Gasoline on the fire
How not to win friends in a conservative Muslim nation:
In a brief statement Sunday, March 1, US film actress Annette Bening, in Tehran with a Hollywood delegation, said: “I hope we can be a bridge to open a dialogue between out two countries, confirming DEBKAfile’s report that president Barack Obama had launched his bid for talks with Iran with a piece of “Hollywood diplomacy” 38 years after Richard Nixon opened the door to China with a ping-pong team.
Don’t the people who planned this trip realize that it’s precisely the degenerate culture represented by Hollywood that the mullahs want to send straight to hell?

To boldly go where no man has…oh, wait, it says “Mecca”

My eyes have just rolled up into my head. Just when I start to cut President Obama some slack, a story like this comes along. You’d think our space agency’s prime directive would be to, you know, explore space. Under the Obama administration, however, it seems the mission is a bit more down-to-Earth: NASA Administrator
Column: Appoint For Us a King

In a development little noticed by the American public, President Obama’s subordinates have quietly let it be known that he reserves the right to have American citizens overseas assassinated. Not imprisoned. Not spied upon without a warrant. Killed in cold blood with no oversight whatsoever. Read the rest at Hearken the Watchmen.
The big question

Glenn Greenwald has another excellent column at Salon.com on the imperial presidency. Where is the outcry from so-called conservatives over President Obama’s claim of authority to order the assassination of American citizens without oversight of any kind? That’s right. This administration has a secret hit list of “dozens” of American citizens considered a threat. Aside

Gen Stanley McChrystal didn’t rise to his position in the Army by being an idiot. He had to know what would happen when he allowed himself and his staff to speak freely around a reporter, especially one writing for a publication like Rolling Stone.

BARACK OBAMA is on a political roll, finally getting his health care reform bill and preparing to push through (equally unpopular) legislation on climate change and immigration reform. But can President Obama — or any president — really offer change?

IT’S HERE, it’s burgeoning, and it’s not going away. So says L.A. Marzulli, author of The Alien Interviews. We discuss global events and the UFO phenomenon, their relation to end-times prophecy, and why most Christians are unaware of the end game.
Obama out of touch

And even while he says he gets it, the president doesn’t realize how out of touch he is: “If there’s one thing that I regret this year is that we were so busy just getting stuff done and dealing with the immediate crises that were in front of us that I think we lost some

From the Mises Economics Blog: “My main message in today’s meeting was very simple: that America’s banks received extraordinary assistance from American taxpayers to rebuild their industry and now that they’re back on their feet, we expect an extraordinary commitment from them to help rebuild our economy,” President Obama said after the meeting.

The sooner we get out of Afghanistan, the better. When we have to pay the Taliban a billion dollars a year to protect our supply convoys, it’s time to leave.
