Such a beautiful picture. I’ll look forward to the additions. Now a story on how corporations now steal billions from educations and gouge government for the privatization of education.

Yes, blue, weather in the east got much better than predicted. Nice weekend for a proper sendoff. Happy travels, Lard. Hope your ashes drift into the Gulf Stream before long and you take a trip to Europe or to Africa on the beginning of your journey to the 7 seas.

Note to Republicans. Keep putting these clowns on the tube. It makes it so much easier to vote against Mitt.
“The American people do not want to vote for a loser.”

Poor Boner…they are trying the Rove/Atwater technique but it’s going to backfire this time
Mittens is the loser — he lost to McCain, He lost to Ted Kennedy and he barely made it out of the primaries alive …and he has had to repudiate everything he did as gov…

Bullying in HS can be brutal. Our grandson looks AA and tries to act in a way acceptable to the AA kids in his neighborhood, but many of those kids have moved into gangs. That’s when his traditional family values kick-in and he isolates himself.
Problem is, he has stepped forward and has interceded when vulnerable kids are being bullied by the gang members. This has resulted in physical attacks and other threats. The police have interceded, but they seem ill-equipped to handle the fallout of gang movement to affluent neighborhoods as inner-city public housing residents are encouraged to move into subsidized housing in those neighborhoods.
I grieve when this young man goes to bed each night with a baseball bat beside his bed.
Flatus,
I think that all of here would agree and grieve with you. Your grandson’s situation sounds terrible and all too familiar.
Your Grandson sounds like a great kid, but why wouldn’t he be? He has great genes. Hope it works out for him and for you.
My wife and I see bullying on a fairly regular basis.
Only a fool would deny that it is a serious problem, that goes well beyond, boys will be boys.
Jace, he is a great kid despite being a crack baby and having learning disabilities.
He was adopted as an infant. FWIW, I’m white as is Toots’ husband. None of Stinky and my children share any of our genes--they were all adopted as was my grandson.
Expectation of privacy? Maybe not in the DC area.

“Problem is, he has stepped forward and has interceded when vulnerable kids are being bullied by the gang members.” Flatus 04/30/2012 at 10:19 AM
Your grandson should be commended for his actions, unfortunately his actions will attack the wrong kind of attention most likely from the gangs. He needs to rethink his game plan as to how he wants to become involved while accomplishing the same goal and without himself becoming a victim. As they say, you either play or get played, or as I say change the rules to favor your side.
The official 2012 Republican National Convention delegation hotel assignments
The Republicans are getting worse each day…For the House Speaker to refer to the President as a loser is disgraceful…
Boner has let a gang of less than 50 set the legislative agenda of the House for the past 2 years. It will take less than a loss of the house to let him know what a loser actually is -- when he loses his speakership. My guess is if the ‘cants lose 15 seats in the house, Boner will lose his gavel.
Americans don’t want to vote for a loser? ONLY in Boehner’s head would the first black president of the US, Columbia grad, Harvard Law Review, U of Chicago law professor, State senator at age 35, US Senator at age 42, president at age 47 be considered a loser.
Pogo,
It is more likely that the rip ups will lose 50 House seats than 15. America is incredibly angry with these do nothing prevaricators. This is the situation we saw in ’10, when the rippers won 87 seats. It wouldn’t surprise me if they lost 87 seats. We already see rippers announcing their retirements, and pugugly strategist ed rollins has rated the campaign, “a f*cking mess”.
Caveat: a lot can happen in the next six months.
I found this and copied it, but now I can’t find the author’s name. Apologies in advance for my bandwidth violation.
“What I feel is not anger, but rather patriotic duty. America is a grand experiment in self-determination, individual liberty, and innovation: an experiment not worth conceding without a fight.”
“On New Year’s Eve, with almost no mainstream media attention given to it, President Barack Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, or NDAA, into law. Since I am not an attorney, I will fall back on the ACLU’s analysis of this disastrous new law: ‘On December 31, 2011, President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), codifying indefinite military detention without charge or trial into law for the first time in American history. The NDAA’s dangerous detention provisions would authorize the president — and all future presidents — to order the military to pick up and indefinitely imprison people captured anywhere in the world, far from any battlefield’.”
“Obama’s administration, and all future administrations (including a Romney or Gingrich administration), can now use the military to detain individuals, including political dissidents — even American citizens on U.S. soil — without trial or formal charges. Without court involvement or a jury deciding you are actually guilty. And “detain” is really a euphemism for IMPRISON, of course. You won’t be spending the lunch hour in detention. You’ll be in a semi-secret military black site, without access to your attorney, potentially for life.”
“This is what kings do. This is what bloodthirsty dictators do. This is not what freely elected American presidents are authorized by the Constitution to do.”
“Moving on: Obama also signed into law something which attacks your First Amendment rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of speech. No, this is not an Onion article.”
“You see, the Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011, or Trespass Bill, signed into law by Barack Obama on March 9, 2012, “potentially makes peaceable protest anywhere in the U.S. a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.” More specifically, peaceful protest within proximity to those protected by the Secret Service, including presidential candidates and the President, may be a federal felony now. (Source.)”
“Even worse: a former high-ranking NSA official, who spent more than three decades within the spy agency, just yesterday came out in a nationally televised interview and asserted that more than 20 trillion (yes, with a T) of American citizens’ communications have been intercepted — mostly without a warrant or judicial review of any kind.”
“One could say that William Binney, a whistleblowing patriot of the highest order, is now toward the top of the list of people who might experience a ‘slip in the shower’ or ‘unexpected suicide’ within the next few weeks.”

