The Truth of the Sentiment

What If
President Obama goes to the G8 summit and three times calls British chancellor of the exchequer George Osborne, Jeffrey Osborne. Had George Bush done the same thing, here is what would have happened:

David Letterman would have told a joke implying that Bush was stupid.
Bill Maher would have devoted an entire show to the error.
Jon Stewart would have devoted two entire shows to the error.
MSNBC would have devoted an entire week to the error. 

Instead, we get the Legitimate Media sounds of silence. 


Ruling Party
Putin Rules Out Extradition for Leak Suspect in Russia Airport (NYT, 6/25/2013)

Well of course he did. Putin is a cold war warrior. And he is ex-KGB to boot. Who did President Naive think he was negotiating with?

In return for betraying the Polish people by denying them a promised defensive missile shield system (on the September 1st anniversary of Hitler's 1939 invasion of Poland, no less) and for promising to reduce U.S. nuclear arms, Obama gets exactly NOTHING from Putin.

Putin will wait until Obama offers more concessions. Why wouldn't he?


Practical
The Supreme Court struck down a central portion of the Voting Rights Act on Tuesday, effectively ending the practice in which some states with a history of racial discrimination must receive clearance from the federal government before changing voting laws.

The vote was 5 to 4, with the five conservative-leaning justices in the majority and the four liberal-leaning justices in the minority. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote the decision. (NYT, 6/25/2013)

Apparently the four "liberal-leaning" justices (along with MSNBC) have not heard that a black president has been elected....twice. 


First in Line
Vermont's first medical marijuana dispensaries are now open for business. (WCAX.com, 6/25/2013)

Legal dope, a $0.05 gasoline tax hike, drivers licenses for illegals, a property tax hike. 

This is Vermont.
