Obama's Use of Complete Sentences Stirs Controversy
A source close to the New Yorker reported the President-elect's approach to the English Language in the verbal form may cause some confusion and perhaps raise question of his elitism:
In the first two weeks since the election, President-elect Barack Obama has broken with a tradition established over the past eight years through his controversial use of complete sentences, political observers say.Millions of Americans who watched Mr. Obama's appearance on CBS' "Sixty Minutes" on Sunday witnessed the president-elect's unorthodox verbal tick, which had Mr. Obama employing grammatically correct sentences virtually every time he opened his mouth.
But Mr. Obama's decision to use complete sentences in his public pronouncements carries with it certain risks, since after the last eight years many Americans may find his odd speaking style jarring.
According to presidential historian Davis Logsdon of the University of Minnesota, some Americans might find it "alienating" to have a President who speaks English as if it were his first language.
Israelis Destroying Agricultural assets in Gaza
The BBC is reporting today that the Israeli army has entered the Gaza strip with tanks and bulldozers:The Israeli military has launched an incursion into the Gaza Strip and clashed with Palestinian gunmen there.
Witnesses say the Israeli troops were accompanied by bulldozers which have been destroying agricultural land east of the town of Rafah, in southern Gaza.
There was no immediate reports of any injuries or deaths.
What can an attack on a peoples' food supply be interpreted as, other than terrorism? The food grown does not act politically. Israeli spokespeople said they were looking to disable landmines, but who plants mines with their tomatoes?
The US needs to re-think the support of this administration, or at least conditionalize it's support on more humanitarian practices.

Joe Lieberman To Be Stripped Of Committee Chair?
CT still seems to love this guy. I just don't understand it. If you're blue, and watched Joe, you should not have a lot of love for him, except if you think he hurt McGrumpy's chances by running around with his nose (heck, whole head) up McGrumpy's butt. And if you're red, well, watching this weasel try to reel back to the winning party ought to draw a fair amount of disgust.
Ostracism, after bankrupting him of any status of position held for the Democrats, is entirely appropriate. "Hangin's too good fer 'em."

White House Ordered Waterboarding by CIA
The Washington Post reports today that the Bush administration issued a pair of secret memos to the CIA in 2003 and 2004 that explicitly endorsed the agency's use of interrogation techniques such as waterboarding against al-Qaeda suspects -- documents prompted by worries among intelligence officials about a possible backlash if details of the program became public.
Does it take the CIA off the hook for carrying out torture?
The classified memos, which have not been previously disclosed, were requested by then-CIA Director George J. Tenet more than a year after the start of the secret interrogations, according to four administration and intelligence officials familiar with the documents. Although Justice Department lawyers, beginning in 2002, had signed off on the agency's interrogation methods, senior CIA officials were troubled that White House policymakers had never endorsed the program in writing.Perhaps, but given the fact the CIA already knew that waterboarding wasn't an effective way to get valuable information - a water-boarded detainee will say literally anything to get the torture to stop - the point is moot. They should have pushed back, and said, 'listen, we know how to get information out of people, and it's by respecting their humanity. We don't need to be in the torture game. It is ineffective and demeans us a a country.'

Man behind "Obama is a Terrorist" Line Identified By NY Times
Until this month, the man who is widely credited with starting the cyberwhisper campaign that still dogs Mr. Obama was a secondary character in news reports, with deep explorations of his background largely confined to liberal blogs.
Now we find out he's basically a pimp-for-attention scoundrel with a history of unstable acts.

Time to Ask McCain: "Have You No Sense of Decency Left?"
Last night, Bob Schrum wrote a piece which began:
The McCain campaign crossed the line today from negative character attacks to the kind of character assassination that plays to the basest impulses and incites the most dangerous reaction. We've seen the prelude this week in the McCain crowds and in Sarah Palin's well-rehearsed, carefully telepromptered and increasingly ugly diatribes.
To which one reader responded:
' What a laugh, he doesn't even have control over his own rallies.'
What a laugh, the reader's silly enough to think McGrumpy doesn't know EXACTLY what he's doing! Politics, like growing old, ain't for sissies. And McGrumpy is versed well in both.
Troopergate Report: Palin "Unlawfully Abused Her Authority"
"I think there are some problems in this report," said Republican state Sen. Gary Stevens, a member of the panel. "I would encourage people to be very cautious, to look at this with a jaundiced eye."
Yes sir, you are indeed correct. In this report there are problems for the G.O.P.
No wonder he would recommend viewing it with sick, rather than clear, eyes. They're gonna spin this one large and long.

NYT Editorial: McCain-Palin Have Sunk To "Race-Baiting And Xenophobia"
I too hope McGrumpy's campaign comes up with something a little more honorable to blather about. If only to give the contest a little more of the dignity it deserves.
Last night I was at a meeting where a man came in with a McCain/Palin button, hiding the spot on his shirt where a tie might have gone. I politely asked him whether he was planning to watch the debate, and he didn't think he'd bother, but allowed as someone will probably shoot that Obama guy anyway. I reminded him there are people out there protecting him and kidded him that he shouldn't be overheard saying this stuff.
Know what he said?
"They can't all protect him. No one can protect him."
Someone who can Get It Done should take McGrumpy out IN PUBLIC and call him on this behavior. And demand an appeal from him, sans sarcasm, smiles, and any of the other Moosecrap, that people stop thinking in this fashion
He doesn't get that once you whisper into a lizard's brain, that's all they know.
