Mohamed el-Baradei
Mohamed el-Baradei is an anti-American fraud and beneficiary. Unfortunately, I have no confidence that Obama would do anything to resist el-Baradei’s elevation, should such a “solution” be proposed.

North Africa, South Africa
In North Africa, the Egyptians are following the Tunisians in demanding liberty —and my friend whose husband is from Tunisia and who still maintains family and business interests there says that everybody they know is happy with the developments. Maybe a little nervous about security issues of various kinds, but feeling that things can only get better now.
And in the country of South Africa, the indispensable Mandela is ailing. I remember watching with pride the scenes of voters standing in miles-long lines that his moral example made possible. But now he seems small —a martyr who lived and who came to endure his own irrelevance.
I will be interested to see how all of these remarkable events are covered on the TV.
Rewatching the SOTU
In rewatching President Obama’s SOTU address from last night, I think he genuinely believes that the State is the source of prosperity and the driver of our economy, rather than a regulator and competitor that only grows to encroach upon personal liberty and to ultimately co-opt and then expropriate the actual reason America works and can afford Big Government: private capital. This stuff about this being a “Sputnik moment” and a time for Apollo projects of our own is an example of his thoroughgoing Marxism. Don’t look away from that assessment or reflexively dismiss it, either! Obama believes that the State originates innovation, when all it can really do is fund private contractors and academia in furtherance of some political agenda. With his two examples, both of which involved an agency (i.e., NASA) that he now wants to cut and marginalize, Obama apparently sees us in some sort of equivalent to the race into space or to the Moon —but in what way now, some 50 years on? What goal do we have as Americans that can be achieved collectively today? Why does he think the American economy grows by the diktats of a central authority? America has no ideological foe to compete against now, but to destroy. That is an ugly fact that won’t be leaving the room empty-handed.
And look at what’s left of the Democratic morons who now want to stand with Republicans to applaud the repeal of Obamacare’s 1099 provisions! If they had taken the time and care last year to address our health care deficiencies in America properly and honestly, they wouldn’t have included such a thing. But now they want to stand and cheer it down?
Watching MSNBC before the SOTU
This Democratic Representative from NY, Carolyn McCarthy, talking to the oddly well-behaved Lawrence O’Donnell is a gun control nut who is using Tucson as a pretext for promoting her gun control nuttiness —and Dick Cheney’s opinion of extended ammo clips is irrelevant. Why do hippies think that they can get rid of enough guns and magazines and ammunition to make America safe? It’s almost as stupid a belief as the Republicans’ delusion that it’s possible to completely eradicate marihuana. What childish crap! If it is some psychopath’s purpose to commit mass murder, how likely is it that he will be deterred by too short an ammo clip?
Just say no to gun control enthusiasts and gateway drug addicts.
More Time with the Family
Jim Webb smells like he’s out for 2012. His political life these past two years of the Obamareich has been a series of terrible chess moves and he very obviously knows he’s done.
Watching CNN before the SOTU
Gergen, you ridiculous bastard, get rid of that comb-over!
