Friday Sore and Groggy

Two days in a row at the pool with the Stroocklettes. That's plenty of exercise. We are sore and tired after yet another rough night. We doze off and have really intense dreams that last forever and awake to see we've been asleep for half an hour. It's almost as if this Kabala stuff doesn't even work.

Chindian update: Yesterday we saw a gaggle of 12 year old Indian-American boys playing cricket. Three more houses* in our immediate vicinity have been sold in the last 10 days. So we'll be seeing more cricket.  

Boy, we really should do World War 1990: Operation Tet next summer, no? The Soviets would be the sympathetic ones. One group holding on at the embassy, another at the airport...Da, da, Comrade. Nightingale Russia would think we're colluding. We'll flesh this out on the Sunday good idea.

This blog remains flabbergasted by Joe's incompetence. No, this blog is in awe. The screw ups are so bad one wonders if they're on purpose. It's the only explanation, no? Nobody is this bad at something. Look, Joe doesn't know what's going on. The administration is run by spinmeisters and flimflam boys. They thought they could talk their way through this as if the Afghan Crisis were just a bad jobs report. 

It isn't. This is a historic humiliation that will end with a hostage crisis and pallets of cash. The long term result will be more terror. Remember, OBL and company thought their victory in Afghanistan led to the downfall of the Soviet Union. They've been emboldened. Exit question: does anybody think the Feds could prevent another 9/11?**

The New York Post tells us about an American trapped in Kabul. Joe's fuck up is the Iranian Hostage Crisis and Hurricane Katrina rolled into one. At this point it's obvious that the marines and paras at the airport have been told not to do anything to antagonize the Taliban. That means Americans have been mistreated and abused within yards of armed US troops who could do nothing about it. In a Westminster country, Joe would have resigned in disgrace. 

Below, your Friday Flag:

Civis Britanicus Sum! An Empire that protected its citizens

*By our count that's seven home sales this year. 

**So it's up to us then. See something, say something. Stop laughing. Are you nuts? The next terror attack will go down because a bystander didn't want to be accused of and sued for racial profiling.
