Nightly Ramble: Flag Pin, Gas, More Unions, Guns to Work, More.

  • Has anyone noticed? Ace did… Obama’s back to wearing a flag pin. [1]Boy, I could make a whole seperate post on the stuff we have on file from when this subject first came up. So does Ben Smith [2]. My take is he’s trying to repair the damage done by what’s leaked out of his true nature. Sorry, Senator, I’m not buying it.  we remember what you said [3]:

    “You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a pin,” Obama said. “Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq War, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest.

    So is it a substitute now, Senator? Given what else you’ve shown us about how far out of touch you are with most americans, is this pin’s return you trying to make out like you’re one of us? again, No sale, Senator.

  • Boortz makes my point [4] for me about the costs of food vs the subsidy of ethenol.
  • I commnted earlier today on Union thugs, in Buffalo. Watch for unions to play large in the Northwest/Delta merger. It’s the only reason I can see for Oberfuher Oberstar [5]getting into this mix.  Which places Oberstar in what kind of company, do yo suppose?
  • I see where Florida has enacted the ‘bring your gun to work’ bill [6]. Good.
  • In retrospect on Basra, Captain Ed suggests [7]that the press screwed up, bigtime… again, and perhaps intentionally.
  • I commented here several weeks back about how undersea fiber data cables keep getting cut. Apparently, they’ve figured out who did it. [8]  It’s not terrorism in this case, just simple stupidity.
  • And yeah, the Pope is in country [9].  Im not really sure what to make of all this.  He’s doing and saying all the right things, and he’s certainly a brave soul, given the islamic terrorist threat.  But there’s something missing I can’t quite put my finger on.
  • Village Voice [10]has put up a leftwing guide for right of center blogs.
    ORIENTATION:Moonbat.
    TONE: Dain Brammaged.
    CANDIDATE: Fidle Castro
    STUPID/EVIL RATIO: 50/50. Totally Evil, but too stupid to know it.
    HISTORY:These open minded inDUHviduals called for an execution of all Republicans a while ago.
    MODUS OPERANDI: Attack anything that comes down politically to the right of their candidate, while claiming to be open-minded.  Doesn’t have to make sense, it just has to be loud.
    WHAT TO EXPECT: Nausea
  • And yes, I guess you’ll have to see the artcile to know what all this is about.
