Mornin’, BT
McSFB has said the same thing about VN for years. Lemme see now, neither the British nor the Soviets could break the will of the Afghan people, what makes this fuckin’ moron think an overstretched US military can do it?
current fake news
SUB-ROSA NEWS
Some of the News
That may be True
SALAHIS GUEST CAPER WAS JUST A TEST
Confirming current rumors around Washington, CIA spokeswoman Debra Roberts told reporters that gate crasher incident was,indeed, a CIA operation. In a hastily called press conference, Roberts explained that the Secret Service and CIA had used the Salahis as a test of state dinner security at the White House. She noted that the socialite couple had been recruited 2 years ago and then trained for the operation. Training had included the infiltration of carefully chosen social events such a Black Caucus celebratory dinner.
For the White House state dinner, the Salahis were instructed to get as close as possible to the President and senior officials in order to show the gravity of such a security breach.The CIA deems the exercise a success and regrets the ensuing negative publicity. Not only does it test basic gate security but it also demonstrates how people who would do harm might adopt a disguise that could catch security personnel off guard.

I’m gonna hold my breath waiting for good news on climate change and medical care reform. Not.
I see, the Senate is all about killing corporations and families.
Let’s add 9/11/01 as a day to the list of days which will long live in infamy.
We’re now fighting longer than we did in WWII – the good war.
Days have consequences.
Re: more like this pls; Diverting the TARP to Main Street, good Detour. Maybe public service is returning to government as the disaster to our economy from cutting back on wages and benefits sinks in.
Took the words right out of my fingers.
Good morning all. Thanks for the post BT.
CBS full fledged Sarah Coverage….including a supporting McOld.
Obama’s little “pep talk” to the Dem caucus will result in the Senate bill being an absolute clusterfuck, moreso than it is now. Ben Nelson (forced birther-LaLaLand) is going to introduce his forced-birth amendment today.
Good Morning.
Why would we want to break their will anyway? I think we should mind our own bees wax.
And, yes yes yes to New Jobs Programs. There’s a lot that we need more of, please.
It’s raining in Los Angeles. It’s why I’m up so early. Heard the rain and remembered that I left my car window open.
Less of that horse shit, please.
A piece by Tariq Ali on Afghanistan.
You like that word, dontcha? *g*
Stupid question here. I’ve heard the second word in the title of Sarah’s book prounced Rogue, as in a dishonest, knavish person; scoundrel. But, looking at the book on the Book Salon ad to the right of this comment box, it’s spelled Rouge…as in RED.
A little help here?
Si. And, thank you. You have learned me a new wordie.
Read the stuff under the pic of the book.
One is Palin’s book the other is the spoof by Nation mag.
Thanks for the link. Here’s my favorite line:
Ah ha! Thanks guys. I realized I hadn’t had my coffee yet, which I have now made. Sheesh. Nothing like starting the week out as a dope.
Tariq writes a lot of stuff that never gets printed in the US. He’s from Pakistan, lives in London. Only way I know to keep up with his writing is to visit his website.
Then the week can only get better. *g*
G’Morning….glad you explained the window….I was wondering what you are doig up pre-dawn. Im thinking about going back to bed..
More Tiger stories.ugh
I’m glad I remembered it, ’cause I would have had a soggy ride to work this morning.
Re: Tiger. Why do people take pleasure in others pain/problems?
Gotta break his will.
My window is open too and it is 6 degrees and snowing. Fortunately my vehicle is parked in the garage.
Well, that’s a good thing….and sounds like a day for staying in to me.
Uh oh. You just brought up a sore subject. Mine’s used to store junk. I don’t want to talk about it. *g*
Yep. Uh, boss, I’m sorry but I can’t get the car out of the garage.
I used to store junk in my car too.
But I got tired of always having to ride alone.
Yikes, I just saw what Tiger Wood’s alledged mistress said.
Way to much information.
I have a bunch of leave I have to take before the end of the year and now I’m trying to figure out what to do. . .don’t mention that to my bride please!
Off to swim in the great capitalist cesspool.

Mornin’, bro. It’s not like there isn’t a wealth of reading to catch up on, right?
Would it hurt your feelings if I said You’re Weird? :)

We’re all bozos on this bus.
It was pretty good, it starts during the Watts riots and had stuff I clearly recall cuz we lived in Inglewood. Later he talked about the Minutemen in Champaign sending post cards to lefites “the cross hairs are on your back”. It’s interesting to read stuff you lived but are not sure your memory has right.
Pearl Harbor Day.
We have been talking in our house how all of this about Tiger came out at once and the timing… on the heels of his charity tournament.
Oh, that Mel! Lili had a couple lines like that too. Actually, somewhere I had read the different versions.
