Good morning.
- Philosophy and (as a cure for?) politics. Judging from the nature of the philosophical disputes in the rule of Justinian, I’d offer that philosophy will not be the cure.
- Truth in advertising … fail!
- Carbon (fiber) and the auto.
- Well that’s a theme I’ve offered on more than one occasion.
- More DS-9 discussions.
- On the President’s kiddie speech. Another view here.
- Crazy (and highly skilled) climber.
- Revolt!!!
- Afghanistan and their cash crop.
- Czars (and Czarinas … although I can’t spot any women’s names on that list) … odd that.
- He says “cynical panderer” like that’s a bad thing. Hasn’t he noticed the national stage, that’s all we have in the beltway, no?
- Christianity … making life meaningless.
- Exactly right on healthcare … or in my words, you’re just re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic if you don’t address the supply problem.
- Nature and nurture.
On the President’s kiddie speech. Another view here.
From the speech:
from the 2nd link:
As if the company that cures AIDS or cancer isn’t going to make billions of dollars in profit?! What a worthless moron.
the first link, though, does provide a nice quote from Albert Mohler:
I would alter the priorities of this around. The conservatives here have gone off the deep end yet again. At this point it is quite tiresome to hear intelligent conservatives play the game of pretending the speck in the liberal’s eye is just as big as the beam in their own eye.
Yes in some quarters Obama is very popular. Yes this has created a cult of personality. But this is mostly minor and has already burned itself out not with the help of hysterical conservatives but by its own gravity (I’m looking at you Obama Chia Pet!). It’s a bit much to presume that this is something that can be turned on or off by Obama or the White House by will.
To pretend, yet again, that this is somehow equal in error to the hysterical right wing response complete with instant Hitler comparisons, inflamatory claims to be standing up for liberty, ‘taking back the country’ etc. is the very epitome of ethical blindness.
Boonton,
It can be “not supported” by him, e.g., the WH posting pictures of him with a photo-shopped halo linked a few days ago. At this point is quite tiresome to hear intelligent liberals pretending this isn’t something which Obama encourages.
Coming from the Bush-Hitler left with Pelosi making Nazi=healthcare non-supporter comparisons that’s a daring move.
Seriously, what error or mis-step of mine are you pornifying?
Beam in thy own eye…..or at least in the eye of thy own compatriots.
