This and that from here and there

Karl ("Guess what planet I'm from") Rove contributed a goodbye essay to the otherworldly National Review, reports Raw Story, in which, among other wacky things, he made the truly bizarro claim, "[Commander Guy] will be judged as a man of moral clarity who put America on a wartime footing in the dangerous struggle against radical Islamic terrorism." Oh Bunky, Bunky, I remember WWII. I know what a wartime footing looks like. This ("keep shopping") ain't it.

Meanwhile a report in ABC New's "Blotter" (in which we are treated to White House spokesbimbo Scotty Stanzel using the word "expeditiously") we learn there is something in the White House organization called the "Information Assurance Directorate." Now, that's sort of how a wartime footing looked back in the Big One, only that was on the other side.

But fear not, Bunky, there is still good left in the world. The San Francisco Chronicle picks up an AP story from Greenburgh, NY, in which a teen offers a knife-wielding robber all the money he has - a $10 bill - and is sent into a nearby pizza parlor to get change because the robber only wants four bucks. Alas, the robber is soon caught.
