Hola, Tuesday.

Okay, so, to me, the media reports yesterday about George Zimmerman's wife's 911 call, his alleged threatening of her father with a gun, and the possibility that he would lose his gun permit were not worth reporting on. A domestic disturbance about people neither I nor you, I expect, care about should not be newsworthy, at least not until President Loudmouth decides to insert himself into the situation.

That being said, liberals breathlessly spread the story, probably because they're so pathetically invested in making George Zimmerman out to be a villain. And that makes this next bit too good to pass up. Unfortunately for liberals and despite all their wishing and hoping and snide remarks and childish glee, Zimmerman's wife has retracted her claim. She didn't see Zimmerman with a gun and the police recovered no gun from the scene when they arrived following her 911 call.

In case you missed it yesterday, Syrian rebels, led by Al Qaeda fighters, seized, sacked, burned, and beheaded their way through a Christian village over the weekend. Quote from one of the residents: "Where is President Obama to see what befallen on us?" Apparently, this man is unaware that Obama proposes to aid the rebels that befell on his town.

The Senate is delaying a planned vote tomorrow on the war authorization. In light of the Syrian offer to allow weapons inspections, Democrats are hoping they won't have to line up behind an unpopular war just so Obama can save face. It's unclear to me whether anyone really thinks Syria will hand over weapons, but the accidental foreign policy of President Obama is racing towards an accidental solution anyway. Obama can read the writing on the wall.

The president will address the nation from the Oval Office this evening at 9pm Eastern to make his case for war . . . or possibly for weapons inspections or possibly for whatever accidental diplomacy turns up in the next 14 hours. At this point they've probably got VP Biden duct-taped and stashed in a closet, y'know?
