So we learned yesterday from the Oprah on her post-election special. Pinch me–am I really watching a black woman who is, and has been for many years, one of the most powerful people in media, and who is one of the richest human beings to ever walk the earth tell me that up [...]

Media Discovers Creepy Cult of Personality about Barack Obama
Well, well. It looks that the media is finally asking themselves who Barack Obama is. Of course they waited to pose those questions until after the election. Better late than never, right? Sure.

…they never mean it, and don’t you forget it. That’s the truth, boys & girls. When they say they want a discussion, what they want is an echo chamber, nothing more and nothing less. I’ve not yet seen it fail.

Russia didn’t wait very long. It just announced that it’s setting up missiles on Poland’s border. I assume Obama will get the leaders of the two nations (plus NATO leaders) together for a nice little coffee klatch.
Russia will deploy missiles near NATO member Poland in response to U.S. missile defense plans, President Dmitry Medvedev said [...]

I fully expect Jesse Jackson to retire as the anointed Race-Baiter Blame-Warden. There is now no evidence of racism in America. Unquestionably, the President of the United States is the most powerful person in the world. Now that Americans have elected a black man to that position, I no longer want to hear from Jesse [...]

The bloggers at Commentary Magazine’s blog, Contentions, have distinguished themselves with a series of short, gracious posts about both winners and losers. I borrow them wholesale here:
