For NATO, given the low % of GDP NATO members put into the kitty compared with Uncle Sam, they’re not worth much but it is worth keeping NATO alive and keeping members engaged as much as we can.
When the Islamists start big bang things in Europe or the odd missile from Iran, NATO might come in handy.
And it gives us some scope to support the Balkans, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, and some of the others if they really want to stay out of Russian hands.
If we even nominally support human rights those countries all deserve our support.
There are probably others like Ukraine, Georgia etc.

Things are looking up. Hacker kiddy is being busted big time and not brushed under the rug.

U of Berkeley is fining its tree sitters $10K each for expenses they incurred while demonstrating on school property.

SF woman whose big old dog(s) chewed up and killed little blonde lesbian has been convicted (again) of murder and *will* face significant jail time.

Maybe we’re not the only ones who think these goombah’s need to start facing the music when they break the law. Be interesting to see if anything comes either with the Secret Service and Ms. Tsarina de Insurrection, or with Jawa Report’s expose on Obama hiring a private PR firm to make up lies about Palin and then spread them on the internet. Seems like there should have been some laws broken by that, too.

Now … what’re we gonna do about NATO and the Frogs?

I have reported Larisa Alexandrovna’s article to the Secret Service. Hopefully she and her fellow traitors will soon pay the ultimate price.

So with all this money injections from our central banks and the US Treasury, when do we see inflation?

If they inject just the right amount, then prices should stay level. Too much and inflation hits as the currency/money supply expands beyond real growth and velocity changes.

So the Bad Boys (OPEC and Russia) have had a huge infusion of our capital with the price run ups on oil. Where are the PetroDollars going?

Nah, NahnCee, by Eggplant’s yardstick, I’m just nuts for having all my money in stocks. I bet big and lost.

I took a second look at the tsarina’s article. I saw a cartoon-like caricature, but the meat is a little red alright. As a general rule, I disapprove of all mass movements, where individual choice is subsumed and rational thought becomes subservient to emotional incitement. Mentally I tune it out, but I can see the red flags.

On to another tough week.

@NahnCee I am quite equanimous about the threat of the insurrection in the streets of the United States as long as the 2nd Amendment exists.
The leftist herd mentality does not generally fare well up against armed citizens defending their turf. That might be why they want to disarm Americans.
One friend of mine used to say “There hasn’t been a bad ass since Sam Colt”.
Let them come.
I used to drive Owl (all night)buses in San Francisco and, just out of the army, went armed at work and everywhere else for years. It was very useful to be so equipped on many occasions in my colorful youth.
There is good reason for the 2nd Amendment. Let the Left or the Reconquistadores or Jihadis do what they think they must…
I shall also, when and if the crunch comes.

Obama was the overestimated candidate – McCain was the underestimated candidate.
Obama is not as competent as he appears; McCain is more competent than he appears.
Obama promised compassion but was glib; no one expected compassion from the Republicans
and found it in Mac.
Obama floated like a butterfly; McCain stings like a bee.
Obama talks about empathy; McCain’s eyes well up with tears over a KIA.
Obama imitates Kennedy and sounds like a preacher; McCain is just himself, like Ike was Ike.
If it comes to a fight, Obama looks like he’ll try and talk the guy out of it and he’ll have
already lost. McCain will punch him in the nose and make sure he doesn’t.
Obama is Precious Pup; McCain is Charlie Brown.
Obama is Road Runner; McCain is Wily Coyote.
Obama is Hollywood; McCain is Yankee Stadium.
Obama is chewing gum and joking on the poop deck; McCain is aiming the Cannons at Iwo Jima.
Obama is an easy Lay; McCain is the wife that sticks by you for no good reason.
Obama is Roger Rabbit; McCain is Jackie Gleason.
Obama is going to flatter you; McCain will give you the news.
Obama is like Infatuation; McCain is the one you’ll marry.

Slade and Bob – did you both miss the fairly long and inclusive discussion of progressive law-breaking by the Left above in this thread? Examples were cited of advancing and increasing acts of breaking the law, not to mention Obama’s exhortation to “get in their faces”, yet you find it difficult to believe that Ms. Russian Bimbo is advocating for armed insurrection, and not mere street demonstrations? I apologize if I’m abrupt, but are you sure your advanced experience isn’t morphing into senility and helpless hapless delusions?
