Instead of competence, Administration eyes...

[dsummoner]

Is that references to truck whatever? Hmm you seem to know a lot about it for an elitist. Lol

I know a lot about a lot of things... including your '**** yeah! 'merich number one and 'merican jobs and stuffs' monster truck rally approach.

[songfourone]

You do appear to be a bit inflamed. Perhaps it was the excitement of seeing 'Gravedigger' and 'Bigfoot' battle it out?

I did get Moody Blues tickets by default, my brother has a speaking engagement and I got free tickets

Does that count towards your agenda?

[naive]

...eating its own excrement.

Rather than bring new blood into the moribund and rudderless Department of State and the USIC, one gets:

Lurch



Warmonger (the Liar/incompetent is appropriately being bandied about to head State).



And more of the same.



The more things 'change' the more they stay the same. The political paybacks and promulgation of incompetence, with the current Administration, follow a long line of the same.

How about Romney as Secretary of the Treasury?? Would that make you feel better??

Romney? Not a good choice for the position but given the beggar bowl in hand Turbotax Little Timmy G...

The US is cemented to the policy of QE ad infinitum and this policy overrides whomever is heading Treasury.

The US has maintained an aggressive and interventionist foreign policy regardless of the letter by the name of the president. Compare Panetta's 'red line' speech (and Obama's stated position on Iran) to any Neocon and there is no difference. Compare 'democracy spreading' to R2P... no functional difference. The disaster that is and will continue to be the Islamist Spring will unfold in the same way that the disaster that was (in the long term) the US war by proxy in Afghanistan. The facade may change but the underlying paradigm remains the same.

I will be interested to read your paper!

You, personally, no. The positions and arguments that you have tried to posit, however, are easily and readily dismembered.

I will forward the draft copy to you and as always, your always cogent thoughts and comments are very much appreciated.

What about "reaching across the aisle"??

It doesn't matter. QE ad infinitum is the governing paradigm.

[SoSad]

LOL you almost went off topic! But it would be an interesting conversation about who are relying on the government and what is exactly the 'what' they are getting.

Nah, I'm just responding to your post. I couldn't possibly make a mistake could I?

[songfourone]

Nah. Too many errors in your judgements.

Spending time on such frivolity when your (yes your) human pets have 'needs.' Perhaps four or five jobs are in order on your part (instead of retirement and frivolity) at a 100% tax on gross income to actually pay for a part of your spending priorities?

Damn, I forgot the frivolity for today! Could I double up tomorrow?

Some grandma, somewhere, might have to eat Alpo because of it. Some colostomy bag in a New York tenement might go uncleaned because of it. Some large investment bank might only get a $10 billion infusion instead of a $10 billion +$1 infusion because of it. It is well past time for you to generate income for the government... you owe it to government.
