Somewhat busy lately with paid-writing deadlines, other professional obligations, and an ear issue that has left my hearing quite diminished. After my last session with the nurse practitioner, she said that that was enough blasting for one day, and for me to do the drops for another week and come back next Thursday.
Anyway, I thought the way to begin the week of observing the passing scene was with a roundup. I may do entire posts on some of these developments later, but they're all noteworthy.
It seems the US isn't the only nation under jihadist siege lately. 228 Nigerians died last week in a battle between al Qaeda-linked Boko Haram and government forces.
The White House Correspondents Dinner joins the Grammys, Oscars and Super Bowl as just another chunk of toxin flowing through the sewer of post-American culture. Plenty of opportunities for the Most Equal Comrade to engage in self-congratulation, along with sinister little acknowledgements that we're on to him ("I'm not the Muslim socialist I once was"), and for the emcee and other dignitaries to rip into us for loving freedom and America.
Speaking of post-America's premier Freedom-Hater, it turns out he decided to address Planned Parenthood after all, and get very combative about it.
Think North Korea has scaled back the hostility level? Think again.
Per Russian wiretapping, Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his mother discussed jihad in a 2011 phone conversation.
Trey Gowdy, one of the House's good guys, says that more Benghazi hearings are on the way and will be "explosive."
