Conventional copywriter Mark Steyn in the first lady’s flaccid #BringBackOurGirls slacktivism:

Here’s a small flavor of the linked piece:

It is tough not to have total contempt for a political culture that thinks the picture at right is a good share to rescuing 276 schoolgirls kidnapped by jihadist savages in Nigeria. However some pajama child during the White home evidently believed having the First Lady to pose with this particular week’s Hashtag of Western erectile dysfunction would reflect well upon the management. The awful thing is they could be right: Michelle showed she cared – on social networking! – and that’s all that issues, isn’t it?

Read the whole thing.

May possibly not function as the hashtag they desire, however it’s the hashtag they deserve.

Steyn comes with an indication: “If the hashtag doesn’t work, perhaps we’re able to sway Boko Haram to trade the girls for these guys.” That might be these guys:

Mixed messages: Obama and Kerry offer conflicting perspectives on Snowden

http://twitter.com/#!/ChrisLoesch/status/350375683224109057

The confusion is understandable.

John Kerry has said people could actually die as a result of the Snowden leaks:

And here’s president Obama speaking in Africa today:

Others are curious about the discrepancy as well:

Obama referred to Snowden as a “29-year-old hacker” when in fact he is a 30 year old leaker, but maybe he didn’t go to that briefing.
