Ah yes, some flotsam and jetsam washed up from the last few days on my browser beach.
And come to think of it, here, in the mid-Southern part, of the Northern part, of North America, it certainly has been beach weather and actually still is today - 30 degrees celsius and friggin humid to boot.
Keep focused!
First a couple of Youtube clips following on the APEC snore fest fiasco meeting in Sydney AU. The Chaser:
Followed by the ABCs (Australian Broadcasting Corporation not the other one) competitors contribution to the Chaser incident, just to round things off, and to ensure the world that aussie-land has its share of humourless a-holes inflected on them like the rest of us, in the free Western other parts of the world.
Now, Mr. Fish on President Mahmud Ahmadinejad visit to the land of "hope and glory" oops that's a small real place called the UK - I'm showing my ancestry and Commonwealth ties - the land of the "free and the brave"[sic, ? could that phrase be right, now?] and the unfortunate reaction of an otherwise quite sensible man Shimon Perez.
The pot calling the kettle a lousy nigger
Best article I've read on the Ahmadinejad speech was by Pepe Escobar via the Asia Times. If, as lots in the US serious part of society know, the war, such a silly term I know, that is going on between the US and others is really a game of propaganda/message/spin then the US puppet-masters must be fit-to-be-tied by Bollinger the boorish baboon from Columbia [not the drug place in South America). What a gift. What a moron, contrary to Steven Clemons giving him an "A".
Now, my useless table, used to orient myself prior to great pronouncements of old and new politicians at the APEC meeting about global-warming.
Me, I like to know sort of when they, the politicians may be dead to kept me focused on their sense of urgency regarding the heating of the planet, do you say!
I labeled my spreadsheet "climate criminals" which could be a term that may become common as we move forward.
All the current "f ers" will be dead or senile or about to have face or ass or tummy lifts or tucks by 2050. Anyone want to trust this crew with your children's lives? Just a question.
Remember it is the end of September here in the bloody North and it feels like summer. The Rice person - Condi - is the pal in the table. She was Georgie Porgy's date after all in Aussie-land.
So as the table, above, indicates by 2050 all, or most of the current leaders [sic] will be, unless there is a stem-cell break-through old "f ing" fools" if they are alive.
Any of you young fools want to leave the lives of your child in their hands? Just a question.
Finally a piece of flotsam that washed up this morning re: the new budget in France via Arthur Goldhamme's French Politics blog just to keep everyone really focused on "real" things, as opposed, of course, to political statements?
So, just some tables from the budget showing cuts in various areas of the French public service. Does it look a bit like "defense" is the second hardest hit?
But, now, how to put this into context with the recent saber rattling?
Let's wait to see!
Look at the chart in the upper right quarter.
"Who wins - Qui y gagne, who loses - qui y perd ?
