On hearing that American soldiers had burned some Korans, Afghans erupted into randomly murderous rage. In the ensuing stone-throwing, tire- and flag-burning and infidel-denouncing by Friday some 14 people had been killed, mostly Muslim Afghans. What’s that about? Click here to read the rest.
Perhaps blogging about blogs seems a bit self-absorbed, self-referential, derivative or too many steps removed from real life, too cyber-unreal. Nevertheless I want to point to Mark Steyn's comment on National Review Online's "The Corner" yesterday, in which he discusses a significant story about yet another Obama administration staffing misadventure. He highlights that this story has been working its way through cyber-space while being scrupulously ignored by most of the mainstream media. As he pointedly notes, the technological woes of modern newspapers are very real, but there could certainly be more attention paid to relevant, important content even if it is about things liberals would rather not discuss.
Is it not curious that Barack Obama, like Bill Clinton, should have a series of cabinet appointees in trouble over laws they didn't bother to obey? It seems paradoxical that those most eager to make rules for other people should be so casual about following rules themselves, especially when the new President campaigned so aggressively on improving ethics in Washington... unless of course they think they're a genuinely superior type of person liberated by their awesome responsibilities and talents from the tiresome, mundane moral standards that apply to ordinary folks.
Good luck to President Barack Obama. He will need it, not only because of the enormous challenges of the office he assumes today but also because of the highly unrealistic expectations of many of his supporters.
