Jonah Goldberg scolds the mainstream media for its incredible lack of curiosity about Benghazi. Goldberg doesn’t see a conspiracy. I nominate him for the Ramsey Clark Award.

Tuesday morning …

On the Rush website this morning, http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2012/10/30/report_from_romney_rally_in_ohio
Romney is shown working the storm instead of the crowds of the faithful or the MSM.

During the last major L.A. riots, Tom Olmos was interviewed in a TV studio, and said something to the effect of let the hatreds die, let’s rebuild our community. Then he got up and left the studio.

A few minutes later, a fim crew that followed him showed him stopping his car at a burned out minimall. He got out, opened his trunk, and took out a shovel or broom, and without a word, walked over and started helping with the cleanup.

A Halloween costume …

What? A Lefty was held accountable for her actions?

I thought somebody said that the seas (storm surge?) would no longer rise.

Winston Churchill:

Churchill’s multivolume history of WWII reveals a brilliant if not so Orthodox leader. Without him, the children of Eliza Doolitle’s old neighborhood would have grown up speaking German as a first language, with a Cockney accent.

After America was officially joined in the war (by German declaration), FDR slowly but surely used US riches, prosperity, factories, and people to push Churchill to the side, to be second or third among ”equals.”

After the war was won in Europe, Churchill put more effort into defeating the Japanese, even though someone had called for a new election for Parlimentary members. He thought his record was all the campaigning he needed to do, and as a result, he lost his seat in the House of Commons, and humbly resigned as Prime Minister. This is a warning that we always need to work at our electoral process, or we’re just going to give it back to the people we disagree with.

“Never give up. Never give up. Never, never, never give up.” He learned that bit of wisdom the hard way.

Will we?

“Greatest Generation” engaging in vulgar trash-talk …

One of them says they’ll be looking down from Heaven.

With that much hatred in their end days, they’ll be lucky if they’re looking down from Purgatory!

“Keith Koffler does ….”

Re both of them, it’s amazing who we’ll let be Prez.

Spent the night on the computer (phones were shot instantly, land-lines down, air too full of flying water for cells to work very well) with relatives from Virginia through NY and on into New England. Ended up by being information central for England, Ireland, France and Switzerland as well, because they couldn’t reach relatives in the east either – but they could reach me. Okay – long night. (Were I still living in my little town in Westchester it would have been longer: I’d have spent the night with a fire engine strapped to my butt – an acitivuty for which I’m becoming too old!)

Anyway, everybody made it through as far as I can tell (Long Island was instantly gone last night, and remains gone, but they probably won’t get power all the way back before Thursday or Friday, so we just can’t get through to them – normal, in other words.)

But the reason I check into this is just to say keep an eye on the media today. Watch what an amazing hero Obama is, in his amazing concern, and brilliant handling of the storm and its aftermath. What a genius – we’re so lucky to have him! So concerned, so caring, so brilliant! You watch, before this is over this’ll be a far worse disaster than Katrina, handled far better by {{{the One}}} than anything that stumble-bum Bush ever did, etc., etc. Prepare to throw up – but also be prepared for it, because it’s coming.
