A War He Can Call His Own

Barack Obama, Elections 2008, Foreign Policy, Iraq, War

Here’s an excerpt from my new WND column, “A War He Can Call His Own”:

“Obama wants to maintain a meaty presence in Afghanistan. He may even be conjuring up new monsters and new missions. This is because Obama needs a “good” war. Electability in fin de siècle America hinges on projecting strength around the world—an American leader has to aspire to protect borders and people not his own. In other words, Obama needs a war he can call his own.

In Afghanistan, Obama has found such a war.”

Comments are welcome.

Bankrolling Fannie & Freddie Adds $5 Trillion to National Debt

Capitalism, Inflation, Media, Socialism

Bankrolling Fannie & Freddie will add $5 trillion to the national debt (which stands at $9.5 trillion). So says the brilliant Jim Rogers. (And you wondered why the dollar’s dying and our assets are devaluing by the day? Still, the band of fools, with Obama and McCain in the lead, plays on.)

Rogers also tells a CNBC anchor that if she doesn’t understand that taxpayers must not be defrauded to prop-up these fraudsters in perpetuity—she should get another job. Let these fascistic entities fail.

Bare-Faced Bimbos

Aesthetics, Ilana Mercer, Pop-Culture

Bless the British press for featuring, in “Bare-Faced Chic,” Paltrow, Thurman, (Bundchen looks just fine), Moss, Theron (an albino hound), Beckham (ever ugly), and poor Lulu (whose cheek implant slipped from cheek to jaw)–all sans makeup.

Here is your host, no spring chicken, with not a scrap of make up on her actual skin. We’re holding up.

Men ought to learn realism.These adulated women don’t look like much under the goop.
