fredxmertzso sayeth the lord (Its Sunday yall)
"Here, take my virgin daughter and this man's concubine. I will bring them out to you, and you can abuse them and do whatever you like. But don't do such a shameful thing to this man." Judges 19:24
No, 'the lord' didn't really say that. But let's just piss off them Christians anyway...
THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS AN IDIOT!
Can I get a Witness to testify? Brother Dynes (dyneslines.blogspot.com from 1/22/09)
"...........Friedman was one of the most active boosters of the Iraq war. He has never admitted his mistake, but only adopted the conventional copout that it was “poorly conducted.” Critics have noted his recurrent assertion that "the next six months" will prove critical in determining the outcome of the conflict. The watchdog organization Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting first pointed out this phenomenon in May 2006, citing 14 examples of Friedman declaring the next "few months" or "six months" as a decisive or critical period, dating from in November 2003, describing it as "a long series of similar do-or-die dates that never seem to get any closer."
In a TV interview aired on June 11, 2007 on CNN, the media critc Howard Kurtz asked Friedman himself about the concept: "Now, I want to understand how a columnist's mind works when you take positions, because you were chided recently for writing several times in different occasions 'the next six months are crucial in Iraq.'" Friedman responded, "The fact is that the outcome there is unclear, and I reflected that in my column. And I will continue to reflect." Not nearly enough, it appears.
Scathingly, the blogger Atrios has coined the term “Friedman Unit,” to refer to this interval in relation to Iraq, noting its use as a supposedly critical window of opportunity. ......."
One third of the way through HOT FLAT & CROWDED why we need a green revollution and how it can renew America. Everything this guy says is preaching to the choir. yes, he has data to back it up, but the name-dropping, 'told-you-so's' and re-stating the obvious its a waste of my time, and makes me think how he is cashing in on this gravy boat train wreck.
the world is not FLAT, we Americans STILL live on Freaking Mount Olympus and suckle the nectar of the gods, treating it just the same as our Big Macs and Bud Light Lime. and yes, India has some call centers, but they are way down in the valley, while much of ASIA is in a deep hole...
well, my puppy has wafted a biscuit, so I think I'll get some fresh air now.
go forth, in peace, to love and serve the lord
THANKS BE TO GOD!
