Nightly Ramble: Perky, All That From One Olympic Torch? Hyrbids And the Blind, More.

  • Look, I for one could care less about The Perky One [1], unless she wants to appear on ‘The Nude News”…(Just so I can see how far that perkiness extends, mind) But this bit with her and CBS was doomed from the start as I told you here, two years ago. The issue with CBS news is not now, nor has it ever been, the personality in the big chair. The big issue now is how far left the place leans. We hear she’s considering taking over for Larry “Ask the question” King leaves. As to the degree of Couric’s involvement with the furthering of that leftist image of CBS, let me just say this: A stint on King, where the illusion of bias is less damaging and thereby less important, will expose that bias, removing whatever doubt there may have been on the subject.
  • Why is a group of people involved in a sect, using a temple for sex with young girls [2]a bad thing, and Bill Clinton using the Oval office for sex with young girls NOT a bad thing?
  • There may be good reason to ground all those MD-80s in this case, and perhaps there is not. I honestly don’t know, not having followed the particulars on that one closely. But the financial damage being done to American Airlines as a result must be attended, and studied. This is perhaps a bad example, but I think it does illustrate how a ruling can affect day to day operations of a private business. And can you imagine the fallout that is created in much smaller ways in smaller venues on a daily basis because of arbitrary, or vindictive rulings on the part of government agencies everywhere, and at ever level of government? Or even well meaning ones? As I say, there may have been a good reason for this one… and I’m inclined to given them the benefit of the doubt, here. But the damages from this will not be short term, nor will they be cheap.  Things may in fact get worse, if it’s found that the call to ground all those MD80’s was needless. But even absent all that, this situation illustrates well the adverse effects on our very financial survival, one ruling from the government can have.
  • The terrorists have confirmed the meeting [3]being scheduled with Jimmy Carter. Assuming they don’t do their Nick Berg number on Carter…(I doubt it; many would consider it a service to the western world, so there’s no danger of that) the man should be arrested and jailed.
  • We won’t see this story [4]after the next couple of days, unlike other stories of it’s kind. Why? The principal isn’t a leggy blonde.
