The
Dog That Didn't Bark
(El perro que no ladró)
In the short story “Silver
Blaze” there’s the following exchange between Sherlock Holmes and a
Scotland Yard detective:
Gregory : “Is there any other point
to which you would wish to draw my attention?”
Holmes: “To the curious incident of
the dog in the night-time.”
Gregory: “The dog did nothing in the
night-time.”
Holmes: “That was the curious
incident.”
In other words, the guard dog didn’t
bark because he was friendly with the culprit. [Corner]

What’s
more, Obama didn’t single out for recognition any of the illegal aliens
invited by the White House and Democratic congressmen to attend.
Given that amnestying the illegal population
and hugely increasing future legal immigration is Obama’s chief
second-term policy objective, this reticence may seem like a curious
incident. But he didn’t bark because he’s in league with the House
Republican leadership to trick their rank-and-file members into saving
his presidency. Ted Kennedy’s former immigration staffer, now
on the White House staff, is working closely with McCain’s former
immigration staffer, now on Boehner’s staff, to get the functional
equivalent of the Schumer-Rubio bill through the House. And it’s not
just Boehner, of course; as the National Immigration Forum tweeted,
“@RepPaulRyan among first to stand up and applaud when Obama said it’s
time to fix broken #immigration system.”
Raising a ruckus last night ran the risk of
further complicating Boehner’s attempted snow job starting today at the
GOP retreat on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. [The Corner]
