SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 10:46 P.M. ET:

THE OBAMA BLUES CONTINUE – The bad polling results keep coming in for President Obama.  Now Gallup tells us his approval rating is back down in the 30s, at 39% to be exact.  Disapproval is at 53%.  There doesn't appear to be anything on the horizon to improve these numbers.  We await tomorrow's jobs report.

DENMARK UPDATE – We reported this morning that staunch American ally Denmark was holding an election day, likely to result in the ouster of the pro-American center-right coalition, and its replacement by the "red bloc," left-leaning parties who can move the country to port.  That has now happened.   Although the margin is narrow, the "red bloc" has wond, and is pledging, Obama style, to fundamentally remake Denmark.  As several readers pointed out in e-mails today, we give the Danish people 18 months to start feeling buyer's remorse.

WILL HE BE BURNED AT THE STAKE? – And will Al Gore light the match?  In a stunning defeat for the Church of the Global Warming, American physicist Ivar Giaever, winner of the 1973 Nobel Prize in physics, has resigned in disgust from the American Physical Society, the premier physics group in the U.S., because the group stated that the arguments for global warming were "incontrovertible."  That word is rarely used in science because the purpose of science is to question, and to demand proof and observation.  Somehow, a number of members of the Church of the Global Warning have forgotten those standards.  Dr. Giaver will undoubtedly now be subjected to the usual Soviet-style claim of the warmists that he is insane or corrupt.

THE KID THREAT – In Britain, teachers are branding thousands of children either racist or homophobic as a result of playground disputes.  More than 20,000 children under the age of 11 were put on record last year for hate crimes.  These records are passed up the educational line and can affect a child's college education or even future employment.  Those school officers who do not report hate crimes are often placed into the files themselves for "underreporting."  The Britain that defeated the Nazi Luftwaffe is now at war with its own children.
