"BALDERDASH!!"

Why can't a discussion like this appear in the U.S. media....??
H/T to Information Clearinghouse. British MP George Galloway completely blowing every argument for "strategic strikes" on Iran out of the water. Plus, he's got a wicked cool accent.

THIS JUST IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What would we do without the mainstream media? Huh? I ask you...

I am not making this up... Actual headline at msnbc:

"Wealthy Still Traveling Despite Economy"


The intrigued and enlightened reader clicks on this in order to find THIS shocking revelation coming from what must have been some absolutely stunning investigative journalism:

"Wealthy people less likely to feel pinch of rising food and energy costs"


And really...this IS good news, indeed. I was a bit worried about the wealthy...

Seriously...do I file this under completely non-news news - the 'duh' file? Or under the I-can't-believe-they-actually-had-the-audacity-to-report-this-while-the rest-of-us-are-wondering-where-our-next-car-payment-is-coming-from file?

Argh.

Collect 'em All!

Obama just keeps grinding them out. Speeches which, short of declaring that the U.S. should adopt the Scandinavian system, say exactly what I have always wanted to hear a leader say. Uncanny, almost... Seriously, it began with the now famous 2004 Democratic Convention keynote speech and has only gotten better. I have previously posted the 'Race' speech here, and so, like baseball cards, I may as well keep it consistent and collect 'em all. So...enjoy: Obama on "Patriotism".
