Well, that’s one way to make Keith Olbermann’s Worst Person in the World segment, I guess. From Turkish Weekly: According to the report, the man, who was arrested on Friday, was carrying a press card identifying him as an employee of Al Jazeera. He reportedly confessed to his intention to stab Obama with a knife and said that he was aided by three accomplices. The report stated that Turkish authorities

The President, that is. The Powerline guys offer one set of explanations. Me, I have a slightly different take: as with everything else in his life, Obama views the Presidency as a mere stepping stone to the next even bigger thing over which he is entitled to take ownership. His entire existence is one long campaign push, and he has quite clearly built his identity around a belief in his

If you are the former, do know

AFP: Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev hailed Barack Obama as “my new comrade” Thursday after their first face-to-face talks, saying the US president “can listen” — even if little progress was made on substance. The Russian president contrasted Obama as “totally different” to his predecessor George W. Bush, whom he blamed for the “mistake” of US missile shield plans fiercely opposed by Moscow. Yeah. That whole “peace through strength”-thing proved something of

Giuliani once practically spit in the face of a presumptuous Saudi Prince. Our President? He fucking bowed. He bowed to religious intolerance. He bowed to misogyny. He bowed to anti-semitism. He bowed to homophobia. In short, he surrendered our country’s ideals, offering up our principles for sacrifice on the altar of Otherness — behaving much as the Brits’ royal class and the continental elites have long behaved, favoring the sumptuous
