this editorial was pushed my way this morning, i'd never seen it. but i sure as hell can't refute any of it. ps. thanks canada for doing what the american media wont do.


Barack fools us

Whole world will pay for America's electoral mistake


by Michael Coren [available online, Toronto Sun]




A young student friend e-mailed me on Tuesday night.

"Have locked myself in my room because the place is full of little idiots -- who cannot spell Barack Obama's name and could not name one of his foreign or domestic policies -- running around screaming obscenities about George Bush, conservatives and how Sarah Palin is a bitch. I love democracy!"

Even so, the people spoke. A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but would not dare attack genuinely powerful special interest groups. A victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere.

A victory for the cult of the cult. A man who has done little with his life but has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth. Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over reality.

A victory for Hollywood, the most dysfunctional community in the world. Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros and Sarandon.

Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to independence. For those who settle for group think and herd mentality rather than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to be out of step with meagre political fashion.

Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom. He and his people have already stated that media has to be controlled so as to be balanced, without realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement. Like most liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are drastically liberal and anti-conservative.

Senior Democrat Chuck Schumer said that just as pornography should be censored, so should talk radio. In other words, one of the few free and open means of popular expression may well be cornered and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot tolerate any criticism and opposition.

WEAK TOWARD ENEMIES

A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children than the family, for those who prefer teachers' unions to teaching and for those who are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face of a leftist celebrity.

A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the painful conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure, unemployment, inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation. A victory for intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and urban snobs.

Also a defeat for one of the weakest presidential candidates in living memory.

Why would anyone vote for a man who seemed incapable of outlining his policies and instead repeatedly emphasized a noble but, if we are candid, largely irrelevant war record?

He was joined by a woman who was defended so vehemently by her supporters when it was cuttingly evident that she is years away from being, and perhaps never will be, a serious candidate for senior national office.

Most of all it was a terrible defeat for democracy and the United States. A politician of nothing defeated a nothing politician and a credulous electorate screamed in adoration. I fear we will all suffer very much indeed.

So a small iPhone update for anyone that cares to read. It's surprising how well I have integrated this gadget into my daily habits already. granted I'm sure a good portion of that underlying reason is discovery of features and fascination in general. But with less than a week of use I've probably sent 30% of my text messages for the month. Which surprises me. Sure I still send the bulk of them off and on to one person, but I find I'd send longer messages now and with more numerous responses to peoples comments. Plus I do kinda like the ability to update my blog on the road now ( of course on a year I get no real vacation ) and I'm an absolute junkie for the built in / ship in Weather App. Seriously. No waiting for the news no papers no websites, just the current conditions and a five day forecast sent for my zip code updated as often as I wish to check it. Stupefyingly simple, yet practical.

Enough of that.

Other things:

We officially coronated the King of the United States today. If you take offense to that; I hope you keep reading. Because, lets cut the shit off the turd here people; if you honestly think this means something, it doesn't. If you think this is the end to economic disparity in the wild; note that the DOW dropped 500 points since his official installation. If you think it was a "people's showing" of affection, remind yourself in a cash strapped country, we dropped 172 million; dollars just to put this fucking freak show circus on the road. Mad? I am. Thats like being shaken down for a buck by a boy in a girl scout outfit. Something isn't right. It's about the same as ripping a buck from every tax paying US citizen just for this. To spend on himself. Great start in my book, from a guy who says says he isn't going to raise taxes, but between him and his vice president can't figure out what the cut off is, or how it works. And don't start me on the new presidential Cadillac limo. Thats just a matter of national security. Riiiiight.

We granted him his crown, and his plush robes. What have we been granted in response? Judging by the garbage run on the boob tube the past couple days, its some sort of reborn MLK. King had beliefs. This guy? He has Chicago politics in his socialisim lined suit pockets. We were treated to equality? Really. Hes arab folks. But since skin tone doesn't matter in our advanced minds, obviously we aren't looking at that.... are we media? Are we? Definetly not in every carefully panned shot of the clearly black americans, tears and hankies in hand, sprayed all over the screen today. Give me a break. These people that profess love for this guy, are potentially even bigger lunatics than he and his pack of handlers are. In love with what? The same way I love donuts? The same way I love my landlord? The same way I love my country? Clearly not. When people ask me why I sound so bitter about the whoel mess, I remind them, that just how little of and effect a president actually has on their daily life. When the Great Messiah of the Masses tells you he's going to cut taxes; he can't. That's Congress. When He, The Holy of Holyness, tells you hes going to "change how we do things", tell yourself that hes just changing WHO is doing things, but the same shit will happen. When He, of He's sermons on world peace and global warming; remind your self people are dying just to start new wars, and no one, can stop the course of nature. Remind yourself, like we need to every generation when this gets out of hand, that he is a man, among men, that all are fallible. You entrust the peace and security of the nation and of the world, to a man whom is wise and, able bodied and practical. This is a man who is younger than our parents. For me, by more than 10 years. Corruption will occur, scandals will happen, poor judgment will abound. Lets just not all rush to wipe our feet off his red carpet when you realize you stepped in a big pile of "love." Hussein Obama will not pay your mortgage for you. He wont hold your hand and kiss you when you die of cancer. He wont cradle your children when your house burns down in a forrest fire. He will dive in front of the cameras, he will play up your repulsive sense of attraction to him, and it will all sing the praises of His Greatness' Greatness.

In other words.

So freaking what?

I haven't seen anything to make me ooooh and aaaaah over. I haven't seen one solid policy produced. I haven't seen anything designed and implemented by his hands alone, that he couldn't some how shrink back to the 'workshop' with his handlers to service. What I have seen is a man, who was elected to the US Senate that showed up for less than 200 instances in a six year term, who belongs to a racially divisive church, who keeps a private prayer minister who is openly linked to a known harbinger of terrorism [hamas], who some how has everyone eating out of his hand. Remember. Hes just the president. How many times has the president brought YOU breakfast in bed? Or bought you your soda at the machine because you were short a quarter? Lets get realistic about this. Have your day, but it all starts at zero in the morning.

Well it's not that I can't do this from my box that's three feet away from me: but I'd thought I'd give this truely moblogging thing a shot. So here I am direct from cyberspace via my cellular network via my iPhone with no middle man, is my post!

Neato.

Now before everyone starts up with me about my typical anti apple stance (which makes this whole experience ironic) let me state for the record that I had no intention of getting an iPhone. none. I had never even touched one before I wandered into my cell shop. I had planned on getting something from rim or the samsung epix really for the keyboard and wifi abilities. Touch screen was nice as an incidental feature but I wasn't (and am still on the fence) crazy about touch screen ONLY devices. For obvious reasons that my large fingers wish to stay silent on.

But after talking it over with the sales rep (whom yes was hot) I casually looked over the iPhone features. Which when you combine physical form factor with features at pricing made it suddenly an attractive device. So I played so more. With bluetooth (which I'll never go with out again) wifi 3g network Internet and a way to peg my real world email in my phone, I gave it a go.

So far the downsides are what they thought they were. I'm not crazy about touch screen everything. And I have a disdain for the frustratingly apple over simplification of every thing. And I have an out and out hatred for iTunes as my sole pc link. But life isn't bad. Apps help. My typing and err correction software are getting along better than I thought. And lastly I love the interconnectedness I get with this thing. So post one here we are!
