First, I have to give a hearty thumbs down to WPSD, the NBC affiliate out of Paducah, for pre-empting Chris Matthews this morning in order to make some quick bucks with a half hour infomercial for a modern electric skillet thingy. That really shows civic mindedness, doesn't it.

Of course, the big discussion point of the day was Iran, and their nuke program. Personally, I don't believe a word of any of what is being reported by the mainstream news. It is eerily like the run up to the invasion of Iraq. I do think that Pat Buchanan had the most poignant question of the day on the subject, which was, why did the national intelligence estimate a year or so ago say that Iran wasn't pursuing nuclear weapons if we have known about this facility for years? The whole thing reeks of political oneupmanship, and I am worried about where this is going.

There was discussion about Obama's performance at the UN and the G20. But there wasn't a lot of discussion about the protests, and how force was used to break them up. How can we be preaching to other countries about supressing dissent when we are controlling how people can assemble, march, and speak out? I think Obama should have addressed that, but he hasn't, and the media is pretty much covering up.
