-Brad Manning is in heaps of troubles as he should be. The former Army PFC had an act of conscience and leaked thousand of documents that showed war was hell. And outside of exposing the names of Afghani informants, nothing really crucial was exposed. We all know that war is hell. We all know that unfortunate killings are part of war. But what Manning did is treason. There's no other way to put it. He took classified documents and exposed them to the general public. He's no martyr and may have put people's life in danger. Why? To show that war is hell, which we knew anyway. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and on the side of the road is where good people with the best intentions that did the worst things lie.
-A muslim rights group is building a Mosque near ground zero in New York and it should be built and should be disdained at the same time. Allow them to build it but let the Muslims know that building this so close to where many Americans were killed by radical agents of their religion is harming their cause more than helping it. The 9/11 survivors and victims families have the right to be hostile. Politicians on both sides are missing the point. America is a forgiving country that needs to realize that moving on is what needs to be done to heal.
-Before we talk about Colorado Senate Candidate Dan Maes, a little house cleaning is in order...
Okay, now that's taken care of... If the Republican Party's chances of winning the Governors race weren't decimated enough, Maes took a weed eater to them by espousing that the recent boost in bike riding and the Denver program of rent-a-bikes were part of a conspiracy to put U.S. cities under United Nations control.
No, I'm not making that up.
First, Scott McInnis is found to have plagiarized a report on Colorado water rights and then he threw his researcher under the bus. Then former Congressman and currently most despised conservative figure in Colorado (an impressive feat when this state also boasts Douglas Bruce and Reverend James Dobson as residents) Tom Tancredo joined the race as a third party candidate and now the mumbo jumbo conspiracy theory by Maes. If the GOP doesn't want the office, just say so. You're taking an office that was winnable and turning into mush, and may I remind you, you're doing it against the strongest possible Democratic opponent in the state. Mayor John Hickenlooper is a moderate Democrat and popular figure amongst all in the city of Denver. He has real life business acumen and bi-partisan support. You could run a perfect campaign and still lose. And the two candidates for the GOP are doing an Abbott and Costello routine... way to go.
- I used to think that actor and Christina Hendricks' hubby Geoffery Arend was the luckiest man in the world, now I'm pretty sure that U.S. Senate majority leader Harry Reid is. Reid had no shot to retain his Senate seat and was a surefire loser in November in an down with the incumbent atmosphere. Then Sharon Angle happened...
You can see Carl Cameron's soul die in this video. He's a good newsman and he knows that her stance on the media is utter bullshit. Tea Partiers... again. Not every right wing person is Sarah Palin and not everyone believes everything that the Tea Party believes in... sometimes if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a loon. Reid went from being down double digits to being up by 4 points. The GOP and Tea Party are acting like they've hit a triple when they were born on third base.
