  19. Iran agrees to send uranium abroad after talks breakthrough

    Iran agreed in principle today to export much of its stock of enriched uranium for processing and to open its newly revealed enrichment plant to UN inspections within a fortnight.

    The agreements, struck at negotiations in Geneva with six major powers, represented the most significant progress in talks with Tehran in more than three years, and offered hope that the nuclear crisis could be defused, at least temporarily.

    The weary game goes on. Iran will say they're complying, we'll say they aren't, blahblahyadayada, and to steal one from JCM, the centrifuges keep spinning.
    The only difference in the equation is time.
    And it's getting short.

    You never get too reliant on other countries doing your heavy lifting, it just puts you in a weak position. No way are they going to stop trying to enrich it themselves. Gees Louise.

  24. Man, that Letterman thing...I heard on the radio that he's going to be talking about it on his show tonight.

    ReplyDelete

  26. Hi CC! Letterman's a sleaze but will surely get a pass from his cohorts.

    ReplyDelete

  27. Bare! Hahahahaha! *gasp*

    hahahahaha!

  29. I had better get off of any thread that mentions Helen Thomas! *My eyes* *My eyes!*

    Seriously, I am really trying to get to sleep at a semi-reasonable hour. So far? I have not perfected it quite as well as I wanted to, and this place is addicting!

    G'nite, all. Sweet dreams!

    (Coast to Coast is opening with Deacon Blues - one of my top ten favorite songs! Apropos of nothing whatsoever, but...I might leave the radio on until it's over.)

    I laughed so hard I think I broke something.

    Thank you, Bare.
    Excellent work!

  39. Good grief, this is how much I've been here. This is the coffeemaker I've been using lately, a Breville K-cup brewer...when it's ready to brew, it blinks "Open Head" on the blue display, and I'm starting to read "Open Thread" when I look at it.

    I need a vacation already. LOL

    ReplyDelete

  40. And I feel no sorrow for David Letterman.
    None at all.

    ReplyDelete

  41. Deacon Blues ...mine too, CC. Great tune.

    You watch for me, I can't bring myself to watch it here. I loathe that man. Tell us about it when he's finished, if you would.

    Squatch: anticlimactic? Couldn't you have found a BETTER word??

    ReplyDelete

  42. Bare, did you get D/S's avatar on the bathroom wall? I'd look at it again to see, but I don't want to!

    ReplyDelete

  43. You're welcome. I do try to be a good host LOL

    ReplyDelete

  44. Squatch, me neither. He is a hateful little man, and now to find this out...oh well.

    They arrested the blackmailer. It'll be interesting to find out who it is.

    ReplyDelete

  45. C2, that's the funniest part of the whole thing, the picture on the wall! You must look again ...

    ReplyDelete

  47. Okay, Pinkie! It'll be on YouTube pretty soon I would imagine (?) - I could put it up here later, and you can click or not. But I'll have to look up when his show is on, 'cause I never watch it and I'm not sure what time...CBS though, right?

    ReplyDelete

  48. They arrested the blackmailer. It'll be interesting to find out who it is.

    An obvious dumbass and amateur - what kinda blackmailer agrees to accept a CHECK for 2 million????

  49. THERE. Let's go! We'll have to take a laptop though. LOL

    ReplyDelete

  50. Yeah, a check for $2 million...that IS pretty funny. I hope he got a D/L number and saw two pieces of ID.

  54. Did you see her legs in Bares pic. LMAO.

    I tried to find legs that would make her look like she's got that fat alcoholic body with the skinny legs thing happening.

    That thing might go viral.

    Squirrel !

  69. Hey CC. Did you see the pic that JCM posted? Here's another.

    ReplyDelete

  71. Good grief,

    Yes northbridge it would be far funnier to be the father of the daughter who did the famous married guy and then tried to extort $2 mil from him. Or the father of all the other women who did him knowing he was married. Much more integrity in those groups I'm sure.

  85. CC,

    Another nice one is the Ozette loop, there's a campground at the north end of the lake. A 3 mile hike out to the beach, then 4 miles down the beach, and 3 miles back in.

  86. BTW, hi PBJ!! Did you grow up in Oregon?

    ReplyDelete

  98. CC,

    It's well worth a day of walking. The beaches are a long enough hike to keep a lot of people away. 4 miles of beautiful beach, less than a dozen people.

  99. Hot off the presses!

    JOHN AND ELIZABETH EDWARDS $53 MILLION DOLLAR DIVORCE

    Elizabeth Edwards has finally had enough - she's threatened to divorce her cheating husband John and claim her share of their $53 million fortune!

