I was a little disappointed with today’s quiz results. Mr. Starr will be returning next week and he will be informed. From Commentary, “1948, Israel and the Palestinians” by Efraim Karsh. Facts are stubborn things. Too bad more people aren’t aware of them. From Politico, “Who’s Smearing Whom” by James Kirchik. Know hypocrisy! From Lileks.com, “The Movie ‘Wall-E’ is Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Good” by James Lileks. Lileks is such a good writer, he threatens to send me into a self-defeating spiral of jealousy and self-loathing. From USA Today, “Obama’s Real Patriotism Problem” by Jonah Goldberg. Does Obama love the potential of America more than the real thing? There is a difference, you know. Try telling your wife how much you’ll love her after she loses a few pounds and learns to dress as stylishly as the lonely housewife down the street. You’ll see what I mean. From AmericaBlog, “Honestly, Besides Being Tortured, What Did McCain Do to Excel in the Military?” by John Aravosis. Sorry – this isn’t a parody. And Aravosis is part of the lefty blogosphere’s aristocracy. But at least he shows an unimpeachable expertise regarding military matters:
A tough point to rebut. Anyone who’s worth anything in the Navy makes general. From Daily Kos, “Rewarding Good Behavior” by Markos Moulitsas. Kos is hitting Obama where it hurts – right in the old wallet. In response to Obama’s serial perfidies of the past week, Kos has decided to withhold his contemplated $2300 contribution to the Obama campaign. Politicians without core principles (other than Hope/Change) will throw anyone and everyone under the bus. Shocking that the left is having to relearn the lessons of the Clinton years so soon.
