SNIPPETS

APRIL 28,  2009

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Three armed thieves wore the blue surgical masks now ubiquitous in flu-hit Mexico City to hide their faces as they robbed watches from a department store, Mexican media said Monday.  Employees and security guards at a branch of the Sanborns department store told the daily Excelsior the thieves were able to slip through the shop Sunday without attracting attention as they blended into a sea of masked shoppers.

Are Mexican thieves opening up an imagination gap with American thieves?  I worry.

Mr. Obama, generally credited by his supporters as the most brilliant and articulate man ever to hold public or celestial office anywhere in all of human history, seems to have some trouble when the teleprompter guy messes up.  It happened yesterday, big time.  It's here, on You Tube.

If this had been George W. Bush, network anchors would have gone hysterical.  MSNBC would have broken into programs to announce a "presidential brainpower crisis."
