Nightly Ramble: Notes And Quick Thoughts

  • When I saw a headline like:The Hand That Controls the Sock Puppet Could Get Slapped, in the New York Times, I must admit that my immediate thought was that Gang Greenwald [1] was finally going to get his comeuppance.  Then I remembered I was talking about the New York Times, and looked again.  Turns out, and they’re talking about John McKey of Whole Foods. [2] Oh, well. One step at a time, I suppose. It interests me, though, that their morality in reporting is so selective; Why MacKey, (A capitalist) and not Greenwald?
  • And when they said that authorities had rescued a 500-lb man from a Wisconsin river [3], I figured we were talking about Micheal Moore. You know… the one who’s trying to get us to pay for his healthcare. No such luck.
  • So, where does the un-American left get the idea that the Bush administration knew about the middle of an attack before they happened, and let them happened so that we could get involved in a war?  Why, from their hero, of course [4]. These connections, had been there for decades, folks.
  • Chuck Simmins [5] reminds me of someone I saw on the local cable news channel yesterday, and forgot to write about. We have heroes among us.
  • The DJIA went over the 14,000 mark today. [3] remember a couple of years ago when the Dow was stalling it somewhere around 10,000, and people were quick to blame the president’s economic policies for a supposedly ‘failing economy’?  Well, here it is… by any objective measure, we have what is amounting to the best economy in this nation’s history.  So, where are the press and others who are so critical of the President, today?
