Go Here for a funny read.
Here are 10 impossible things liberals believe before breakfast – and for the rest of the day.

1. Conflicts are due to misunderstandings. This principle is starkly illustrated by celebrity-cum-political thinker Rosie O’Donnell’s comment on The View: “Don’t fear the terrorists. They’re mothers and fathers.” (Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels — a man to be feared — was the father of six. Ma Barker – well, you get the idea.)

In the liberal weltanschauung, folks are folks. Conflict is due to our failure to understand the terrorists, who want the same things we want. (Haven’t we all had the urge to blow up a 747 in mid-flight?) We should take all of the money in the defense budget and the Department of Homeland Security and put it into a massive PR campaign to help Jihad International understand us, and to educate ourselves about the hopes and dreams of those who cut off the heads of hostages and engage in “honor killing.”

This impossible idea is rooted in the unshakable belief that there is no evil in the world — that rape, serial killing, genocide and Hillary are due to psychological abnormalities or a failure to socialize the young.

Whenever some monster does something atrocious to Americans, the first question liberals ask is: What did we do that caused them to misunderstand us so?

The liberal attitude toward looming annihilation may be seen in the character of President Whitmore in the 1996 movie, “Independence Day.” Encountering a captured alien in Area 51, Whitmore first pleads for a truce (can’t we all just learn to get along). The alien, whose race has just blown up half the Earth, chillingly replies “No truce.” In desperation, Whitmore asks, “What do you want us to do?” The alien responds, “Die.” After the visitor from another planet tries to kill him telepathically, Whitmore orders the brass, “Nuke the bastards!” – making the fastest transition on record from liberal to conservative.

The terrorists understand us all too well. They know we choose freedom over slavery. They know that we won’t convert to their dark-ages religion. Hence, they want us to die.”

“Health care, education and financial services–if you’re looking for work in the coming decades, these are the fields to get into.”

“What to avoid? The usual suspects. According to the projections by the U.S. government, manufacturing jobs are expected to decline by more than 5% by 2014 as production moves overseas. Same goes for textile workers, such as sewing machine operators, who will see a 36% drop in employment. Technology will kill off more office positions, such as file clerks. They’ll see a 36% drop in their ranks by 2014. Digital cameras will zap the manual photo processing industry by about 30%. And that guy who comes around to read your electric meter? Expect to see a lot less of him, too.

But these are the obvious victims as the U.S. moves from a goods-producing economy to a services-producing economy. More interesting are the jobs that are likely to experience slower than average growth (average being about 13%). This is where the surprises are.”

“…Another endangered species: journalists. Despite the proliferation of media outlets, newspapers, where the bulk of U.S. reporters work, will cut costs and jobs as the Internet replaces print. While current events will always need to be covered (we hope), the number of reporting positions is expected to grow by just 5% in the coming decade, the Labor Department says. Most jobs will be in small (read: low-paying) markets.”
Watching old media die is still my favorite blood sport…..

Just over one week ago, I launched the Burma NewsLadder in pretty quick order to help folks aggregate stories, photos, blog posts and more about the situation in Burma; a country I know relatively well because of my father’s experiences there in the State Department.

The response to the Burma NewsLadder has been encouraging to say the least with people posting amazing stories from all around the world; linking to everything from the official newspaper site of the Burmese government to shocking photographs.

One story that was posted from Europe stunned me considerably. It’s about the ongoing cremations the Burmese government continued long after the first wave of riots stopped, literally, as they burned the evidence of dead monks.”

…..Our domestic press here, slowly, but surely, has dropped the story. It is just a trickle now.
Thanks James, for your dedication to this story!
