The culture shapes the economy long before the economy shapes the culture. Where should we devote our energies?

When Even Chris 'Thrill Up My Leg' Matthews Is Incredulous, Duh' Prezident Has Lost His Last Shred Of Credibility
Chris Matthews listens incredulously while some blondie 30-something with an East Coast Liberal Arts Degree Paid For By Grandaddy's Trust Fund patiently explains that if all those 17-year-old Muslim boys just had good jobs or the ability to start their own businesses--well then all our ISIS troubles would just melt away. He can't believe what he's hearing, and for the first time in his groveling career, actually grows a pair and seriously questions one of Massah Obama's minions. Blondie does not fare well…
OS listens incredulously, because he remembers how Massah Obama's sycophants excoriated Condaleeza Rice for outlining her own vision for fundamental transformation of the Middle East. They, including Matthews, were merciless toward her, and their contempt was directed at her very person.
At least her boss, with all his faults, did have an understanding of who Islamic Jihadists are, and that often the solution is to kill them, and always to identify who they are by what drives their behaviors.
When he left office, Iraq was a highly imperfect situation with some real pockets of hope. Syria was rein by a repressive dictator who basically kept himself to himself--a bad guy, but not a daily source of crisis. Libya was run by an egomaniac, but it was not in chaos. Ditto Egypt. Not a great situation, but not in complete chaos.
If Blondie is the best this administration can recruit, and her vision of a McDonald's job for every young jihadist is the best idea they can float, then all of us everywhere are in a boatload of trouble. And the people most at risk from the jihadists are young women, at the mercy of a violent ideology that looks upon them as chattel.
Of course, that little fact wasn't covered in the Wimmen's Studies curriculum of her East Coast Liberal Arts Degree Paid For By Grandaddy's Trust Fund…therefore not worthy of consideration.
Heaven help us. Our President is useless at best, and we have two more years of Himself ahead of us.

Chris Matthews In Complete Hysterical Meltdown, Calling Rence Preibus 'Garbage' Live On Air
MSNBC Morning Joe was, well, colorful this morning, for the 37 viewers who tuned in.
Tom Brokaw attempted to pull Chris 'Thrill-Up-My-Leg' Matthews back from the brink, as did Morning Joe himself, as did everyone else on camera. All to no avail.
Priebus was pretty cheesed at the treatment received, but did manage to control his temper. At the end, he dismissed Chris 'Thrill-Up-My-Leg' Matthews accusations as 'garbage'--at which point Matthews blurted 'You're garbage!'.
Then they went to commercial break.
Brokaw could have done such wonders for the MSNBC brand had he interrupted proceedings and demanded an apology, then and there, from Matthews. He had tried valiantly to turn Matthews' hysterical rant into something resembling a dignified conversation. Mr. 'Thrill-Up-My-Leg' would have none of it.
20/20 hindsight. The whole group had that 'deer-in-the-headlights' look, shocked at what they had just witnessed. Or, perhaps, they agreed with him? Seems less likely, given the looks on their faces.
There will, of course, be exactly no repercussions or sanction against Matthews, since he is after all a TrueBeliever for the Left.
Imagine had Bill O'Reilly engaged in this behavior. The knives would be drawn, and the bloodletting would be underway already.
You can watch the fun here...

A Close Call, Indeed
In all the hoopla about John Edwards admitting he fathered an illegitimate child by his mistress, while his wife was undergoing treatment for cancer, something to ponder:
Do we understand how close we were to having this gentleman as the Vice-President of the United States in 2004? A few votes in a few precincts in a few states swing the other way, and the Second In Command is the world's most prominent blackmail target.
Problem is, a lot of people within the Democrat Party knew this guy was a clown. An empty shirt. Unfit for office.
And they said...nothing.
The press, who rode on buses with him, talked with him, asked him simple questions he could not answer, saw that he never read even a newspaper.
And they said...nothing.
And, now the Great Ass-Covering begins in earnest.
This is Chris Matthews, spending almost eight minutes of airtime trying to let the world know that he hadn't been fooled, etc. etc. and changing the subject to Sarah Palin.
(Sarah Palin? What's she doing in a conversation about John Edwards? No matter what your opinion of the lady, she has nothing to do with John Edwards.)
If he knew, he said...nothing.
John Edwards is a sociopath, a serial liar, a moral cipher. He almost came within a heartbeat of the Presidency.
But that's not the scary part. It's that the press, who insist we listen to them, follow them, trust them, and vilify us as stupid yokels if we don't, knew about this man.
And said...nothing. Edwards wasn't the only moral cipher of this sordid episode.
