Secretary Dumbo: Maybe Hebdo made sense . . .
. . . but not Paris, which made no sense at all, says Dumbo.
He sees it their way, you know. Puts himself in the other guy’s shoes. Sometimes. Sometimes not.
The Pope speaks: Who’s on first?
First, Hillary is “often confused.” Now we have our pontiff often confusing:
Here we go again.
Pope Francis has offered some confusing observations about the possibility of Lutherans receiving Holy Communion in the Catholic Church.
I’m getting email… angry… alarmed… confused… sad… above all demoralized.
The test of unbiased media
Even-handedness in a crucial matter:
I’ll believe we have an unbiased media the moment they start using the term “far left” as frequently as they use “far right.” But don’t hold your breath, because you will surely die waiting.

Catholics say hold on, wait a minute — or ought to
Catholicism is the religion of delayed gratification. This life is a test run to determine our eternal gratification. If we live only to have pleasure in the now, we won’t have beatitude in the future. Christ has instituted His Catholic Church to provide us with small mini-trials every day.
He who won’t hesitate is lost?
Christie lights a fire
Not usual stump speech.
robust, full-throttled argument for why he’s the best person to lead in the U.S. in the wake of the ongoing global terrorist attacks. Throughout the roughly 20-minute speech, he invoked the Sept. 11 attacks and, how in his role as U.S Attorney, he prosecuted several terrorism cases.
By the end of his speech, nearly everyone in the room rose to their feet to give Christie an enthusiastic and drawn-out standing ovation.
Called out Obama.
“He called ISIS the JV and just hours, just hours, yesterday before they struck in Paris he told ABC News that his strategy was containing ISIS,” said Christie, referring to Obama.
“All of these statements were a lie, he sees the world as he likes to see it, as a fantasy.

“Black market, then?” inquired Macdonald.
“I didn’t say so — and I don’t know,” she replied. “But when governments go making all these rules and regulations, why then the Johnnie Ward’s of this world say, ‘Where do I come in? — same’s they did with prohibition in America. Always happens.”
Yes. Gummint opens up a whole new world of possibilities, does it not? Always happens.

French president to a grieving nation: “We will lead the fight, and it will be merciless” – Vox
Can we imagine the inveterate enemy-placater Obama saying this?
“We wanted to be here, among all those who saw these atrocious things, to say that we will lead the fight, and it will be merciless,” he said.
“When terrorists are capable of committing such atrocities, they should be certain that they are facing a determined France, a united France … a France that will not let itself be intimidated, even if today we are expressing endless emotion at this drama and this tragedy,” Hollande said. “This was an abomination because it was a barbaric act.”
No.
