A Trio From Ed

|

Ed Driscoll combines a couple of good observations from others to arrive at his own: "For the left, what matters far more than America's success is who will get the credit for it."

Not content with that, Mr. Driscoll also has an excerpt from Amir Taheri that sums up:"What matters, however, is that it is up to the people of Iraq and its coalition allies to decide the moment an the modalities of the withdrawal It is a judgment that no outsider could make .. Those who opposed the liberation and those who have done all they could to undo it have no moral right to join that debate."

The other day when The Amazing Race was preempted for the Country Music Awards, the Murphy Family had a free night. And we had a coupon for a free video on demand. So we carefully considered the hundreds of available movies, and narrowed down our choices to Robots, which we hadn't seen before but which I had heard bad reviews, The Great Race, which I hadn't seen since I was a kid, and Phantom of the Opera, which we had seen before. That was it. That is simply pathetic. Hundreds of possibilities, three tepid choices. Since my wife really wanted to see Phantom again and old movies are a tough sell with the rest of the family, we watched it again. I have to say I enjoyed it much more the second time. But it is sad to think how difficult it is to see a good family (and by that I mean something the whole family will like, not just kids) because Hollywood makes so few of them. And that's my looooong introduction to the last link from Ed Driscoll, which examines how political correctness/leftwing sensibilities are strangling Hollywood storytelling.
