So the Iranian press yesterday speculated . . .
Munich? Could the Obama administration be that foolish?

Lucky Bastards at the Washington Examiner

Byron York is a solid reporter and one of the best examples of a person who can report facts without without letting one’s ideology mess with them. Check out his archive to see what i mean.
He anounces today that this will be his last week at the National Review as he moves to political reporting at the Washington Examiner and blogging at http://ExaminerPolitics.com
This is a huge loss for the corner. The graveyards may be full of irreplaceable men but as noted earlier real reporters who actually report are a rare commodity these days.
A sucker bet

Father Z offers a sucker bet:
This is probably the week we will start to see an acceleration of expressions of real hatred of the Holy Father and the SSPX.
The nastiness is starting to seep out cracks in the foreheads of the progressivists which split open when Benedict lifted the excommunications.
These people are terrified.
I wouldn’t bet against this if you were giving 100-1. Just because it is the Catholic Church doesn’t mean we don’t have our own angry left.
Boston has a really good Cardinal in Sean O’Malley. Damian Thompson recommends him for his comments on the St. Pius X society but he really shines on his blog over the Right to life march:
Last week, the March for Life was a great success. The numbers of people who participated — particularly the number of young people — and the enthusiasm of the people for the cause was very encouraging. However, it is disturbing to see that the secular press, for the most part, chose to ignore a gathering of this proportion.
This week someone shared an article with me written by Don Feder, whom many of you will remember as a long-time Boston Herald columnist. In the article, he expresses dismay that the March for Life did not even receive a mention in the New York Times. He makes a strong point when he says that, had the cause been one that the liberal media was in favor of, even if there were just a few people there, it would be given prominence of place.
Sadly, the pro-life cause frequently receives this sort of unfair treatment. The media often seem to prefer to ignore the fact that huge numbers of Americans are dismayed at the lack of legal protection for human life in our country and are willing to express that in a public demonstration. This is certainly indicative of what a lacuna there is in our national media when it comes to the pro-life cause.
Indirect proof?
