Good News!

GDP rose in Q3 due to government spending! Yahoo!

WASHINGTON – Fueled by government stimulus, the economy grew last quarter for the first time in more than a year. The question now is, can the recovery last?

So let me get this straight. The government wrote checks with money we don't have that reflects in increased GDP. Sound like recovery?

Lost Ally

Where's the outrage? That's what the Taliban is asking after attacking a remote outpost in Afghanistan, killing 8 US Soldier.

The Taliban did not expect victory in this battle. It was just a small outpost. Their mission was to kill some Americans and make it a big news story in the States. The propaganda machine of the American, anti-war, liberal-left media would do the rest. What the Taliban has failed to recalculate is that the press is more pro-Obama than it is anti-war. The Taliban has lost one of their greatest allies of the war.

NATO says kills 100 fighters in huge Afghan battle

Hat Tip, TW.

Just Say What Ever You Want

Liberalism is all about feeling. If it feels right to say, or sound like something others would like to hear, just say it. It doesn't have to be true. Michelle Obama in her Olympic bid speech:

“Some of my best memories are sitting on my dad’s lap, cheering on Olga and Nadia, Carl Lewis, and others for their brilliance and perfection.”

How old was Michelle Obama in 1984, when Carl Lewis first competed in the Olympics?

TWENTY.

NYT: Iran Building a Bomb

NYT: Secret UN Report - Iran building a bomb (HA)

John Bolton: Iran's Big Victory in Geneva (WSJ)

Shame on the NYT

From Michael Graham:

When the NYTimes first reported that Chicago lost its Olympic bid by receiving the fewest votes of any of the finalists, the NYTimes story read like this:

...

But when I went to the NYTimes this morning, the story was gone. Poof! Disappeared like a witness against Whitey Bulger.

It’s been replaced by a far less embarrassing tale of President Obama’s arrogant gaffe. As the blogger who caught this re-writing of history notes, “Now there is no mention of BO's 'end of second term' quote or Rahm's 'good seats' quote. There is no mention of Cabinet Members or Dick Durban flying over with BO.”
