What an uninformed comment! Lesson Number One: Amerika is no longer king. #2 Iraq is just a puppet government of GOP patsies, without any bite. If they were THAT good, they could reign in the suicide bombers in the Sunni Triangle. #3 If you think Iran is angering YOU, whoever you may be, can you even imagine how much Amerika is angering the Rest of The World? Especially after Obama's petulant performance in Denmark. Go back to studying that bellybutton of yours, and leave the administration of Iran to the Iranians. Wanna see clenched fist? Go ahead Mr. O., make my day!

I have personally heard Hillary Clinton tell individuals her security detail to "Shut up you, and xxxk you, just do your job!" and dismiss, demean and mistreat them is an inhumane way, time and time again. And all they did was say "Good morning, Ma'am!" I REALLY hope this Bxxxh doesn't get elected. The whole country would be living on Midol! Extra strength!

Bought some today, half price. Missus, (a.k.a. "the chef"), prepared it just perfectly. A wee drop of a very dry Greek wine, and it was just delicious. It wasn't Japanese, so I knew it was safe! Not re-labelled, re-served or M.I.C., you know what I mean! Not endangered either, so who cares!

Japan is THE least security-conscious country I've ever seen. Simple things like: Cancel post/newspaper delivery when you're away. Ask a neighbor to clear out any admail from your box. Lock your door! Put the chain on! Use light timers. Arrange to check in with friends/family on a regular basis, and have a plan if that doesn't happen. Put a 'club' on your steering wheel if you drive. Pre-pay or post-pay your bills online or at the bank. And then, be careful going to and from work/school etc. etc. Common sense, which, regrettably, is not all that common here.

Two pieces http://mparent7777-1.livejournal.com/333629.html which beg the question, of which country are they running to be President? And, it's high time that Hillary come to grips with realpolitik: http://mparent7777-1.livejournal.com/341353.html Even Hillary's campaign co-chair has faced it. Bill Clinton himself announced that this would be his last day on this kind of campaign. Just waiting for the hypercalorie challenged lady to sing!

And, bad as Olmert is, just look at who they're tipping as the successor, http://mparent7777-1.livejournal.com/343271.html The frontrunner to become Israel’s next prime minister, Tzipi Livni, was a Paris agent for Mossad, Israel’s overseas intelligence agency, in the early 1980s when it ran a series of missions to kill Palestinian terrorists in European capitals, according to former colleagues quoted by the Sunday Times.
"They say Livni, now foreign minister, was on active service when Mamoun Meraish, a senior official in the Palestine Liberation Organization, was shot dead by a Mossad hit squad in Athens on August 21, 1983. She was not directly involved in the killing, in which two young men on a motorcycle drew alongside Meraish’s car and opened fire, but her role in Mossad remains secret," Times said. I guess you have to prove yourself with blood to get that job. Other peoples' blood.

If I was the head of a national team, I would block-book some of these hotel rooms for my staff/athletes if they were close to the venue. I saw a piece done by CCTV on the athletes' quarters, and they're kinda spartan. Might be the only creature comforts they get. Especially if they're serious about medals.