CT -- I do not remember where he was interviewed that he revealed his positions. Honestly, this heat in Southern California is draining me to the point that I really do not want to go look for it. The thing about politicians is no matter how hard they try to make you see them as one way the other way shows itself. Just look at Romney and Obama.
KGC -- I did mind that edit. Although I spoke ineloquently, I meant to hit him hard on JFK first. I have tried to say this a while ago, but everyone, whether knowingly or not, speaks the way that they do for a purpose.
We know that President Obama told a group of conservatives at a dinner at George Will’s house less than two weeks into his first term that he intended to “reform” as in cut Social Security and Medicare as soon as the economy was stabilized.
Has Obama got most of the Democratic Party behind him now? What is up with Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) support of Paul Ryan’s Medicare voucher based reform plan? Obama with the Republicans and Democrats will implement what George W. Bush could not accomplish during his second term. He has done that before. Shipping truck driving jobs to Mexican truck drivers with a NAFTA cross-border trucking agreement when the jobless rate is over 9%, something George W. Bush could not accomplish in 2007.
John Breaux Sees Democrats Embracing Paul Ryan’s Plan To ‘End Medicare’
By Michael McAuliff, April 30, 2012 3:12 PM
I wasn’t faulting your eloquence at all — I find Tweety so revolting I haven’t watched him in years. In my view, nothing he says he worth anything —
The edit was my take — Next to Tucker Carlson Tweety is one of the biggest fools on the planet. All you have to do is watch the show he did with his wife after his book came out — sad and pathetic
“Just look at Romney and Obama.”
Jaslf….I know..I know. I was looking and what I saw wasn’t pretty. Praying for a miracle.
That article XR linked was very scary but doesn’t surprise me. Anyone hear from Jesse Ventura? Did someone bump him off?
Jaslf,
It is true that real experts are not on the air to counter the drivel, illogic, and lies of chris matthews and charles murray.
Real experts (unless they are expert entertainers or pitchmen) aren’t much fun, and broadcasting is all about creating fun to draw ears and eyeballs to the adverts. Blithering shit factories like Tweety an expert at bringing ears and eyeballs to the ads, and therefore you find his brainless drivel on the boob tube.
murraysist is controversial, and controversy (conflict, actually) brings viewers. That is the only reason murraysist shows up on any non-Fakes News venue. He shows up on Fakes News because he massages racist messages that comfort the perverted lemmings who suck from roger ailes’ breasts.
I cannot stress this enough : commercial broadcast ‘news’ and ‘reportage’ is not news or reportage. It is only the tickle that brings the suckers inside to see the ads.
Jesse Ventura….he is my hero…hahahaha are you in trouble now……by the time i count to ……1,2,3,3/2 hereeees Johny (x that is)….
Just had a call from Public Policy Polling conducting a computer generated poll.
1: Does anyone know anything about this organization?
2: Are they legitimate?
3: And if so who do they represent?
Thanks and have a great evening.
The media also likes to draw intelligent people to ads. Craig is in demand on commercial ‘news’ shows because not everyone who tunes in to the media is an idiot. However, look at how quickly the ‘news’ guys get Craig’s capsule insight and then switch to selling crap. Craig is lucky to be able to get 2 minutes to relay the distillation of his thoughts.
The media is in tough shape when a guy like Craig only gets 2 minutes and a frantic blithering idiot like matthews can spew shit for an hour daily. Well, 10 minutes when cut out the ads, hot air and dysinformation his guest spout.
PPP is a Dem polling org.
Out of sight, out of mind. Your enemy is the most dangerous when you think they have given up.

