It is a pitiful reflection upon the state of the last superpower that, when it comes to the transnational mush drooled by the leader of the free world or the conspiracist ramblings of a terrorist pseudo-Bedouin running a one-man psycho-cult of a basket-case state, it's more or less a toss-up as to which of them is more unreal.

It was striking to hear Gadhafi and Chavez profess their admiration for Obama, call him "our son," and declare their fond hope that he remain president for life.
The Chinese and Russians are more circumspect in public, and laughing their heads off in private. As for the saner members of the U.N., many Europeans still think they've got the American president they've always wanted: They would agree with John Bolton's indictment — that this was a post-American speech by a post-American president — but mean it as high praise.
Where does Pepe come down on this? He's gone AWOL, but my hunch he'd go with the Euros, and ululate accordingly. Rot must channel his inner Russkie, no?
Ledeen: Obama gave them until September — now — to come to terms with the West's demands. They didn't. But he's so eager to talk to them that when they promised to talk, he extended the deadline to December. [..] And if Israel dares to send planes against these facilities, Brzezinski's going to shoot them down.
And so it goes.
Gotta know who your real friends are, Tecs...
That's one tough day, when you wake up and realize that there are no more real friends.
