DATELINE: DoesItGetAnyWeakerThanThisville, Mar 17 – Obama’s non-sanctions imposed on 11 individuals in response to the Crimea’s pro-Russian referendum are echos of the Marvin Gaye oldie, “I’m your puppet”. The so-called sanctions, announced today, consist of personal, but not business, asset freezes and travel bans to the United States. No reaction at all would have been better than shadow boxing with those Obama claims to blame for the Russian invasion of Crimea. Even in that, he’s way off the mark. Putin pulls the strings of the 11Read more…
DATELINE: Foggyville, Mar 4 – Secretary of State John Kerry gave a jet-lagged, rambling presentation in Kiev today about the Russian military incursion into the Ukraine. Or, at least, Kerry was standing in front of a microphone using words that sounded like ‘Ukraine’, ‘Russia’ and other familiar nouns. He also replied to a series of questions on the same subject in a string of halting, disjointed statements. Kerry did use well-known nouns, but he actually seemed to be talking about a place on a distantRead more…
DATELINE: Sillyville, Feb 25 – Susan Rice caused another dust-up in her appearance on NBC’s Meet The Press the other day. When asked about her Benghazi Sunday talk show tour de farce in September 2012, she said she had no regrets. Her response has upset a lot of people, but the fact is, this time at least, she’s telling the truth. After all, her performance five days after the massacre earned her a hefty promotion to National Security Advisor. Regrets? I guess not. But, Silly Susan made at leastRead more…
DATELINE: Crazyville, Feb 18 – A guy walks into a medical doctor’s office and tells the medico that he’s very worried about his friend. The guy has a video tape which he asks the doctor to watch in hopes that the md can help. The tape shows the friend at different events, talking to different people. In one scene, the friend is walking across a lawn. He informs his companions that he is special, rules for ordinary people do not apply toRead more…
DATELINE: Changeville, Feb 11 – Whatever it is, it isn’t Obamacare any longer. At least it isn’t the version that passed into law in 2010. There have been so many changes and postponements that it will look like an imposter at its fourth birthday party next month. And there’s another major distorting fact. The alterations and delays have made an impossibly complex piece of legislation even more convoluted. Just take a look at the most recent stall, which happened to happenRead more…
DATELINE: Hubrisville, Feb 5 – Common sense is a type of gravity. It’s a lot like Newton’s force which keeps us from floating into outer space. Common sense keeps us from getting carried away by ridiculous ideas. But, common sense does not have the same pull on everyone. Some on the planet have such lightweight thought processes that common sense can’t bring them down to earth no matter how strong the facts. The latest stunningly absurd, gravity-defying notion is that millions who areRead more…
