Friday

HAPPY Batman Day! My son, now at the work program at College of the Ozarks, got invited by some school chums to go see The Dark Knight last night at midnight. He did. He said it was great and he can't wait to see it again.
But, you would have guessed that.

TODAY I got to do some voice work which is something I have wanted to do for a long time. I can not say much about it now, but maybe later.
I will let you know.

AT lunch today I heard Limbaugh's guest host (Mark Davis?) anticipate the media frenzy over Obama's upcoming trip abroad: "They will cover it like it was the Pope going to Mars!"
I laughed for five minutes. Imagine a Popemobile for space. A mitre-shaped helmet. Maybe you will laugh for five minutes.

FROM Charles Krauthammer:
"Americans are beginning to notice Obama's elevated opinion of himself. There's nothing new about narcissism in politics. Every senator looks in the mirror and sees a president. Nonetheless, has there ever been a presidential nominee with a wider gap between his estimation of himself and the sum total of his lifetime achievements? Obama is a three-year senator without a single important legislative achievement to his name, a former Illinois state senator who voted "present" nearly 130 times."

Why would a State Senator represent his constituents by merely voting "present"?
Either he has no opinion, in which case, it doesn't matter who the Senator from Illinois is. It could be anybody. Or anything. Just cover the chair with ivy from Wrigley Field. Or he doesn't want his opinion on the record. Oh, it couldn't be that, could it?

Barack Obama lacked the courage of his convictions 130 times.
Or he lacked conviction.
Or he lacked courage.
