The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

November 9, 1989: Ronald Reagan won The Cold War
Twenty years ago today we witnessed the culmination of President Reagan's demand that "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
Ross Douthat in today's New York Times: (h/t TigerHawk)
Twenty years ago today, [the Communist threat to liberal democracy] disappeared. An East German functionary named Günther Schabowski threw open his country's border crossings, and by nightfall the youth of Germany were dancing atop the Berlin Wall, taking hammers to its graffiti-scarred facade. It was Nov. 9, 1989. The cold war was finished....
Never has liberation come to so many people all at once — to Eastern Europe's millions, released from decades of bondage; to the world, freed from the shadow of nuclear Armageddon; and to the democratic West, victorious after a century of ideological struggle.
Never has so great a revolution been accomplished so swiftly and so peacefully, by ordinary men and women rather than utopians with guns.
Freedom rang behind the Iron Curtain. Today there is a celebration of this historic anniversary in Berlin. A Berlin that played host to one of President Obama's campaign stunts, because it suited his purposes to be seen in an "international setting".
Attendance at today's commemoration of freedom does not suit his purposes. Mr. Obama could not clear his schedule to mark the liberation of Eastern Europe. He found the time to fly to Copenhagen when Valerie Jarrett wanted Chicago to host the 2016 Olympics. He will fly to Oslo next month to pick up his ill-deserved Nobel Peace Prize.
But mark an event that actually contributed to peace, probably in the most meaningful way in more than a generation? Not worth his time.
I didn't think it was possible for me to have any less respect for this wanker
of a Poseur in Chief. But yes, yes it is.
