Could it be that Glenn Beck has a point?
"In fact, you know, one of the big people that was really outspoken on reconciliation, said it was a really big mistake, especially using it for health care, you can't use the 50-plus-one option and still govern. That person was Barack Obama."
Then Beck played a clip of Obama:
"...my mood about Iraq could variously be described as depressed, despairing, despondent, dejected, pessimistic, melancholic, and gloomy.
In his response to my "Reply to Unz," Ron Unz gets one thing right, a bunch of things wrong, and simply ignores the most damning part of my reply.
(1) He begins by complaining that I argue "at great length [!] that federal inmates should be included in the incarceration estimate."
Juan Cole notes that the president of the Iranian de facto police state has proclaimed the 9/11 attacks were a "big lie", joining the ranks of the Truthers. Quote:
"September 11 was a big lie and a pretext for the war on terror and a prelude to invading Afghanistan," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by state TV. He called the attacks a "complicated intelligence scenario and act."
"Success has many fathers while failure is an orphan."
Or something like that. It looks like there is a growing number of parentless Obama White House aides, both current and former. Rahm Emanuel is looking more and more beleaguered, despite Dana Milbank's best efforts to rehabilitate him. The NYT:
It was astonishingly difficult, but my first novel is now up at Amazon for the Kindle. Due to my "social networking", I've managed to generate about 50 hits on the page since launch (this, too, is by no means as easy as blogsites claim), but these have only resulted in a sale or two. I've been advised that this is due to the fact that when people get there, there have been no reviews to read.
Feels like spring and Monday can't change that.
Then he took the thread, gave it to his disciples and said, 'Take this, all of you, and post.'
Daniel Henninger's article in WSJ's Opinion page titled: "Bring Back the Robber Barons"
Let's bring back the robber barons...I say, bring 'em back, and the sooner the better....
That's a odd start, but go on.
John Hawkins has five ugly truths, and they are:
(1) Entitlements must be cut.
(2) Our military is going to weaken.
(3) Taxes are going up.
(4) Economic growth is going to stagnate.
(5) We will have a world where the United States isn't a super power.
I take issue on #5, because I think we'll have a world where the US isn't the only super power. The first four sound about right.
