Motorola’s made-in-U.S.A. approach: 2,500 new hires and among other things a faster turnaround:

Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside tells us that having the factory in the US was crucial for the MotoMaker customization program to even exist, but it also offers other benefits to the company from an engineering standpoint. Since Motorola’s devices are designed in the US, having the manufacturing close by lets engineers make quick changes and tweaks to the design and look of the device much faster than if it were located overseas.

In Texas, of course.

It’s where the jobs are.

Delighted, in fact. What a bailout!

The world will see through this spin. A British commentator in the Telegraph on Monday called this “the worst day for U.S. and wider Western diplomacy since records began,” and that’s only a mild exaggeration. A weak and inconstant U.S. President has been maneuvered by America’s enemies into claiming that a defeat for his Syria policy is really a triumph.

Now you see it, now you don’t. Democrat politics at its best.

Screed:

Jim Jarmusch’s “Dead Man” — a Homeric makeover — had the potential of a good, even great movie. But in it he fell to the siren point-making (heavily) and instead made an anti-white, anti-Western screed, even planting factoids such as shooting of buffalo from train windows.

For my Homeric makeovers, I’ll take “Brother, where art thou?” if you don’t mind.

As in travels-of framework, of course.

Putin’s problem with Obama:

A serious foreign-policy intellectual said recently that Putins problem is that hes a Russian leader in search of a Nixon, a U.S. president he can really negotiate with, a stone player who can talk grand strategy and the needs of his nation, someone with whom he can thrash it through and work it out. Instead he has Obama, a self-besotted charismatic who cant tell the difference between showbiz and strategy, and who enjoys unburdening himself of moral insights to his peers.

Woe is us that it’s come to this. Especially the morality bit, the last refuge of scoundrels. (Apologies to the shade of S. Johnson)
