Turnip Truck

In his prepared remarks today about the terrorist's shootings in Orlando, President Obummer said that the reason that the patrons were dancing and drinking at the site of this slaughter, the Pulse gay nightclub, was because they had "come together to advocate for civil rights." What? Had his Teleprompter just had a politically-correct short circuit? Or he, a brain freeze?

Pleeease ... Barack baby ... there isn't a turnip truck still around for us folks to have just fallen off of ...

Hot Potato

I have previously referenced a posting in the Diplomad which was a first-hand account of how Saddam Hussein’s chemical weapons were transported into Syria during the many months run-up to Bush 43’s invasion of Iraq … see: The Diplomad Blog.  Now it seems that Bashar al-Assad of Syria is returning the favor and shipping his WMDs and WMD-making capabilities back to Iraq … see: Jerusalem Post Article.

I think this is called tossing around the hot potato.

I would love to believe that the current Putin/Obama alliance has forever solved the chemical weapons use issue in Syria.  But I didn’t just fall off of the potato … er, turnip truck.
