Obama: The Musical. Yes, really. In Germany, but the songs are in English. And judging by the excerpts, it, uh, sucks. Sure, I may be a bit biased, but really—these are not songs that will leave you humming as you leave the theater.
The media: Dogpile on Obama, dogpile on Obama! Looks like the media are starting to notice that the narrative is changing, and the second American revolution is well on its way to maturity. Tapper, of course, is the most even-handed journalist in the world today. (Exaggerate? Moi? Surely you jest.) Money quote: “In Massachusetts, even after a rough couple weeks the Democrat should be ahead.”
UN peacekeepers run away from Haitians: Okay, so the UN had enough peacekeepers to evacuate the medical staff from a hospital in Haiti, but they didn’t have enough to safeguard them? That gives me so much confidence in the UN, I’d love to see them utilized in the Palestinian territories. (Yes, that was sarcasm.) So what happened? All the doctors and nurses left, leaving Sanjay Gupta, the medical correspondent for CNN, to train his CNN crew in lifesaving techniques. All the patients survived the night, no thanks to the Belgians, the Canadians (left earlier), and the UN. Say, guess which country is the only nation to have sent a desperately-needed, fully-equipped field hospital to Haiti? Here’s a hint: It’s not a member of the OIC. (Yeah, it’s Israel.) Update: Sol has lots more about the Israeli hospital, including news of a new baby named Israel.
Scottie the Hottie has a good shottie: The polls are looking good for Scott Brown in Massachusetts. However, I will not be staying up late if this is a nail-biter. Hey, Sissy, best of luck! If I could vote in Massachusetts, I would.
Dr. Gupta really has some stones! I don’t watch CNN. Well, I guess most don’t anymore. But to stay, and do what’s right, when everyone else including the security leaves just shows that he’s a hell of a man. And he has a hell of a crew to stick around as well.
Good to see an AMERICAN show the world how you’re supposed to act. And what of riots? Don’t the UN “soldiers” know how to fire a rifle? I assure you, a few shots, and the riot will go somewhere else.
Good show Doctor!
Those who are kind to the cruel, must necessarily be cruel to the kind.
The Saudis are floating on money, Meryl, so do let us know when they contribute something substantial towards Haitian relief. The check may already be on the way.
Alex, don’t be ridiculous. I hear they pledged a million dollars in aid.
The check is written in Arabic and noone in Haiti can figure out which bank it is written on or how much it is for. Saudi Arabia will refuse to translate it and it must be cashed in person at the Mecca branch of the Saudi bank.
Reliable sources have confirmed that the check is in the mail.
