I guess even the Saudis know

Idols of Unimportance

How many people measure their
self worth by how well their
favorite sports team does and
how poorly their favorite sports
team's rivals do? I know any
number of people who colour
themselves in the logos of
schools they never attended
and speak of hate for other
teams. Strange value systems.

This schmo went so far as to
poison trees. At a Fla/Ga
game a few years back, a fan
of one team was murdered by
fans of another. And Marx
thought religion was the opiate
of the masses.

Domino Theory in Action

The whole Arab Muslim world
seems to be in upheaval. Now,
Gaddafi/Kaddafi/Da Daffy is
threatened. Are they just not
making ironfisted dictators
like they used to or what?

The Right Man for the Job - Yo Time is Up

We've had a hard time getting
the right guy to lead in
Afghanistan. Since last July,
Gen. Petraeus has been running
things and running them quite
well (if all reports are
accurate). Now, less than
a year later, they are going to
pull him off?! That doesn't
seen right or smart. Is he
up for promotion or out to
pasture? Given the wisdom
of the Obama administration
so far, I have fears and doubts.

Just What We Need - More Enemies

The turmoil in the Middle
East (Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen,
and Jordan so far) will
bring about the collapse
of a lot of precariously
placed potentates. The
ones to pick up the pieces
will be the ones who have
some organization to begin
with. In Egypt, that will
be the Muslim Brotherhood.

Nice times we live in.