    The ENQUIRER has learned Elizabeth dropped the divorce bombshell after learning a former campaign aide is claiming Rielle Hunter, the mother of Edwards' love child, isn't the only woman he seduced on the campaign trail!

    Furious at his betrayals, Elizabeth - still battling Stage 4 breast cancer - has vowed to destroy her husband of 32 years by disclosing everything she knows about his political career in divorce court, insiders say.

    /The National Enquirer, of course.

  101. CC, No but my grandparents were in Portland, an uncle in Clatskanie and a great aunt that rented out cabins in Cannon Beach. We went up nearly every summer. I was raised 140 miles south of Reno, NV so it was wonderful to get a break from the desert.

    ReplyDelete

  102. Gee, I wonder what shoe will drop next. I can't imagine anybody voluntarily having sex with David Letterman...I wonder if there will be some sexual harassment suit in his future, too.

    Bare, didn't you say something funny to an HR person about sexual harassment once? I seem to remember something...what was that?

    We my sister is in St. Helens. Before my folks moved back to Idaho we'd rent a house in Oceanside OR, out by Tillamook for Thanksgiving weekend.

  106. Not at Microsoft...at that place downtown (not sure you want to name it)?

    Like when they said you needed to take a class on sexual harassment, and you said, "Oh, cool. I've always wanted to learn how to do that."

    Or some such thing.

    ReplyDelete

  107. RadarOnline.com has also learned that the alleged extortionist lived with the woman who David was involved with.

    ReplyDelete

  108. Wow, Pinkie...she's finally going to do it. I wonder how she's feeling physically.

  109. Squatch, I'll let Bare handle it

    Hey Bare, do you know why they REALLY have HR departments? Somebody has to hire the sociology majors when the graduate college!
    :)
    (no offense meant to any sociology majors here!).

    ReplyDelete

  112. Squatch, if it's going to be a choice between hearing the lurid details of Letterman's sexual harassment mess or everything she knows about his political career in divorce court from Elizabeth Edwards, it's going to have to be Edwards.

    /I can only handle one train wreck at a time. :-)

  114. Like when they said you needed to take a class on sexual harassment, and you said, "Oh, cool. I've always wanted to learn how to do that."


    Ah yes. Paul Allen's place. Yeah. Good times. At another one, I think I hit on the lady before class started, and told her, "I can get away with this right now, because I havn't had it trained out of me yet..."

    Next time they make me go to on eof those, I'm going to print up a nice sign with a basket to hang near the door that reads, "Place testicles in here on your way out..."

    ;)

    ReplyDelete

  115. 'Eveing, REALWEST! Pull up a chair, we're talking train wrecks and beaches here. Oh, and when you get a chance, scroll up and take a look at Bare's pic of Helen Thomas. Make sure you're sitting down first.

    ReplyDelete

  116. Hey Pink: "Elizabeth Edwards has finally had enough - she's threatened to divorce her cheating husband John and claim her share of their $53 million fortune!"
    I figure "her share" should be about $52,990,000.00 - that's if there's any real justice around to be bought, er, had!

    ReplyDelete

  117. /The National Enquirer, of course.

    Well, good on her I say.
    Get tired of seeing these women stand next to these bastards while they try to explain away this crap.
    Spitzers' wife should've slapped the back of his Cro-Mag head and walked off the stage at that press conference. I don't get it.

    She doesn't stand a chance. When Edwards gets in court, turns on teh waterowrks, and channels the spirit of some wrongly-accused dead adulterer, he'll get enough sympathy to win.

  119. I figure "her share" should be about $52,990,000.00 - that's if there's any real justice around to be bought, er, had!

    I did give him your e-mail.

    ReplyDelete

  121. Oh ho, Mr Bare Man, I disagree! Get Mrs. Edwards in court seated next to Rielle Hunter holding that baby that's the spitting image of the Breck Girl, and that's all she wrote. Hell, they'll probably throw is a mil or so for Rielle.

  126. Hey Bare! Good eveing to ya! I have to say that I'd expect folks to expect that, but she was stupid to stay with John, but her lawyers aren't dumb and they'll want a jury trial. And I don't give a crap how well Edwards performs (assuming he's vain enough to take the witness stand) all HER lawyers have to do is say "Mrs. Edwards, did your husband KNOW you have this HORRIBLE BREAST CANCER when he had is sexual liasons with that Woman?" She breaks down in tears and says "Oh yes, he certainly did, in fact he even cut down the number of campaign appearances he wanted me to make with him to help me conserve my energy to fight this horrible, extremely painful TERMINAL disease."
    Game, set, match.
    BTW, trial lawyers USUALLY don't fare well when they are on trial.

