A recap of various opinions regarding Obama's epic fail in Geneva in the NYTimes.
Funny closing line: On the positive side — and perhaps to the chagrin of Gore Vidal and NewsMax — at least he managed to leave the country and return without facing a coup.
Good night, Pink! I'm right behind you, unfortunately...but that'll make lol's gig easier at least! If we're not here, she won't have to pull any posts. ; )
Good night littleyounglady! Keep your nightstick handy! ; ) (I think there's a history thread going up at 5:00AM PST and a Saturday open going up at 8:30AM PST...not too long from now.)
Now that Letterman is disgraced, Obama decides it may be a good idea to meet with McChrystal after all.In Denmark? He couldn't go visit our troops somewhere!?
I have to fire up the Photoshop and see what I can come up with for C2. ;-) I could ask CC to do it for me, but then it would look GREAT. It's not supposed to look great. ;-)
The Obama administration and its allies have said repeatedly that they will pursue diplomacy until the end of the year and then seek sanctions if diplomacy hasn't worked. That sets up a foreseeable and very unpleasant crossroads. "If by early next year we are getting nothing through diplomacy and sanctions," says scholar Kenneth Pollack of the Brookings Institution's Saban Center, "the entire policy is going to be revealed as a charade."
I got a new version (probably about 4 steps from my old version) of Photoshop a few months ago. Unfortunately, these days my "learning curves" may as well be mountain ranges. :-(
The brief, amicable visit with the leaders of the coup highlighted a divide in Washington, where the Obama administration considers the interim government illegitimate and is working to reinstate Zelaya. Many conservatives, however, side with the government installed after soldiers arrested the president in his pajamas and flew him into exile.
DeMint said before the trip that even calling Zelaya's overthrow a coup is "ill-informed and baseless."
I'm remembering Pelosi's visit to Syria. I suppose it's all in the eyes of the beholder (?)
We are, increasingly, being governed by bureaucrats and autocrats who actually believe the country can grow its debt and its expenditures faster than it grows its economy and still survive. The fact is, such a society cannot survive except by pillaging the wealth of its own citizens wherever it can find it. The taxpaying classes, upper and middle, should thus be forewarned. The taxman cometh.
To paraphrase T.S. Eliot “this is the way freedom ends, not with a bang but a whimper.”
Chaos as transatlantic flights grounded by major air traffic control failure Almost all transatlantic flights between Britain and North America have been grounded by a major ar traffic control failure that has delayed thousands of passengers.
"minding my own business" - Well, I'll try to pop in and help you out from time to time. It's ALWAYS so gratifying when some one else takes the time to mind your business for you. "You're NOT wearing that dress young laddy!"
193 million to help with your bills? Not if Reid and Pelosi have anything to say about it. Brazil doesn't have an extradition treaty if I remember correctly.
Gee, October in the great North East and they're calling for a nasty winter. Much snow, roads closed,supplies running low - looks like some maruading deer might suffer an "accident" to help fill the larder?
I could have told you "nasty winter". Rainy chilly summer. Already wearing sweaters in the beginning of October. Dog is doing her November shedding early. Caterpillars...well, actually, I haven't seen any. :-)
Mild summer here on the Gulf. Power bill lower than last summer. I didn't sweat nearly as much at the shop and didn't lose my usual 15 pounds. That means I'll have to watch the intake this winter to be able to wear the present pair of pants. In honor of our long association, I am wearing pants - no Pink Freud for me.
Dats right. I was talking with you last year about the AMA races at Mid Ohio wasn't I. Didn't go this year, race crew went, we were backed up at the shop so I stayed home.
Geepers - Is a deal, we're working on a couple of "new" bikes for the AHRMA races next year. "Just because it's old don't mean it's slow" lol can bring tom down and work the fruit cup stand..
lol- Give me advanced notice. I'll get a cleaning crew in and get you set up. You'll get your own room and bathroom, cable TV and internet. Will provide a car (is a 5 series BMW OK?) and a list of good restaurants. It will be cool though, this ain't Key West.
G - Don't race myself, pit crew. We"re running a couple of Triumph Thruxtons, a Seely Norton, Ducati Supersport, a couple of KTMs - also do half mile with a custom Triumph and a Norton Commando engined frame.
Why does Pelosi have those bangs? - So people won't notice the "career termination" light flashing on her forehead. Dang, I wish I could remember which movie that line came from - Oh yes, the police helicopter movie.
Here's the usual, and I'm taking a poll. In my part of the country (the Carolinas) there are billboards for a breakfast treat, the fried bologna biscuit.
Anyone who'd like to weigh in, from "yay!" to "not in this lifetime", please feel free.
The reduced hours in my day job still include Saturdays (of course) so I'm outta here.
Have a great day, and I hope to catch up with you later.

