And Fade

John Bolton makes a Good Thing into a Bad Thing

Some people really do live in another universe. Not saying they are wrong, mind you, just saying I don't want to pack up and go live there.

Todays Washington Post has a little piece Clintons Unwise Trip to North Korea by John Bolton

Now, I personally think John Bolton is one of the glibbest people on the planet. I wish I had his talent to express my opinions accurately in words. I also think he is a real horse's ass and disagree with almost everything he says. I don't even list him as one of the people I would like to sit down and have a beer with and that list is legion.

I thought is was a conservative premise that the old ways are always the best ways. That is what the word conservative means, isn't it? Well, one of the oldest, and best grist for movies, American mantras used to be "We will protect Americans from being mishandled anywhere on the planet". Of course this is no longer true, but what in the world is Bolton thinking about? I thought, as much as I usually disagree with him, that he was a man of strong principles. I did not think he would stoop to playground politics, "If the other guy scores , it must be because he broke the rules."

I guess the best answer to this neocons flip flop is, "What would Teddy Roosevelt have done?"

Thank You Somebody! Today I feel good about the world!

This blog is a labor of love. It has to be. I can't even get AdSense to unsort themselves out enough to try for Beer money.

I try to post, at least one comment a day. on what I think about the messy illogical world we all live in. Usually, my thoughts lean toward the critical or pessimistic. The last couple days I have been a bit busy on my real job and haven't devoted as much time as I would like. But, today, I just had to take a couple minutes to write about the release of Laura Ling and Euna Lee.

I am sure as the truth, and the untruths, unfold we will find the release of Laura Ling and Euna Lee from North Korea has layers of intrigue, complexity and ulterior motives by all the players. Articles will be written, reporters will camp, inconveniently on front lawns and political hay will be made by the elected BS farmers in Washington,

But, just for today, let's all relax, bask in the moment and thank whatever stars we follow that somehow, someway and for some reason, a good deed was done by somebody. Two people I don't know and never even heard of before their ordeal are back with their families and loved ones. Today is a good day.

Huffington Post has some really terrifiic pictures of the homecoming here.

Whatever, Whoever and However........Thank you...
