Merry Christmas!

Peace on earth and goodwill to men.

Obama's quote on Iran

Obama says that he, "understands the Iranian people have deep concerns about the election."

Oh dear, he really doesn't get this, does he? Imagine Churchill said something like this in the early days of the second World War. That he understood that the Polish people had deep concerns about the German army invading from the west, and the Russian army from the east? Yeah, I've heard the line that he is trying to look like he's not interfering in internal Iranian politics, or that the next leader of Iran won't be any different, but it doesn't excuse the incredibly weak language. Its like you are an upset customer, and Obama, the service rep repeats, yeah I understand. You know nothing is going to be done, and worse you know he knows that you know, or something like that. Aren't we proud of our political traditions and the right to vote? Couldn't he have said something affirmative about our belief in liberty? You can be cagey, and still give support.

I've discovered Twitter

I'd probably blog more, but I keep on find other things to see/do/read.

Now I can spend endless hours going through all the tweets of the people I now follow.

I think I need to clone myself.

Damn you technology! (but I still like you...)

Perhaps a phrase from history might make a point?

Or this picture?

Read the Stimulus!

I stumbled across this link I think over at Redstate, which seems to be down at the moment. Start reading and then try to figure out what Congress is going to spend our future tax dollars on....

Imperator Caesar Divi Filius

I've been reading a ton of blogs today trying to get a handle on the reactions to the Inaugural.

One picture posted by the Anchoress caught my attention, and I posted a comment there. I've crossposted it here as well:



My first reaction to this was, "Come on! Isn't this a little over the top?" Yet, a few moments later my initial exasperation drifted into unease. In some dark ancient pool of my mind something whispered, "Unlucky."

I wish Obama well, I'm sure he is already feeling the heavy weight of the responsibility entrusted to him. Messianic sweatshirts can only add to the burden. Tracey at Beyond the Pale says it well (ht: The Anchoress (again!))
