I'm really enjoying Obama's appearance on the O'Reily Factor.
The most interesting part for me is how much more engaging i find Obama in a genuinely tough interview where he holds his own very well, gives an articulate defense of his positions, and generally comes across as intelligent and personally engaging. He should have done that interview a long time ago. He is more attractive than his surrogates and his sycophants. Their uncritical adoration does not play to his strengths.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
