A Salute to the Courage of Iranian Women »

After relative silence from the President on the events unfolding in Iran, the White House is now intimating that his Cairo speech contained the seeds for the Iranian revolution we now see playing out in the streets of Tehran. But Anne Applebaum’s excellent piece today in the Washington Post, An Overlooked Force in Iran, [...]

the obama effect…? »

I have been following the coverage of Iran this past week, listening to both sides, those who think Obama is setting the right tone by staying out of it, and those who think he is not being strong enough - basically voting present. Now, I assume that Obama is listening to many experts, people who [...]

Back In The U.S.A. »

Hey, Everybody -
I have returned from my most fabulous, awesome Mediterranean cruise. I was met by three of the puppies (Lucky, Lani, and Leila), who are BIG now, running up and down the stairs to go outside, running all over the yard, playing, playing, playing. So cute. Hopefully, we’ll find homes soon [...]

Circus Twelvers »

 

There was a well-turned theater piece from the dreary Durban II confab at Geneva when a couple of French clowns shouted and danced during the routine rude remarks of Twelver faceman M. Ahmadinejad. What is fresh here is the hair-do of rainbow colors. It could be a [...]

Obama’s First Anti-Racism Test as President [UPDATE] »

(Originally printed December 5, 2008)
UPDATE: The Chicago Tribune (understandably busy with the Blagojevich blow-up) has the “first ever” newspaper interview with the official PEBO. As we said several days ago, PEBO has stated he wants to make a major speech from a muslim capital. Fine.
Barack Obama says his presidency is an opportunity [...]

The Utterly Immature Naïf »

One wonders how Barack Obama will solidify relations of trust with our allies abroad when Nicolas Sarzoky, the French President who presided over a joint press conference with Barack Obama on the subject of Iran in July, characterized Obama’s foreign policy stances and formulations to Isreali foreign officials as “utterly immature,” “empty of content,” “very [...]

Iceland broke; Iranians’ nuke aid; Magic Obama, Derty Pouiiy’s bro; Racism x2 & Racism as Strategy »

1) Iceland considers bankruptcy. From the International Herald Tribune:

People go bankrupt all the time. Companies do, too. But countries?
Iceland was on the verge of doing exactly that on Thursday as the government shut down the stock market and seized control of its last major independent bank. That brought trading in the country’s currency to a [...]

Mrs. Smith Goes to Washington with Johnny Mac and Why Obama/Biden Leave Me Cold »

Last night Sarah Palin showed she could hold her own with a 36-year veteran of the Senate. I’m sure she was a bit nervous – who wouldn’t be – after only five weeks on the national stage. The pressure for her to hit it out of the park must have been excruciating. [...]

“Are You Threatened BY Me?” »

Today was the day that Senator Hillary Clinton and Governor Sarah Palin were to speak at the Anti-Iran Rally at the UN. As everyone knows by now, Senator Clinton decided not to speak once she learned Gov. Palin was going to be there, and then Gov. Palin was unceremoniously UN-invited to speak. Wowie [...]

Obama’s Republicans »

According to the New York Sun, Obama’s Republican leadership is a cast of characters. They include the following people, Rita Hauser, the PLO apologist whose law firm, Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, racked up millions of dollars in legal fees over the years as a registered foreign agent of Yasser Arafat’s Palestinian Authority, Lincoln Chafee [...]

Obama, The Paper Lion? »

Bring on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and every other unfriendly world leader and Obama will sit down and chat with them directly. And, according to the Associated Press, “In May, when a McCain adviser proposed a series of pre-convention appearances at town hall meetings, Obama said, ‘I think that’s a great idea…Obviously, we would have to [...]

Che, Obama, and the Revolutionary Agenda »

It’s really not surprising that some Obama supporters — with their blinkered, cult-like worship of Obama — have Ernesto “Che” Guevara side-by-side with their icon of Hope and Change.

Some attribute the use of Che’s image in Obama’s campaign offices to his naive young followers. The only Che they know comes from Hollywood, portrayed by Gael [...]
