Baghdad is finally Judenrein.

OWS Versus The Tea Party
Finding common ground. They agree about the problem, which is corporatism. They disagree about the solution.
From “Arab Spring” to Arab Fall
Egypt descends into chaos:
Egypt literally will run out of food. It imports half its caloric consumption, mainly wheat (although Egyptians eat less wheat than Iranians, Moroccans, Canadians, Turks and Russians). Egypt spends $5.5 billion a year on food subsidies. Its social solidarity minister wants to change the system (which subsidizes some people who can afford to pay more than the penny a loaf the government charges), but seems deeply confused. “‘We need to change consumer habits so that we are not consuming so much bread. In Mexico, for example, they rely more on potatoes. Why can’t we start shifting toward that?’said Saad Nassar, adviser to the agriculture minister.” Mr. Nassar seems unaware that Mexicans eat more corn than wheat or potatoes. This discussion would be comical if not for the fact that Egypt is about to run out of money to pay for any sort of food.
It’s going to get a lot uglier. Especially for the Copts. And perhaps Israel.
Michael Jackson’s Death
No, I can safely say, with conscience clear, that I had absolutely nothing to do with it. I never asked him to make a concert tour, I never bought any of his music, I never encouraged him to do anything he ever did in any way whatsoever. My hands are completely clean. I just wish we could stop hearing about him.
[Update a while later]
You know the bit about how he claimed that he never had a childhood? It appeared to me that he had a childhood that lasted for five decades.
Obama As Policy Genius
Where is the evidence? Where is the evidence that he’s a genius at anything?
What If The Tea Party
…had been pooping on police cars, stealing soap from local businesses and flooding their bathrooms, shutting down the Air and Space Museum on a Saturday while attacking its guards, preventing anyone from moving in downtown New York for days? Especially if they were as white as these leftist clowns are? Can you imagine the hyperventilating by the media over the violence and racism? And hey guys, if you really want to show you’re opposed to Wall Street, why not go over to Lafayette Park and demonstrate against President Goldman Sachs?
The EPA
Why it’s rational for Republicans to oppose it. It’s good policy and good politics.
A cleanAn ultra-clean environment is a luxury good. We’re broke.
Barack Milhaus
…Obama.
So much for the post-racial uniter not a divider.
Accomplice To Murder
Does Eric Holder have a lot more to worry about than mere perjury charges? And continuing kudos to Sharyl Attkisson at CBS.
Comment Du Jour
Over at John Boot’s review of the latest hairball to be hacked up by George Clooney and Hollywood, check out comment #25:
This web site has delved into sickness. How can anyone with any compassion attack George Clooney? He is a great man who works tirelessly to help the less fortunate. I read this article and was so blown away by the author’s ignorance that I felt compelled to call my Life Coach. I needed some immediate advice and direction. Sasha told me to channel my feelings toward the source of my anger, but to do so in a creative way that, hopefully, will penetrate the thick ignorant armor of my instigators. So here is my attempt to reach all of you through that ancient poetic art form of Haiku:
Crazy neocons
destructive and hateful
gay killers
never bi-curious
haters of life
snuffers of hope
negro president?
destroy!
mocha cappucino?
HATE!Please take the time to digest this. I’m really hoping that it will reach some of you before your hate engulfs us all.
I can’t decide if it’s serious or a gag.
Which reminds me. A commenter at Space Politics named Grondine keeps talking about how the “neocons” have screwed up NASA. I repeatedly ask him what he thinks a “neocon” is, and to provide some examples, but he never does so.