Of course, people can pretend to be PPP.
I’m with y’all on Tweety being a kookoo bird. I try to write it off as maybe he’s in insulin shock but I don’t think that’s it.
Solar..don’t tell anyone but I enjoyed Jesse Ventura’s conspiracy theories. Well..maybe not enjoyed. What he revealed scared the hell out of me and I do think there was truth in much of what he said. I think he was onto what XR’s link revealed. The 1% can’t continue to control everything unless they stack the deck.
Flatus,
Re: your 12:34 PM. there may be no shared genes, but there are defiantly some shared values.Your grandson must have had some very fine role models.
That is all too rare. Good on you all.
jace
Carol, I think that Ventura is the real political entertainer…..why get it from Leno, or the other late night clowns when you can get it from the Body himself……besides…he is one of the best things that come from MN…..
I think that Gordo was Jesse V……..or his brother.
You could do the same thing with about $150.00 worth of equipment that can be purchased at your favorite computer store, and a laptop computer. It used to be called Warz Driving. So if I could do it, why is the NYT surprised when Google with all its super technology resources can do it?

Jas,
I taped and watched Bill Maher….and also like it when he yelled out bullshit when he heard it….that and comparing Boner to the copper penny…..I don’t watch any new programs b/c they don’t call bs when they hear it…they don’t have to say the words bs…but they should ask people to prove what they are saying…..and if they are invited back, they will know what to expect.!!
I really do love Chris Hayes despite the fact that there he seems to feel the necessity for at least one Conservative on the panel each weekend. For the most part it is very substantive discussions with actual back up facts for the opinions expressed.

Jamie…
I did not comment on this because I wanted to see what would be said about Ryan and other members of the Republican Party,House and Senate who participated in this meeting where they actively conspired to undermine the President, Office of the President and the American Economy during a time of War.
jaslf said it best.
http://craigcrawford.com/2012/04/28/open-thread-5/#comment-288043
The article at the Daily Kos was accurate and these Republicans committed an Act Of Treason by conspiring to destroy the American Economy by preventing the President from enacting his policies to keep our Economic and Financial System from falling off the cliff.
They Aided and Abetted our enemies with Material Support by placing their Party before our Constitution and Country during a time of War. This is clearly an Act Of Treason and there is no way Issa should even be involved in any investigation about this matter.
This is a matter for the DOJ and everyone should be calling them to ask why they are not investigating and prosecuting these Traitors for Treason.
What surprised me more was the fact that very little (actually none)discussion by anyone here about this.
No wonder our Country is collapsing when no one voices their outrage over what the Republicans have done to America.
And yes I’m sure that even some Democrats are probably as guilty as these Republican Fascist Nazi’s and their Party.
Have a good evening.
“In what Occupy organizers are calling “a day without the 99%,” protesters are planning to participate in a “general strike” on Tuesday: no work, no shopping, no banking.”

