Found Another

In the ongoing search for Islamic voices of reason, we find that of Dr. Wafa Sultan, portrayed here at the NT. Times and recently interviewed on Al Jazeera.

If the media, especially Islamic media, give voices like this an outlet, there is some hope left...

What if we had a Democratic President - right now?

I was reading an article on Steven Spruell's media blog (at National Review). He was addressing press bias against Bush negatively driving perception of the economy and other issues.

Of course, as a reflexive, blinder wearing conservative (gotta maintain the stereotype), I accept this at face value (it's so obvious, can't you see...?). However, I started wondering, "what if the shoe were on the other foot and we had a Democratic President in office right now?"

Could I look at the same facts as I believe them to be right now, come to the same assessment as to their validity and make a rational decision to support the administration, or would I see an evil, partisan hand behind every decision, every agreement? I did during the Clinton administration, I admit it. In fact I sounded much like the Moonbats of the left do today, seeing an end to life as we know it in every decision of Bill and his puppet master, Hillary.

Quite frankly, I cannot visualize a democratic administration in which this would occur, the divide being what it is between left and right. Still, I wonder.

I pose the same question to you (non-existent liberal reader) . If the tables were turned, and all the facts were the same, would you be against or for the (Democratic) President right now? Would this "wrong" war suddenly become right if a President Hillary were to say our survival depended on it?

Tickle Says...

I decided to take one of those online Tickle tests; spot the shapes, complete the sentence, etc.

It was kinda fun, like going back to high school (without the stress and acne and girl problems).

Results? Drum roll....

"Congratulations! Your IQ score is 131

This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.

Your Intellectual Type is Visual Mathematician. This means you are gifted at spotting patterns — both in pictures and in numbers. These talents combined with your overall high intelligence make you good at understanding the big picture, which is why people trust your instincts and turn to you for direction — especially in the workplace. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results."

Nice.

Not sure what this means, but I'm smart enough not to pay $12.95 for the rest of the story.

Searching the web, I found this which says I'm smart enough to be an editor.

Cool. Does that include blogs?
