By The Waters of Babylon We Sat Down and Wept [Reader Post]

In this day and age of 24-hour news service, the attention span of the world is active only as long as the MSM elects to keep specific dramas ongoing on the tube. ‘News’ is ‘entertainment’ and the television ratings are all encompassing. Rating is money, and money, naturally, is the Lord of the marketplace. What ‘sells’, therefore, is what is splashed on the tube for the 6 O’clock news.

Reporting of the ongoing devastation in Japan, has been relegated to afterthought unless some dramatic development happens to come about that demands a ‘Stop Press’ shout from the Perry White’s of America. Presently the MSM of America are too busy spinning the budget ‘cuts’ demanded by those uncaring, people-hating Republicans trying to gut Planned Parenthood, or worse, de-fund the Cherry Blossom Festival up the Beltway.

Time to Examine Google [Reader Post]

It appears that President Obama’s favorite company has been caught with its hands in the cookie jar. The question is – is anyone going to do something about it?

Of course, the company is Google and the relationship between the president and Google’s corporate executives is paying hefty returns on both ends. Google plied the president with nearly a million dollars in political contributions during his run for the presidency and now the company is rewarded with government contracts and policy initiatives like Net Neutrality that will pad the company’s bottom line.

Raising the debt ceiling is a sign of leadership failure [Reader Post]

A vote on raising the debt ceiling looms.

Barack Obama on raising the debt ceiling in 2006:

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure,” he said on March 16, 2006. “Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership . Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”

Obama’s Message Tonight? “Eat The Rich”….And I Will Get Re-Elected

A glimpse of tonight’s speech by Obama:

President Barack Obama will call tomorrow for a combination of reductions in entitlement spending and tax increases on higher-income Americans to address long-term fiscal debt while drawing a sharp contrast with the Republican alternative proposed by Representative Paul Ryan, according to a person familiar with the plan.