Matters of the brain: Why men and women are so different.
AP,
You can’t swear an oath to to the office you hold, and then swear an oath to Grover Norquist.
The no tax pledge constitutes congressional dereliction of duty, and a failure to live up to the oath of office.
It may not be treason but it comes damn close.
These clowns can work for Norquist, or they can work for us. If they choose Norquist he needs to start paying their salary.
What a beautiful ceremony we had on Gloucester Bay. The maudlin part was very brief. Sean not only ordered the sunshine… he made the winds shift to come out of the northwest… it was a land breeze… no Big Lebowski moment. Sean wanted to go to sea, and out to sea he went. The bagpiper was wonderful.
We had a great time back at Dale’s house afterwards. What a beautiful house! It sits high on a hill with a commanding view of Gloucester and the bay.
Craig is just a regular guy and so easy to talk to. And David is a sweetie…. his sister Dale a very gracious hostess. Getting to meet EdVB and seeing OldSeaHag again was special. Getting to meet Sean’s brother, Brian, was a real special treat. Craig told us that to meet Brian was as close to getting to meet Sean as was possible. He was funny like Sean and told wonderful stories about Kaley and Chopper… as he’s now the proud owner of Sean’s Jack Russell terriers.
Rick and I feel blessed to have been part of such a special gathering. Thanks so much to all who were there.
The purpose of spectacular wealth by Romney’s partner in crime.

jace…
I’m not talking about Grover though your right about placing Grover’s oath to not ever raise taxes. Do not remember what verse of chapter but Jesus told about serving two masters and the consequences of it.
They actively vowed to undermine any and all policies that the President would put forth to keep America from falling over the Financial Cliff.
This was and is still during a Time Of War and it undermines our Countries Security.
IT IS TREASON!!!!
Plain and simply put they are TRAITORS and should be treated as such.
And as far as I’m concerned may the backs of their necks feel the sweet kiss of Madame Guillotine as she cleaves their heads from their shoulders.
Where is the DOJ on this? Or are they still the Department of No Justice?
Have a great day.
Thanks to Dale for the photo. Quite a rocky beach there.
Google needs a reprimand. All over the world it’s May Day, and Google has a wonderful Google Doodle, but it is censored out in the USA.

Arianna Huffington Defends Mitt Romney On Bin Laden, Calls Obama Ad ‘Despicable’
By Judd Legum and Ben Armbruster
I like Mr. Paranoid’s accusation of treason. However, the US has not been at war officially since WWII, and it is not readily apparent that the rip up licans attempted to aid an enemy.
Still, the concept of charging boehner et alia as criminal conspirators smells interesting, and possibly lucrative. I wonder if the US still has a law against sabotage, and whether the intentional wrecking of the US economy would fit under that rubric.
Speaking of criminal conspiracies, the Loyal Opposition got it wrong when it said rupert murdoch is unfit to run newsCrap. Saying that it all happened because of murdoch’s character ignores the fact that newsCrap is designed to be a criminal conspiracy.
The corporation will not become responsible and benign by removing the murdochs. The saudis shall merely find other vermin to take the fall the next time.
The solution to the problem of newsCrap is to take it away from the present stock holders, while leaving them with the corporate debt. Ownership of the unencumbered corporation should be split among the victims.
KGC -- I am sorry if I again was ineloquent in what I said. What I meant to say was that I am ineloquent in most things that I say. I fault myself for that. I used to enjoy “The Chris Matthews Show” because of the segment what’s in the notebook of these top reporters. But it has just turned to garbage now. What is in the notebook of the reporters now is just sycophantic ass kissing of Matthews and JFK without facts. Good Lord it drives me crazy to no end. To make matters worse, Kathleen Parker is on the show nearly every day. That “journalist” does nothing but push whatever the daily Republican agenda is. I feel ashamed that I read the Washington Post because she is a columnist for it. I still look back at when Tucker Carlson was on MSNBC as found memories. I don’t have to agree with him but I know that he would attack both sides just as I feel all journalists should.
At least tucker carlson admts to being a rip up lican; matthews hasn’t the decency to confess to it.
US law should return to forbidding ownership of tv stations and networks by foreigners. Skroo the saudis.

