Chi Trib-LA Times story about the latest job report has this which I heard almost verbatim last night on Fox, from its liberal-woman-in-the-middle on the panel:

The political impact of the report likely will be muted because most voters already have strongly held views of where the economy stands.

It’s the meme that’s going around, apparently. For the lemmings.

On the other hand, lower in the Trib-LAT story, we find:

If the jobs report had come in stronger, it could have given an additional boost to Obama followingthe Democratic convention . . .

That’s interesting.  No impact from bad news, but good could have had impact.  This be something worth pursuing.  Or pooh-pooing maybe.

Cardinal Dolan at Dem convention, praying, got f-bombed a lot.

He’s against being required to buy abortifacients and birth control pills. Wrong thing to be against.

If on the other hand, he’d come out vs. racism or sexism, he’d be a hero. Thing is, there are popular and unpopular sins — for condemnation purposes, that is. Some unpopular ones are fornication, bribery of public officials, vote-stealing, political corruption in general. By the way, wouldn’t that be a terrific bishops’ letter to all of us, condemning vote-stealing? I’d read that one.

Featuring people with fixation on final solutions.

If I incorporated for business purposes, would I be forbidden to profit? Silly people who want to change the world. Maybe truly compassionate about others’ suffering, or angry about their own, or espousing radical Christianity, who knows?

I am not in favor of throwing baby out with the bath, which to greater or lesser degree many reformers and saviors of society do, one way or another, succumbing to spite even if starting from honest concern.

BEWARE, and I do mean especially you religious people.
