Time to flip-flop on the status of Jerusalem after Wednesday's speech to AIPAC was criticized by the left-wingers who control today's Democratic Party? Approximately 24 hours. I'd be much more impressed if he told AIPAC he was going to split Jerusalem or CNN it would remain undivided, but that would require Obama to lower the pander quotient. Someone's going to be disappointed come January.

The headline is "Actress has a crush on Obama", but given that the senator is repeatedly writing lengthy e-mails to a high-school graduate half his age, perhaps it buries the lede that Obama has a crush on an actress?

Johansson is somewhat shocked that he keeps up their back-and-forth correspondence. “You’d imagine that someone like the senator who is constantly traveling and constantly ‘on’ — how can he return these personal e-mails?” she asks.

(Separately, I question the accuracy of this website, but, hey, it's on the Internet, so it must be true.)

(And welcome Kausfiles readers.)

Earlier on Obama.

Update: Obama denies.

Yes, the five seconds they quoted me didn't leave them time to flash my name on the screen. They left my name off. As well as any supporting detail to show that this wasn't just ipse dixit. But they did have music and flashy graphics. This is why I don't watch tv news.