warning
adult humor for Democrats who appreciate the occasional mean-spirited remark as long as it’s really funny.
Coming from the guy who called the Biden nomination 4 years ago (among many, many other things, to the extent that he is like an oracle or something):
The GOP VP candidate will be a Latino male, not a woman, because conservative women will vote for whomever they are told to. Sorry to tell it like it is.
I think the vp should go Lindsay Graham or Meg Whitman
KGC…
Lindsey Graham is not fit to be VP. He’s not fit to hold the office he does, nor the uniform he still wears.
He is a disgrace to the JAG Corp and the US Senate.
Have a great evening.
A Romney/Graham ticket would be so white, one would need sunglasses to watch the debates, not to mention the liability of having an overly-coifed ticket.
Meg Whitman just doesn’t have the pizzazz needed in a national political candidate these days. Plus, she may be too accomplished for the GOP. The GOP likes their women Godly and stupid.
Mittens said it has to be someone who is ready to be president — that would NOT be Marco Rubio — what Latin males are there who are ready --
Apparently Gov Christie has wedged himself back in the vp picture
That must be one hell of a wedge.
A-ha ha. In all seriousness, Christie sticks his foot in his mouth too much. Oh, and just because Romney says something, doesn’t necessarily mean he believes it, or will adhere to it in a week from its utterance.
How about Christie Todd Whitman?
I’m 100% sure Mitten’s already sorry he said it.
Every vp candidate will be measured against those words --
How about Fred Thompson or Tom Tancredo…or Rudy
In terms of hispanic males — George P isn’t old enough yet.
I keep hearing about Rubio but I don’t know. After all most of mitts base can’t tell a Cuban from a Mexican and they have very little use for either.
I look for him to pick someone like poppy Bush did. White midwest with strong ties to the religious right.
Maybe if Rubio could lose the Miami Cuban accent and pick up a Texan one……….
Jack
Rubio has never held a real job
he’s been a rightwing pol as a career
His ethnicity is all he brings to the table and I do not think a person of Cuban heritage is going to do anything to turn around the deficit Mittens has with the spanish speaking population — that he thinks any spanish speaker would do is indicative of why he is doing so poorly in that community.
I don’t think he would carry Florida either…
Ya know if Obama was to replace Biden with Whitman, he would take most of the non crazy Republican votes and could do what he really wants, dump the liberal democrats.
Jack
pretty funny
KGC
I’m not for sure that Romney believes that but the talking heads sure seem to. They can’t seem to separate out the different groups.
I don’t know about this Rubio character: he seems like the perfect VP candidate, until one gets to the part about him being a Catholic ex-Mormon. Christian radio across hill and dale would go ape-sh_t about that, yelling about 9-headed beasts, devil-tattoos, and such.
Maybe if he talks about how much of a threat gays are to society loudly and often enough, the GOP rank-and-file will warm up to him. That usually works.
^Listens to Christian radio. It’s actually pretty entertaining, until they start to play music.
Enough truth-dropping from me for awhile. Maybe I’ll stop by to say “I told you so” after “Romney” picks his VP (as if he has anything to do with it, tee hee hee).
This is the face I will be making upon my possible return- :^P
(I’ll probably be making that face regardless, to be completely forthcoming)
Goodness, I almost missed this update on Osama and Pakistan:
TinyURL.com/bqk3oa8
I predict if Mittens picks Rubio he will be sorry.
Rubio is better spoken than X-1/2 gov palin but doesn’t have any more experience and NO management experience at all
You’re too hung up on a candidate being qualified, KGC. It’s 2012: it’s all about pizzazz!
(Not the gay kind of pizzazz, God forbid. We don’t want any earthquakes or hurricanes.)
How about Alberto Gonzales or Mel Martinez
It’s all about pizza you say
I thought we decided the pizza pimp was not a good idea
Cain has swagger, not pizzazz. Sheesh.
Yeah, I’d put Gonzoles in as a dark-horse. I don’t know from no “Mel Martinez”, but that “ez” at the end of his name = votes.
…and despite everything I’ve said here tonight, Santorum could have been the pick (God forbid, in earnest this time) if he didn’t get all uppity about what his “demands” were, and the “assurances” he needed. It’s the GOP, Ricky-boy: fall in line of STFU.
Phew, I’ve dropped so much truth up in hyah, my truth-dropping muscles have lactic acid build-up. A pleasant evening, and an entertaining quadrannual culture war to you all. : )
Oh, also, KGC, I would interpret Romney’s statement regarding a candidate who would be ready from day-one (or whatever he said) to mean that “he” won’t make a Palin-level mistake. Along those same lines, the GOP didn’t lose the last election because of Palin, the reason they lost is because McCain didn’t have… say it with me…
Ok, never again will I post here. Oh, wait, one more thing…
Obviously Mr. exChamp has gained much wisdom during his travels in the wilderness.
How about Sheriff arpaio ? He sounds kinda latinish. (:>D)<
Commisar arpaio has executive experience. He runs a death camp in the AZ desert and operates a slave labor farm, a slave labor bakery, and other lucrative slave labor operations. bain investments and bain’s former fuehrer ought to consider arpaio for either VP or an investment opportunity. Think how much General Motors could make for willard romney if the cars were made by arpaio’s slaves !
arpaio is an up & comer for the rip up lican Party. Invest in him today.
Also, Sheriff arpaio always carries his sidearm. Whether in church, in bed, or in his candlelit pink bubble bath, Sheriff arpaio is always ready for an NRA ad.
Like john muckain, willard will only be able to find someone who is desperate for recognition. I can think of only four bounders who are so desperate that they would enjoy being the greasy underside of the failing willard machine :
1. the nude grinch
2. dumbold trompe
3. The Mark of Cain 999
4. joe the wannabe plumber
I would have added glum beck, but as there is already one dishonest Mormon on the ticket, it would be gilding the lily to add the weeper.

