Some thoughts for the Week End

Until Shirley Sharrod opened her mouth she actually had my sympathy.  I wrote yesterday about my initial feelings.  But Ms. Sharrod then went on the interview circuit and denounced the usual suspects, Fox News and Anrew Breitbart for all her troubles.

Strange.  We now have the internal memos from Fox News that they were actually leery about running the story.  As I mentioned yesterday, Glenn Beck did not run with it because he did his due diligence and found that the story was not quite what he thought it was.  Bill O’Reilley apologized for his initial report.

Funny that, the White House has yet to apologize for the way they handled the affair.  After all, they were the ones who fired Ms. Sharrod.  And they did it without bothering to get her side of the story.  It was not Breitbart that fired her.  It was not Fox News.  It was the office of the President.  And they were high fiving it for having done so.

It basically goes to the issue that this is the most incompetently run administration that I can remember.  They make Jimmy Carter look good.

That is what we get for voting for someone who has nothing to recommend him for the job.

Another quick thought is on the Journolist scandal.  It seems that major players in the Main Stream Media were openly partisan for Obama to the extent that they refused to report about all the problems that Obama past represented.

Quick, who said that they had been to 57 States?  Was it

A: Sarah Palin,

B: Joe Biden,

C: John McCain? 

None of the above.  It was Barack Obama.  

According to the MSM Barack Obama sent to the Trinity Baptist Church in Chicago for 20 years and did not listen to anything that the Reverend Wright said.  This in spite of the fact that he quoted Reverend Wright in both his autobiographies.  This, in spite of the fact that Reverend Wright married Barack and Michelle.  This, in spite of the fact that Reverend Wright baptised the Obama girls.  That is really amazing.

The climate police want us to get off oil because it is bad for us.  Why don’t they want us to go nuclear?  It clean and safe.  More birds have been killed in wind turbines than on oil rigs.

By the way, the Vikings had a thriving farming community in Greenland for about 300 years, before the Little Ice Age.

Churchill once said that the government cannot spend its way out of a recession.  In economic history the one cure for a recession is tax cuts.  In 1921 the United States had a recession with about 20% unemployment.  By 1923 unemplyment was down to about 5% .  What did the govenment do to accomplish this.  They cut the income tax (and remember at that time only the rich paid income tax.)

Enough ranting for now.  Have a great weekend.
