BloggeRhythms

Not a very good day for the golf pro from the White House. Aside from his health tax disintegrating rapidly, two other of his shams are falling apart as well.
 
While the administration’s captive news outlet, the New York Times, is trying desperately to rewrite history by claiming Al Qaeda wasn’t behind the attack in Benghazi, Bill Gertz of the Washington Free Beacon via Drudge provides a totally different story.
 
According to Mr. Gertz: “The U.S. government is trying to apprehend an al Qaeda terrorist wanted for his role in the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack that killed four Americans.
 
The suspect, Muhammad Jamal, was imprisoned in Egypt last fall and in September was being held by the Egyptian government. His current whereabouts could not be confirmed, said U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. One official said Jamal remains in Egyptian custody, contrary to reports that he was in Yemen.”
 
So, here we have a newspaper grasping at straws by telling its steadily shrinking audience that they have the facts on a situation where the government itself is pursuing a perpetrator from a group the paper steadfastly claims wasn’t involved at all.
 
Which, I guess, illustrates how blind faith can not only overtake logic and fact, but delude followers to the point where although their own image is destroyed, they believe its worth the price. Therefore, its no surprise at all that fewer and fewer read the gibberish in what used to be one of the world’s leading news organizations.
 
On another front, there’s additional information in a story by Lewis Page, of The Register, also via Drudge, who writes that:Scientists at the British Antarctic Survey say that the melting of the Pine Island Glacier ice shelf in Antarctica has suddenly slowed right down in the last few years, confirming earlier research which suggested that the shelf's melt does not result from human-driven global warming.
 
The Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica and its associated sea ice shelf is closely watched: this is because unlike most of the sea ice around the austral continent, its melt rate has seemed to be accelerating quickly since scientists first began seriously studying it in the 1990s.
 
Many researchers had suggested that this was due to human-driven global warming, which appeared to be taking place rapidly at that time (though it has since gone on hold for 15 years or so, a circumstance which science is still assimilating).”
 
Consequently, I think that while out on the links and having plenty of time between shots to contemplate his agenda for the next three years, perhaps the incumbent ought to give some thought to changing his administration’s goals and objectives. 
 
Because, just like golf, politics is a competitive endeavor. And the way things have worked out so far for him, although the Republicans would love to have an easy path to victory in the coming election, even they would prefer to compete in some kind of a contest instead of having their rival continue to destroy his party himself
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
