Our Betters Update (Glenn Edition)

OUR BETTERS at the MSM. Here's hoping they don't spread suicidal depression any further. Or make people think that placebo is a viable treatment for people suffering from arthritis. One of my aunts died almost 10 years ago and suffered greatly from arthritis -- I can just hear her clicking her tongue over this. It's gotten so bad that I heard on the radio this morning that top management at Pfizer has had to come out and said they will personally keep taking it.

OUR BETTERS at the ACLU. Needs no comment whatsoever.

OUR BETTERS are not hypocritical about exposes on private lives. NYeT I mean...

And OUR BETTERS insist we fire Secretary Stimson:

Back in Washington, despite lofty rhetoric from the White House about the "liberation" of Europe, many had always been skeptical about the prospects for defeating Germany. As they correctly point out, the Germans are after all defending their homeland, and no matter how bad the alleged depravations of the Nazi regime, all familiar with the German character know that they can be depended on to fight to the death against any foreign invader, no matter how well intentioned. Many of the German dead or captured for the past few weeks have been adolescents, some only fourteen or fifteen years old, with dead, untrained yet willing hands clinging to their rifles. Seeing such images of dedication to the cause, it's difficult for many to believe that victory is possible.

As a result, the new setback has renewed rumbling among some that the time has come to seek an accord with the Nazi regime that could allow a withdrawal from Europe with honor, and not lose any more American troops in a hopeless cause, let alone bog them down for an unforeseeable period of time. "It was Japan that attacked us, not Germany," pointed out a Senate staffer. "We need to focus our resources on the true enemy in the Pacific."

Some staffers on Capitol Hill implied that the timing itself of the offensive was suspicious. "Hitler wanted Roosevelt to be reelected, so that he could continue to fight a war against a sick, senile incompetent. Had he started this offensive before the election back on November 7th, everyone would have seen what a disaster this president has been on foreign policy, and Hitler would have had to confront a young, vibrant Tom Dewey."

Others, representing moderate Democrats, seemed resigned. "We're stuck with a stubborn megalomaniac who's eventually going to have us at war with the rest of the world. How long will our Russian allies put up with this kind of behavior? How can we found or host a 'United Nations' when we ourselves are the author of so much aggression?"

Would it be snarky if I just said LOL? I thought you might understand...
