A lot going on:
- Herman Cain not dropping out. Allen West says he’s become a distraction and should exit. Whether justified or not, the allegations are causing an implosion in New Hampshire.
- Eric Holder punches up at Daily Caller.
- Iranians need to stop looting the English Embassy, the British one too.
- So will the 35% of Dems who believe Bush knew about 9/11 in advance also believe that FDR was in on Pearl Harbor?
- Looks like the mysterious confirmed then denied then who knows what explosion in Iran the other day may have damaged its nuclear processing facility.
- No Christmas tree for you, Rhode Island.
- “Unexpected” headline of the day – Muslim Brotherhood says wants to form gov’t. I’ll have more on this, but too busy this afternoon for a separate post.
- Was the Romney interview on Fox the moment Romney’s chances of winning stop rising? You’ll never guess who thinks it might. And who is feeling sorry for him.
- Some good advice for Obama.

Hey Rhode Island … Look at Japan!!

LukeHandCool (whose Japanese mother-in-law was disappointed a couple years ago when she visited L.A. at Christmas time expecting to see wondrous festive displays … and remarked that Japan’s cities had much better and ubiquitous Christmas displays).
P.S. Scroll down to see beautiful Christmas images around Japan while fretting that perhaps Japan is becoming a Christian theocracy??!!!??
Michael Barone should have written a piece covering Mitt’s reliving the years as Massachusetts governor instead of the 1950’s.
The Christmas Tree/holiday tree thing is getting a little out of hand. Christmas has become as much cultural as it is religious, many secular countries and even our own federal government recognize it as a civil holiday. While I don’t intend to impugn its importance to Christians, Christmas is celebrated widely by many categories of non-Christians. In the US (according to a 2008 Gallup poll) 81% of Americans are Christian, yet fully 93% celebrate Christmas.
I generally feel pretty strongly about separation of church and state, but there’s a point where it just gets ridiculous.
[…] interview there with Herman Cain. Thank you for that reporting.UPDATE V: Linked at POH Diaries and Legal Insurrection — thanks!Just got an e-mail from Cain campaign chief of staff Mark Block, acknowledging he […]
As a Jew growing up in Rhode Island in the late 50’s/early 60’s the best time of year was Christmas in Garden City (Cranston). Rhode Island was founded by Roger Williams so that he and others could freely practice their religion. The “separation of church and state” argument is absurd, especially when the Governor used it as the reason for NOT having the tree. Isn’t the freedom to exercise ones religion the FREEDOM to exercise it? There’s a difference between allowing the tree and forcing everyone to believe in a particular doctrine. What a freaking idiot.
So Rep. West wants Cain to drop out because he’s become a “distraction”? You realize that if you allow the media to drive a black conservative out of the public eye through constant bogus charges, it will never stop. Indeed I wouldn’t be surprised if women started popping up, to start making charges against West, in his next reelection run.
west clarified that a bit later on, not as damning as it actually sounds.