I don’t care who is Romney’s vp….im already telling any senior adult that i see, that Obama is going to let the banks charge a service fee for direct deposit on all SS money….
X,
I don’t give a rats dna about Fienstien dissing water boarding….but i do care about all those people that are losing their lives while she and her husband make a lot of money out of these wars…..she is on the committee that she chairs…and her husband is a defense contractor…they make a lot of money to start, keep wars going all the time….that would make her the PIMP, and her husband the WHORE…and we are the JOHNS…..no?
Wonder how much of an investment she has in blk water?
The campaign is already moulting, as employees drop away.
I have almost given up on posting any information about the wars like I used to….but maybe start again b/c it seems that the only time that the dems are against wars, are when the r;s start them…but its ok when obama keeps them going, and starts his own just to keep his defense pals in the cash…..
Dry up all of the money that doesn’t go to aid humans from another country….stop giving Isreal our much needed money here in the states, and stop wasting it on other countries for thier own greed ….KARZI…and bring the troops home……there is only one percent of us citizens serving in the armed forces any way….the rest are paid for hire killers…that take their marching order from people like Diane Feinstiens defense contracting shit of a husband……..later
“….but i do care about all those people that are losing their lives while she and her husband make a lot of money out of these wars…..”
And just how much money is that ?
“….the rest are paid for hire killers…that take their marching order from people like Diane Feinstiens defense contracting shit of a husband…”
What does this defense contractor contract to do ?
XR,……more than i can count…but i did post contracts that were awarded to them in the past…..you know for fuken sure that they are making a killlllling…..with every bullet….but they do hire many, many union contractors, electricians, carpentors, etc, etc……but in the Pak area and other places building their new forts……
Does she, or doesn’t she have a husband that ownes a military defense corp…..the D;s equivelint to Haliburton…..thats all any one needs to know…..the dollar amount should be a little more than 12 zeros……
In the dying years of the Viet Nam War, I worked briefly for a company that paid me to travel to base exchanges and make sure there was food on the shelves for Army & AF families to buy. That made me a defense contractor.
I made BAZ!LL!ONS of $$$. Merchant of Death. HAHAHA
I guess you don’t have the answer to my Qs yet. When will you provide those answers ?
“..you know for fuken sure that they are making a killlllling…”
No, I don’t know for sure. So, I ask you.
If Feinstein’s contracts were worth TR!LL!ONs as you say, then he must be richer than Slim and Gates put together, yes ?

