Blowback’s a glitch in Aspen
Aspen (77 percent for Obama) is completely shocked that he has it out for them. Did they really think they’d be allowed to keep the cash, much less get more, there in Glitter Gulch?

Meet the new war, same as the old war
In a propaganda war, as in all wars, the job isn’t just to make your voice heard, it’s to shut down the other guys’ voice.
“I was told for probably the first time in I don’t know how many years exactly what I was to work on,” said Carlin, a 38-year veteran of the EPA. “And it was not to work on climate change.” One e-mail orders him to update a grants database instead.
Not much has changed, it seems. Read it all.

The only good Indian prosecutor…
is, apparently, a fired Indian prosecutor.
Hopi change seems to be the new Indian Country rule.

Wear a shirt, heat the planet
That’s the nudist take.
So does this mean that the global warmingers should gather au naturel so as to save the planet.
We can only hope that there’s no television coverage.

Iran begs for help
As protesters are shot and their families charged “bullet fees.”
Obama says “Tanks,” but no.
Perhaps the president could send an emissary who knows how to deal with bloodthirsty dictatorships.
Or maybe not.

Good thing they’re not in any axis of evil
or anything. Maybe just an axis of pointedly ironic semiotics.
That, of course, would be much different. After all, Hawaii is used to glowing lava, so what would really be new?

First thing we do is kill the inspectors general!
It ain’t Dick the Butcher, but the principle is the same — get rid of anyone who might stand in the way.

Maybe you’d expect this down under
But there’s one question: Who will do the inspecting?

Iran regime clamps down
Does that mean it has something to hide?
Silly mullahs, there’s a more clever way.

What’s not wrong here?
More than 57 percent of students won’t get to wear caps and gowns at the end of eighth grade (commencement from eighth grade?) at a southside of Chicago “Communication Arts and Science Academy (see photo accompanying story. Proof, perhaps, that there’s more to an academy than a mere name.) Seems the parents can’t agree who bears the fault for the mass failure in English at a “communications academy” on the south side of Chicago.
But wait. the secretary of education used to run things on the south side of Chicago, which is where someone else came from.
Cheap shot? Of course. Read the story, though, then ask, why are no fathers quoted in the story?

Carter’s legacy coming apart
The regime in Tehran is under enormous pressure after the rigged elections were exposed last week. How it all will come out far from clear.
What is clear is that the theocracy installed by Jimmy Carter wants no outside scrutiny.
That doesn’t bode well for the young people of Iran who demanded to speak truth to power.

Shooting breaks out in Iran
Surely the guy who masterminded the kidnapping of Americans and holding them hostage for 444 days would never stoop to shooting the opposition. Except when he would.

New wrinkle in IG firing
Of course the idea is that inspectors general be independent of the administration. They aren’t supposed to go along with the big guy’s cronies.
But maybe it’s not the big guy’s crony who’s the issue.
If you feel like you’ve seen this movie before, it’s only because you just might have.

Move along, nothing to see here
Funny, the last time there was a big election in the Middle East, voters eagerly showed off their purple fingers.
This time around, the finger is back — the middle one.
Which sort of makes you wonder, how long until Jimmy Carter rushes in to call the vote in favor of the dictator?

Al Gore must be readying a speech in Ottowa
Either that or global warming isn’t quite what it’s cracked up to be.
Of course, it could just be that the former Veep doesn’t know climate from canola.

Who needs summer anyway?
Summer won‘t happen, at least for some places in the upper tier of the United States.
So much for warming.
Maybe it has something to do with the sun, which is chillin’ these days.
Still, a year without a summer?

Don’t underestimate this find
Cancer research in Colorado and elsewhere suggests that it might be possible to treat, contain and possibly someday cure lung cancer.
Pfizer is looking to license the drug in about three years.
That assumes, of course, that Pfizer still is in business then.
One thing is for sure, lung cancer will be.

Obama lied, the economy died
This is not all that shocking, really. When you tack on new debt trillions of dollars at a time, people get nervous. They stop buying and start hoarding. As a result, people lose jobs in sales, manufacturing and distributing because the products don’t move at the end of the line.
The real interesting thing here, though, is that the administration and all other analysts (or so Austan Goolsbee says) anticipated that the drop in unemployment would be less precipitous.
Sort like the whole WMD thing. The weapons of mass destruction eluded Bush, the economic cure eluded Obama. In both cases, everyone had access to the same intelligence. Will it come out that Goolsbee told Obama that the borrow-and-spend thing was a “slam dunk?” That’s certainly been the tenor of the president’s statements - Sure it would be tough, but he would succeed where FDR had failed by spending more money much faster.
It is certain, though, that Obama was told his plan was a slam-dud.
The thing is, of course, that there were other voices crying out that Obama’s tack wouldn’t turn the economy. Turned out one didn’t have to be Ph.D. to figure it out, either.
Shake it any way you like, it’s pretty clear that by current standards, Obama lied and the economy died.

Capital punishment for cereal lawyers?
Sorry to be a bit frosty, but Janine Sugawara’s effort to sink her teeth, in a purely financial and legal sense, into Cap’n Crunch seems a bit over the top.
The amazing thing is that she got what are purported to be real lawyers to file this insipid drivel. The distressing thing is that the court didn’t sanction the lawyers to the point of limiting their meal choices to bread and water - and go easy on the bread.
Beware, Count Chocula. You could be next in the dock when these lawyers find out you’re not a real vampire.

“Screw-ups happen”
So says John Deutch of the inadvertent posting of a “highly confidential” report listing hundreds of civilian nuclear sites and programs in the United States.
And not a mere list, either. The posting, since taken down, included maps to stockpiles of fuel for nuclear weapons.
It was taken down Monday. Notably in its absence is any information as to when the report was posted, though it was forwarded to Congress on May 5.
Deutch might know best in this case. He’s the guy who kept CIA files on an unprotected computer at his home during his stint at director of central intelligence during the Clinton administration. That, too, was a “screw-up.”
As was this, perhaps?

Good thing that whole “Crusader” thing is over
Er, it’s not.
Will the president address the murder and, almost as important, the explanation in his speech in Egypt?

I’m a proud mother. My child finally called and told me I was right about Obama. Wowzer! He now sees that our President is not who he claimed to be. His language was a twisted lie and the suckers bought it. Kinda like fishing, use right bait

Jimmy Carter has to be one of the dumbest presidents we’ve ever had. Some of the problems in Iran in the 70’s he helped cause (thus our problems today, so why doesn’t he just eat his peanuts and shut it up.

Jimmy Carter has to be the dumbest president on record. To think I even toyed with the idea of voting for him but luckily regained my convictions in the voting booth. What a double crossing jerk. Didn’t he cause enough trouble in Iran in the 70’s?
