I value your comments, and hope that you will continue to grace my threads with them as you’re able, and not totally listening to your companion. Several of my friends believe the same. But yes, if we can change a few minds, and try to recover much of what we’ve lost lately, it will be [...]

Don’t take your meaning on your first paragraph, but yes, Isaiah’s comment was golden. As far as traffic, as he also said, the place is pretty dead lately. Your posts have been busy; lots of sleuths about.
The parallels here will slay you.

Thank you for reading it; Isaiah’s comment was superb plus. ;-)

Couldn’t you toke instead of drink?
Rec’d; bitterly hilarious, just my preference.

I knew I could count on your discretion, mon cher… Ack, I was certain that you were giving me this one (<<<link, hint, hint). (smile) Some are pretty glued to EF Beall's posts, trying to separate
fiction from conflicting fictionpropaganda on the Boston Bombers story, and I reckon some must have found somethin’ more productive to [...] -

SparklePonylicious that was, dear Isaiah! Good thing i’m just passin’ as female here, eh? I’d be quakin’ in my Can’t-Bust-Ems, otherwise. But hell, honey; you got it all wrong! I’m concubine to Jamie Dimon: he dotes on my sassiness, and is my hedge against charges of treason, see? It pays to have friends in exalted [...]

The Guardian has O’s counter-terrorism speech highlights up, plus a link to the transcript of the whole speech.
I stand corrected; the long war is over. It’s homegrown terrorists he’ll drone kill.

Dunno, hotdog. I’ve been retrieving some of my old posts as I remember some I’d like to keep for the Whistle Stop place, and even six months ago, lots of em would have 150, 200 comments. Mine from yesterday had…18; 40′s a good day lately. ‘Course, it may just be that I need an editor [...]

Just giggled for the time of the (ahem, cough, cough) *real* speech. Reuters says:
“The speech is scheduled for 2 p.m. (1800 GMT) at Washington’s National Defense University.”
Must be about the right time for a siesta, eh?

I wuz readin’ your piece while you wuz readin’ mine, hotdog, lol. It is just fantastic, Mr. Not Flyin’ Monkey. Ah, I miss him, too. Last day he posted here was when Teddy Partridge jammed him a few times for using too much punctuation, and…not in a nice way. My brain can get confused by [...]

Just fantastic, hotdog; dunno which themes are my faves, lol. I just put up a post that mentioned I could hardly wait to provide the first rush transcript of his assholish chicanery (bet he smiles, too.) Rec’d and rec’d again. Maybe the voluntary self-kettling in Watertown bits, I guess. You did see this gem , didn’t [...]

These excerpts from the Senate Armed Services Committee hearings on the AUMF held on May 16 may be seen as important historically, imo. Left unchecked, the testimony of these Defense officials will have signaled the basis of our foreign misadventures and the unitary executive unless outside forces stop them. You may have read about their assertions, but watching [...]

Looking for the date of the Marathon bombings for something I’m working on, I ran into this news just now. It might go into the ‘jeebus!’ pile of crazy. “ORLANDO, Fla. – A man from Chechnya with links to the Boston bombing suspects was killed early Wednesday in a FBI-involved shooting at an Orlando apartment complex.

‘Barack’s honor’: a sick oxymoron if there ever were one. But at least we know who you are.
And I’d like to recommend shootthatarrow’s comment highly, although I wouldn’t have spent the time he has.

My stars, EF Beall; what an incredible compendium of info known and not known you’ve created here. Just scanning the categories shows a lot.
Well done, and rec’d immensely.
