It’s bound to get you some day.
I didn’t predict the weather. But I sure as shit predicted July in Afghanistan. 66 Dead. Hoora! and for every KIA another 10 wounded and another 10 or 20 coming back to the States with incurable PTSD that no valium or Lunesta or even heroin can kill.
Sixty-Six dead. A record. Don’t worry. It’ll calm down come October. Read a little history. You’ll see.
And in July next – we are outta there! (yeah right).
Good Job McChrystal, Holbrooke, Clinton, Obama, and Gates.
I’m sorry, Bunn, Churchill was a fat, drunken, sick warmonger. His biggest moments where he was actually in total control were failures. The US won the war. He failed at Gallipoli and he repeated the failure in Italy. He wrote a lot. He just was never that smart. His escape during the Boer War was largely chance. I give him credit for the initial burst over the wall. But his whole career is based on that move. I take that back. His whole career is based on a history that preceeded that which was largely successful. He rolled the die maybe 6 times and came up a winner all six. Taleb will point out somebody has to do it. That’s why you see winners in the Casino all the time. Somebody has to do it.
It should be noted none of these rolls was a strategically sound decision. The odds were always against him. Having served in the Sudan and the Northwest Frontier don’t con’t. He was simply there.
But the world works now just as it did then and we grant hero status and intelligence to men whose luck simply exceeded their abilities.
Look at Britain now. It is obvious Churchill acheived nothing. Stalin too. It will take longer to see this about Roosevelt and Lincoln.
Churchill was massively depressed, despondent, drunk (though nobody admits it) and basically useless in WWII. His Generals handled affairs.
I know because I’ve read most of the histories. At a certain point I said to myself, enough is enough. This is a scam. This man was done in 1942. Finished. The conference before Anzio at Christmas 1942 and early 1943 show how out of touch he was. We had already won. But he was hesitant about everything. He was broken by fever. I know how it feels. I’ve been broken by fever 3 times in my life. But I was losing all three times when I went in. And came out winning. He went in winning.
Churchill was never the same after Gallipoli. He was fucking batshit nuts. His thing about the Germans was just luck. He could have gone either way. His downfall was that he was honest.
If the Volt Succeeds and/or saves Detroit and/or Hamtracht (or whatever), I will eat my shirt. Literally. Promise. You don’t have to trust me. I have to trust me. I’ll eat it. I’ll take my favorite shirt (Alex Cannon, brown, wide-cross), I will cry, and then I will cut it into little pieces and eat a part every night with my cheeseburger until it is gone. I swear on Jimi Hendrix’s Life. I’ll film it.
But it ain’t gonna succeed. And Detroit should pack up. Just like Obama.
Then it Taketh Away.
It is tough to find a decent brown shirt these days. That one was $125 list. I got it for $40 in the retail meltdown. I searched for it for 6 months. I would have to fall back on an inferior Calvin Klein.
This is one of the best days I’ve had in awhile. I’m in a real good move. Got a lot going through my head. Wondering where to start. Taking notes. Putting off a decision until tomorrow in light of the fact I somehow managed to miss that Hungary started today.
But Micky Maynard gave me everything. Are You Fucking Kidding Me? Haha!
She’s on PBS News Hour talking about Detroit and one of the final questions about the “new” economy is what worries her. She responds it is skilled laborers with no college degree. They will have no future.
You Dumb Cunt! Haha. Caught You. You don’t even have a cunt. You have two mouths and twelve stomachs.
No college degree? Really? Do you think it takes a college degree to carve up a cow?
No college degree? Really? Wasn’t it college degrees who got us into this mess in the first place.
You are so fucking fat, when you where high heels you are drilling for oil (stole that from Rodney Dangerfield).
OMFG! You are the fattest most grotesques human I have ever seen! What is wrong with PBS? You belong in a zoo.
The best part is, those same construction workers you hate so much for calling you an ugly fat bitch in high school – are gonna eat you when the steak runs out. That’s if you don’t die of a heart attack in the next week.
No seriously, you are fucking fat. And when I say fucking fat, I mean fucking fat. Who did you fuck to get that job? Cuz you are stupid and hateful, too. You are a psycho. Who did you fuck at PBS? Who did you fuck at the Times. You are a fat fuck and you are fucking fat.
Hahahhaahaa!
You cannot possibly know what you are talking about. There is no Toyota or Volkswagen that can fit you. I doubt a Yukon has the suspension.
Dodge should make it’s next Ram ad about hauling you on a trailer.
If you buy a Volt the battery will weigh less that the driver.
6-inch timber with 6 feet of earth above. topped with timber. then gravel. more timber. These are the bunkers. Interlocking machine gun fields. These are your fixed positions. Trenches for movement. Communications wire redundant but secondary. Wireless primary. Razor wire and claymores. Clear your fields of fire. Patrol constantly. In between the bunkers, two man machine gun teams every 100 meters. rifle pits every 30 meters. Preregistered arty and mortars on every on every approach. Cooling water stocked in mortar pits.

