Surfacing…..

Like Zee in her post below, I have been somewhat mortified that the good old US of A could elect a beginner for President in these complicated times, but there you go, what’s done is done, we have to wait and see how badly the neophyte screws up before being thrown out in 2012. [You'd think I'd be a little circumspect in my predictions, well in the words of the prophet, No Way!] He’s made a good start on the screwing up if reports of Hill as Sec of State and Eric Holder of Marc Rich pardon fame as Attorney General turn out to be true. Goes right along with Wright, Ayers, Rezko and co. The leopard’s spots remain the same.
The media has a lot to answer for in Obama’s victory, what a job they did on Sarah Palin that when given one of O’s or Bidens idiot statements to attribute, they automatically think it must have been her. I hope they get their just reward and I note that the NYT is trading today at $7.08, down from $18.66 one year ago. There is a God.

I have other reasons for not posting much, seven day work week, daughter and grandchildren and all the other everyday activities that take up time. I have played a trick on myself, kept my clocks on summer time, gets me up early in the morning and to bed earlier than would otherwise be the case at night. It’s cool too, I feel like I’m in my own little time/space one hour separated from the rest of the world. it’s restful and liberating at the same time. Am I making too much of it? Well so be it. I like it.

One more reason, it’s November and winter is coming on……

Update. From NRO, comment on the Eric Holder appointment.

He is convinced justice in America needs to be “established” rather than enforced; he’s excited about hate crimes and enthusiastic about the constitutionally dubious Violence Against Women Act; he’s a supporter of affirmative action and a practitioner of the statistical voodoo that makes it possible to burden police departments with accusations of racial profiling and the states with charges of racially skewed death-penalty enforcement; he’s more likely to be animated by a touchy-feely Reno-esque agenda than traditional enforcement against crimes; he’s in favor of ending the detentions of enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay and favors income redistribution to address the supposed root causes of crime.

In any other time, Holder would simply be an uninspired choice. But these are not ordinary times — we face a serious, persistent threat from Islamist terrorists. At the same time, Democrats have expressed outrage over both the alleged politicization of the Justice Department and the reckless disregard of its storied traditions. For these times, it is difficult to imagine a worse choice for AG than Eric Holder.

Much has been made, and appropriately so, of Holder’s untoward performance in the final corrupt act of the Clinton administration: the pardons issued in the departing president’s final hours. Of these, most notorious is the case of Marc Rich, an unrepentant fugitive wanted on extensive fraud, racketeering, and trading-with-the-enemy charges — but granted a pardon nonetheless thanks to the intercession of his ex-wife, a generous donor to Clinton’s library and legal-defense fund.

I wonder how many who voted for Obama knew this is what they’d get.

   The press may have a lot to answer for, but who will make them answer for it. The people? Yeah right, most of them believe the media to be biased, at least i hope they do, but yet they swallowed the lies and bullshit that was tossed up about Palin.

   As long as we allow ourselves to be led around by the nose, they will.

   Nocomproomise, You’re welcome, though it was Zee’s post that linked to you.

   MK, You are right of course, but still the msm are on a downward spiral, the NYT share price is down again this week while the WSJ is actively luring high end advertisers away from it. It’s going to be interesting seeing Obama trying to square the 0 he has made.

   No Compromise
   My apologies for a late response. It seems that I have been having a hard time resuming my blogging duties. But, I’m shaking off the post-election doldrums, for the most part, and do welcome your visit. And yes, as long as the White House is inhabited by an enemy, the flag remains in distress.

   Hi Lig
   I think I am ready to surface again, but damn, as you say, the leopard hasn’t changed his spots and so we are going to be blogging about those freaking spots for at least four more years. If they let us bloggers continue at all. As you say, the press has much to answer for, and I have a feeling their answers will be a lot of convoluted arguments in favor of censorship.

   And yes, Eric Holder is a piece of work isn’t he? The White House is now the Madman’s House and we are in for a four year freak show.

   I think it is likely their awareness that many of us, especially bloggers, are refusing to be led by the nose that will give them incentive to attempt to permanantly attach a leash. The media is now simply another arm of the government and that arm is now clothed in a brown shirt sleeve.
