Sour grapes: “The current discontent with Obama among some on the left is not evenly distributed among liberal groups. Advocates for health care and the environment tend to be the most enthusiastic about the new president’s efforts. Immigrants’ rights groups are wary, while civil libertarians and human rights activists seem to be the most dejected.”

POTUS’s antitrust declarations shift government’s targeting from Microsoft to Google: “The approach is closer to that of the European Union, where regulators last week fined Intel $1.45 billion for abusing its power in the chip market. In this new climate, the stakes appear to be highest for Google, the rising power of the Internet economy.”

Meet Joseph Kony, one the African villains too often ignored by Western media and politicians: “Kony is arguably the most-wanted man in Africa. Uganda’s government has been chasing him for 23 years, ever since he donned a woman’s dress, claimed to be channeling the spirit world and vowed to topple the country’s president, Yoweri Museveni.”

Wanna know where that undisclosed location is? Just pull up a chair.
