Speech in Cairo

So Obama had a big time speech in Cairo that is winning a lot of praise from a lot of folks. My heart isn't into any broad discussion, but I do think there are some interesting dissenting opinions.

First, the conservative take from Daniel Larison.
Part I
Part II
Part III

The the sarcastic take, with a surprise ending.

And finally the long winded rebuttal.

Since it has been unofficial Bob Dylan month to celebrate his latest album, I thought I'd leave with the infamous soy bomb video for Love Sick and a completely nonplussed Dylan.

Also, if you liked Puccini's Tosca, then you might also like La Boheme which is also by Puccini. Tristan und Isolde is also a great opera by Wagner.

Chomsky. What a dick. What a seriously misguided dick. He's attributing, among other things, America's allegiance with Israel to defense industry relations. Though not one word from the genius about the ***oil*** the Arabs provide.

He's widely considered to be the reigning liberal intellectual, yet can be cornered by the like of me.

What am I, chop liver? Am I not a human being with feelings and emotions? Am I not a person with a story, with their own set of struggles? with their own pain and suffering? With their own thoughts, needs and wants?

Am I not a human being as well??

What everyone did to me was honestly REALLY wrong.

Denise said...

Am I really that hard to like?

Denise said...

I never even did anything bad/wrong to anyone. Why did people do this to me?

Well, this entire city just beat me up out of nowhere stemming from their own hate issues I guess.
