If He Was Really Part of the Zionist Propaganda Machine, Wouldn't His Last Name Be "Potterstein"?

Or maybe, Potterbaum, or Pottergold (wait, that sounds too much like a leprechaun), oh I give up, David Finkelstein is right, the Iranian leadership is nuts, and they should never be allowed to have a working nuclear bomb.

I'm amazed the Bush administration didn't level the facilities where Iran is developing their nuclear weapons program as a parting gift to the Obama administration, now instead Pres. Obama (and Sec. Clinton) have to step up to the plate and get something done, and so far he hasn't shown the will, the fortitude, or the inclination to prevent these nuts from getting their hands on the means to make their genocidal dreams come true.

Just cause their outrageous lies about Israel and 'Zionism' are laughably outlandish, doesn't mean that they should be ignored, or don't present a mortal threat to a valuable ally and if events turn violent, could make the current merely economic problems seem like very small potatoes in the very near future.

I'm as Sick of Blogging About This Topic as You Are Reading About It, but One More Thing . . .

More WGA related nonsense here. It beats writing about the Iowa Caucus, anyway.

So WGA members think they've got Jay Leno in trouble since he admitted to writing jokes to give in his monologue.

Ohhh! The Horror! The Horror!

Clearly, the WGA rules do state that a WGA member can't write, even material they perform themselves, if they choose to perform during the strike, they can only do so from scripts prepared before the strike, or only material such as anecdotes or extempraneous interviews and observations.

Jay Leno admitted to violating this when he said he discussed the jokes he was going to tell with his wife, just like he always does. Somehow the WGA is going to try and convince the public that a working comic doing his own material on his own show is doing something awful by wanting to actually be entertaining while fulfilling his contractual obligations to the studio that employs him.

I've got news for the WGA, you'll look like a bunch of major league asses if you push this issue. If you go on, do your best, that's what the public expects, outside of the public sector, most people work non-union jobs and don't care if their late night comedy comes with the union label or not, they just want funny (which doesn't really explain why Leno continues to be so highly rated, but whatever).

Reminds me of the RIAA (Pastor Jeff has a good post on this mess, here), they think just cause a badly written law is on their side, that when they push the issue, folks will change their behavior and fall in line.

Had I Been Blogging This Weekend, That's Pretty Much What I Would Have Written . . .

Tammy Bruce on Sen. Clinton

Here's the quote of Sen. Clinton speaking before a conference of College Democrats from the AP article:

"I'm going to be asking a new generation to serve," she said. "I think just like our military academies, we need to give a totally all-paid education to young men and women who will serve their country in a public service position."

Why would anybody object to that?

(Tammy does a great job of objecting, she's got all my personal objections covered, so I'll just nod my assent to her objections rather than piling on my own)
