U.S. sees Israel drill helping Europe missile shield
Israel is beginning to face the fact that they can no longer rely on the USA. Israel's enemies are about to discover that this also means that USA basically has no leverage in restraining them, either.
littleoldlady said... Kewl! 'Public' Plan With State Option to Opt Out Mulled
Now if only we could get ALL the states to opt-out...PROBLEM SOLVED!
18 states have already passed legislation that prepares them for secession, should the need arise. At least 10 more have such bills going through their legislature.
There's a big difference between "Politics", "Diplomacy" and "Reality". Although it may have appeared at times that Israeli Government is both clueless and powerless against the world (and they were in some cases!) I don't believe that the IDF EVER takes ANYTHING for granted.
Some people really DO understand the meaning of NEVER AGAIN!
They don't have to seceed! They just have to opt-out!
Now if we can only put a clause like that into cap-and-trade and the other chazzerei coming out of Washington, we've turned all their efforts into naught.
Israel, much of the world sees "self-interest" as being out of fashion.
Keep your own interest in mind, and you'll do just fine. Oh, sure, you'll get criticized, but to take a line from the Arabs: "The dogs bark, and the caravan moves on."
"The ruling appears to short-circuit, through legal maneuverings, the open and transparent consideration by the Nicaraguan people of the possibility for presidential re-election," State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said in a statement.
"We share the concern of many Nicaraguans that this situation is part of a larger pattern of questionable and irregular governmental actions," Kelly added.
Whew. I thought that Orson Scott Card's weblog, The Ornery American, had gone dormant, but it accidentally popped up as I typed another URL starting with "or" (bitz) and I walked over there.
Don't forget: OSC is actually a registered Democrat and has always been. This is a must-read.
"People have been asking me why I haven't written a WorldWatch or a Civilization Watch in nine months.
At first it was because I wanted to give Obama a chance to show us who he is. I even hoped that maybe his pose as a middle-of-the-road bring-us-together candidate was actually true.
Now he's shown us that he's a radical leftist at heart and all his promises -- every one of them -- were lies. But he's still relatively harmless domestically because he's such an incompetent leader, unable to hold his course or persuade even his followers.
With ObamaCare on the ropes, his mischief is limited to not prosecuting his criminal friends (like the Black Panthers who openly intimidated voters in Philadelphia), appointing idiots to new offices that he invented so they wouldn't have to withstand congressional scrutiny, and completely botching American foreign policy.
I never thought I'd live to see the day, but Hillary Clinton is actually looking good as Secretary of State. At least she could go to a hellhole of corruption and fanaticism like Nigeria and speak truth to power.
Obama can't even keep a promise to the newly-freed countries of Eastern Europe to protect them from missile attacks.
Nor could he keep his promise to remain committed to victory in Afghanistan -- a war we could win, but not if Obama caves in to pressure from the stupidest wing of the Democratic Party.
Obama has now broken promise after promise and told lie after lie. Yet our leftist media give him a pass every time. Meanwhile, I still remember that President Bush was called a liar constantly, even though -- and I'm willing to stand by this -- he was never found to have told a lie in his entire presidency.
(Remember, a lie is when you knowingly make a false statement, not when you simply turn out to be wrong about something that you believed to be true.)
So I flip back and forth between regarding Obama as the new Warren G. Harding -- a man chosen as his party's candidate for president because he looked like a president, and who then governed with such incompetence that the only thing that saved his presidency was getting sick and dying in office -- and dreading him as the leader of the fanatical Left, a group with no regard whatsoever for fairness, consistency, honesty, promise-keeping, or the rule of law.
If the Left actually succeeds in achieving their agenda, we can kiss freedom in America good-bye. Fortunately, they are such incompetent clowns that even when they have the presidency and heavy majorities in Congress they can't pass anything but standard old-fashioned pork barrel bills.
How stupid and incompetent are the Fanatical Left in America today?
They're so dumb that when they desperately need to change the minds of people who disagree with them about health care, instead of listening to their opponents and compromising with them (which is how actual governing is done), they insult and vilify and slander and misrepresent and impugn the motives of those who disagree with them.
Mr. President and your chums in Congress, here's a clue, since you are clearly without one: You can only build a majority by winning the hearts and minds of the people who disagree with you.
