Biden Angered by “Hostile” interviewer

Evil Overload — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 13:25:18 +0000

Interviewer asks Joe Biden tough questions about Marxism, Biden gets irritable:

The Obama campaign later sent this message to the station in response to their unfair and un-journalistic hostility:

‘”This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election,” wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign.’

Read about it here.

And ask yourself: Was this interview more or less hostile than the Palin interviews?

It’s 11 minutes long and it’s pro-McCain, but it’s entertaining, it was already banned once, and it explains the problem fully and backs it up with facts:

What are the Chinese Doing in Zimbabwe?

Not that meddling in the affairs of other nations is anything new, especially speaking as an American, but it is interesting how much more press Chinese maneuvers are getting now that, as the rising global superstar, they are in the spotlight. So: what are they doing in Zimbabwe?

Chinese troops have been seen on the streets of Zimbabwe’s third largest city, Mutare, according to local witnesses. They were seen patrolling with Zimbabwean soldiers before and during Tuesday’s ill-fated general strike called by the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).Earlier, 10 Chinese soldiers armed with pistols checked in at the city’s Holiday Inn along with 70 Zimbabwean troops.

One eyewitness, who asked not to be named, said: “We’ve never seen Chinese soldiers in full regalia on our streets before. The entire delegation took 80 rooms from the hotel, 10 for the Chinese and 70 for Zimbabwean soldiers.”

This should be a veeeery interesting century. Hell, the remainder of this decade should be plenty entertaining. Link

Biofuel Backlash

Evil Overload — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:20:28 +0000

ZOMG! Diverting food crop production in to fuel production turned out to be Bad! They had to subsidize the hell out of it to make it even remotely economically viable, and now it’s adding to a global food crisis. And, ladies and gentlemen, if you think oil scarcity causes wars, wait until you see what food scarcity does. Time to write your congressbeings on both sides of the aisle and tell them that, while it is good to work toward reducing foreign oil dependence, biofuels are Not The Way. Link
