Things I’d Like to Post About Today ….. (081108, Morning, Round 2)

But I Don’t Have Any Time For (graphic HT to Doug Ross):

• Georgia on my mind — Anyone else think that the USSR v. Georgia hostilities reinforce the need to maximize the development of our own God-given natural resources — ASAP?
• Consider the hype as prices went up, this is the most invisible story in America — “Retail gasoline prices have fallen for the 24th straight day, a AAA survey of gas station sales showed.” The Georgia situation may have ended that.
• Georgia presidential candidate reax — McCain 1, Obama 0.
• Columbuser, who has just returned to active blogging (welcome back!), has another addition to the “By their fruits, you shall know them” list.
• Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, Democrat, was charged Friday with two felony assaults. The Detroit Free Press, as usual, didn’t identify Kilpatrick as a Democrat.
• Jerome Corsi, in his book “The Obama Nation,” has done the work traditional media has mostly refused to do for almost two years. The need for follow-up work on “The One” I refer to as “Mr. BOOHOO-OUCH” (Barack O-bomba Overseas Hussein “Obambi” Obama - Objectively Unfit Coddler of Haters) was clear in various late-2006/early-2007 BizzyBlog posts (or in the comments), at least including here, here, here, here, and here. Though Corsi’s book has debuted at Number 1 on the New York Times best-sellers list, it’s getting the la-la-la treatment in the press. As the John Edwards saga shows, press non-coverage doesn’t matter quite as much any more. In fact, non-coverage can make a story more visible if non-coverage becomes an adjunct story.
