Comments on: Black to the Future http://dublinopinion.com/2008/08/29/black-to-the-future/ It's a group blog. What more do you need to know? Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:11:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Donagh http://dublinopinion.com/2008/08/29/black-to-the-future/#comment-68181 Donagh Mon, 01 Sep 2008 13:47:28 +0000 http://dublinopinion.com/2008/08/29/black-to-the-future/#comment-68181 What and have a new Camelot with a Black President instead of an Irish Catholic one facing down the Russians over a situation that started over a missile deployment on the edge of Europe (only this time they're in the EU)? Of course, Obama just needs to make it clear to the Military Industry Complex that he's a fightin' man, which would explain his comments about Afghanistan. Also, having Biden on the ticket would clear away anyone's remaining doubts. However, in the interests of symmetry I put an 'or' rather than an 'and' in the last sentence. Not that I should suggest that the whole Georgian/Russian/Poland fantango was orchestrated to get John McCain into the White House - I'll leave that to the conspiracy theorist Putin. All I'm saying is that according to this NYT piece</a>, Condi Rice 'tried' to dissuade Georgia from invading South Ossetta when plans were shown to the US government back in Jan. Only, her arguments were probably uttered in a dull monatone, (do-not-invade-significant-Russian-forces-building-on-border) while her actions, unseen, of course, on the White House tapes were all baseball bat swings hitting a home run followed by a couple of thumbs up. WorldbyStorm. I hope I didn’t ruin your weekend. On Palin though, it’s interesting. The Huffington Post is going in to overdrive. What? They splutter, this is ridiculous!! She’s not in the place two Alaskan winters. Har-har-har, they say, and then like Montgomery Burns and Homer after sliding down the side of a mountain in a ski lodge, they screw up their eyes and squint at the cunning of it. Dennis Perrin also shows that <a href="http://dennisperrin.blogspot.com/2008/08/old-jokes-are-new-again.html" rel="nofollow">old jokes are new again</a>. What’s that line from the Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon? History repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce.

Particularly for the weekend. :( Ah well, it's okay, McCain's picked a woman as running mate. Wait, an extreme pro-lifer, pro-oil drilling, ultra-conservative. That doesn't sound good... :( That’s a gloomy conclusion Donagh. Particularly for the weekend. :(
