Not quite the Eye of Sauron…
…but with the same laser-like focus.
Jamie Jeffords, who blogs under the alias, the Eye of Polyphemus, is a conservative, Christian, law school graduate who spends most of his time reviewing science fiction shows, posting pictures of pretty celebrities (largely to increase webtraffic), and fielding questions from his readers via Formspring. He occasionally waxes philosophic regarding his legion of medical conditions (hence his legion of typos), and on the body politic.
Dr. J. is a regular reader of his, partly because Dr. J. likes sci-fi, and partly because Dr. J. enjoys Jamie’s earnestness and honesty in his writing. Dr. J. believes he does his best work on the occasions when he turns his eye towards politics. He doesn’t overdo it, so when he does it, it is usually well done, and with some amusing pop culture references.
Yesterday he wrote regarding President Obama’s jobs speech kerfuffle and Dr. J. thinks he nails it here (Dr. J. highly recommends reading the whole thing):
Anyway, it is no secret Obama deliberately scheduled his speech to distract from the Republican debate., but was it incompetence or an attempt to set up a confrontation with Congressional Republicans that the White house forgot to consult with Speaker John Boehner over the scheduling? Neither would surprise me, but whichever the case, the speech has been moved to accommodate both congress and NFL fans. Double whammy there for Obama. A triple threat if you count how lackluster the final season of Lost was. Not that anyone in his right mind would prefer listening to an Obama speech to watching mediocreLost.
Now back to your regularly scheduled ‘Babe of the Eye…’
