“Any adventurism in the region will pose irreparable dangers to its stability  and the world and will merely lead to the spread of extremism and terrorism in  the region,” Mr. Rouhani was quoted as  saying Aug. 28.

In other words, Hezbollah and the Iranian Guard are in South America and are more than capable of crossing the border. Fun stuff… a number of our foreign embassies lack the necessary security. Lots of sabre rattling going on.

MO isn’t getting her props for those “North Korean Labor Camp lunches”. Drat those hungry kids!

Mickey Kaus calls Syria the “Mother of all Squirrels”   “You’d almost need a war or something.”
squirrel!
Take a trip through the Red Queen’s garden with MOTUS, or as we know it, down the rabbit hole with BO ‘leading from behind’. The Mad Hatter has some competition.

Chapter VIII, The Queen’s Croquet-Ground, by Lewis Carroll*

A large rose tree stood near the entrance to the garden:the roses growing on it were white, but there were three gardeners at it, busily painting them red.’

Alice thought this a very curious thing, and she went nearer to watch them, and just as she came up to them she heard one of them say, `Look out now, Five! Don’t go splashing paint over me like that!

`I couldn’t help it,’ said Five, in a sulky tone; `Seven jogged my elbow.’

On which Seven looked up and said, `That’s right, Five! Always lay the blame on others!’

Obama faces his harassers, a bit on edge.

9/5/13 Patient still unstable after panic attack on Air Force One.  We landed at St Petersburg this morning and I have been asked to join him and Susan Rice in The Beast which was flown here because Patient did not want to travel in the same Mercedes Benz limos as the other G20 attendees to the conference at the  Constantine Palace.  Patient was still showing signs of Vladiphobia as we began the journey.”I don’t trust that Putin” he said as he peered anxiously out of the window. He spoke to the Secret service driver. “When we get there,  how will we know  it’s the correct destination?”  “Don’t worry Sir,” said the agent “I have driven the route several times to scout for potential security problems.”  Patient took on a panicked appearance. “Security problems? Oh, God… I knew I should never have entered Pootin’s lair.”  Patient assumed a fetal position on the back seat and began sucking his thumb……..

As if anything could be more maudlin, HuffPo is still talking about MO’s bangs!  They want to know if you miss them.
The first lady posted a photo of herself on Instagram that proves that the dramatic hair change earlier this year wasn’t actually so revolutionary after all. Back in the day, she was rocking a blunt bang along with some stylin’ short-sleeve turtlenecks.

    Oh gak…only on my second cup of coffee, and all I hear is Preezy yapping away and complaining that it is horrible that America is the world’s moral compass…he is pissy one minute and arrogant the next. He is so unqualified to talk about how or what normal citizens think. The “uh, umm, ya’ know, uh umm usual hokus pokus?”…really? He is so good at filibustering…just flapping his mouth. Dang, I sure hope NASCAR practice is on soon, or my day is shot to hell.

      I honestly CAN’T listen to his voice anymore- but I have to read his speeches, because he is the president, or at least puts his feet on the president’s desk, and I have to know what the official stance is.
      I don’t know which is worse, the pedantic reading voice, the stutter, or the “fokes” sing song.
      We all have flaws. I speak too fast, so thus, often resort to texts in my communications. It would be great if O did the same, but on his part, that would be simply copying and pasting from the teleprompter, and even then, he would just have a flunky do it.

    the UN has decided to weigh in on the rampant racism in the US…..less than worthless when it comes down to real discrimination and terror….

    [We call upon the US Government to examine its laws that could have discriminatory impact on African Americans, and to ensure that such laws are in full compliance with the country’s international legal obligations and relevant standards,” said human rights expert Verene Shepherd, who currently heads the UN Working Group of Experts of People of African Descent.]

    Samantha Power…..”smart diplomacy” ……as if the beheaders of men, women and children actually care about ‘their people’

    Samantha Power, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, hoped that a team of UN investigators — many of whom, presumably, have a longstanding relationship with Iranian leaders — could write a report that would convince Iran to abandon its ally at the behest of the United States.

    “We worked with the UN to create a group of inspectors and then worked for more than six months to get them access to the country on the logic that perhaps the presence of an investigative team in the country might deter future attacks,” Power said at the Center for American Progress as she made the case for intervening in Syria.

    “Or, if not, at a minimum, we thought perhaps a shared evidentiary base could convince Russia or Iran — itself a victim of Saddam Hussein’s monstrous chemical weapons attacks in 1987-1988 — to cast loose a regime that was gassing it’s people,” she said.

        Permit….we don’t need no stinking permit! I’ve been on the back of a bike, near DC, looked in the rear view mirror, and got shivers seeing all those bikes as far back as I could see. Ride safely, patriots…

          I think it is great that the bikers are saying whatever to the permits and riding anyway. 2 million bikers vs 1 million muslims??? Who do you think will win? That should be a sight to see. Imagine DC with millions of patriotic bikers riding around. Good for them.
