Dereliction of Duty

So, the Middle East is spiraling into chaos (what else is new?), a repeat of the 1970's mess is threatening to repeat itself, and what's our beloved President doing?

Watching basketball and attending a party.

Of course, as some folks pointed out, you wouldn't know it from watching the mass-media channels, but it's like the liberals just plum forget about the existence of the Internet... As of this writing, the story is all over the blogosphere (the original Fox News report has 21,000 related articles according to Google). Stunning silence from NYC / ABC / MSNBC / CNN in 5... 4... 3...

Not everyone is silent, however. Liberal Propaganda Matters is already "on the case" with their usual well-thought-out, carefully balanced, non-partisan defense of the President's actions.

...but then again, what else can we expect from a President who didn't even respond to the Gulf Oil crisis for 9 days? Apparently, golfing vacations take precedence over, um, IDK, doing your job?

Target & Crosshairs: For Left-Wing Use ONLY

So folks on the left go completely apeshit over a SarahPAC map using symbols that could be / look like / somewhat resemble / maybe-possibly-nobody-knows-for-sure have something in common with target symbols, and she's the root of all evil & the cause of the latest deep freeze & the AIDS pandemic... also, she ran over your dog. Or something.

Yet when Chris Matthews uses an obvious target symbol, complete with cross-hairs added for emphasis, and the tagline "Fire On" - everyone just loses their powers of speech.

Nope, there's no media bias whatsoever.

...and we're back!

After a prolonged absence, we're picking up posting on this blog again.

Please, keep the applause down, we don't want to wake the neighbors. Thanks.

Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

Chris Smith pointed out that it's just a little "strange" that the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner (Obama) just hosted a lavish state dinner for the president of the country that's holding the 2010 Nobel Peace prize winner as a political prisoner.

Oh, such interesting times we live in...
