Hopelessly Changing Round Up

• Obama brought change alright. Change to Joe Biden who has done a 180′ on the Filibuster.
• Obama wants to bring change to the TSA. The nominee to head the TSA, Errol Southers thinks terrorism is a problem that deserves some parity with global warming and education. The Democrats argument that this guys nomination somehow allowed the underwear bomber to almost blow up a plane doesn’t seem plausible.
• Despite all of the outrage and fingerpointing at Wall Street crimes as the real source of the financial crisis, the Justice Department isn’t having any luck finding instance true major fraud on Wall Street. This isn’t to say there haven’t been some legal albeit unethical things happening on Wall Street, or some clever crooks are hiding their misdeeds, but it suggests that criminal activity may not be as widespread as critics allege. Those looking for the real criminals will find them hanging out around the Capitol.
• Meanwhile, a Michigan another rematch from 2008, looks like it might go the GOP’s way this time. Former Congressman Tim Walberg (R-Mi.) leads Rep. Mark Schauer (D-Mi.), who inched him out last time, by a 9 point margin.  Walberg’s a warrior who has fought hard going back to his 2006 primary victory that propelled him to the House.  Here’s hoping 2010 is when he gets to stay a while in Congress. (Hat Tip: Red State.)
• Prayers for Malaysia where Christians continue to attend church despite attacks.
• By now, most people have heard how Pat Robertson said that the Earthquake that hit Haiti hit as a result of Haiti’s deal with the devil. The problem? Robertson didn’t actually say that. Bryan Fischer has an incisive piece on the topic that I reccomend. While Fischer acknolwedges that what Robertson did really say was “insensitive and lacking in Christian compassion.” It wasn’t what everyone said Robertson said. Fischer’s piece is a reminder of how few of the media narratives that get played up have a firm relationships to the truth, and rather are based on people who don’t know what they’re talking about repeating what other people who don’t know what they’re talking about said. This is made particularly easy because Robertson has a history of making dumb statements that feed into the narrative. 
• And here’s your politically incorrect thought of the day: Through Operation Blessing, Pat Robertson has done more good for Black people living in the third world than Barack Obama

Finally this video comes from Little Rock:

Mike Huckabee showing up for the March for Life in Little Rock. Whatever one wants to say about Huckabee, I give him credit as one of the few political leaders who will show up for the March for Life when there’s no political benefit for them doing so.
