Random Stuff
Just spent about three days away from the news and the internet, and am surprised by how little I missed both. I guess my near-burnout was worse than I thought. Some random thoughts and observations:
"God help the people of Iran. We sure won't." Truer words were never spoken. President Obama's campaign rhetoric made it clear he valued diplomacy above all else. Unfortunately, he didn't mention that in his view 'diplomacy' meant 'feckless cowardice in the face of sheer injustice.' The winner? Jimmy Carter, who's finally gotten his second term.
The most heartwarming 'old lady pulls a gun on home intruder' story you'll read all week.
Memo to ABC: it was clear you were already in the tank. There was no reason to double down. Oh, and you could have made the connection a little less obvious, thanks.
Geoff at Innocent Bystanders makes the big time. If you haven't yet seen it, check out his chart on unemployment. If you judge the success of the stimulus based upon the administration's own predictions on unemployment, the results aren't pretty.
CBO: ObamaCare would be something less than successful.
Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart are now 22-25% less cool.
