The incident in Irving with the young Muslim and the clock-in-a-box is looking more and more like one of those contrived confrontations designed to provoke a confrontation over which the grievance industry can show some very public outrage.
Right on cure, CAIR is complaining about the official reaction, and Obama is complementing the youth's innovation. Then there was the kid's attitude toward to law enforcement officers. Breitbart.com nails it in If It Walks Like an Influence Operation….
But let's look at that clock. On Wednesday a blogger named Anthony posted this: Reverse Engineering Ahmed Mohamed’s Clock… and Ourselves. (Link via Ed Driscoll.)
Peruse Anthony's previous posts and it's pretty clear that he knows a thing or two about science. And he contends that Ahmed's clock was not really homemade but was a simple, old, electric clock -- like one available on E-bay -- which Ahmed removed from its plastic case and reinstalled in a new housing. Sounds highly credible.
He's no Steve Jobs. But that doesn't matter to Barack Obama and Mark Zuckerberg.
