... and was wondering where all the anti-war protesting was. Then I came across this post and felt it said everything very succinctly.
This small, Oil-rich nation, which we have tangled with and harassed before (does our President have psychological reasons for pursuing this?), has announced a ceasefire and stated its intention to comply with all relevant UN resolutions. The opposition is fragmented and tribal loyalties dominate, meaning that even if we succeed in ousting the current leader, all that may accomplish would be to take the country to the Brink ™ of a Civil War, requiring an occupation in a murky society where we are not wanted. This will, if anything, Create Terrorists ™ and not Make Us Safer ™ at all.

Sticking with a Friday Music Theme......
Two Suns In The Sunset lyrics
in my rear view mirror the sun is going down
sinking behind bridges in the road
and i think of all the good things
that we have left undone
and i suffer premonitions
confirm suspicions
of the holocaust to come
the wire that holds the cork
that keeps the anger in
gives way
and suddenly it's day again
the sun is in the east
even though the day is done
two suns in the sunset
hmmmmmmmmm
could be the human race is run
like the moment when your brakes lock
and you slide toward the big truck
and stretch the frozen moments with your fear
and you'll never hear their voices
and you'll never see their faces
you have no recourse to the law anymore
and as the windshield melts
my tears evaporate
leaving only charcoal to defend
finally i understand
the feelings of the few
ashes and diamonds
foe and friend
we were all equal in the end
in my rear view mirror the sun is going down
sinking behind bridges in the road
and i think of all the good things
that we have left undone
and i suffer premonitions
confirm suspicions
of the holocaust to come
the wire that holds the cork
that keeps the anger in
gives way
and suddenly it's day again
the sun is in the east
even though the day is done
two suns in the sunset
hmmmmmmmmm
could be the human race is run
like the moment when your brakes lock
and you slide toward the big truck
and stretch the frozen moments with your fear
and you'll never hear their voices
and you'll never see their faces
you have no recourse to the law anymore
and as the windshield melts
my tears evaporate
leaving only charcoal to defend
finally i understand
the feelings of the few
ashes and diamonds
foe and friend
we were all equal in the end
What F&*king planet is this?....

Trump= Birther???
“If I got the nomination, if I decide to run, you may go back and interview people from my kindergarten. They'll remember me. Nobody comes forward. Nobody knows who he is until later in his life. It's very strange,” the Celebrity Apprentice host added. “The whole thing is very strange.” - Donald Trump

Visualization........
calling from the closet.. "Michelle..did you pack my thong?"
from the bathroom.... "Yes Barry.. it's next to mine."

Here, hold my Rakia*....I have an idea.....
Bulgarian man 1 "Hey I think we might have rabies and evil spirits in the village!"
Bulagrian man 2 "Oh no.. wait....I have an idea"
Bulagrian man 1 "Great! what is it?"
Bulgarian man 2 "Well, we'll go down to the river and set up 2 poles on either side, then we will run some rope from the top of one pole to the top of the other other"
Bulgarian man1 "Ya, and then what?"
Bulgarian man2 " Then we will get the dogs and wind them up in the rope. when we let them go they will spin wildly and fall into the river!"
Bulgarian man1 " Do you think that will work?"
Bugarian man 2 " But of course it will. You go get the villagers and I will get the poles, some rope and dogs" :)
an thus they warded off evil spirits and rabies at least until PETA found out.........
WARNING SOME MIGHT FIND THIS GRAPHIC!!!
Disclaimer..I love animals and was amazed at watching this and in
no way do I condone treating any animal like that. SOME humans I wouldnt hesitate to do this to.

Careful with that Axe ( and Badge) Eugene...
Well if this doesn't look like downright threatening I don't know what is.
What a fine mess this country is in, now you have Police and Fire unions sending out
carefully worded letters to pro-Scott Walker businesses with the intent to scare them
into opposing the Governor.
Wow. Here is another reason public unions should not be allowed to collectively bargain with politicians running a local or state government. Union leadership – including those from law enforcement and firefighters – have sent letters out to local businesses demanding they publicly oppose the efforts of Wisconsin’s legislature and governor or face the "consequences".
Good take on this at "Ace of Spades"

A 21-year-old Virginia man who wrote an abbreviated version of the Fourth Amendment on his body and stripped to his shorts at an airport security screening area is demanding $250,000 in damages for being detained on a disorderly conduct charge.
According to the suit, while under interrogation on December 30, the authorities wanted to know “about his affiliation with, or knowledge of, any terrorist organizations, if he had been asked to do what he did by any third party, and what his intentions and goals were.”

I want OUT.....
I heard this today on XM..... and it brought back some good memories.
I Want Out (4:39)
(Music + lyrics: K. Hansen)
>From our lives' beginning on
We are pushed in little forms
No one asks us how we like to be
In school they teach you what to think
But everyone says different things
But they're all convinced that
They're the ones to see
Bridge: So they keep talking and they never stop
And at a certain point you give it up
So the only thing that's left to think is this
Chorus: I want out--to live my life alone
I want out--leave me be
I want out--to do things on my own
I want out--to live my life and to be free
People tell me A and B
They tell me how I have to see
Things that I have seen already clear
So they push me then from side to side
They're pushing me from black to white
They're pushing 'til there's nothing more to hear
Bridge: But don't push me to the maximum
Shut your mouth and take it home
'Cause I decide the way things gonna be
Chorus: I want out--to live my life alone
I want out--leave me be
I want out--to do things on my own
I want out--to live my life and to be free
There's a million ways to see the things in life
A million ways to be the fool
In the end of it, none of us is right
Sometimes we need to be alone
(Solo: Kai/Both)
No no no, leave me alone
Chorus: I want out--to live my life alone
I want out--leave me be
I want out--to do things on my own
I want out--to live my life and to be free....and thats when the fight started....
Man sitting at home on the verandah with his wife and he says, "I love you."
She asks, "Is that you or the beer talking?"
He replies, "It's me............. talking to the beer."
She asks, "Is that you or the beer talking?"
He replies, "It's me............. talking to the beer."
I'll see you your hunting rifle.......
and raise you one eagle.

Food prices soared 3.9 percent last month, the biggest gain since November 1974. Most of that increase was due to a sharp rise in vegetable costs, which increased nearly 50 percent. That was the most in almost a year. Meat and dairy products also rose.
