Interesting Description

Former President Jimmy Carter described Hamas as a “legitimate political actor”.

Probably thinks muggers are “freelance personal property valets”, too.

Perfect Fit for the Part

Rumor has it Hollywood plans to make “Ghostbusters 3”, described as a “reboot with female leads”.

I hear they’re in negotiations to get Obama’s foreign policy to play the ghost.

Presidenting Is Hard

In my new PJ Media column, I defend President Obama for all the vacations he takes.

In a way, his lack of concern about Ferguson should help with race relations, as we now know that a black president can care just as little about black people as a white president would. It’s probably a different kind of apathy, as Obama better understands what black people are going through, having experienced racism himself, but at least he is ignoring everyone equally.

Hard Truth

[High Praise! to Gunslinger’s Journal]

A snarky comment found at a Bloomberg article on Africa

“Will Africa be the next China?”

Why sure! All they lack (besides sanitation) is writing, the wheel, 5,000 years of civilization, respect for their fellow citizens, respect for the law, an appreciation of education, a knack for bureaucracy, an inexhaustible capacity for work, respect for their elders, love of family and about 40 IQ points.

I may be wrong, but I think this answer may also apply in spirit to the degenerate rioting underclass in Ferguson.
