President Obama wins Nobel Prize for Peace

I give up. The shallow "cult of personality" trumps substance again.

Mother Theresa and Martin Luther King must be rolling over in their graves.

This does answer the burning question....." Why did Obama keep telling McChrystal to delay his report about the need for more troops in Afghanistan?"

He didn't want the report to come out because he knew about this coming up. I don't even want to think about the way this delay may have impacted the battlefield.

It's all about the ego.

UPDATE:

Hey guess what? 5 Days after winning the Nobel Prize for Peace Obama is sending an "unannounced" 13,000 more troops to Afghanistan. Remember O said.." I had no idea I was even nominated!"

You can't make this stuff up.

What do you think the chances are that they'll pick up the phone if you have chest pain?

The IRS didn't answer some 22.4 million calls from taxpayers last year. And President Obama wants us to believe that government run health care is something that will "improve the health of all Americans".

Does President Obama think the entire American electorate is stupid? Yes, he absolutely does. In truth, he's basing most of his policy on just that premise.

The Appeasement President Kicks Tibet to the Curb

Obama has appeased Russia (Georgia), Iran (nukes), Palestine (Jewish settlements) and North Korea (what missiles?) while apologizing to anyone and everyone for everything that American presidents did before he arrived. The "reset" button has been set as the Obama administration loves to say. Everything will be all better now....pat pat.

And here's your reset Dalai Llama. Remember how for the past 18 years you could be sure of getting a meeting with the President of the USA when you came to America each year to plead for proper treatment of Tibetans who were bounced from their country by the Chinese 56 years ago? It was largely symbolic but it meant that the US had your back. Buzzzzzz, RESET.

No meeting with Obama until AFTER he meets with CHINA first! Guess what that message will be.....

Mainland China, our benefactor for the Stimulus Package, TARP money and the future trillions in Cap and Trade and ObamaCare are holding the car keys and saying.."you're staying in tonight kid".

Our President is saluting and saying " Yes, sir - whatever you say, sir."

And a chill wind blows on the island of Taiwan tonight.

"All the news that's fit to print."

Michelle Malkin, one of the blogospheres most brilliant and tireless minds recounts how the NYT own ombudsman describes their ineptitude and political partisanship regarding overlooking the stories about Van Jones and the ACORN video series. It is the absolute essence of what we've been saying around here about jourtegrity lost.

You have to read the ombudsman's comments. He should definitely stay away from the cafeteria food for awhile

Here's the hidden video we all want to see: first day on the job for a new journalist at the NYT when they have it explained to them what journalism "our way" is all about.

Note: I've been on charette with the documentary film that we're trying to complete the last couple of weeks. JL will be back full force soon.

When a People fear their Government that is Tyranny. When a Government fears its People that is Liberty

Jefferson said that 230 years ago and it remains valid.  The government is getting too big, too fast and America's regular folks are paying attention.

Get your yucks over the rest of the weekend watching the usual suspects (CNN, ABC,CBS,MSNBC, and the elitist newspapers) try to minimize and demonize the efforts.  Smile when you watch it instead of getting mad, it's much easier to take.  After all, it means they're frightened.

I don't think this is the revolution Bill Ayers had in mind at all.

'Nuff said

Add to that some awful stories coming out of the NHS in Britain about termination of life in it's later stages by healthcare workers and the incredible deficits from Canada, Britain and France for their public plans and you can see why Germany is reprivatizing their healthcare.

If you don't think journalism is dead in the Main Stream Media

....think of the last article you read in the: New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, or the last news story you saw on the ABC Evening News, NBC Evening News, CBS Evening News or anything touted as news on MSNBC and the other usual suspects; including Fox News. Then read this.

Still think there's actual journalism happening out there? I would argue that the closest thing to balanced, unbiased journalism happens in the Wall Street Journal and few other print rags. J-school frankly gets a very big part of the responsibility for this. From personal experience I can tell you J-school is severely biased toward the Democratic Talking Points angle.

Get your news from the WSJ, and weight your internet noodling with balanced sites - NOT just the sites that feed you the red meat you crave.
