…a stature of limitation on this:
The police union in San Francisco has accused the radical couple and allies of Barack Obama of setting a bomb in 1970 that killed a police sergeant. The union cites testimony from a former government informant.
Well this is an interesting twist. I wonder if they will ask him about it at his next book signing.
…it’s because I got home late from game night. We finally had 6 guys so we played the Anniversary edition of Axis and allies. Very long game and we didn’t finish. We will try to pick it from from next week. The Russian Bear is teetering, Both the US and England have developed Shipyard improvement and German paratroopers are now wreaking havoc. Even Italy is making it’s presence felt.
The new version is very interesting I like the addition of Italy and the re-done Map. It’s a first rate game but I don’t think it was worth the $100 Ken paid for it. Although I’ve got to admit the pieces are awesome. The tanks and ships correspond to the nation that produces them. For example for the British their fighter planes are spitfires, for the Germans their artillery are 88’s etc etc etc. It’s a lot of chrome but you pay for it.
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.
Matt Welsh via Glenn when dealing with the Freeman nomination notes the sudden spin of the left from the Saudi’s being the root of all evil to it being no trouble at all:
Remember when Saudi-bashing was a lefty thing? When Michael Moore was devoting a big chunk of Farenheit 9/11 to the over-warm relationship between U.S. leaders and the clannish House of Saud, stewards of the dictatorship that produced 15 of 19 hijackers on that sunny September morning, and Craig Unger was peddling House of Bush, House of Saud? Well now that Barack Obama is in the Oval Office, the proper lefty response has morphed into a full-throated defense of one of Saudi Arabia’s most influential apologists: Former U.S. ambassador Chas Freeman, who has been nominated to head up the National Intelligence Council. Why? Because neocons don’t like him.
What I want to know is why anyone is surprised at this? You might recall our leftist friends were dead set against fighting world war II until June 22, 1941. Until the Soviet Union was under threat the war was not worth fighting. Once the invasion took place then the worm turned very quickly.
As for Andrew Sullivan who has less credentials on the left recall he proclaims himself a Catholic but when Catholic belief conflicts with his personal desires he simply modifies Catholic belief and proclaims his modified belief superior. Why should his beliefs on Iraq or the China or the Saudi’s be any different?
