Here is a video I have never seen before, of the second plane hitting the World Trade Center on 9/11. In recent days my comment threads have been packed with lefties saying we’re all overreacting to terrorism. I figure a little reminder now and then can’t hurt. (Via Ace, whose commenters are debating whether the video is real. Looks real to me . . .)

All the Democrats’ dithering over Alito made his confirmation recent news at the SOTU, leading to this photo.

P.S. I am often annoyed by Dana Milbank, but enjoyed this story about the Justices’ clapping patterns at the speech.
