Definitely insensitive

“L.A. marked the twentieth anniversary of the murder of O.J. Simpson's wife Nicole today. It was a shock. If someone told you beforehand that an NFL Hall of Fame running back from USC would kill his wife and the jury would let him off, you'd have bet the farm it'd be Frank Gifford.” – Argus Hamilton at www.jewishworldreview.com

How bad are Chicago public schools?

One is really, really, really bad.

More musings from solitaire

Goat failures. (I have no idea what that means.)

10 Years After, Going Home (by Helicopter).

(Alvin Lee got lost. Music theory** says you can depart from a point and go out there and do whatever you want as long as you return to the place you departed. Or, You Can Go Home Again. Lee got lost out there somewhere, but he made it back.)

**Gleaned from listening to however many records, tapes and CDs over the almost last 70 years.

Free falling

Stuff that popped into the head while the body and part of the mind played solitaire and listened to the rain fall:

Pay cash for it.

The Eureka Bowl.

It’s good to see religion has finally taken over.

Montana Jones.

Now it's back to playing more solitaire or maybe writing more of the latest novel-in-progress or maybe formatting the three already finished. Or, finding someone who knows what he's/she's doing and paying him/her to format the things and get them on Kindle. Yeah, that sounds better. If I do the formatting, bet the mortgage formatting will be incomplete.

I did a search on Montana Jones. Turns out there was an anime TV series and a sheep and a blog. Imagine.

Weather forecast

Plans. Cut grass. Rent small tractor with front end loader and move stuff in landscaping projects. Clean ditch of leaves and mud. Change level of another ditch so water actually flows. Pile fallen limbs in one place and rent chipper.

Reality: “I think we should go buy some gopher wood,” my wife said a couple of minutes ago.

Yes, there is rain. And will be for the next three or four days.

The U.S. has no idea of grand strategy

“For decades, policymakers in Washington pursued policies that sought to contain the power and influence of Moscow. Through persistence and strength (including a number of debatable policy choices), we won that struggle despite the fact that no one—and I mean literally no one—saw the defeat of the Soviet Union coming.”

(We had a defined enemy, an opponent political/economic system that defined itself opposed to us and to our political/economic system. Today we do not have an opponent whose overall strengths are equal to ours. President Obama is Hell-bent on making us as less powerful as other economically rich countries, and it is possible that he and the members of the Ruling Class Congress have pushed the United States beyond recovery.)

“In a recent article in the New Yorker, David Remnick quotes President Obama, as saying that the United States does not need a new grand strategy. Remnick writes, ‘Obama told me that what he needs isn’t any new grand strategy—“I don’t really even need George Kennan right now” states Obama “but, rather, the right strategic partners.”’” – Same source.

(The statement “I don’t really even need …” sums up the Obama presidency – the emphasis, the supreme realization, of “I.” He says – The United States dos not need a grand strategy. I need people who agree with me.

(The world is an unfriendly, tumultuous place. It is filled with humans of differing goals, and many of those humans will go to any length to achieve their goals. Announcing cooperation and absence of force does not make the world safe.)
