Here’s another great one from the queen of wingnut hypocrites, Michelle Malkin:

That’s in a post she did on AttackWatch, a new site launched by Obama for America to track smears.

So exactly what cookies are they using? Well they actually have quiet a few, which is common for most sites, but the biggest tracking cookie I saw comes from Google Analytics. That is also verified by looking at the source code on AttackWatch’s page:

<script type="text/javascript">var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-30908-26']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script');
 ga.type = 'text/javascript';
 ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);})();

</script>

That right loads in the the tracking code from the Google Analytic service. This is a very popular service used by site owners to get ideas of how many visitors they have and even what pages are popular. I even use it on this page, as does Malkin herself:

<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">

</script>

<script type="text/javascript">

_uacct = "UA-2595414-1";

urchinTracker();

</script>

Something going around Facebook right now really got me thinking:

Entitlement? I PAID cash for Social Security insurance! Our benefits aren’t charity or a handout! Congressional benefits—premium federal health care, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days—now THAT’S welfare! And they have the nerve to call retirement an entitlement! Repost if you are sick of their crap.

In all this talk of government cuts, have we once heard anyone in Congress say "hey - maybe we should cut congressional pay"? How about cutting staffs or perks while we are at it? The answer is no!

And the more I thought about this, the more my blood would boil. I finally decided to compare the average salaries of workers to the salaries of our members of Congress. In doing so, I created the following graph:

(Data sources: Wikipedia and SSA)

While Americans struggle to pay the bills and feed their families, members of Congress continue to live the good life. They receive a salary most of us can only dream of and benefits many of us would kill for.

Weasel Zippers has this headline up:

Obama: My “Deepest Condolences” to Joplin Tornado Victims, Now Watch Me Drink This Beer!…

And it is followed by this picture:

Even the commenters are chiming in:

But Bush would never do that - would he?

That would be then President Bush strumming along the day after hurricane Katrina wiped out New Orleans and while the whole Gulf region was still in disarray, thousands were trapped and people were still dying. But just ask the wingnuts - this never happened!

This week the Blogger Platform suffered an outage that lasted over 24 hours. Blogger, which is owned by Google, is a very popular and free platform for publishing blogs. This outage affected nearly all of the blogs hosted on Blogger, but that didn't stop the right from springing into conspiracy mode. Here's RedState blogger Moe Lane:

Well, isn’t this interesting: apparently Blogger/Google has decided to remove Ann Althouse’s blog. They’re also being neither particularly helpful in either explaining why, nor sounding particularly sympathetic that it’s been taken down, either.

Wonder if this has anything to do with Ann’s objective (and thus, anti-administration) coverage of the Wisconsin protests? I certainly hope that it has nothing to do with that…

Ann Althouse quoted Moe's post and even added this tidbit:

Back in 2004, 98% of Google employees gave money to Democrats.
