Rustication

A recent boat breakfast. It may look repulsive, but it tasted wonderful: scrambled eggs with pepperoni. One improvises.

So I’m vacationing at the back of beyond, and even Obie’s imminent Syrian war is a mere distant drumbeat. Another imperial folly in the Middle East? The ‘Contain Iran’ strategy clicks into a slightly higher gear, before the machine goes off the rails altogether?

Ho hum. I saw this coming. Of course it won’t work, but a lot of blood will be shed. One is really shockingly hardened. It feels like a dark sitcom that long ago jumped its last shark.

In local news, I have no idea what the problem is with comments on the blog. I’ll try to sort it out.

  3. If Syria has taken delivery of sufficient advanced S-300 surface to air misslle lsystems, U.S. and Israeli air power will be substantially diminished, including
    ‘cruises-types’.

    The breakfast looks good to me — lets hear a bit about the new boat.

  4. M’eh, that doesn’t look so bad. I’ve had nastier-looking dishes that tasted great, usually when I’m in Mexico — like sausage and mushroom omelets with diced jalapeños and those black beans and bad-assed red sauce smeared all over them… not much to look at, but man, is it awesome.

  6. Brits vote no! Betcha didn’t see that coming.

    Does it mean the partys canceled? I dunno, but ill indulge in optimism for about 12 hours.

  7. The reportage on the G20 meeting has been encouraging as the sane segment of the world stood up to the lunatic fringe. My favorite is that douchebag, Cameron tweeting this at 2am after meeting Putin privately:
    “2am meeting with President Putin. A candid conversation on #Syria. I also raised concerns about gay rights.”

    What idiot would say shit like that!

    Another development is Nicholas Kristof of the Zionist Times who has switched his ghost writer to Tom Friedman!
