Out to Lunch

Have been playing and shopping for essentials for the nitty-gritty of existence....blinds, etc. In the meantime and we do mean MEAN time, the world continues to revolve and regurgitate meaningfully. We have been contemplating some of the offering by the media sphincter.

WaPo reported today that various U.S. attorneys are competing for the high profile cases of the Gitmo detainees. Oh, how careers are built upon the mountains of bones and broken bodies of so many: too many to be counted at this point. Still, there is no end to the idiocy of the people's choice in Kansas. Both the Governor and a Senator have denounced any play that would put any of the detainees at Fort Leavenworth. The Governor was really worried that the reputation of the fort would be marred by the celebrity guests. There are rumors that Trump may offer one of his bankrupt casinos as the site for a prison facility for the Gitmo refugees. It is just impossible to make these guys sound any more stupid than they are...and they were elected by the good citizens of Kansas.

Bill is over in N. Korea to see if he can get the girls back. Good luck Bill. We expect that Bill's date book may be exchanged for the two jounalists. As we all know, the careers of these two ladies is made...the book deals, interviews and national tours should more than compensate them for their inconvenience. Will it be Diane Swayer or Katie Coric who gets to them first? Inquiring minds want to know.

By the way, has anyone been following the two wars we are still conducting. It is very likely that more troops will be going to Afghanistan as the draw down in Iraq continues. The fact of the matter is that 60,000 for 200,000 troops will make absolutely no difference in Afghanistan unless there is a tribal solution to power sharing by interested parties. The U.S. ignores a thousand years of history by plunging deeper into this conflict.

The clowns of Wall Street continue to dance around and wish a false recovery into being and the media dances right along with them. The mortgage crisis continues and unemployment will hit 11% by the end of March...Yes, kids, I have spoken. Remember, we were being told by the Obamaists that 9% was the worse they foresaw in 2009. It is past that right now. If the numbers were real, we would be taking about 16% unemployment now...if we included discouraged workers. Unemployment among minority youth is double the national average. So, what's to celebrate?

Yes, the billions of dollars of bonus money that is about to be bestowed upon Wall Street';s most deserving! That is good news. Your tax dollars at work.

Have a happy
