Point and Counterpoint
The blogosphere is abuzz with President Obama’s comment, comparing his bowling ability to a Special Olympics level, on Jay Leno last night. More noise than light, I rather think. As in everybody loves to use whatever ammo they can find for their own political purposes.
But I heard the comment on the show and at the [...]

Just So You Know

The Canadian Human Rights Commission dismissed a hate speech complaint against Maclean’s magazine on Friday in a decision the complainants blamed on “inappropriate political pressure.”

April Fool’s?
Apparently I’m not as in the loop on things as I thought as this just made it my way: Admiral Selection List
As always, some quality leaders seem to have made it, some politicians made it, and some downright heinous choices seem to have been made.

Saturday Funny (Unless You Are a Car Buff)
Sent by a friend this week:
To my darling husband,

IVAW Tries the Memory Hole Bit…
It doesn’t work.
About two months ago, I wrote this:
I’ve read passing references to these vile plans for awhile, and like some half-remembered bad dream I’ve tried to ignore them, maybe hoping IVAW wasn’t really planning what headlines implied. But today John linked them and I finally read their website. Until that point, I’d thought “Winter [...]
