It is a weird, weird, weird, weird, world

A few weird things come to mind at the moment:
  1. Rush Limbaugh says get out of Afghanistan.  This is the guy who pushed for democracy in Iraq when Bush was in office.  Although Afghanistan isn't Iraq, it is the same democratization policy as Iraq.  It is pretty weird now that he has gone 100% back in the opposite direction.
  2. Obama and the Democrats are taking credit for increased fossil fuel production even though they are enemies of the same.
  3. Some Nordic countries may be next in the property bubble bust.  That wasn't supposed to happen, now was it?
  4. Conservative sites say Obama is in trouble, but other polls say not so.  Both can't be right.  Somebody is fooling themselves and fooling a lot of others in the process.  There's going to be a nasty surprise for somebody down the road.
  5. Back to Limbaugh:  He seems to be okay with Romney's negative ads against Gingrich, but when a Democrat does it to the Koch Brothers, he cries foul.  A bit of inconsistency from a guy who claims to be all about truth.
  6. There is an economic forecasting outfit that claims we will have a recession this year, but the word is out in the mainstream press that things are getting better.  Once again, both reports can't be right, and a lot of people are being fooled.
The upshot to all this seems to be that people are preaching to their churches, but aren't seeing the facts correctly.  Like I said before, ideology can make you stupid.
