A drone attack in Pakistan this week killed the
(outgoing) number two al-Qaida leader.
Asked for his opinion about the strike, the new number two leader replied, “Oh Shit!”.
In related news, Shakil Afridi, the doctor
who provided intelligence that led to the capture/kill
of Osama Bin Laden, has been sentenced to 33 years in prison. In what can only be described as a weak
gesture, the US has threatened to withhold $1 million dollars (that's out of $1.5 billion) a year in aid to
Pakistan for every year he is imprisoned.
I’m pretty sure that we won’t be
able to count on Pakistani secret informants helping us out the next time we
need to locate and assassinate a terrorist mastermind. #followthrufail

It will be interesting to see how the investigation
of Eric Holder’s level of knowledge with Fast and Furious plays out. It must be difficult for him to choose
between being an incompetent and being a liar.
Fortunately, neither will hurt his future in politics.

nothing, Bill.”

Apparently it took a while for me to hit my
saturation point with this peeve, but now I’m hearing it all the time. What is it with people saying, “So..…..yeah.”
like they’re agreeing with some thought they just had?

I’m not really a fan of P Diddy/Puff Daddy/Sean
Coombs, but I found it interesting to read about a “controversy” with
his son being offered a football scholarship to UCLA. I don’t think that it's being suggested that the
scholarship has been offered improperly or due to favoritism because the kid’s
dad is famous or has influence. The
complaint is that, with all his big money, Puffy ought to foot the bill and
free up scholarship money for someone else’s kid. As far as I’m concerned, if the kid has the
athletic talent and smarts (he has a 3.75 high school GPA), he’s earned the
scholarship regardless of his dad’s wealth.

I’m sure my friends in New Jersey are all kinds
of happy that a new pet seatbelt law will be instituted , ensuring motoring
safety for animals in that state. First
offense failure to adhere to this law will cost the pet owner a fine of up to $1000. The
fine for a human caught not buckling up in New Jersey is $47.
Hey! Thank you for sharing your thoughts about pet seat belt in your area. I am glad to stop by your site and know more about pet seat belt. Keep it up! This is a good read. I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well.
ReplyDeleteCars are not designed for dogs, either for safety or comfort. While it is true that a dog can make himself quite comfortable in a car, he cannot make himself safe. That is your job. More often than not, dogs are considered to be more a part of the family than a pet. Fortunately there are pet travel safety products that can keep your furry friend almost as safe as you (assuming you buckle your seat belt).
