Chris Bergin has retracted the story about problems with ESAS. That’s why I hedged my piece yesterday with the word “apparently.” This doesn’t, of course, mean that there aren’t problems with ESAS–we just don’t know what they are, yet.
Speaking Of The Hammer
When I read this story, all I could think was WTF? I mean WTFF?
The White House is looking at a list of cost-cutting candidates to head the Office of Management and Budget, and Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas, may be on it.
Would that be the same Tom Delay who said that there was no fat left in the federal budget? That “cost-cutting candidate”? That appointment would indicate that the administration is completely unserious about cutting spending (not that there hasn’t been abundant evidence of that over the past five plus years).
Don’t Mess With The Hammer
When I saw the headline on this story about Rep. Kennedy’s recent injury, I thought that Tom Delay had finally gotten fed up with him.

Gee, Wally
…you’re really old. Tony Dow turns sixty one today. Frightening.
What’s even more so is that some of my younger readers may have no idea what this post is about.
“Although”?
Here’s an interesting story from SEEBS news:
Although Americans believe they are better informed about Islam than they were five years ago, a new CBS News poll finds fewer than one in five say their impression of the religion is favorable.
OK, class, what’s wrong with the first word of this story?
Anyone, anyone, Bueller?
Yes, it’s the word “although.” Clearly, any sane person would have started off that sentence with the word “Because.”
But “because” the MSM wants to persist in feeding us the CAIR line that “Islam is a religion of peace,” they have to use a nonsensical word to preface the rest of the thought. For the devil’s advocates in the room, please explain to me and my other readers how a better understanding of Islam would compel one to have a more, rather than less, favorable impression of it.
[Update on Thursday morning]
This kind of reminds me of a similar confusion about cause and effect, when the New York Times will start a story, “Despite the recent drop in the crime rate, the prison population is at an all-time high.”

“How Can They Think That?”
Melanie Phillips writes about Saddam’s secrets:
Earlier this year, Sada was interrogated about his claims by the American House Intelligence committee, to whom he gave the names of the Iraqi pilots. Subsequently, he says, the Committee went to Iraq and spoke to the pilots. The result, he says, is that a major American investigative and diplomatic effort is now under way to finally locate the missing WMD.
But in Britain, I say, people now firmly believe that there were no WMD and that we were taken to war on a lie. Sada looks utterly flabbergasted.
