Does anybody else find it supremely ironic that Ben Stein made a documentary about academia’s intolerance toward those who question evolutionary theory — and then a university effectively rescinded an invitation to speak? Seems to me that nothing in Ben Stein’s Expelled is more compelling evidence of the truth of his thesis than that.
I don’t have a horse in this race myself but I think this is a gift to Ben Stein it validates his thesis and strengthens his whole hand. Even if you disagree much better to let him talk. I suspect he would have been a great speaker.
Russia flexes its muscle and suddenly Kyrgyzstan carries Russia’s water giving us notice to scoot. Russia finances the closing and then “consents” to help us.
Pakastan releases Kahn from house arrest no word from the white house.
My wife’s union got a call from her union urging her to call our senators to support the “stimulus” bill. As our Senator’s are Kennedy and Kerry that would be a waste of time as they would support this president if it was a bill to declare English Muffins a war crime, even if she was inclined to support the bill (she’s not).
That is also why I haven’t called since it would be a waste of time in Massachusetts. I’ll do it with my congressman Olver since it is the least liberal district in the state (which isn’t saying much) and from meeting him a nice guy.
This is in my opinion a really lousy bill. It’s not as bad a first move as Clinton’s don’t ask don’t tell goes but its going to be a bad hit for him. Hopefully it will bring him down to earth. The speed of the bill suggests it. And unlike the Patriot act potentially tens of thousands of life are not in immediate danger. And if you think they are, talk to some depression era people about what hard times actually are.
Been watching since 6:30 and just not finding anything worth blogging on it so far.
6:59 a.m. It’s pretty bad when the only thing to talk about is “Drag Queen robs Burger King” But you can’t get a hit every time at bat.
7:01 a.m. Still talking the baby it was cute and she did glow when holding it. It still brings a smile to my face. As my kids are nearing the end of their teen years I’m strongly regretting not having a 3rd.
7:05 a.m. Obama could sign a winner with republicans and democrats. I still maintain that if the democrats thought this would work they would call for the vote and let Republicans take the hit for either filibustering it or voting against it.
7:07 a.m. That was a very acquired laugh by Mika interviewing the Cole’s captain.
7:10 a.m. Joe is going a little loud on it. Commander Lippold shows how calm and cool is. He doesn’t like this.
7:12 a.m. I do think this is a little disingenuous since this guy is not going to be let go.
7:15 a.m. I love that this show isn’t afraid to have a guest who will challenge liberal orthodoxy.
7:26 a.m. Mika: What is the rush if its going to be bad?
7:41 a.m. These guys just love that Obama says I screwed up. Pat does point out that the vetters are responsible, but I say that the fact that stuff like this wouldn’t have been considered a problem says a lot about the way these guys think.
7:54 a.m. Confessions of a Shopaholic. blah blah blah YAWN!
7:56 a.m. All about confidence says Woodward. He’s right about that.
8:08 a.m. Krugman we are nitpicking on this bill. Obama should go on the offensive on the bill.
8:12 a.m. Krugman seems to think that all president Bush did was cut taxes wasn’t there a ton of spending? Re-writes the history of the Reagan years. Has a point about the fed though.
8:15 a.m. The 90’s was gridlock not corporation, hey maybe that means we should do nothing. Krugman thinks doing nothing is horrible, that’s confirms my opinion.
8:29 a.m. Chris Matthews needs to be on Morning Joe more often, it seems to bring him back to sanity. Says he needs to explain what the bill does and why.
8:31 a.m. Dump stimulus it sounds like a porn ad. I think that the great talking bit is lessened without a teleprompter.
8:40 a.m. Matthews seems to have crowned Susan Collins as kingmaker. Maine votes like people from Maine, looking for deeper meaning in her victory this year is just wrong.
8:43 a.m. Barnicle must have seen this ad from Reason:
8:51 a.m. More Mika and the baby I expect this judge to get angry.
