You’ve got to be kidding

Did I just hear Pat Buchanan say on Morning Joe that the reason there is no peace is that there is not a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital?

Yup land for Peace has worked REALLY well hasn’t it?

6:41 a.m. Joe asked Pat why the international community never reacts before Israel has to strike? Pat is ducking dodging and weaving.

6:42 a.m. “Would prime minister Buchanan go after Hamas?” I would go in but chase like Pancho Villa. Accuses Israel of operating a penal camp.

6:45 a.m. How does Israel get the UN to intervene before they have to go in? Nobody wants to answer, because it is impossible.

Lousy Timing

Well my subscription to Big Finish’s Doctor Who series has run out. The Timing is pretty bad because there are some really cool things coming up.

First there there is the 3 part Key to Time 2 series featuring the 5th doctor.

Next there is The companion chronicles mini series featuring Polly, The Brigadier and Thomas Brewster in his stolen Tardis. (Takes place between Haunting of Thomas Brewster and The Boy That Time Forgot). These will be 10 minute episodes starting in April at the end of the regular Cd’s.

Lastly a one shot called An Earthly child as the subscription bonus in December Featuring Paul McGann as the 8th doctor and Carole Ann Ford as Susan Foreman. No word on if it is an adaption of the novel.

If I’m very lucky I’ll have a job fast and be able to restart my sub right away. If not then before April so I can subscribe to get the 2nd section.

Otherwise it’s Mike’s comics as funds permit. Their blog is here.

Morning Joe discovers the Palin interview (Updated regularly)

It looks like a few days after the blogisphere. Morning Joe has discovered Sarah Palin’s Interview available all over the conservative net:

It looks very much like it will not be a friendly reaction, but once they finally finish with college football we will see.

6:10 a.m. They seem to be making some grudging agreement to start.

6:14 a.m. They play the quote concerning Caroline Kennedy. They comment correctly that she is getting some critical coverage.

7:15 a.m. So much for the grudging agreement now she is a whiner.

7:20 a.m. Norah O’Donnell gives a “yes but” over the “going after the family” business. Suggests she asked for it. Would love to see what the Reclusive Leftist would say to that kind of sentiment.

8:15 a.m. You just knew that if Palin was going to be attacked that Peggy Noonan was going to be on the show today. Its a wonder that Kathleen Parker was invited as well.

8:41 a.m. Apparently according to Susie Orman Gov Palin is not “mature enough” to not fight back. Watch for the UN to try to impose her as the new PM of Israel ASAP

8:55 a.m. Orman manages one last dig in what we learned today. I feel much better about missing her own show on a regular basis.
