The Will of the People
Before we get to the substance of today’s post, some quick nuggets:
I just returned to reality from Las Vegas, NV. Vegas is not a parallel universe; it is an alternate universe. You go there and nothing else in the real world seeps through. Okay, sports scores get through, that’s about it. Home and rested now, so I post after an 8-day absence.
It’s been bugging me ever since Imus was fired by CBS and now it seems so silly to mention, but I want to be on record, so I suggest that Sen. Barack Obama was tipped-off by folks inside NBC and CBS that they were going to fire Imus so it could look like his influence affected the decision. I mean, this guy cannot take a strong stand on anything, well unless poll numbers support it by 70%, and two hours after he calls for NBC and CBS to fire Imus, NBC announces they’re pulling him off MSNBC? C’mon? A full 7 1/2 days after the offensive comments, about 180 hours in total, Obama beats the announcement by mere hours. I thought it was very suspicious. Oh, my Gosh, I’m Rosie!
Mr. Alec Baldwin is still employed by NBC.
Obama was against the war from the beginning. Hillary has said over and over and over and over that “based on the facts at the time” she stands by her decision to vote for the war. So, if the evidence is compelling enough to convince Hillary to vote for war, is Obama really the guy that we want protecting Americans in the face of such “facts”. Or, just how dumb is Hillary? Isn’t it one or the other? Please, can a liberal extremist walk the meandering tightrope and explain how Obama and Hillary are both supported by fact, logic and intelligence?
The Saudis arrested 172 terrorists today. So they say. Wow, that’s a lot of terrorists. Would not a country struggling to convince the United States of America that it was a serious partner in the war against terrorists arrest juuusssst about 172 terrorists to make such a point? Yes, Rosie in 'da house.
The meat of today’s post, the follow-up letter to the Wall Street Journal which published its letters on the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent pro-life ruling in today’s (April 27) paper:
Editor,
I’m surprised and very disappointed that you chose to publish a letter that began, “I’m not surprised but very disappointed in your position supporting the (U.S.) Supreme Court’s ban on certain late abortions (Abortion Decision: Court Should Not Take Away Patient’s Choice, letters, April 27).” Of course, the Partial Birth Abortion Ban of 2003 (the Ban) is not the U.S. Supreme Court’s but the U.S. Congress’s and the President’s, or in other words, the People’s! The U.S. Supreme Court did nothing more than rule that the will of the People was constitutional.
Twice disappointed that you only published two letters on the ruling and that both letters contained the same, tired, pro-abortion whine – “government” doesn’t know better than an abortionist. I don’t know who or what the letter writers think is “government” but the Ban was passed in the U.S. Senate 64 – 34, in the U.S. House 281 – 142 and signed by a popularly elected President who actively campaigned on a culture of life platform. In this case, “government” most certainly means the People.
Thrice disappointed, my letter submitted on April 20 would have been the perfect letter to run opposite the two letters you chose to publish. I repeat the entire, two-word, letter here for it was appropriate to be published on April 27 and it perfectly captures the essence of the two paragraphs above: Elections matter. (End of letter.).

just remember, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...
Good to have you back, ZR. I agree w/most of your comments although I think you're stretching the Obama/Imus connection. Glad to see you didn't leave your humor, sarcasm and wit in LV. Enjoyed the post.
Simply, if I were a member of the "inquistive" liberal media, I'd ask Sen. Obama if he was tipped-off. If he says he wasn't, which he would, I'd ask why he waited 175 hours before he expressed an opinion. What changed? What new information came to light about the "foul"? You see, nothing came to light after the fact. The foul was a completely stand-alone event precipitated by nothing and followed by nothing. You hear the foul and react. No, not this guy. He waits 175 hours and responds and then! lo and behold! exactly as he responded is the way the CBS and NBC acted. Amazing! Great leadership that!
On another matter, I have not read or heard a single word from the Rev. Al Sharpton, capitalizing on his new found megaphone, calling for African-Americans to take advantage of Brown.
