I believe the embracement by the U.S. executive branch of Zelaya is a mistake.  Clinton’s going along with Obama on this one (albeit noncommitally) was no better.  This is her Colin Powell.  She should have resigned. There are some people who recognize this absurdity.  For instance, take a look at Jim Demint’s recent report on his analysis of Honduras .

Seems to me I remember Hillary Clinton saying we should bring this guy back immediately, not to mention others in our administration. Problem is, if this article is true, it was not our call and furthermore, I believe that we should hold those accountable in All of our Administrations that work to overthrow the government of another country. What is really scary about this article is that I get the feeling that there are some in the administration that feel that this is a good road map for their future aspirations and to hell with what the American People think Regardless of your political views, this is interesting reading.

A few weeks prior to the October 10 World Cup qualifying match between Honduras and the United States, the appointed Costa Rican referee was replaced with a Panamanian one. The substitution of nationalities was explained in Saturday’s La Tribuna as being due to the fact that Panama was not also a World Cup contender; my newspaper vendor had a slightly different take on the situation, which was that Costa Rica intended to skew not only the internal politics of Honduras but also its athletic legacy

University of San Diego alumnus Mike Angell won’t soon forget his first sermon as a seminarian. The parishioners at Sunday’s 9 a.m. service at St. John’s Church in Washington, D.C., included President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and their daughters. “It was wild,” he recalled, “having the president listen to me talk for 15 minutes.” Angell ’05 was “a little nervous anyway” when he stepped off the Metro train toward the Episcopal church, located across the street from the White House.

By Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson Originally published by the Center for Vision and Values October 12, 2009 As this is being written, Manuel Zelaya, the ousted and exiled ex-president of Honduras, is holed up in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital, having been smuggled there on Sept. 21.

Man, it is pretty bad, when amateur idiots like me, have to correct the so-called “Professional Bloggers,” whatever that is . Dude, she’s totally running — albeit certainly not in 2012 as an upstart challenger to The One.

Published on October 13, 2009 by admin Today gossip about Rachel Campos-Duffy: Pro-Choice Obama Not Worthy of Nobel. Everyone’s a critic. When Whoopi Goldberg brought up Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize win on Monday’s The View , guest-host Rachel Campos-Duffy, a former reality TV star and current blogger for Anderson Cooper’s AC 360 on CNN, said she was shocked. She’s far from alone there, but her rationale was interesting.

Ron Smith in the Baltimore Sun: A new poll shows a substantial majority of Americans have resigned themselves to the reality of our nation’s perpetual foreign wars. They don’t like it, but they see it happening and know there is nothing they can do about it. The poll, conducted by Clarus Research Group, showed that 68 percent of us agree with idea that we won’t either win or lose the war in Afghanistan, now eight years long, but will instead just remain there.
