THE INCREDIBLY STUPID THOUGHTS OF DEEPAK CHOPRA
Jim's observation deserves to be reread. It is a deeper application of the lack of reality testing we have noticed on the left. Thanks. I may expand on that in the next week.
Good essay, Rick. But Chopra's not a first-class idiot. It takes a lot of training to get to Idiot, First Class. You have to learn to see the obvious, and Chopra's nowhere near that.

Barack Obama and a kangaroo walk into a bar and order arugula salads. The bartender says “We don’t serve arugula salads here.” Obama says “I can’t believe what I’m hearing! Did the civil rights movement mean nothing? It’s 2008, and a person of mixed race can’t be served in a bar open to the public? That’s racist, and the destructive politics of the past.”

Barack Obama and a kangaroo walk into a bar and order arugula salads. “That’ll be $20 each,” says the bartender. Barack pats his pockets and the kangaroo pays. After a bit, the bartender says “You know, we don’t get many of your kind here.” Obama pulls a hand mic out of his pocket and goes off on a 10-minute rant about hope and change we can believe in. The kangaroo looks at him a long time and then says to the bartender “At these prices, you won’t be getting many more, either.”

Barack Obama and a kangaroo walk into a bar and order arugula salads. The bartender says, “Hey, isn’t he from a foreign country?” Obama slams down his fist and says “You’re just showing your prejudices. That kangaroo was born in an American zoo, is completely native to this country, and his patriotism shouldn’t be questioned. And even if he was an immigrant, he would still have rights, because this is America.” The bartender says “I was talking to the kangaroo.”

Barack Obama walks into a French café with his daughter. The waiter says “Bonjour Monsieur et Mademoiselle.” Obama says, I’m sorry; I am embarrassed to be an American. My daughter and I don’t speak any French.” The waiter shrugs and says “That’s okay, I speak good English.”

Barack Obama and a group of lemmings walk into a bar to order an arugula salad. The bartender says “What are those things, rats?” Obama says “Those are my friends. I love them like my own family. I have more small donors than anyone else.” The bartender says “Okay, they can stay, but I can’t see why you’d want to spend your time with rats.” The lemmings, eyes shining, watch Obama eat his salad. He goes back to the bartender “You know, you’re right, they are a lot like rats. They’ve been around for years and I never noticed before. I’ve decided I can’t stand them.” The lemmings all nod and follow him out of the bar.

Barack Obama walks into a Dutch café with his daughter. The waiter says “Welkom Mijnheer en Meisje.” Obama says, “I’m sorry, I am embarrassed to be an American. My daughter and I don’t speak any Dutch.” The waiter shrugs and says “That’s okay, I speak good English.”

Barack Obama walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender says “That’s a real nice one. Does he say anything?” Obama says “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” The bartender says to the parrot “That’s pretty good! Did it take long to teach him that?”

Barack Obama walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender says “That’s a real nice one. Where’d you get him?” The parrot says “Chicago.”

Barack Obama is about to walk into a bar when he sees an accident in the street. He pulls out his cell phone and dials 911. The dispatcher asks “What happened?” Obama says “I’m not sure, but it looks like a whole lot of lemmings threw themselves under a bus one at a time.”

Barack Obama walks into a Moldovan café with his daughter. The waiter says “Buna Dimineata, Domnule si Domnisoara.” Obama says, “I’m sorry, I am embarrassed to be an American. My daughter and I don’t speak any Moldovan.” The waiter shrugs and says “That’s okay, I speak good English.”

Barack Obama walks into a bar with his daughters to order arugula salads. “I’m sorry,” says the bartender “but I can’t serve them here.” Barack goes ballistic “I can’t believe what I’m hearing! Did the civil rights movement mean nothing? It’s 2008, and a person of mixed race can’t be served in a bar open to the public? That’s racist, and the destructive politics of the past.” The bartender says “No no no! It’s not that. I can’t serve them because they’re underage.” Bill Clinton turns pale and quickly leaves the bar.

Barack Obama walks into an English pub with his daughter. The waiter says “Good afternoon, would you like arugula salads?” Obama says, I’m sorry, I am embarrassed to be an American. My daughter and I don’t speak any English.” The waiter nods “That’s what we’ve been telling you Yanks for years.”

Barack Obama runs into a panhandler on the street. “Barry! My man Barry!” says the panhandler. “You were my best friend at Occi! I remember you used to get the most righteous weed. Have you got any now?” Obama looks at him narrowly. “That was in the past and it’s racist of you to bring it up now.” The panhandler looks puzzled. “Sorry Barry. I didn’t know. I didn’t mean to get you mad. Have you got any spare change?” Obama looks even more narrowly at him. “Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.” The panhandler looks at him funny. “So – no change?”

AND THE BAND PLAYS ON...AND ON
Kerry and geek are on target. Content is of NO importance here. Obama is putting forth a vision, a direction. His followers care not that he doesn't actually intend to go in that direction, nor has he the skill to lead them if he were. The cynical and corrupt Democrats scare me less.

MY ADVICE: BUY A HORSE, INVEST IN BUGGY WHIP COMPANIES
Mel Brooks beat you to it with his 2000-year-old man. "Hitting a tree with a stick. Hey, don't knock it! That was a good job! You couldn't get that job."

Jonathan, I appreciate that you want to make an honest effort to see what is happening, but you're not there. You believe exactly what you believed before the invasion, but now you have more detail. Arnold Kling's essay at TCSDaily today is much to the point on that. We can all accomplish the task of keeping the same opinion by choosing what information to keep. You may read milblogs - and good on you - but what you have arrived at is certainly not unanimous there. Admit it or not, like it or not, it is possible (though only those who know you could tell) that you have done no more than reinforce previous beliefs.
As to the premature schadenfreude now that Jamil Hussein has maybe been found, I think those commenters unintentionally give evidence for the OP. The important piece is whether the AP stories are true. If Hussein does not exist, that does not disprove the stories, but casts them into doubbt. If he does exist, it is some evidence that the stories have a basis in fact. In neither case is it proof. Proof is seldom available for actions distantly accessible, and we must weigh evidence as best we can.
As before, we await more information.

When I think of the 15 months, multiple INS permissions, and $20K it took to get my sons here from Romania, I get a little ticked at people asserting a right to come here.
Legal immigrants are in general, among the biggest opponents of illegal immigration.

@BBoot -- (yawn) got anything we haven't refuted 100 times before?
The country did not vote for "the candidate the conservatives liked," however much we may have worked for him as the best available alternative. They voted for George W Bush, for a variety of reasons. We have told the Democrats for the past 5 years that the president has the presumption of acceptance for his judicial nominees to any court, because he got elected and their guy didn't, and that's the way the "Advise and Consent" part of the Constitution works. So now we take our medicine. I don't like the Miers nomination, and I don't mind saying so. But I signed on for this president, and I take what I asked for.
Please remember, that despite what the MSM says, not only is the war in Iraq going well, the entire WOT is going well. There is not only significant progress in Afghanistan and Iraq, there are situations which are encouraging in Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Pakistan, North Korea, Bahrain, Ukraine, Qatar, and even such hopeless places as China. If we look at the larger picture and not the day-to-day, the slow, wincing, turn of the world could not realistically be much better,
