Turkey Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is an important part of world events, but he didn't sell iPads.
In a couple of weeks Time magazine will unveil its Person of the Year. Last year, Mark Zuckerberg was named Person of the Year because of a movie. I said at the time that the Tea Party made the most sense given the historical nature of the mid-term elections, but Time is a liberal rag so what do I expect?
If Zuckerberg was the pick last year then it seems like a slam dunk that Steve Jobs would be the pick this year. There’s no clear choice and some of the choices on Time’s website are comical, including Lionel Messi, Anonymous, and the 99%. The most popular choice at the moment is Turkey’s Prime Minister. Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Since most American can’t even tell you who the chief justice of the Supreme Court is I doubt Time chooses Erdogan.
The dark horse candidate is Gabrielle Giffords. The story of her recovery is amazing and it also pushes the liberal meme that right-wing extremism led to the shooting. Don’t worry, the facts of the case are beside the point. Think I’m wrong? Liberals are still blaming JFK’s assassination of right-wing extremists even though Lee Harvey Oswald was a communist. Frank Rich’s recent article in the New Yorker that continues the facade is comical. It would be funnier if it was actually satire.
I would like to see Seal Team 6 get the nod. The operation against Osama Bin Laden is the story of the year. In a culture of apathy, sensationalism, and cynicism it would be nice to see the heroes of that operation get the credit.
I had so much fun putting together The Daily Flush yesterday I’m making it a daily column here at The Daily Plunge. There’s just so much stuff to write about and so little time. Let’s Flush!
Double Rainbow: I’m a few days behind this internet sensation, but the Double Rainbow video is amazing. At first I thought the guy was on drugs, but after seeing an interview of the guy and seeing where he lives, I’m not so sure. He sure does love rainbows.
Apple iPerfect: Steve Jobs told everyone what we needed to know; they’re not perfect. Perfection aside, according to Jobs, 0.55% of all iPhone 4 users have called Apple Care to complain. For those scoring at home that’s one half of one percent. It should be noted that calling Apple Care is almost useless. Also, if someone is having problems getting a signal how exactly are you supposed to call Apple Care?
Foxes Running the Henhouse: The ass clowns who told us there was nothing wrong with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are now celebrating the new “consumer protection bill.” When Nancy Pelosi, Christopher Dodd, and Barney Frank talk about “consumer protection” it’s almost certain that consumers are about to be screwed. These people should be in prison. Instead, they’ll continue to get sweetheart deals the rest of us can only dream about.
The Holy Trinity of Politcal Evil
While these idiots trade high fives some of the problems that led to the crisis aren’t being addressed. The Democrats are either too corrupt or too ideologically tied to the welfare state (take your pick) to deal with the problem.
Sheila Jackson Lee: Finally, we have a fantastic history lesson from Democrat Representative Shelia Jackson Lee. Did you know there’s a North and South Vietnam still living side by side? Nope, neither did I. Before anyone simply says she had Vietnam confused with Korea, she cites the correct number of American casualties from the Vietnam conflict. I only point out the ignorance of this representative because of white privilege.
That’s all for today… I’ll close with the Rainbow Guy song. Classic!
