World's most dangerous city

The world's most dangerous city -- Washington. That's according to Tony Blankley writing in Human Events:

But Washington's threat to the nation and the world is from more than acts of crass political expediency -- hardly an unknown phenomenon in any nation's capital.

I am struck -- and chilled to the bone -- by the fact that in the face of this perhaps unprecedented economic storm, both political parties (with, of course, several individual exceptions) are reflexively and unthinkingly sticking to their normal economic and policy nostrums.

He makes a very good point. The actions of politicians in Washington not only impact the lives of Americans, but very well also the lives of others in the world. It is unfortunate that they do not use their powers wisely.

Obama the media darling

We're all aware of the left-leaning bias in the mainstream media (MSM). We should be thankful that there are outlets such as FOX News, conservative talk radio, and crazy right-wing bloggers to balance the information out there.

Tony Blankley of the Washington Times writes an op-ed labeling the MSM as "straight out propagandists for the Obama campaign." And he's right. The major media are infatuated with Obama and have cast their votes for president. Obama is the product of MSM hype. He's a pop star and the MSM writes his songs and scripts.
