tv not bombs (and tv bombs) and bomb-ass tv

Taken as a whole, and enacted with a willingness to pursue the American interest, Obama's speech shows an understanding—dare I say a conservative understanding—of America's foreign policy challenges. If nothing else it raises the hope that, as Professor Weinberg of Puget Sound reminds us, "candidate Obama may want to bring the boys home, but President Obama will see that decision in a different light."

I don't know if the Dawg reads this blog, but I'd be interested to see what he thinks about this article, being (from what I can tell) an early Obama supporter.

Obama has a pretty liberal voting record, but it's fair to say that Iraq and foreign policy looms extremely large in the upcoming election. It will be interesting to see how democrats react, if at all, to stuff like this. I think this article also doesn't take into account what he said at the debate. (I wasn't able to watch last night's Rethuglikkkcan$ debate because I was roped into watching two endless hours of Gray's Effing Anatomy. I guess I don't understand why people like that show. And by people, I mean women. Cos there is zero reason for men to watch that show.)

Also, and only tangentially relatedly, I love how 30 Rock has had a sort of running joke about voting for Obama. They seem to realize that it's pretty much the most PC vote ever, and are simultaneously attracted and repulsed by that. Brills. I can't wait for the DVD of that show.
