Good morning and happy Thursday. Good news: Pamela from Atlas Shrugged got some MSM love. Bad news: that does nothing to change the fundamental truth that we are all totally effed. If you’ve ever wanted to know what Syrian, Iranian, Venezuelan, and Argentinean thugs do in front of the UN General Assembly, today is your lucky day.
* Palestinians still using little kids as human shields. Welcome to a world in which nothing is ever surprising any more.
* Pamela gets a shout out from FOX for her blog. Totally, incredibly awesome. It’s like the shoutouts she gets for her vlogs, only significantly less artistic.
* If you want more about Hugo Chavez than our insightful “total effing clown” analysis, James Lewis at American Thinker has some stuff. But come on – total effing clown pretty much covers it, no?
* VP (ViPe?) has the speech from the Syrian representative to the UN:
That is Israel’s faith and I say this despite the fact that I didn’t really need to repeat these things because we all in the press and media have seen what Israel does. If Nazism were to exist today, Nazism would have been ashamed of what Israel does.
We’re going to go out on a limb: we’re not sure that the UN is a productive space for rational dialogue.
* Hot Air has tape of the Holocaust Denier in front of the UN. The rest of the world thinks he’s effing Cicero, you might as well tune in.
* You know what makes our “is Chavez gonna walk to the podium in dreadlocks and a Che shirt?” less funny? Turns out Che was once allowed to speak to the UN. What an august institution. Really, a beacon of freedom to all the world’s oppressed.
* Daled Amos asks if AI is maybe reconsidering their officially unofficial ‘demonize Israel’ editorial policy. We know absolutely nothing about the specifics of the claims that he’s relaying, but we’re going to say “no”. Because the news article that he found that suggests that AI has broken with the Left is from the Boston Herald, a newspaper that has to turn to its right to find Noam Chomsky. But hey, we’re willing to be surprised.
