All religions take care to silence or to execute those who question them (and I choose to regard this recurrent tendency as a sign of their weakness rather than their strength).

The only item in Putin's geopolitical agenda is high oil prices. That's how his regime survives in Russia. That's why he is always playing a game of keeping the tension high, especially in the Middle East.

I believe the number of passengers portrayed is about accurate. That must be Bif, wishing he had some company on his long plane ride to Tunisia.
Today I learned of another local supermarket closing in East Oahu, after about 30 odd years of continuous operation. We’ve gone from three down to two and now only one remaining, the mighty Safeway, unless you count Cosco as a food store–okay sorta.

Like that view is going to make me forget the choice between the preemptive radiation therapy and voyeur show or testicle and prostate exam they want to give to see it?
I had a better view from the web seat of unheated KC-135.

Hey Remus, were they still handing out complimentary ear plugs with your box lunch on board that KC-135? Mittens and head socks optional.

Yes or no? Should the US continue to conduct/support military operations against Gaddafi? Presently we are spending $10million/day.

Dr. Doom
“Yes or no? Should the US continue to conduct/support military operations against Gaddafi? Presently we are spending $10million/day.”
Let’s see…that’s (10 x 10^6 $/day ) x 3.65 x 10^2 days = 3.65 x 10^9 dollars/year. What else could we do with that money? Fix bridges, pave roads, dismantle nuke plants, feed the poor. Nooooooo, we need to use that money to insure freedom for the Libyan peoples, hold up our end of the NATO actions, etc.

yeah, we’d just waste that money anyway, building some bridges or feeding poor people, etc. much better to spend that $36.5 billion defending freedoms.

Doomy, I was responding to your list. But hey, let’s get that rumor started! Do you tweet? Is past tense of tweet twat? Or is twat a gaggle of tweets?

Remus, I’m on Facebook and LinkedIn, but I do not tweet, nor have I twatted. Well, that depends on the meaning of “twat”.

no bats. but i haven’t really been looking. the one thing that i’m happy about not seeing, cane borers in my raspberries.
June 19, 2011 at 9:25 am

There have been no bats here in 5 years do to the new subdivisions which also displaced about a hundred or so milking cows. The plan was for 5000 homes they are at about 1000 but they still plowed most of the land. The funny part is the unplowed area last year added some cows back
An even better note is that I did not realize the nuke plant in Nebraska was one of those built by cavemen
http://www.examiner.com/human-rights-in-national/fort-calhoun-nuclear-power-plant-now-an-island-photo
Sure makes me feel as if the experts know what they are doing. Of course some nutter blames Obama. Yeah he built the plant in a factory in Kenya when he was 10!

Slow tsunami on the Missouri. The only difference bewteen a tsunami’s flooding waves and a river flood is the speed. Hopefully, they’ll have adequate time to prepare for any further damage and disruptions. Maenwhile, we get our news of events from there from via Russia and Pakistan. Nothing from MSM. Amazing.
