WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF “OBSESSION” - AND NO, WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE PERFUME…...

Maybe the interest that some on the left and in the media (but, I repeat myself) take in Neocons qualifies…...

Here is John Podhoretz reacting to Joe Klein’s column about Chas Freeman’s (Ambassador from Saudi Arabia) resignation, only the most recent example of the phenomenon under scrutiny:

As I say, truly astounding. Barack Obama, the anti-neocon, wins 66 million votes and 53 percent. Members of his party control the House of Representatives by a 50 vote margin and are nearly filibuster-proof in the Senate. And still a small cabal of people who — get this! — have the nerve to write articles and blog items quoting the words of the man appointed to head the National Intelligence Council on matters as various as the wonders of the Saudis, the glories of the suppressors of Tienanmen, and the responsibility of the United States for 9/11! See us work our kabbalistic Yiddische magic on the hapless liberals who only think they are in control in Washington!

WHAT DOES A TRILLION DOLLARS LOOK LIKE?

I don’t think ANY of us really know what a trillion means…..despite the fact that the number is being thrown around with abandon, these days.  I remember when a $400,000,000,000.00 (four hundred billion dollars) was an UNCONSIONABLE deficit…..but that was a long time ago - back when a Republican was in the White House.  Now, the government can commit to spending well over one trillion dollars it doesn’t have (meaning it will borrow or print the money), and (almost) everyone is cheering. 

Anyhow, thanks to Jonah Goldberg at THE CORNER, I’ve been to a website where one can see in a very graphic fashion the full reality of $1,000,000,000,000.00 (one trillion dollars).  Get ready, because it’s a little bit shocking.  OK…..(I’m not making this up).....(don’t say I didn’t warn you)........HERE IT IS.

MORAL COURAGE SOMETIMES INVOLVES REFUSING EVEN TO ASSOCIATE WITH EVIL…..

...and isn’t it wonderful when it shows up?

This is the newest Courage Award….a mathematician (from Canada, yet) cancels his gig at a sister institution because RYERSON UNIVERSITY hosted a branch of ISRAEL APARTHEID WEEK (or IAW), one of more than 25 (in 2008) around Canada.  The week is intended to help people understand that the locus of evil in the Middle East is its only multiparty democracy….the country where Jews and Arabs serve side-by-side in a freely-elected legislature. 

During the week, 

Lectures, films, and actions will make the point that these latest massacres further confirm the true nature of Israeli Apartheid. IAW 2009 will continue to build and strengthen the growing Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement at a global level.

Sounds to me as if Waterloo College might be a good school to attent—provided there is at least one professor of Dr. Vrscay’s quality and discernment…..

So, what’s the matter with you?  Isn’t a “skyrocketing” cost for heating your home JUST what you need right now?  But, your nation is in danger!!  Don’t you think you should sacrifice?

Bad news…..you may not get a choice, because of the election results last November.  Hope you aren’t feeling like a sucker!