Obama in Afghanistan to Sign Deal to Continue War Through 2024
President Sneaks Into Country to Sign Document, Bypasses Congress
Months of “not quite public” Obama Administration efforts to negotiate a still-secret pact to ensure that US troops will continue to occupy Afghanistan through at least 2024 came to an end today, with a “not quite public” visit to Afghanistan by President Obama to sign the pact.
The first reports that President Obama had landed in Afghanistan for this A totally unannounced visit were quickly followed by denials from both the White House and the US Embassy in Afghanistan, which condemned the reports as untrue. Later they conceded they were true, and made no attempt to explain why they lied in the first place.
The terms of the deal, which will govern US military operations in the country from the start of 2015 through the end of 2024, have not been made public, and as with President Bush and the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) in Iraq, there was no effort to consult on the long-term pact with Congress.
Interestingly, with the ink now drying on the document and the US officially committed to the occupation of Afghanistan for another decade, officials are continuing to tout 2014 as the “end” of the war. This speaks to how the 2024 date, though openly discussed by the Karzai government in Afghanistan and privately acknowledged as part of the secret pact, has not been publicly presented to the American public. When they will officially spring it on us remains unclear.
The signature comes as the war continues to worsen, and with the release of a new report from the Pentagon which insists that the “strategy is sound” for the conflict. Despite the length of the report, there was little indication of what the strategy is, beyond “stay the course,” and what the goal toward which the strategy is aiming, beyond “staying through 2024.”
Damn fine rocks. Us “flatlanders” love big smooth rocks.
You only get ” big smooth rocks ‘ when they roll down hill.
I grew-up in a world where every rock was square, and sharp.

Speaking of bullshit, Solar, you seem to be a major source. Paranoia has taken you over the edge. If you think you can read my mind, you need treatment for your own.
By the way, do you have any answers yet, or are you standing pat with unsubstantiated accusations ?

More, might makes it right, and tons more cash out the window……….and the last paragraph pisses me off even more then a was before…….
Pentagon: Tons of Weapons Stuck in Pakistan
Report Terms Border Closure a ‘Strategic Concern’
Previous attempts to shrug off the closure of the Pakistani border to war materiel seem to be crumbling, as a new Pentagon report warns that Pakistan’s refusal to let NATO use it for supplying its occupation is a “strategic concern.”
The report goes on to say that “thousands of tons” of military equipment, including weapons and vehicles, are “stranded” on the Pakistani side of the border, and that the Afghan military is facing “increasing shortages” because of this.
Pakistan closed the border on November 26, when US warplanes attacked a pair of Pakistani military bases. The border remains closed, and Pakistan’s parliament has conditioned its opening on a pledge from the US to stop attacking targets inside Pakistan, including ending its drone strikes.
The White House has ruled out ending the drone strikes, insisting they will continue no matter what, but did say that it is “considering” an apology for killing 24 Pakistani soldiers in the November attack.

Cheap Amazon Chinese bike parts
Junk Razor scooters
New aluminum tubing.
Scrap aluminum from the junk yard.
I got her rolling today. You can push it with one finger.
This is called “Rolling Resistance”.

The test bed I’m making has to roll over one mile, at less than 1% grade. You just push it, and it’ll carry your whole fishing camp down river.
There’s 100 miles down through central Colorado where this will work, right here right now. The last train, ran 9 years ago. It’s monster. A new sport.
More than 4 new sports.
If the wind is right, you could wind surf up hill to Tenn. Pass. 10,424 ft. (3177 m).
Otherwise, it’s still a 4,000 foot drop over 100 miles, with the Arkansas River.
What I’m working on could be the single richest new find in Colorado, since the invention of the chair lift.
