Take half a day, go away from the blog and your e-mail and just forget they are there. The news will still be there but you will feel much more relaxed.

“We Must Stop The White Man And His Uncle Toms” Dan Riehl researches Charles Sherrod
Posted: July 26, 2010 by datechguy in internet/free speech, opinion/newsTags: irony, media, new media, racism, reality, sherrod
Take a look at this post at Dan Riehl’s place.
Read it quite carefully. Here is my prediction:
The media will totally ignore this, and call it out of context and site Breitbart as their justification, however our friends on the left will withhold judgment until a “full video” (which this time not be forthcoming) is released.
We will not see Shirley Sherrod, her husband Charles, or their daughter Russia (yes you read that right) on the air it will not be touched.
Anyone want to make book on my prediction?
Update That didn’t take long, Did it? Memeorandum thread here.
Joe Raises a great point about Pakistan

In a phone call to Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough makes a critical point on Pakistan; that of course they are our enemy and have been from the start.
Does anyone remember the speech that Musharraf made at the start of the Afghan war besides me? As I recall (and correct me if I’m wrong) In that speech he compared his actions in corporation with the Bush administration to Mohammad’s treaty with the Jews and stressed he was doing what he was about to do for the survival of his country.
Basically at a time when practically the entire country was looking for blood Bush laid down the law and Musharraf caved, but at the same time we breathed a sigh of relief as we wanted no part of a war with a Nuclear Pakistan if it could be avoided.
As soon as they (Pakistan) determined that we were not going to hit them, they quickly resumed their role as quiet friends of Islamic terror in general and the Taliban in particular.
Since there is absolutely of us challenging Pakistan in a way they would find credible (particularly with this administration) this will continue with impunity until and unless there is a cost to those in power greater than the domestic risk of supporting us.
Update: Hate to admit it but Zbigniew Brzezinski is absolutely right, I’m being simplistic on Pakistan, there are multiple sides within the government and it is very complicated. We do have to be very careful here.
Take out the griddle, make pancakes, french toast, Kielbasa from your local butcher and a small ham steak and cook breakfast for the family.
The cooking occupies your mind, the food is tasty and a family breakfast with some substance is something that makes life better.
Never forget that the people in your house are your reality, the people on the tube are not.
