Bob Geldof praises President Bush

Mr. Geldof praised Mr. Bush for his work in delivering billions to fight disease and poverty in Africa, and blasted the U.S. press for ignoring the achievement.
Mr. Bush, said Mr. Geldof, “has done more than any other president so far.”
“This is the triumph of American policy really,” he said. “It was probably unexpected of the man. It was expected of the nation, but not of the man, but both rose to the occasion.”
“What’s in it for [Mr. Bush]? Absolutely nothing,” Mr. Geldof said.

Mr. Geldof said that the president has failed “to articulate this to Americans” but said he is also “pissed off” at the press for their failure to report on this good news story.
“You guys didn’t pay attention,” Geldof said to a group of reporters from all the major newspapers.

Nope they sure didn’t.

The Wall Street Journal has a nice article with several other examples of how the press “doesn’t” pay attention.

It’s ugly tonight in the blogosphere. I guess it’s to be expected the night before super tuesday but that doesn’t stop it from being tiresome. Makes you wonder though, what’s real and what’s not?

I keep getting emails from people wondering why I’m not offering up an opinion on the republican primaries. They wonder if I’m as panicked as they are about the prospect of John McCain as our nominee. All I can say is not exactly. The truth is I like John McCain and respect his service, I also like Mitt Romney and find him interesting while others find him dull and plastic. In fact I found something likeable in all of the candidates that made up the republican field and yes that includes Ron Paul. But none of them have knocked my socks off so to speak and incited in me the passion I felt for President Bush’s second run for office. So I’m watching and waiting to see how it all plays out.

I don’t know if I’m lucky or not but by the time I get to vote the nominee will already have been decided, but I will still vote and it will be for who I feel can and will do the best job for our country. There is something else I will do as well, I will already start missing President Bush. Maybe some find it easy to forget but thankfully I’m not the only one who remembers.

Oh and by the way I don’t have a preference on the democrat nominee either. I figure they are both decent enough people but they just happen to want different things for this country than I do so I wont be voting for either of them come the big day.

COMMON COLD

Go hang yourself, you old M.D,!
You shall not sneer at me.
Pick up your hat and stethoscope,
Go wash your mouth with laundry soap;
I contemplate a joy exquisite
In not paying you for your visit.
I did not call you to be told
My malady is a common cold.

By pounding brow and swollen lip;
By fever’s hot and scaly grip;
By those two red redundant eyes
That weep like woeful April skies;
By racking snuffle, snort, and sniff;
By handkerchief after handkerchief;
This cold you wave away as naught
Is the damnedest cold man ever caught!

Give ear, you scientific fossil!
Here is the genuine Cold Colossal;
The Cold of which researchers dream,
The Perfect Cold, the Cold Supreme.
This honored system humbly holds
The Super-cold to end all colds;
The Cold Crusading for Democracy;
The Führer of the Streptococcracy.

Bacilli swarm within my portals
Such as were ne’er conceived by mortals,
But bred by scientists wise and hoary
In some Olympic laboratory;
Bacteria as large as mice,
With feet of fire and heads of ice
Who never interrupt for slumber
Their stamping elephantine rumba.

A common cold, gadzooks, forsooth!
Ah, yes. And Lincoln was jostled by Booth;
Don Juan was a budding gallant,
And Shakespeare’s plays show signs of talent;
The Arctic winter is fairly coolish,
And your diagnosis is fairly foolish.
Oh what a derision history holds
For the man who belittled the Cold of Colds!

- Ogden Nash
