Fiddling while Rome burns

Posted on November 13, 2008 | Comments Off on Fiddling while Rome burns

Amusing little article here in Columbia Journalism Review followed by even more amusing comments.

The top half of the comments are the usual remarks from the usual crowd of Big Media players or wannabees, fiddling around as though nothing much is happening to the craft other than a vexing problem of layoffs and declining profits. The bottom half is the angry audience, lured to the site by Instapundit. They are burning (and sometimes a little shrill) to let the fiddlers know that their Barrymania is going to lead to far more losses. Indeed, it may be too late to turn it around even if the fiddlers were inclined to play a new, objective tune. Assuming they still have the chops for objectivity, which is doubtful.

UPDATE: Indeed, the lickspittle reporting continues, as Iraq suicide bombings become "progress" on Barry’s watch.

Go Sarah go

Posted on November 11, 2008 | Comments Off on Go Sarah go

I would prefer to see her run for president in 2012, but this also makes a certain amount of sense.

Alhough it would be best  for her to ignore the alleged (always anonymous) insiders twisting the knife the pro-Barry Big Media put in her back, continue to be a good governor, add to her political accomplishments, write a bestselling memoir, and form a SarahPAC to raise money for conservative candidates in 2010.

Whatever the sixty-six million who voted for Barry think of her, we in the fifty-eight million who voted for Mac are impressed. And by 2012, at least nine million more could be well fed up with him.

Speaking of tar babies

Posted on November 10, 2008 | Comments Off on Speaking of tar babies

Jules Crittenden, in using the phrase "tar baby" to describe how the economy is likely to affect Barry’s manoeuvreability on other issues, feels the need to asterisk it and explain:

"* Tar baby: traditional American saying for something attractive that you grab and gets stuck all over you. Mistaken by morons in recent years for a racial pejorative."

Are we beyond all this tortured manipulation of language now, Br’er Rabbit, here in fabled Obamalot I mean, or has that much really changed?

Coercing children

Posted on November 9, 2008 | Comments Off on Coercing children

Barry’s apparent aim to force middle and high school students to do federally-supervised community service is still in the planning stages. The details continue to be left purposely vague, even to the extent of more of his campaign’s airbrushing of previous Web disclosures. I suppose it will be some form of selective service, minus the selective part. Unless some animals on the farm are to be more equal than others, as the old military draft worked it. Sounds so progressive, why, how could anyone complain? Only, you know, the lazy and the anti-social. Will the children get nice armbands, too?

No slack for Iran

Posted on November 7, 2008 | Comments Off on No slack for Iran

President-elect Barry backtracks a bit on Iran at his first news conference since the election:

"Iran’s development of a nuclear weapon I believe is unacceptable. And we have to mount a international effort to prevent that from happening. Iran’s support of terrorist organizations I think is something that has to cease."

No talk at all of welcoming the loudmouth Iranian dictator to the White House. But these are still early days.

MORE:  Barry’s apologizing already for a careless joke. That was fast.
