Today the Anchoress looks at what socialism is and what the president is doing. It’s a good read but there is one line in particular that should be read over and over again:
…socialism does not work, except in monasteries and the reason it works in monasteries is because it is voluntary.
Read it, remember it and repeat as necessary.
Today on Morning Joe Barnicle said something that deserves its own post.
All over the world we see this administration talking. Syria, Iran, perhaps Cuba and the Taliban and maybe even Hamas are worthy of negotiation they are to be engaged. The fact they at least three of them are directly involved in killing Americans notwithstanding.
Rush Limbaugh who generates revenue and income for Americans all over the country by his successful radio show. He can’t be debated or attacked he must be destroyed.
Obama and our friends on the left know who America’s true foes are, but just a thought. If Rush wants Obama to “fail” and Iran, Taliban, Cuba, Syria et/al don’t what does that tell you?
UPDATE: You can add Jim Cramer to that 2nd list.
A quick roundup of the games.
Puerto Rico 3 – Holland 1.
When I heard that Manager Jose Oquendo what asked how he would handle his pen if he was trailing was beside himself at the suggestion that he would be trailing, that insulted me as a fan and made me adamantly a fan of the Dutch, They held to that one run lead in the 8th thanks to incredible pitching and defense including two men thrown out at the plate but there are only so many walks you can give up before a good team is going to break through.
I’m not sure if holding back Robbie Cortemas is going to haunt them but if they can somehow get a lead against the Dominican team that is out for revenge big time, keeping him back is going to turn out to be a stroke of genius.
I hit the sack and didn’t watch the South Africa/Mexico game. It was not any kind of a surprise to me. What will be interesting is who they are going to be playing.
I couldn’t watch the Italy Canada game. If anyone told me that Canada was going to be the first team bounced from the tourney in group C I would have laughed at the suggestion. The Canadians aren’t laughing now. Italy apparently played a good game. The question is will they be underestimated again?
It’s amazing how you can sleep when you’ve been taking apart and moving Pinball machines around the house etc. Slept right through till 7.
7:02 a.m. Sooner or later Businesses need to be allowed to act like businesses.
7:07 a.m. This is one of the fun parts of the show that they don’t take themselves seriously, and Mika does look nice in blue.
7:08 a.m. Gibbs fireman analogy isn’t bad, but being a spokesman is a lousy job, but it beats unemployment.
7:10 a.m. A very important point, they didn’t start the fire but they campaigned for the job of Fire Chief.
7:14 a.m. Joe nails it on the Rich and taxes. Have you noticed that we haven’t seen much of Crammer on the show lately?
7:22 a.m. Hass ugh!
7:24 a.m. Todd is correct when you hear someone say “99%” of what he says I agree with means they don’t agree with them.
7:26 a.m Great point by Barnicle, they will talk to Iran, Syria and the Taliban but won’t talk to the Bankers. I would add they won’t talk to Rush either.
7:31 a.m. When China stops buying our notes up go interest rates. My 6 1/2% mortgage is looking good.
7:32 a.m. Speak of the Crammer and on he comes.
7:36 a.m. Good point about Stewart willing to attack Crammer and Bush but not willing to attack Obama.
7:38 a.m. Joe points out that none of the late night guys will attack Obama. How about that not reporting what someone actually said. Where have we seen that before?
7:42 a.m. Self reflection by media people on MSNBC! If it wasn’t Morning Joe my head would explode.
7:44 a.m. They play the Rush clip defending him.
7:46 a.m. Maybe they should debate Cramer, yeah they will do that after they debate Rush.
7:54 a.m. Congressman Kingston points out where the money is going and what it is doing.
8:02 a.m. I’d have gone to Cincy to see Pete Rose play too. I never saw him play live but I saw him on the set. He doesn’t belong in the Hall of Fame, but he belongs on any team that wants to win.
8:13 a.m. Sniderman is talking “investing in health care reform” the question is what does she mean by it?
8:29 a.m. Nothing wrong with Non-Violence Mr. King, try it against a culture that doesn’t have its roots in British common Law and see what happens.
8:43 a.m. Is that drink of Mika’s spiked?
8:58 a.m. Mika in boots is an interesting sight.
