Georgia has stopped a tank battalion mutiny. Naturally the Russians are suspected of being behind it. I’ve been wondering if President Obama will continue support for Georgia, and cause the ire of a belligerent Russia.

Instapundit reader on the cost of anger.
Glenn, you pose the question of what happened to Janeane Garofalo between 2003 and now. I’d submit that it takes a lot of energy to be that angry: it uses you up, consumes you, wastes you.
I hope it at least it kept her warm.

According to this report there’s jedi on patrol in the Scotland Strathclyde Police force. I’m not sure how safe I’d feel. Haven’t noticed a whole lotta peace and calm following jedi around.

Happened into a video on YouTube alleging that Ronpaul is actually a “luciferian” member of the dastardly and super-secret Illuminati / Freemason / Roman Catholic / CFR world conspiracy. Many Ronpaulists of course support Paul because they believe him to be battling these fictional conspiracies and secret societies. Which schizophrenic delusion will prevail? Who cares. It’s enormously amusing to see all the same.

There’s a lot that can be said about the “stimulus bill” winding it’s way through our legislative process, but nothing compares with just seeing what’s in the bill. McQ over at QandO does a good job of breaking it down (via NRO.)

Count me among those who think it’s damned ridiculous for the president of the United States to have a poodle for a pet. While Bush’s Scottish Terrier’s personality was entertaining, who can forget Putin’s words to Bush when he introduced Koni, his aggressive black lab:  “Bigger, tougher, stronger, faster, meaner – than Barney.” Although Putin does apparently have a “secret poodle“, this only further illustrates what a truly bizarre man he is.

All it really takes to get you to ignore the concentration camps right in front you of your eyes and turn you into a robot, is to say “hey, look at this.” That certainly wasn’t the purpose of this video, but it’s a sobering byproduct.

Over the past sixty days, Harry Reid has been the most vocal person in the congressional record. The top two words he has used are “Republican” and “Republicans.” Republican Jeff Sessions has been the second most vocal person, using the words “oil” and “energy” most. On the basis of this, a visiting alien might be confused about which party was actually in power in the congress.

The naval nerds at Information Dissemination are unimpressed with Juan Garcia, Obama’s pick for Navy Secretary. They had been hoping for some substantial change in policy and strategic direction, and consider the relatively obscure Mr. Garcia a vote for the status quo. A lot of that going around.

After the John Brennan experience, Obama is having trouble finding qualified intelligence experts who are ideologically acceptable to liberal bloggers. Pleased to see we have our security priorities in the right place.
