186. News Catchup

So, what new in the news? I see O is finally getting around to connecting the dots -- most of us learned how to connect dots in preschool. Well, must give him credit for agreeing with the public this time that our intelligence was also faulty in the Detroit airline bombing attempt. Isn't it unbelievable that they just can't keep their mouths shut and always defend what all of us already knew? Doesn't matter which party; it's much easier to babble than to understand a problem and fix it without the babble up front. Speaking of babble, is the House EVER going to get around to investigating Mr. Babble himself (Barney Frank)? And finally we hear that the Yemenis in Gitmo won't get their voyage home. Dear Mr. Holder -- we can no longer do business with your law firm. Either someone in the administration is wising up or doesn't want his polls to drop below 40%! Unfortunately, the progress we are seeing may only be politics.

Meanwhile, the Dems are back behind closed doors secretly defining the killer Health Care Bill. Oh, where is that promise O made to allow CSPAN to cover the thrilling moments? Certainly neither side of Congress wants it that bad -- what, expose me? So much for transparency.

Tick, tick, tick. Iran continues to perfect its nuclear bomb. Tick, tick, tick. Maybe they and North Korea will blow each other up. I find it amazing that the Press cannot focus on ALL the most important events and update us daily instead of covering things like Balloon Boy and Octomom. Does their lack of news mean the administration's lack of attention? Does it mean they can only cover and report, say, 3 events at a time? Or the administration can only focus on 3 at a time? It's no wonder watch the foxy news station which at least scraps for news in all the important areas. The Internet is getting to be as bad as the newspapers and "fringe" (major) networks. Very little gets put out there (frequency of updates) and very little content (details) is ever available without constant searching for it.

Mrs. Master is getting a new laptop tomorrow -- I'm jealous. At least I'll have the old one to myself now. I was getting tired of the complaints that the keys were sticky and smelled like bacon bits. They seem just fine to me.

By the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR.
