What I’m Reading Instead of Working

PostTask is keeping me remarkably on track, because the notice that, based on my current task list “There are 12:25 h left! You could be done by 9:56 pm.” has a tendency to sober me right up and keep me from fooling around too much. The phone’s going to be ringing and emails coming in with new tasks, but if I can narrow the gap and only carry six hours of work over to tomorrow, I’ll be satisfied. Still, I had to at least read my “Favorites” folder in Google reader before I declared RSS bankruptcy. Half an hour of bloggy goodness before I start to slog through the task list.
On the Obama front - come on, does anyone really believe there’s a Michelle Obama “whitey” video? Can she really be that stupid? I think it’s another Karl Rove frogmarch fantasy. The guy who’s promoting the rumor - and reaping tons of traffic from it - is a known crank who is thoroughly in the tank for Hillary, and obviously she benefits a great deal from these rumors. Tens of thousands of hits later, he’ll find a way to weasel out of it. Also - don’t ANY of Obama’s friends like America? Now we’re “America is the greatest sin against God“? That word, sin… I don’t think it means what he thinks it means.
More media newspeak:
recession (noun)- an undefined, unprovable crisis due to George Bushitler’s economy of hate. Women, children, minorities, hardest hit. All we can do is raise taxes and hope for the best.
This is the second “recession” where the economy has not actually, you know, recessed. I miss the days when words had meanings.
I also miss the days when the media reported actual facts; I caught this AP article also and practically gnashed my teeth in frustration. The new “truth” is that Plame was outed by Rove and Libby. Armitage who? Oh - Armitage, McCain’s buddy. Armitage is a viper, and I’m sorry to say that Colin Powell is implicated as well. McClellen has a fact problem in the Plame department too; he glosses over the truth to conform to the narrative. Is he bucking for a job on MSNBC?
Obama, Clinton, and McCain are all saying the g-word. So once the UN arrives, the remaining people of Darfur can take a break from being slaughtered and starved in order to be raped. Well, my grandmother used to say a change is as good as a rest. But you have to admit, when the UN is the solution, the problem is nearly beyond hope. And you thought oil-for-food was a scandal? That was because they hadn’t gotten into the carbon offset business yet. And if the Senate and John McCain get their way, we’ll be following along.
The Danes will still not submit.
Retrosexuals - a welcome change from metrosexuals.
“Universal” health care - rationing and penalties to force everyone down to the same low standard.
Finally and most importantly, keep an eye on Mark Steyn’s attempted kidnapping today. Believe it or not, this is a major battle in the war to defend western civilization.
I had forgotten all about that.
