Events Spinning Out of Control

Is China trying to kill us... First there is contaminated dog and cat food, then baby formula (fortunately none was legally imported to the US) Now the Shrek glasses at McDonald's are contaminated with cadmium in the paint? Seriously. How do they expect us to pay back out debt to them if we are dead? How do we expect them to have any more money to loan us if we cannot trust them to poison their products we buy.

What will happen to the Euro? What will happen to Europe? The British were smart and didn't convert from the Pound to the Euro. But, they are in a similar financial bind to what we are in. Wonder if their debt is to China?

Joran Van der Sloot is off the streets. I wonder how many others there were before Natalie Holloway and between Natalie and his most resent victim, Stephany Flores, in Peru. Stephany was murdered five years to the date of Natalie Holloway's disappearance. Coinkidink? But the story doesn't stop there...how did he get to Peru? He extorted money from Natalie Holloway's mother. The FBI were notified and had they made an arrest in a more timely manner, it is possible his latest victim might have been spared. He must have really done crappy in the poker contest.

The Afghan government wants to "seek peace" with the Taliban. rea hee heally?... I am sure peace can work if the Taliban is back in power. A kinder, gentler Taliban... Do the Afghans really want that?? Maybe the Taliban will stop killing anyone they can and limit their beatings and killings to women. Is every Taliban child conceived by rape?

What was an American doing on the "relief Aid" ship that deliberately tried to run the 4 year blockade to the Gaza Strip. An aid worker, cruising for adventure? Israel only wants to view the contents of the ships for weapons and other contraband. Why didn't the ships just do as Israel asks and allow their ship to be inspected. When the Palestine lays down its arms, there is peace. When the Israel lays down its arms there is no more Israel. Israel is blamed for everything from the Palestinian problems to the break up of Al Gore's marriage.

And now we all know where Al Gore has been hiding out...trying to figure the spin on his separation. Forget Global Warming, he's been negotiating the terms of his separation from Tipper. Sad for them.

Word of the day: lackadaisical

And Boycotting BP gas accomplishes what? Quit pissing and moaning and get out on the beaches and help with the cleanup. In two days from now tomorrow will be yesterday. Let's hope they've stopped the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico and the serious cleanup can begin. Has it occurred to anyone that if this spill had occurred in the Northeast, every military personnel still on American soil would have been deployed to fix it and clean it up. Well we all know this kind of disaster will never happen there...they won't even put in a windmill.
