330-338 – Mike Flynn, is Editor-in-Chief of BigGovernment.com, with twenty years of experience in policy development, legislative affairs, media relations, political campaigns and crisis communication. He's testified often before the U.S. Congress and before at least two-dozen state legislatures. We talk about the explosive presence of Andrew Breitbart's three websites: breitbart.com, biggovernment.com, and bighollywood.com, breaking such stories as the ACORN videos and the NEA conference call with the White House.
• Breitbart (9/23/09) How the ACORN 'pimp and hooker' videos came to be.
Breitbart said he learned of O'Keefe's work from Maura Flynn—the wife of biggovernment.com editor-in-chief Mike Flynn, and an assistant producer of the 2004 film "Michael Moore Hates America."
Breitbart said that on Aug. 7, he greeted O'Keefe at his Los Angeles home, went into his basement office and watched the Baltimore footage on O'Keefe's laptop. He wanted to see more.
After O'Keefe sent the Washington and San Bernardino videos, Breitbart concluded it was a natural fit to launch his new site.
Now, biggovernment.com is a go-to Web site for political junkies, O'Keefe is under contract there—and ACORN, long a resilient target of many conservatives, is wobbling.
• WSJ (9/25/09) Gore-Backed Car Firm Gets Large U.S. Loan.
WASHINGTON -- A tiny car company backed by former Vice President Al Gore has just gotten a $529 million U.S. government loan to help build a hybrid sports car in Finland that will sell for about $89,000.
The award this week to California startup Fisker Automotive Inc. follows a $465 million government loan to Tesla Motors Inc., purveyors of a $109,000 British-built electric Roadster. Tesla is a California startup focusing on all-electric vehicles, with a number of celebrity endorsements that is backed by investors that have contributed to Democratic campaigns.
The awards to Fisker and Tesla have prompted concern from companies that have had their bids for loans rejected, and criticism from groups that question why vehicles aimed at the wealthiest customers are getting loans subsidized by taxpayers.

• Michelle Malkin (9/25/09) The Three R's in the Age of Obama: Rappin', Revolution and Radicalism.
When the White House announced plans for the president's nationwide address to schoolchildren two weeks ago, worried parents were dismissed as "kooks." We pointed to the subtext of "social justice" activism rampant in American classrooms. It's time for a big fat Told You So.
Out of the spotlight, politicized lessons continue to supplant core academics.
Earlier this year, at the B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington Township, N.J., schoolchildren were instructed to memorize a paean to Barack Obama. A video uploaded to the YouTube account of Charisse Carney-Nunes, author of the children's book "I Am Barack Obama" and a self-described Harvard Law "schoolmate" of the president's, showed students lined up in the auditorium snapping their fingers and chanting in unison: [lyrics].
// Lost in all the chanting for change is the core commitment to impart actual knowledge. For progressives in the Age of Obama, setting high academic standards is secondary to the self-improvement of the "whole child" and "service" to the cause of social justice. Out: readin', writin' and 'rithmetic. In: rappin', revolution and radicalism. Mmm, mmm, mmm.
(:52) Obama Praise 1. (B. Bernice Young Elementary School @ 6/19/09). "Mm, mmm, mm! Barack Hussein Obama; He said that all must lend a hand to make this country strong again; He said we must be fair today Equal work means equal pay; He said that we must take a stand to make sure everyone gets a chance; He said red, yellow, black or white all are equal in his sight, Yes! Mmm, mmm, mm, Barack Hussein Obama!"
(1:00) Obama Praise 2. "Hello, Mr. President we honor you today! For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say "hooray!" Hooray, Mr. President! You're number one!
