The only wrinkle is that Biden’s original comments were recorded from a private reception. When it surfaced Obama had to brush it all off as figures of speech. So I’m not sure that he meant to plant that.

But that aside, your point is taken. Many false leads are thrown out there for bloggers to chase down for nothing. And certainly, many times things have been predicted that never happened. It’s sort of a chicken and egg problem. We don’t know if digging around alters their plans, but I have to think that sometimes it does. I think they keep having to kick the can down the road, and then things change, and they have to kick it again. Hopefully we can run the clock out this way.

There have been a few people who would be in the know (Joe Biden and Colin Powell included) who have mentioned something in passing about some major incident around MLK day right after Obama takes office. Of course there is a lot of serious web discussion about this. But why should we believe it? For one, why the leaks, and why are they only these passing comments, not even reported the next day? I think it is more likely that whatever is to happen is minor if anything. Instead it smells more like psyops against bloggers who pounce on these things. So when the web would have you believe something big is about to go down, in contrast to the mainstream media mentioning nothing, a situation is set up to marginalize the credibility of those who get this wrong. The other question is, what now would be the purpose of some major event, especially having leaked it would happen?

The Poor Man used to do awards for people like this. The Palm d’Hair and the Wank of the Year. Remember that? Too funny. I really miss him.

Rowan is a partisan hack perpetuating a new chapter in the ongoing saga known as

"Stabbed In The Back"

He proclaimed doom and gloom when Clinton was driving the War Bus here:

THAT "GIANT SUCKING SOUND" IS U.S. EQUIPMENT BEING VACUUMED INTO CLINTON'S KOSOVO TRASHCAN

Now that his fellow thugs are losing grip on the Bus' Steering Wheel 'o Justice he's laying blame on those non-Neocons who would dare to contest his comrades' judgement.
