And don’t miss me today on The Ed Morrissey Show, which airs at 3PM EST. I’ll be on at the half with Tommy Christopher.

The left and the press (but I repeat myself) are falling all over each other in their haste to congratulate Obama and his manly response to the pirates. A retch-worthy visit to the comments section of left blogs reveals revolting mission-accomplished-gasms and endless reposts of photo fakes featuring Obama being cool or hip with the words “I Got This” adoringly emblazoned upon the savior of the West. To say the fawning adoration is grotesque would be a dramatic understatement and an insult to the merely grotesque.

There is little surprise in adoring Obamatons rewriting the story to evoke a man of action yelling “Charge!” After all, we’re in the midst of an “overseas contingency operation” and this hostage taking was a “man-caused disaster”. So it makes perfect sense to change Obama voting “present” into “come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?” That’s how newspeak works. It’s not reality, however.

BETA – This is the live Beta version of the ActiCons.com website. Activist Conservatism Online is sorely lacking. We can only transform that by simply getting out here and doing the work. This site will feature activism projects, blogs, video, and graphics made by and for conservatives who are activists on the internet, and hope to turn their work into real world results. Stand by for more information.

Tuesday morning. The weather was frigid, the sky dark, as I drove my sub-sub-sub-compact rental into Vienna, Virginia, there to catch the Metro into Washington, DC, for the inauguration of Barack Obama. I hate those little cars. I’m tall and not exactly thin, so the combination of compressed spine and the lubricant necessary to squeeze in make an unpleasant experience. But hey, I saved like 11 cents on gas for the week. I’ve done my part to aid, or halt, global warming (I was too frozen to recall which we are supposed to root for on that score.) In my head I kept running down the list: video cameras, check; still camera, check; batteries, check; t-shirt depicting Obama as Jim Carrey’s character in the movie Liar Liar, check. Ready for battle.

The Vienna station was crushed with people. Parking lot so full of Obama paraphernalia, those obnoxious “Coexist” bumper stickers, and people with hair of unnatural colors that I wasn’t sure if it was the line to the inauguration or some kind of ‘-apalooza’ appended event. Silly me … it was both of course.
