Buffoonery: the colonel as potentate

Why did anyone take Daffy Duck seriously? Because of all the oil, of course.

UPDATE:  And the money, don’t forget the money. Like the Saudis he throws it around. Eh, Mariah Carey?

Burning Korans

I couldn’t care less how many Korans that nitwit pastor in Florida burns. The question I want answered is why have the media and the politicians turned the guy into a celebrity? Are they all in the employ of the oil ticks?

Or, as Thomas Sowell says, has moral preening become their way of life? As he points out you really have to be a modern intellectual to miss the obvious in the proposed mosque at Ground Zero: It is a 15-story middle finger to the country.

Back to business-as-usual

B. Hussein Obama has assured the oil ticks that Bush’s (admittedly half-hearted) push for liberty in the Middle East is a thing of the past. Geez. Eight years wasn’t very long. Bad Bill will make lots more foreign speaking money now, and Jimmy Carter will be a power once again, certifying phony democratic elections. Well, it IS change. But hope? Not at all.

UPDATE: And worse: "Obama didn’t call for the release of the tens of thousands of political prisoners held in more than two dozen Muslim countries or a moratorium on executions that each year cost the lives of hundreds of dissidents." Instead, he praised the Carter years, the years of America’s strategic retreat. Bad road ahead.