And if you insult those people, your chance of winning them over recedes into the infinite distance.
You'll notice that I have no qualms about insulting the extremists of the Left, but that's because there is no way to win them over anyway. They are incapable of learning or even listening; they are contemptuous of logic or evidence; having learned all the things that "smart people" say, they just go on saying them without any sign that they are actually aware of the utter vapidity of their own dogmas.
But I don't have to persuade them, because they are not the majority, though they were able to get nominal control of Congress by lying merrily and getting the media to go along with them. Even now they don't realize how much trouble they're in, because the "mainstream" media barely report on their malfeasance.
More and more Americans, however, are getting their news from Fox and the Internet; more and more Americans are becoming offended by the contemptuous way Obama and his chums stand there in the dark of night telling us it's daylight and calling us names if we disagree.
So ... why haven't I written a World Watch till now?
Because you already got the message without my help.
However, I do have a few essays up my sleeve, which will see the light of day in weeks to come.
Chances are, however, that I won't say much about the hot-button issues that are already being discussed to death. Contrary as I am, I'm more inclined to turn my laser-like -- OK, Eveready flashlight-like -- wit on the issues that I think have more to do with our daily lives than with current politics.
Besides, if Obama doesn't face a Congress solidly in the control of the Republican Party after the 2010 election (the way Clinton did after 1994), it means that either the Republicans really are the Stupid Party, or the American people are grimly determined to keep getting kicked by the same mule. "
Sensing that victory in the race for Virginia governor is slipping away, Democrats at the national level are laying the groundwork to blame a loss in a key swing state on a weak candidate who ran a poor campaign that failed to fully embrace President Obama until days before the election.
If this goes the way that everyone thinks it will, I am happy for the people of Virginia!
I missed this first time around. Brian Lancaster at Jumping in Pools reported on Obama’s college thesis, written when he was at Columbia. The paper was called “Aristocracy Reborn,” and in the first ten pages (which were all that reporter Joe Klein–who wrote about it for Time–was permitted to see), the young Obama wrote:
“… the Constitution allows for many things, but what it does not allow is the most revealing. The so-called Founders did not allow for economic freedom. While political freedom is supposedly a cornerstone of the document, the distribution of wealth is not even mentioned. While many believed that the new Constitution gave them liberty, it instead fitted them with the shackles of hypocrisy.”
That’s quite an indictment, even for an Ivy League undergraduate. I wonder if the prof–and I’d like to know who the prof was–made an appropriate marginal comment, something about historical context, about the Constitution’s revolutionary status in the history of freedom, and about the separation of powers in order to make the creation of any “shackles” as difficult as possible.
Maybe instead of fuming about words that Rush Limbaugh never uttered, the paladins of the free press might ask the president about words that he did write. Maybe he’d like to parse “the so-called Founders,” for example. I’d like to know what he thinks of those words today. And what about the rest of the thesis?
(What's new with the supposedly comatose mullah, Michael?)
WASHINGTON/CHICAGO, Oct 22 (Reuters) - U.S. communications regulators voted unanimously Thursday to support an open Internet rule that would prevent telecom network operators from barring or blocking content based on the revenue it generates.
The proposed rule now goes to the public for comment until Jan. 14, after which the Federal Communications Commissions will review the feedback and possibly seek more comment. A final rule is not expected until the spring of next year.
ROFLMAO!!! I sent around an e-mail to all my friends and family from my mom. It was of the sunset at the north pole. A real beautiful picture. I just got a reply back from one of my brothers. Here's what he sent to me. :D)))
Volunteers wanted for simulated 520-day Mars mission
Starting in 2010, an international crew of six will simulate a 520-day round-trip to Mars, including a 30-day stay on the martian surface. In reality, they will live and work in a sealed facility in Moscow, Russia, to investigate the psychological and medical aspects of a long-duration space mission. ESA is looking for European volunteers to take part.
Oh. Just Europeans? I guess Americans are too likely to get antsy, huh? ;-)
Good morning C2. Ran out of real coffee and has to use half decaf to make the full pot. Not a good start. The good news is I get to go to the store and try a new brand now, any suggestions? I do not like Starbucks very much ...
