Stop Disrespecting My President

First it was Bibi Netanyahu stating that Israel will not go back to the 1967 borders.

Now it is the Queen of England refusing to click glasses.

Maybe she was upset that he had to read his toast from index cards, or maybe it was protocol.

I don’t care.  He is my President, and I...

No, actually, I may need to beg for a pardon:
The White House has named Jesse Lee to a new position within its communications department titled Director of Progressive Media & Online Response. According to The Huffington Post, Lee will essentially be responsible for building up Obama’s online presence as he...

Just a quick follow up to my post Bye-Bye Brown.

I had a Volvo 240 wagon for 14 years.  I hated to let go of it, but the time had come.  I sold it in 2003, and the person who bought it from me still has it on the road.  The engine pretty much can run forever.

I always thought of the 240 as a Series around which Naderite liberals and cheap-as-hell capitalists (like me) could unite.

The Lessons of NY-26

Posted by    Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 7:05am

Democrat Kathy Hochul won NY-26, a Republican District, in a special election yesterday, with 48 % of the vote.  Jane Corwin, the Republican received 42% and phony Tea Party candidate Jack Davis 9%.  These percentages may change as there are several thousand absentee ballots, but the result is not in doubt.

During a visit today, Obama signed the guest book at Westminster Abbey “24 May, 2008.”

I’m impressed that he got the month and day correct.

This will be about a three hour laugh.

Had it been [insert name of random Rebublican here] it would have been a three week media blitz, followed by a three month...

I’ll have more on Bibi Netanyahu’s speech to a Joint Session of Congress later.  For now, I’ll quote reader Deborah who e-mailed me as follows:

As I listened to the live broadcast of Bibi Netanyahu’s speech, I thought to myself that HE’s reminding us of who we are. We’re NOT the moral...

Commencement season is upon us, which means that insipid celebrities of all flavors will bestow their opinions upon a new generation of bright-eyed college grads. Notable was former President Bill Clinton. His prose at the NYU graduation read like so:today’s business schools are teaching the students to always put profits...

So Tell Me About Mitt Romney

Posted by    Tuesday, May 24, 2011 at 10:28am

I’ve been dreading this day, because even when I asked you to tell me about other candidates, you told me about Mitt Romney.

While the MSM tells us that Sarah Palin is the most divisive Republican, I don’t think that’s true in the Republican primaries.

Please hold on one second while I...

Marc Ambinder serves as the Obama campaign messenger of the day, with an uncritical account of what Team Obama supposedly believes as to the Republican field. 

You will not be surprised to find that Team Obama was most concerned with a candidate who is not running:

Better to discuss whether the pre-1967 borders are on the table while Obama’s reelection still is on the table

Is there any doubt that Obama will put the screws on Israel to come close to doing what people like Jeffrey Goldberg insist “my President” will not do, which is force Israel to make dangerous concessions? 

When there is no reelection on the horizon, when Jewish...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at AIPAC last night.

It takes a few minutes for him to get into a groove, but it’s worth the watch. The speech was interrupted several times by hecklers who were escorted out. The money line comes at the start of Part II of the...

You don’t need me.  You have $7 million plus in the bank, and as of now, you’re the most popular politician in Massachusetts.

I’m just a small-time, part-time, squeeze-in-posts-between-real-life, blogger.

Why Not Put The 1948 Borders On The Table?

Comments
Permalink
Posted by    Monday, May 23, 2011 at 2:33pm

Why are the pre-1967 borders of Israel, which amount to the 1949 armistice lines, so sacrosanct?

Once you buy into the narrative of exclusive Palestinian victimization, once you take the Helen Thomas view which is widely accepted in many circles that Israel is an alien European implant, once you view the desire...
