Obama’s Correct Assessment of N. Korea Will miracles never cease? First I had to give props to 2 Dem Senators over the Facebook thing. Now I have to say that BO got something right regarding foreign policy. Never thought that would happen, but there it is. He actually slammed N. Korea for the right reasons and in the right context. Amazing that he didn’t also slam US at the same time. For once, well done, Mr. President.

Senators Ask Feds to Probe Employer Requests for Facebook Passwords
Senators Ask Feds to Probe Employer Requests for Facebook Passwords. And these are Democratic Senators to boot. Still, I have to give props where it’s due. The practice of asking for social media and email login credentials is a huge violation of privacy. It may not be strictly covered by current law, but that should be remedied. Just as an employer can’t ask about marital status, religion, etc., so should they not be allowed access to your private communications. After [...]

The Gormogons: Santorum: Losing Grip
The Gormogons: Santorum: Losing Grip. The most dread and fearsome Czar of Gormogon fame has a great piece on Santorum’s crackup. Don’t know what else to call it. You can let slide silly stuff like saying teleprompters should be outlawed as making fun of Obama. But there’s no way in hell you can excuse saying we’d be better off with Obama as president than Romney. There’s so much wrong with that, I almost don’t even know where to start. But [...]

Mr. President, When Should I Expect Your Call? | Bristol Palin
Mr. President, When Should I Expect Your Call? | Bristol Palin. So, Bristol Palin is blogging over at Patheos. Good for her. First off, I have to give her props for not shying away from attention. Obviously this gig and the Dancing With the Stars gig are ways to earn money to support herself. She’s a single mom who, through an accident of birth (hers and her son’s) became a public figure when her mom ran for Veep. She’s obviously [...]

Best Quote About Obama I’ve Heard Lately
Mark Steyn had a great piece at Investors.com the other day, talking about how the current resident at 1600 Penn mangles history to make his points. Specifically, Obama said President Hayes said the telephone wouldn’t last. A quote which is untrue by the way. Hayes was the first to have not only a telephone, but a typewriter in the White House. Here’s the money quote: But obviously Hayes isnt as “forward-looking” as a 21st century president who believes in Jimmy [...]

Some reading in your spare time
So I dropped back into the country recently and had some down time between forays into upholding truth, justice and the American way, so I hit some books that had been piling up around my ‘secure location’. I enjoyed Edmund Morris’ final volume of his Theodore Roosevelt trilogy, Colonel Roosevelt. It isn’t quite as crisp or enthralling as the first 2 volumes, but neither was Roosevelt by this point. Still, as the focus swung solely from Roosevelt to include Taft [...]

Dependency Is On The Rise…
Dependency Is On The Rise, Despite Gov’t Attempts To Tell Us Things Are Getting Better – Investors.com. So why does the gummint keep saying things are getting better? Well, OK. That’s obvious. The President wants to be re-elected and the mainstream media wants to help. If you think this is not the case, think about last month’s unemployment rate of 8.3%, down from 8.5% and 8.7% the two months prior. Remember that this latest number can only be accounted for [...]