Somebody raided my fridge last night (bet that was disappointing). All the Doritos are gone. The trashcans are full, all of them.
The albums are all mixed up, the stereo is on. Some of the books are upside down on the shelves and not in their correct places. There are at least six different brands of beer cans and bottles stacked on everything flat. Little moisture rings on my turntables!
My smoking pipes! OMG! Everyone of them has lipstick on it and WTH is that in Dad's old meerschaum? Great, now I've got to re-stem everything...
The Dobermans won't come out from under the bed. There's a pair of womens panties hanging from the dining room light, somebodies bra is clogging the toilet, and there are dainty little fingerprints all over the gun collection.
Hi Jim! Creigh Deeds was not ready for prime time, and even this White House knew it. I don't want to jinx the whole thing, because stranger things have happened, but you just KNOW good ol' Terry McAuliffe is laughing right about now.
Morning Jim in V -- from what I hear and see, and i admit I'm not following closely , but there's a lot of that going around and them are about to take a few to the chin in these gubernatorial elections.
"Since the 1970s, though, Turkey has banned the exportation of meerschaum nodules, trying to set up a local meerschaum industry. The once famous manufacturers have therefore disappeared. Nowadays, meerschaum pipes not obtained from Turkish producers are usually made of pressed meerschaum or African meerschaum, which are inferior in quality."
Real antique meerschaum pipes, especially ones that are well and properly aged, are somewhat rare and hard to come by these days. The one I have is fourth generation (that I know of) in my family and by family legend is supposed to be the only thing my great-grandfather brought with him through Ellis Island.
Morning JiV, AW. Looks like it's almost time for me to be going here. Don't forget to (/shameless blog pimping) Check out my post this morning. It should be up in about an hour. :)

Things are well. AH is very busy. The meetings went well, though I don't think he scored a win on getting the good General to commit to running, nor a really cool job for me on his campaign! DAMN HIM! ;)
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez told citizens Wednesday to limit their showers to three minutes because the country is having problems supplying water and electricity.
"Some people sing in the shower, in the shower half an hour," he said during a televised cabinet meeting. "No kids, three minutes is more than enough. I've counted, three minutes, and I don't stink."
There's not enough water IN THE WORLD that could make you not stink, Hugo!

Things are well. AH is very busy. The meetings went well, though I don't think he scored a win on getting the good General to commit to running, nor a really cool job for me on his campaign! DAMN HIM! ;)
ReplyDeleteIf nothing else, make sure you teach your kids HOW TO WORK
ReplyDeleteAmerica needs them! :-(
Cross: I did Coke at WHCD How classy.
ReplyDeleteWH raises the ante with Fox - tries to bar from interview Un-friggen-believable. VIA hotair
ReplyDeleteArmy Wife, I think Rahm and Axelrod finally crossed the line. The rest of the White House press corps grew a backbone.
ReplyDeleteThings will go downhill fast.
Render. Nice place you got over there. Sure be a shame (swings baseball bat) if anything bad happened to it.

I hope so Jim. I hope someone figures out the games being played now can come back to haunt when the conservatives take the WH back.
ReplyDeleteTime to head to work. Y'all play safe.
ReplyDeleteSee ya, Jim! :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day at work. I am going to get some laundry done!
ReplyDeleteWell, well...there must be a lot of frustrated people in Venezuela...
ReplyDeleteVenezuelan President Hugo Chavez told citizens Wednesday to limit their showers to three minutes because the country is having problems supplying water and electricity.
"Some people sing in the shower, in the shower half an hour," he said during a televised cabinet meeting. "No kids, three minutes is more than enough. I've counted, three minutes, and I don't stink."
There's not enough water IN THE WORLD that could make you not stink, Hugo!
Well I am back, and online. Looks like I may have a busy day for a bit. This can be a good thing. ;)
ReplyDeleteMorning, all.
ReplyDeleteQuick in out. Gotta get ready for work and take the cat to have his staples removed. After they do that, I just hope he stays properly collated.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteBye!
Hi!
Bye!
People come and go so quickly here!...
Lucius, collated! ROTFL!
Got a link to a protest here in Canada over GWB. I will save it for the new thread. :)
