Whole Bunch of Stuff From Instapundit

Instapundit's page is currently a massive data download of all sorts of important stuff.

I'll never get to half of this, so I'm just going to link it and suggest you at least read the excerpts there.

On workforce participation, and Obama's Miserable Failure at even mentioning the unemployed.

Green Energy (that is, not energy) vs. Brown Energy (that is, actual energy) and Obama's problem in championing the imaginary over the real.

Klavan and Drudge disagree with Krugman that there is "nothing to see here." By the way, click on Drudge's site to see a Flood the Zone 40-point-slammer download on the "bleak" jobs report.

Workforce smaller than at any time since 1981. Previously, the workforce had been smaller than at any point since 1982, but as Obama says, "We're not done yet."

Also, for those of you advocating a more forward-leaning assault on Obama, bear in mind, Romney's plan is to convince disappointed Obama voters to pull the lever for himself, and a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

You may want to just tell these people they're dumb but they don't want to hear that, and will stop listening to you if you say that.

I like Eastwood's formulation that this is the "greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people" and that we've had "the wool pulled over his eyes."

Years ago now, I think, I wrote that people are very, very reluctant to find fault with themselves. If you insist they confess they made bad errors, they will refuse, and begin justifying those errors.

However, if you can give them a scapegoat, they may agree with you. "You made a very bad choice in voting for Obama" is hard for them to hear. But Obama misrepresented himself and swindled you will go down easier -- in that formulation, Obama's the bad guy.

Now, actually, Romney isn't doing that, either. I think he should.
