Tuesday, November 3: The Center for American Progress has somehow managed to hire God as a Senior Fellow. His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, the patriarch of Orthodox Christianity, will be discussing the nature of progress, an ever-so-fascinating topic, tomorrow at Georgetown University.

- Tuesday, November 3: The US: capable superpower or pointless entity? CATO asks if the US actually has the capacity to stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions or if we should start building bunkers. [CATO]
- Wednesday, November 4: True to form, the Heritage Foundation has taken something supported by the Democrats (this time it’s health care) and declared it to be too costly, the main cause of death in kids under age 5, and a blatant attack on our freedoms and, of course, states’ rights. [Heritage Foundation]
- Wednesday, November 4: According to Dick Cheney, Obama needs to stop listening to advice and just take action in Afghanistan, which is exactly why his outpost, AEI, is hosting a discussion offering Obama advice about what his next steps should be for Afghanistan. [AEI]
Friday, November 6: Our dear old pres has yet to go to Asia, but, thankfully, the Brookings Institution has taken the liberty to plan the entire itinerary for his trip. They may even spoon feed him all his meals. [Brookings Institution]
Isn’t more war the solution to … well, just about everything?
In His All Holiness’s words, true progress is a “balance between preserving the essence of a certain way of life and changing things that are not essential.”
Progress — where the important stuff you can’t stand stays the same, and the little things that get you through the day are removed. This is why, in the Catholic Church, pedophilia is still allowed while stealing office supplies is a sin under the new catechism.
I must see a picture of the headgear worn by his Most All Holiness as I suspect it is a skypiece worthy of the All-Knowing, All-Seeing, All-Rapping Most Exalted Hootchie-Doo what ever liveth.
