This and That.
A couple of worthwhile things I came across today on the loser Obamadhinejad.
First a wonderful piece at Townhall by Mary Grabar, You Need a Weatherman to Tell Which Way Obama Will Go.
When I heard a major part of Obama’s resume included a stint as a “community advisor”, I asked myself what the term meant.
Lovely take down of his pretensions and a clear statement of his lack of anything that would qualify him for any job requiring some sort of expertise.

You’ve no doubt heard of one of Obama’s foreign policy advisors Richard Danzig citing Winnie the Pooh no less as a model for criticizing GWB’s ‘rigid inability to change direction’, well William Kristol at The Weekly Standard has intriguing thoughts on it, in a superbly titled piece, Obama’s Pooh-Bah.
…
History Will Say That We Mis-underestimated George W Bush says Andrew Roberts in The Daily Telegraph.
Send it to any lefties you want to annoy.

There seems to be a bit of an Obama-bashathon going on around here. Good thing too, apart from the danger that by a fluke he could become President, an even more scary thought than the bumbling Kerry winning, it’s such a target rich environment!
Richard Fernandez of Belmont Club says at Pajamas Media [I still have trouble not writing 'pyjamas'!]that Obama’s changing positions on Iraq coincide with the interests of his old pal Tony Rezko. Of course it will be dismissed by the Kos Kroud as a smear and a distraction but only because it is so damaging and they’ll try to sweep it under the rug, there being no more room under the bus.

It was bad enough that the Goracle saw fit to put his lucrative amateur long range weather forecasts into a film and then a book, but an opera? On second thoughts since the Global Warming Scam is all smoke and mirrors then the opera house might be the best place to house it. I’m not the only one.
Sphere: Related ContentAl Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth,” first a film and then a book, is becoming an opera. Officials of La Scala in Milan say the Italian composer Giorgio Battistelli has been commissioned to write it for the 2011 season, The Associated Press reported.
Dear Mr. Gore,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on my draft of “Verità Inconveniente.” Rest assured that I and the management of La Scala are committed to a serious presentation of your scientific work. I will try to adopt some of your suggestions, but I hope you appreciate the constraints faced by the composer of an opera that is already five hours long.
I agree it would “round out the résumé” of Prince Algorino in the opening scene if he were to sing about his creation of a communications network. But the “Mio magnifico Internet” aria you propose seems to me a distraction — and frankly out of place in an 18th-century Tuscan village. I believe the peasants’ choral celebration of Prince Algorino’s wisdom suffices to establish his virtues.

"Conjure magic for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom, and still they'll roar. The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the Senate. It's the sand of the Coliseum. He'll bring them death... and they will love him for it."