    If you have any further word on our mutual friend, I'd appreciate hearing from you!
    Thanks!

  129. Well our buddy who used to ride choppers with big white crosses on 'em as targets for the VC or NVA is, iirc, on vacation.
    As to our other friend, I think I'm gonna have to e-mail him some more; I'm afraid all is not quite as well as we'd hoped.

  134. White House Eyeing Narrower War Effort

    Senior White House officials have begun to make the case for a policy shift in Afghanistan that would send few, if any, new combat troops to the country and instead focus on faster military training of Afghan forces, continued assassinations of al-Qaeda leaders and support for the government of neighboring Pakistan in its fight against the Taliban.

    In a three-hour meeting Wednesday at the White House, senior advisers challenged some of the key assumptions in Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal's blunt assessment of the nearly eight-year-old war, which President Obama has said is being fought to destroy al-Qaeda and its allies in Afghanistan and the ungoverned border areas of Pakistan.

    McChrystal, commander of the 100,000 NATO and U.S. forces in Afghanistan, has asked Obama to quickly endorse his call for a change in military strategy and approve the additional resources he needs to retake the initiative from the resurgent Taliban.

    But White House officials are resisting McChrystal's call for urgency, which he underscored Thursday during a speech in London, and questioning important elements of his assessment, which calls for a vast expansion of an increasingly unpopular war. One senior administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the meeting, said, "A lot of assumptions -- and I don't want to say myths, but a lot of assumptions -- were exposed to the light of day."

    Among them, according to three senior administration officials who attended the meeting, is McChrystal's contention that the Taliban and al-Qaeda share the same strategic interests and that the return to power of the Taliban would automatically mean a new sanctuary for al-Qaeda.

  137. Hey Killian - gee I wonder if that known war and military strategist Rahm Emmanuel weighed in on that, hmmm?
    And I agree with your /RUN AWAY but the question is: where to?
    General McCrystal's experience and expertise in this matter, not to mention that of the individual and collective Joint Chiefs of Staff being questioned by a Chicago Thug is more than I can take.
    The Hubris of the White House is truly astounding, especially with regards to foreign affairs (look at Hillary's credentials - who could want a more qualifed Secretary of State - other than us and anyone with a brain, I mean). And who could possibly think that we could have a better CiC than President Obama - or Vice-President Joe "plugs" Biden - one of whom has virtually NO FOREIGN POLICY BACKGROUND and one who's knowledge of the US Armed Forces was obtained by sitting his fat ass in a chair in the US Senate and listen to PROFESSIONAL WARRIORS testify as to their experiences and analysis? (and yes I know Biden's son is in the US military in Afghanistan -good on his son, doesn't say a damn thing about his father).

  140. Oh and "But White House officials are resisting McChrystal's call for urgency, which he underscored Thursday during a speech in London, and questioning important elements of his assessment, which calls for a vast expansion of an increasingly unpopular war.

    IIRC, there are two military officers and one former National Security "expert" (who failed to alert the Clinton Administration of the threat of Al-Q) on one side (McCrystal's) and three on the other; our "Secretary of Defense" Mr. Gates, Rahm Emmanuel and Biden.
    And the KEY PHRASE in the quoted section above is "an increasingly unpopular war."
    The Afgahn people, our wonderful warriors and The United States of America are about,I fear, to have to endure horrrendous violence in the not so distant future, JUST SO OBAMA'S SHORT TERM POPULARITY SHOULDN'T FALL BY THE WAYSIDE.

  141. Battle for Waziristan looms

    PESHAWAR: After fighting brief skirmishes against militants, the Pakistan Army plans to unfold in the next few days what military officials characterise as the mother of all battles in South Waziristan, senior military and security officials said on Thursday.

    ‘If we don’t take the battle to them, they will bring the battle to us,’ a senior military official said of the militants. ‘The epicentre of the behemoth called the Taliban lies in South Waziristan, and this is where we will be fighting the toughest of all battles.’

  146. Hey JCM - gee, ya know I read that and thought to myself,how could those noted intellectuals Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega and Barrack Obama have POSSIBLEY misread that. Really, it is, once you get past the gobblydegook of prior amendments and changes to the Honduran Consttution MANFIESTLY OBVIOUS that the removal of Zeyala from office was not only permissible under the Honduran Consitution, but indeed, required under the Honduran Constitution.
    Our Nation is now run by a narcissitic Putz. A dangerous, narcissitic Putz.

