Priorities my man. Can't spend all day contemplating the vicissitudes, ironies, and injustices of life.

Because when it comes right down to it in this short existence, when you look back on it, what will you remember--fleeting material/professional/personal accomplishments and success or the times you spent with the people whose company you enjoy. Just being you and having fun.

But each to his own brother. I'm not quite so self-important or ambitious as some.

And obviously I don't have some weird thing for Valerie Plame she's just incredibly interesting and beautiful from my perspective which is a long ways away.

Seriously this is a country known for men fixating on bubble headed bimbos and I pick Valerie Plame as somebody who is the whole package and I'm the bad guy? For all I know she's an evil harpy with zero private redeeming qualities. Doesn't change the fact that her public exposures have given rise to the perception that she's smart, talented, interesting, has a compelling story . . .

Whatever.

I don't think the zionists control anything. Big corporations and bankers do. And their motivations have nothing to do with religion or politics--it's about the money.

All the rest of the transparent bullshit aside--religion, and nationalism and all that other crap is for the dupes, the God of the ultra-elites is money/power and no other. They may be devout in once sense or another but when push comes to shove they'll act consistent with their highest principle which is profit maximization.

They don't give a flying fig if it all burns down because the ash and the stink isn't going to land on them. They got theirs already.

@ Pedinska . . . I'm not worthy. You are the alliteration pun master. You're like Yoda.

Hey as a side matter, if it ends up being the Ducks facing the Buckeyes in the Rose Bowl are you and the Mr. going to go? I'd love to buy you both a beer, or soda, or wine or whatever it is Ohioans drink at football games. An opportunity to meet the Master and the Mr. would be too cool.

pompous self-important drooler with no sense of humor . . . you described youself to a T. Thanks but it was unnecessary.

And to know a man, Iranian or otherwise, would be attracted to Ms. Plame isn't a function of racism, it's a function of biology you pinhead.

Leave the attempts at comedy and labeling of bigotry to those who actually know what those words mean and recognize it when they see it.

A King doesn't deal in specifics. He deals in broad divine proclamations as is his right.

Your job, you little impertinent rapscallion, is to bow and grovel before the sublime glory of your Monarch.

Yours is not to question but to do. One more insubordinate outburst, without so much as a "by your leave my liege", and you'll be looking up at your headless torso.

I admit that I got a massive crush on Ms. Plame. Just like Winny does on Glenn.

Difference being I don't stalk Ms. Plame and simply admire and respect her mojo from afar.

the only handle that fits is:

Flogging John Thomas.

Don't even draw a false equivalency between Palin and Plame.

One is a thick legged horse face and one owns horses and has a nice face.

One kills American wolves from helicopters and calls it honorable sporting, the other can repel out of a helicopter and kill wolves in sheeps clothing to honorably protect America.

One is wickedly well informed and the other wickedly misinformed.

One is married to a guy who tells the truth and loves America the other to one who smells like fish and wants to secede from America.

One is actually smart enough to be the POTUS and the other smart enough to be Ms. Potatohead.

One is a total phony in service of her self-interest, the other can be a selfless phony to serve her nation.

Huge differences. Don't go comparing Agent 007 with Caribou Bible Barbie. An inapt comparison by definition.

I say send her back in. That'll really screw with Iranian braintrust. They won't be able to figure out if she's really on the CIA payroll or not.

Ahmadinejad: "Can the Americans really think we're so stupid that we don't know she's a former CIA agent? So wait if they know we know, and we know they know we know, and they expect us to expect that she's still in the know, you know, then how do we really know what she knows or doesn't or who she really knows, or doesn't?

Gosh all I really know is that she's smokin' hot and I don't really care if I know she knows, who she knows or what she knows, because I'd tell her what I know if she'll just come have a lamb kabob and, you know, take a leisurly stroll in the park for coffee afterwards. That's what I know. And I'm sure my little Ahmadinejad is thinking the same thing because if he's one thing it's consistent and on the same page as big Ahmadinejad."

[lovelorn sigh]

"Maybe I could make a special request through the Swiss envoy to have her sent back."