ReplyDeletedowsn't say on which side of the pond but I assume Britain/the Continent since there's no mention of US domestic.
ReplyDeleteSo, lol - come here often? I woke up early today and deciced to check in to see who was really hard core.
ReplyDeleteMe? I'm just the fruitcup lady.
ReplyDelete/sitting here...minding my own business... ;-)
86F today, light clouds. Bike later on then our monthly dinner ride. Life is now good to acceptable. ( No, I didn't hit the Powerball either)
ReplyDelete"minding my own business" - Well, I'll try to pop in and help you out from time to time. It's ALWAYS so gratifying when some one else takes the time to mind your business for you. "You're NOT wearing that dress young laddy!"
ReplyDeletePowerball is TONIGHT, and you may as well not play since the winning ticket is already in my wallet.
ReplyDelete193 million! That should help out with a few overdue bills. ;-)
Blogspot is being even more of a pain in the butt than usual...if that's possible :-(
193 million to help with your bills? Not if Reid and Pelosi have anything to say about it.
ReplyDeleteBrazil doesn't have an extradition treaty if I remember correctly.
Feh.
ReplyDeleteOh Noes! The dreaded and irreversable "Feh"
ReplyDeleteAre you having page loading problems, Panhandler?
ReplyDelete/or is it just me? :-(
Gee, October in the great North East and they're calling for a nasty winter. Much snow, roads closed,supplies running low - looks like some maruading deer might suffer an "accident" to help fill the larder?
ReplyDeleteNope, so far so good. Was hanging up the other day but is good now. To quote a famous philospher - Clear your cache!
ReplyDeleteI could have told you "nasty winter". Rainy chilly summer. Already wearing sweaters in the beginning of October. Dog is doing her November shedding early. Caterpillars...well, actually, I haven't seen any. :-)

lol - corruption. Nope, doesn't compute. lol wouldn't use the stick, she's from the old school - "No fruit cup for you"
ReplyDeleteRemind me Geepers, what general geographic area do you call home.

Central Ohio.
ReplyDeleteThose of us who are HTML challenged thank lol and Geepers very much.
ReplyDeleteDats right. I was talking with you last year about the AMA races at Mid Ohio wasn't I. Didn't go this year, race crew went, we were backed up at the shop so I stayed home.
ReplyDeleteMid Ohio is a nice little track. Great for spectators. Used to go to the 24 Hour race. Very cool to be able to camp right next to the course.
ReplyDeleteNext time you make it up this way we'll have to try to get together.

ReplyDeleteWhat Ledeen doesn't understand is the White House NTOH policy. When you're as omnicient as Obama you don't need advice.
ReplyDelete"Just because it's old don't mean it's slow"
ReplyDeleteTrue that.
Ever seen The World's Fastest Indian.?
G - Pre ordered it when the DVD was released. Watch it about once a month. The movie "Indian" used a Ducati Monster motor and we sell Ducatis.
ReplyDeleteFigures. this just may be the first time in over 10 years that we don't go down to Florida.
ReplyDeleteDucati's are sweet. Almost mystical like Lamborghini's.
ReplyDeleteSo what do you race?
Oh well. It's your funeral.