I thought Pena had a great title in Antiwar today.
“Are we in Afghanistan because we are in Afghanistan?”
Do we want to win?
And Raimondo is right about Wiki and and Bradley Manning.
The fact is that Assange gage the Whiyte House the 90,000 documents three weeks before the 26th for vetting. The White House declined. So any “blood” is on Gates’ an Obama’s hands. Motherfuckers. Obama is just playing a PR game. He is sooo fucked. But this will likely be lost on the Republicans (serial morons).
Okay Katya won’t call me. So Back to the Italian Campaign.
Peace Out
I can take it. I wouldn’t have any choice at this point. I would choose not to. I’d have to take it. Bob Dole took it. The “Taliban” take it in the form of the M-249 every day. Why can’t I?
Fuck You, I’ll go with my Boy, Gunny. Hoora! “Kraut Masterpiece” ? Isn’t that racist, Gunny? Are you mocking me, scumbag ?!

Nobody is aware of the Assange.
The great thing about Hockenheim is that Massa went straight. He jigged very little to the left. Alonso moved on the right and Vettel fell for it. That was teamwork. I saw the entire race and I saw the press conference. I am really happy with these two guys. Massa knew he had to repay that. So he did.
On Lap 21 Massa fought Alonso and beat him. Alonso responded with a radio message saying “This is ridiculous.” That my be true. But Massa fought and held. I said on lap 14 that Massa needed to let him through. And they didn’t even come close to touching. These guys are good. And SpeedChannel really needs to lose Steve Matchett.
This is how bad the commenting and marketing are. On Lap 22. With Ferrari 1-2 The entire SpeedChannel anchor team. Hobbes. Varsha and Matchett are basically calling the race for Red Bull and McClaren when it is blindingly obvious Ferrari is going to win. Are you fucking retarded? Hobbes I’m really disappointed with. You guys don’t know racing. You don’t know tires, gasoline, aerodynamics, engines. You don’t know shit.
Maybe a month ago. Or two. The New Yorker published a very long article on Julian Assange. This is why The New Yorker is so good. I read it twice. I paid very close attention. I threw it away on Friday when I was looking for the article on Bolivian Lithium. Perfect timing as always.
Finally PBS gets it right. Leading with Steve Coll And Phil Smucker. Outstanding, you two.
Assange and Manning get the 155mm award. Cause you definitely don’t wanna be on the receiving end of this. And You Are. Assange is fucking Brilliant and Manning is An American Hero.

I will hate to see it, but I give Assange about a month to live. It will be the KGB or MI-6 that takes him out.
I really like Katie Couric. She’s better than Diane Sawyer. But are you fucking kidding me, CBS? Lara Logan. You are gonna have Lara Logan take lead on this story from fucking Uganda. What the fuck is wrong with you? She actually used the phrase “tactically, operationally and strategically.” This blonde cunt couldn’t tell you what any of those words mean. You should lose your scriptwriter, too. The heat-seeking missile thing is a non-thing. What fucking nonsense. Oh, but let’s play it up with talk of Stingers in the 1980s. Fucking idiots.
Forget the Cambodian Killing Fields. CBS is doing one thing right. Kelly Cobiella reporting from the Gulf Coast. I’d like to pump some mud into the bottom of her well. Yeah, Baby.
Too much for my head. I shouldn’t be doing this. It is only Monday. But I’m gonna watch Hockenheim again. That was one of the best races ever.
I remember you. I will never forget you.
Just think about Adrianna.
And then wreck it.
Afghanistan is the only thing.
Chris. On Saturday Night. You defended the United States to a bunch of Russians. You did well.
The Smiths. How Soon is Now?
