Strange Doings

++Donald Rumsfield tells Fox News "The Rise of ISIS puts us in the same period as those days leading up to WWII. " As I recall,the Nazis controlled a major European nation, which had lost a previous World War. I guess he was alluding to the Nazis seizing power in countries where they claimed Germany had rights to protect the German minority. Or maybe that Nazism was a pernicious ideology. Or maybe because the Nazis had the Luftwaffe. That doesn't work because ISIS doesn't have an air force. Never mind.

++Scott Walker is concerned about ISIS in the United States. I guess like the American Bund, which had members on the Jersey Shore.

++Scott Walker was at 21 in Manhattan to wine and dine supply-side financial moguls. He said he was like Ronald Reagan in that he busted a major union. Unlike Reagan,he has not been a head of a major union. 

++Walker didn't know whether President Obama loved America. To be fair Rudy Guiliani was at the same dinner and said that President Obama didn't love America because he didn't grow up like you or I. I guess that means he didn't grow up white.

++Bill O'Reilly calls on American religious leaders to call for a Holy War against ISIS. Chris Hayes took the bait and argued that this is what they want.

++If you were in the Beltway,President Obama held a conference on extremist violence, which received no coverage by the Imperial Post. I guess they realized he didn't love America.

++Josh Marshall posted an article on how Obamacare is in trouble because its advocates have adopted a political strategy to persuade Justice Roberts that the Court would be in disgrace if the plaintiffs won. It would but the frustrating part is that the author lists the myriad reasons why this case shouldn't be in the Court in the first place.