    When France chides you for appeasement, you know you're scraping bottom. Just how low we've sunk was demonstrated by the Obama administration's satisfaction when Russia's president said of Iran, after meeting President Obama at the United Nations, that "sanctions are seldom productive, but they are sometimes inevitable."

    ~snip~

    Confusing ends and means, the Obama administration strives mightily for shows of allied unity, good feeling and pious concern about Iran's nuclear program -- whereas the real objective is stopping that program. This feel-good posturing is worse than useless, because all the time spent achieving gestures is precious time granted Iran to finish its race to acquire the bomb.

    Don't take it from me. Take it from Sarkozy, who could not conceal his astonishment at Obama's naivete. On Sept. 24, Obama ostentatiously presided over the Security Council. With 14 heads of state (or government) at the table, with an American president at the chair for the first time ever, with every news camera in the world trained on the meeting, it would garner unprecedented worldwide attention.

    Unknown to the world, Obama had in his pocket explosive revelations about an illegal uranium enrichment facility that the Iranians had been hiding near Qom. The French and the British were urging him to use this most dramatic of settings to stun the world with the revelation and to call for immediate action.

    Obama refused. Not only did he say nothing about it, but, reports Le Monde, Sarkozy was forced to scrap the Qom section of his speech. Obama held the news until a day later -- in Pittsburgh. I've got nothing against Pittsburgh (site of the G-20 summit), but a stacked-with-world-leaders Security Council chamber it is not.

  151. Hey Sasquatch "‘If we don’t take the battle to them, they will bring the battle to us,’" gee, I seem to remember a US President, not that far back, saying the same thing and because he said the same thing and actually walked the walk, George W. Bush kept us safe from further attacks on US Soil.
    I wonder why it is that Emmanual, Biden, Gates and Obama don't understand that?

  157. Hamas to give proof Israeli alive

    Militants to trade video of Schalit in return for freeing 20 prisoners

    JERUSALEM–In a surprise deal announced Wednesday, Hamas will give Israel a videotape providing a first glimpse of a captured Israeli soldier to prove he is alive in return for the release of 20 Palestinian women held in Israeli prisons.

    The deal marked the first tangible sign of progress in more than three years of talks aimed at a larger prisoner exchange, and it could lead to an end to a crippling blockade of the impoverished, war-torn Gaza Strip, which is ruled by militant Islamic Hamas.

    Israel said the video-for-prisoners exchange would take place Friday.

  158. Hey Pink, KRAUTHAMMER really hit that one out of the Park.
    and I have NO IDEA why Obama "saved" that information for release in Pittsburg (which is a very decent place, btw) instead of releasing it in front of all those heads of State (or Nations )who were all sitting right there? Or why, afaik, Krauthammer was the first and primary source for this story?

  172. Watching Letterman, he's making fun of Republicans and telling infidelity jokes about...politicians. "Obama's an unusual politician...he's on a business trip with his wife!" "Taking a hike on the Appalachian Trail, if you know what I'm saying..."

    What an ass.

    Interesting about Sarkozy. To bad it kind of sounds like heresay. I'll bet he said it though. It's obvious to anyone who wants to see.

    ReplyDelete

  175. CC, are you watching Letterman, or are you watching someone tell jokes?

    You can't be doing both, because they're mutually exclusive.

    ReplyDelete

  176. Joke about Todd Palin. Says his book would be called, "Still Sitting On My Ass".

    As if Todd Palin sits on his ass.

    Letterman is a d-bag.

    ReplyDelete

  177. Pi Guy, good point. I'm waiting for him to talk about his own behavior. I hear he's doing that tonight. Actually...he's probably going to talk about the guy who tried to blackmail him, and not so much about what he did.

    It's all jokes about other people and sex, and making fun of Republicans so far.

    I loathe Letterman. I really do.

  179. You guys made me turn on Letterman. OMG, don't know how much I can take of it.

  187. Wait a minute, I'm looking at the Amazon Bestseller list right now, and there's her book at the top!

    ReplyDelete

  188. Weird, Pi - I was just there. I clicked on bestsellers (thought I did, anyway), and in first place on my screen was the book that was number two last night.

    I must have been looking in the wrong place. Thanks.

    New thread upstairs, to hang until fruit cup. Anybody wants to watch Letterman, there it is.
