Obama’s “private” prayer? Not quite:

Ma’ariv issued a response Sunday, saying that “Obama’s note was published in Ma’ariv and other international publications following Obama’s authorization to make the content of the note public. Obama submitted a copy of the note to media outlets when he left his hotel in Jerusalem. Moreover, since Obama is not Jewish, there is no violation of privacy as there would be for a Jewish person who places a note in the Western Wall.”

The Obama prayer scandal is a cynical fraud.

Steve Lonegan has filed a suit against Governor Corzine, the State of New Jersey and the Economic Development Authority, to block the sale of $3.9 Billion in EDA bonds on the grounds they are being sold without voter approval.

Brian Williams thinks Ahmadinejad “brought with him a new approach.” Blowing Israel off the map a new approach, Brian?

Taqiyya in Geneva

Could anyone possibly believe that Iran’s agreeing to meet with the six nations followed by its rejection of their demand to halt its nuclear development was anything other than a deceptive buying-of-time in its race to join the nuclear club before Israel (with or without US support) launches airstrikes against its nuclear facilities in the narrowing window of opportunity before the as-yet unknown political environment following US elections in November?

But Brian believes ‘Jad when ‘Jad says, “Don’t worry yourselves needlessly.” Bobby McFarrin couldn’t have put it better. Perhaps Brian’s been reading Doug Ross (which, by the way, reminds me of Chavez’s military. No wonder they’re buddies.)

No word from Brian regarding those mass executions.

This morning Paul Kurgman was saying that Conservatives Are Such Jokers:

Today’s leading conservatives are Reagan’s heirs. If you’re poor, if you don’t have health insurance, if you’re sick — well, they don’t think it’s a serious issue. In fact, they think it’s funny.

I don’t know what conservatives Krugman may be talking to, or if he’s even talked to any. Maybe he should come to Washington for the afternoon.

Yesterday seven Congressmen addressed a rally in Congress: All of them are urging earmark reform through the Discharge Petition. The petition would make each earmark’s sponsor publicly defend each earmark. Here’s a video:

The rally was by the attendees of the Defending the American Dream conference in Washington DC, and the focus is on

policies that are threatening to destroy the American Dream – higher taxes, more spending, burdensome regulation, and endless red-tape.

There were 200 hundred people attending the rally in the hot afternoon sun.

Giuliani: “It’s your money, it should be your choice.”

Defending the Dream is posting more videos.

Kurgman believes that

What’s happening, presumably, is that modern movement conservatism attracts a certain personality type. If you identify with the downtrodden, even a little, you don’t belong. If you think ridicule is an appropriate response to other peoples’ woes, you fit right in.

Krugman ridicules the very people who are meeting in DC trying to bring about real prosperity and continuing growth to our country, people of every race, economic status, educational background. People on wheel chairs. Blind people. Single parents of young children struggling to make ends meet, and empty-nesters with vacation homes. People whose properties have been taken away by the government trough the abuse of eminent domain.

Krugman doesn’t know what the real world looks like.

It would be a good thing if he would come and listen to the people here, because these conservatives aren’t joking.
