It has been a week. A plane with a lot of people fell out of the sky. The various governments have been very quiet, the way governments are when there is something to cover up. There is now speculation that UFOs were involved. While this may seem a bit flaky, it makes as much sense as some of the other stories.
The attempt to jumpstart the mercifully quiet career of eminem continues. That was not a UFO that landed on his face during the MTV awards, although questions about the origin of Borat/Bruno are to be expected.
Another media personality that will not go away was featured at another blog. Sarah Palin gave a speech, introducing Michael Reagan. If you have too much free time….
One of those pesky blogs has a series about President Reagan this week. The lead quote:“He was an actor, and he understood there was somebody who planned the lighting, somebody who built the set and wrote the script.” Like Spencer Tracy said, Remember your lines and don’t trip over the props. Dick Van Dyke only heard the first part.
Meanwhile, in Cairo, the Reagan of the new age gave a speech. BHO has this thing about blockbuster speeches. While America is getting bored, the rest of the world is a fresh audience. If this speech does for USA-Islam relations what his race speech did for black-white relations…
A blogger called Sandmonkey copped a ticket to the Cairo speech. His take: “The speech was everything was expected and more. The guy achieved his goals and executed it effectively and brilliantly. It was big on comfort and platitudes, and short on substance, but really, what does one expect other than that from an Obama speech?If you are going to see Obama, you are going to watch an expert showman. Just don’t expect much beyond entertainment.”
SM then left the hall, and was confronted with the spectacle of code pink. The ladies were carrying signs about Israeli conduct in Gaza. This might be more appropriate than you think, considering the help Egypt has given Israel in Gaza Roast. And some still say that Israel is the only ally America has in the Middle East.
There is  more to report, but between the internet, cable television, and the surviving newspapers, Chamblee 54 is confident you can keep up. If you choose to go to New Bethel Church in Louisville, Ky, Pastor Ken Pagano has organized an “Open Carry Celebration“. You are encouraged to bring a handgun to church. No one is speculating what impact this will have on the offering.
