Best Picture to Kill an Ambassador
In a weird turn on Oscar night, Michelle Obama, flanked by U.S. military, announced Argo as the Best Picture winner. Some thought it was a little bizarre. I thought it was a little brazen. Argo is about the rescue of American embassy personnel from Islamist fanatics in Iran in 1979. Her husband, the president, was about not rescuing American embassy personnel from Islamist fanatics in Libya in 2012 – and then blaming it on a movie.

Golf Outing
The president’s golf outing with Tiger Woods in Florida was upsetting to journalists because he wouldn’t give them the time of day. Others were upset because they believe he wastes too many days playing golf.
Not me. I enjoyed a few peaceful days without President Angry Man in my face ranting about Republicans firing teachers, killing Head Start andpoisoning the environment.
Alas, not only is he back now, the Obama Moment has been made permanent and forever with the new 501(c)4, Organizing for Action.
Jewish Lobby Art
Defense Secretary nominee Chuck Hagel’s views dovetail nicely with our customer/allies in Egypt. Hagel is on record saying that the “Jewish lobby” “intimidates” people “to do dumb and stupid things”. When pressed he couldn’t name anyone else who was intimidated to do anything dumb or stupid.
For his part, Egypt’s President Morsi is on record (thanks to MEMRI – the Middle East Media Research Institute), calling Jews zionist pigs and apes.
The Egyptian government recently purchaced F-16 fighter planes.
Title Nine for Olympic Wrestling
If the Olympic movement is away from naked wrestlers to nearly naked volleyball players, who am I to complain?
Still, wrestling is the original olympic sport. What will be the IOC’s next move – drop the marathon for stock car racing?
The International Olympic Committee is the only body dictatorial enough to unite America and Iran against it. It deserves a seat on the UN Human Rights Council.
