Judgement, experience, fear of being handed salt…leadership

Mr. President, what do you think we should do about Iran?

No thinking or acting with out my lucky feather! Given to me by a tribal leader

Oh, but Obama is a celebrity and is uppity. I really do laugh out loud when I think about the category 5 hurricane shi#storm we would see on the news if this was about Obama. He’d be so toast man.

    This is what happens when science is shunned. Sometimes I feel we’re on the fast track to the Dark Ages. In part, I blame the media and it’s split screen elevation of “experts”.

    On one side of the screen is a renowned scientist who has studied the issue for years, published multiple papers, and conducted thousands of experiments proving his point.

    On the other side of the screen is a man/woman who has read one article on the subject and knows he’s/she’s right because… well, just because.

    This split screen crap has to stop. It assigns equal status to the participants which, in most cases, doesn’t exist.

    And you’re right. If this were Obama he’d be toast and accused of practicing Santeria.

    hey donwapo….any articles from prior to 2000, or did those get lost when civilization collapsed under Y2k?

    Pan….blogs like this ARE THAT SPLIT SCREEN!!!

    And yet you’re here, Rap, spewing racial slurs without being deleted. Really with comments like these which side of the screen would you place yourself on?

    Mike – The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution was written like 230 years ago and you still cling to it like grim death.

  7. mike w. says:

    Dorian – Guess what? so was the rest of the Bill of Rights. If the 2nd is such an outdated anachronizm why not do away with the whole BOR? I guess you think the BOR is full of unenlightened concepts of “rights.” We don’t need rights anyore since Obama can do no wrong and the government is always benevolent…..

    Actually, there was an article about this early this year. It covered McCain’s feather and a couple of lucky doodads that Obama carries. IIRC, one of Obama’s was a little hindu god figurine. Or buddha, I can’t remember.

    Carrying lucky charms, while infantile, is not the worst thing we have to worry about.

    Agree with Joe M.

    McCranky’s world view is much more scarier.

  10. I liked nemski better when he wasn’t around
