AND SOMETIMES A GUY NAMED "WRIGHT" GETS IT ALL WRONG
"Jesus was a poor black man...." Well, I guess that's a lie of convenience when, like the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, you've given honors to Louis Farrakhan, who has some, er, problems with Jews and their "gutter religion".....
Note: It is everywhere claimed that Farrakhan never actually called Judaism a "gutter religion" -- only a "dirty religion." Well that's completely different. One customer/reviewer of Arthur J. Magida's Prophet of Rage: A Life of Louis Farrakhan and His Nation, over at Amazon.com, sets us straight on the origin of this apocryphal insult. What Minister Farrakhan really said was,
...to practice judaism, which is following the doctrine of the law of moses the lawgiver in the old testament of the bible, according to orthodox jews is the true judaism. To exploit people, particularly BLACK people, feeding on them and taking money out of the BLACK community charging exorbitant prices for cheaply made goods and services, is someone that is practicing a gutter religion by using BLACK people to enrich the jewish community.Ah. You see how these things can get blown all out of proportion?
GOOD THING NOBODY AT THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN HAS NOTICED ANY OF THIS RACE STUFF GOING ON AT OBAMA'S CHRISTIAN
WHAT CAN BROWN DO FOR YOU?
Army Spc. MONICA BROWN, a medic, wins the Silver Star for Valor for saving lives in Afghanistan.
Maybe we won't have a woman president this time around, but maybe, maybe......
WHILE, ON THE OTHER HAND....
WHAT GENIUS SUGGESTED THIS GUY TO
HEAD UP THE MIDDLE EAST COMMAND?
Admiral William "Fox" Fallon was promoted from his job as chief underminer of U.S./China policy at the Pacific Command, to undermining U.S. Middle East policy over at CINCCENT. Now he be outta here. "Resigned" was the euphemism, I think.
Max Boot weighs in as to why he got the boot, at the L.A. Times. Fred Kaplan gives the broad picture at Slate.com. Everybody would have us believe that Fallon's no fool, but the fact that he invited Esquire magazine to lick his toes, and that he seems to have a Nancy Pelosi-esque grasp of the success of the Surge, makes us wonder if it depends on what your definition of "fool" is. (Especially if his disdain of the surge has more to do with disdain for General Petraeus than for the facts on the ground.)
Maybe we'll get the real story if Fallon gives another interview at AL-FREAKING-JAZEERA.
What genius, I ask you? Why, I believe it's that Bob Gates fellow, who all in all would probably rather be at A & M. He has struck me as a bit weenie from the get-go, and seems to be determined to fulfill my worst nightmare that he's just another failed Texas crony of W's. Oy. Well, at least Fallon resigned instead of staying on, lying low, and then whining publicly about bad ideas that weren't his fault (see Lt. Gen Ricardo Sanchez --- WA-A-A-A-A-H-H-H-H! )
