Jessica, sorry..... I had to work this week and I intended to send you an e-mail but one thing came after another. I will set the repair for Saturday morning providing that you will be there and nothing else complicates the timing.
that crispy basement air, how i missed you.

it's been far too long.

the cost involved to house these people is an argument against currency, not an argument against keeping them alive.

i haven't been following this very closely. i don't really care. part of the reason i don't care is that it's been obvious from the start that we're dealing with a show trial.

yes. the government is canada is carrying out show trials against a handful of it's appointed senators.

so, fp thinks they're pouting. seems a little spoiled. not likely.

fp propaganda articles are often best understood by holding them up to the mirror. could the saudis be concerned about being exposed? might they not want their views on so many things so scrutinized? might there have been pressure from other gulf states to not act unilaterally?

this is actually my assessment, not their assessment. there's a rant back in there somewhere about the turks shifting south as a result of being rejected from the eu, and not wanting to join the slavic russian union as just another second class stan.

i think they put some of the recent events together re:egypt fairly well. there's some guesswork. will have to be for now. i don't think obama is serious about iran, i think it's a negotiating tactic. and i don't think american funds have stopped making their way to armed rebels in syria, as they have been for years.

i'd just want to add that the imperial strategy, here, is divide and conquer. if the americans are obstructing, it's precisely because the turks are asserting influence. the mafia principle still holds. turkey might not like what happens. but that might be why they just bought those weapons, hmmm?

again: why isn't it more widely understood that ethnic claims that a god provided a land for them are INSANE?

the first settlers in the area were neanderthals.
