I love comments! Comments that criticize, comments that discuss what was posted, comments that are insulting, and comments on comments’ comments are always welcome. Comments with links to related topics and links to personal websites are awesome, too!
However, comments that are nothing but advertisements unrelated to the original post are not welcome here. Posting any advertisement for any product unrelated to the original post will not go through. Posting about an item for sale that has nothing to do with the present discussion will not go through.
Seriously, I’ll approve everything… as long as it is somehow related to the original post.
But if you have something to advertise or sell, take it to Google Ads.
Every so often, the Wall Street Journal makes me do a double take.
Today, September 1st, 2010, the Wall Street Journal mentioned on page A7 that Hurricane Earl “could easily veer west in the coming days, becoming the first hurricane to hit the U.S. this season”.
Hoookay then. Sooooo…
WTF was hurricane Alex?
I do remember hurricane Alex coming by to say “howdy” back around July 1st, and it was definitely more “hurricane” than “hurricane-ish”. Does the eye have to pass directly over the continental U.S.’ line of scrimmage to be considered “official”? Did the mega-sized hurricane bands from Alex that were handing out free tornadoes and monsoon-flavored water not count?
According to the New York Times, yesterday “President Obama declared an end… to the seven-year American combat mission in Iraq, saying that the United States has met its responsibility to that country and that it is now time to turn to pressing problems at home. ”
We’re not out of Iraq. Not by a long shot. And now with the buildup in Afghanistan looking like the unwelcome sequel to the “lookin’ for tarr’ists” wars, I just don’t see US troop deployment truly “drawing down” anytime soon.
This is nothing more than another “Mission Accomplished” PR stunt, but this time, by the Democrats.
Chris Matthews of Hardball on MSNBC summarizes my thoughts on this ongoing lunacy far better than I can. (I wonder if his slip-up at 1:25 was intentional?)
