not, of course, called death panels.  They are the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research (hereinafter "Federal Council"), which will set policy, and the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (hereinafter "Coordinator"), who will enforce it. The stimulus bill - Obama's "American Recovery & Reinvestment Act" of $787 billion - authorizes $1.1 billion for the Federal Council and $19.5 billion for the Coordinator.

Democrats in the House of Representatives demanded a formal disapproval of Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) for shouting "You Lie!" during President Obama's address to a joint session of Congress Sept. 9.  Mr. Wilson's outburst came after the president said illegal immigrants were not included in his health care plan. They got it yesterday (9/15) by a vote of 240-179, with 233 Democrats and only 7 Republicans voting for "a resolution of disapproval" of their colleague.  Big mistake.  President Obama accepted Rep. Wilson's apology.  If the Democrat leadership in the House had any brains, they'd have done the same.  Pursuing this vendetta can only hurt them, for two reasons. The first and foremost reason is because the president was lying in his speech to Congress, as the White House all but acknowledged when last Friday (9/11) it issued a "clarification" of what the president said two days earlier.

Do you think your tax dollars should be used to help those who want to open a house of prostitution and illegally bring underage girls into the United States as "sex workers"?   As you may have seen on Fox News over the last few days, the taxpayer-funded ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) has been doing just that. Who exposed this latest bit of corruption at ACORN?  The FBI? The local police? A congressional investigating committee? The mainstream media? No, no, no, and no. It was a 20-year-old college student named Hannah Giles and a 25-year-old law student and investigative journalist named James O'Keefe. I first met Ms. Giles almost a year ago in her home town of Miami. Through mutual friends, she had contacted me to see if I could help her get an internship with a policy group in Washington.

It is certainly and abundantly clear who is the HFR Hero of the Week this week: Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina.  Finally, a Republican in Congress who embodies speaking truth to power.  "You lie!" now takes its place in history along with "death panels" demonstrating the politically castrative power of two simple words.  Sarah Palin's two words were a brilliantly limbic deligitimization of Zero's key program.  Joe Wilson's two words were an emotional outburst that will deligitimize Zero's entire presidency. Wilson is who all conservatives long for, a Republican with balls.  The species is almost extinct.  The chief of staff of a prominent Republican Congressman confirmed to me this morning that the GOP House leadership, Minority Leader John Boehner and Minority Whip Eric Cantor, demanded Wilson make a formal apology on the House floor - and that Wilson refused. When the chief of staff started defending Cantor and blaming Wilson, I lost my temper.  "When are you guys ever going to acquire a set of gonads?  When are your brains ever going to be connected to your spines?  Wilson is now a flat-out hero to millions!  There will be You lie! signs throughout the 50,000 TeaParty marchers on the Mall tomorrow, You lie! bumper stickers on cars in every state, shouts of You lie! at every Town Hall held by a Democrat - or RINO.  People are sick and tired of pussy wimp-out Republican limp dicks!  When are you guys going to figure this out?!" I don't know if he'll speak to me again. I've known him for years, but frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
