After coming out with fire in their eyes, condeming Syria over its use of chemical weapons and all but calling for instant retaliation, Secretary of State John Kerry, President Obama and at least one of the United States’ strongest allies have muted their drumbeat. With a strong presumption of bombing Syria soon, the Obama administration now says no decision has been made, Britain has had a change of heart and the American public wants no part of an attack. Join Doug Bandow, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, as he discusses the pushback and possible retreat.

We’re never really focused. We’ve got Benghazi and Fast and Furious, the $16 trillion debt, IRSgate and abortion doctors flushing babies and amnesty. Stop it! We’ve got to focus. First of all, we’ve got to understand that we’re not going to fix any of these problems–none of them–until we deal with our biggest enemy. And it’s not the government, it’s the media.” Check out Joe Dan’s solution to neutralizing the media’s misdirected leverage.

Comedian/songwriter Ray Stevens weighs in on the immigration debate with a thought-provoking melody. Stevens sings, “Don’t go hiking and enter Iran, or you may never be heard from again, sneak into China and they’ll call you a spy, and in Mexico, you might face a firing squad. And forget all about going to North Korea, that’s a great example of a bad idea, so when it comes down to it, there’s only one option you got.” The good ol’ USA, of course. Tune in to hear the rest of the song, and come back here next Tuesday on LOL for some more of  the lighter side of life. — The Wickel
