MJ is gone, but not forgotten. The rest of the news is kinda rotten.
In Iran, the protest and bash cycle is starting up again. In Israel, Mr. Netanyahu is acting strange. ( It might not be acting). It would be a natural move for him to start a war with Iran, or maybe a feel good crackdown in Gaza. He has the bomb.
Back in the YouEssAA, the pundits just won’t leave Sarah Palin alone. Andrew Sullivan posted a few words on why he won’t let up. His thesis is that a woefully deficient woman was almost elected Vice President, and he doesn’t like that.
To PG, this is too little and too late. In 2000, George W. Bush ran for president against Al Gore. W turned out to be a dangerous mistake. Maybe, if the press had scrutinized him with the vigor they are showing Mrs. Palin, W would have lost the election.
There have been indications that 911 was motivated by a personal grudge against the Bush family. If Al Gore had won the election, 911 might not have happened. Even if it had, it is reasonable to speculate that Gore’s reaction would have been more competent. There is a good chance Mr. Gore would not have invaded Iraq to punish Saudi Arabia.
Of course, the failure of the W regime is one reason why the McCain-Palin ticket went down in flames. And, at the end of his administration, BHO may look just as bad as W did in 2008. BHO is going to make mistakes, and the special interests that control him are essentially the same ones that controlled W. In 2016, Sarah Palin may look like a good alternative.
Maybe she quit because she is pregnant again.
