Some Blogging Without the Flogging

Ok - It has been a few days since I've posted. Been pretty busy and plus all the news is...

Let's just say, "Typical".

Well. I could comment on Hillary, Pelosi and Cindy Sheehan but then I'd be accused of attacking them and of being insecure in my masculinity when confronted by 'strong women'.

Heaven forbid that should happen.

I did hear that the U.N. voted to outlaw war but it didn't work out the way they wanted it to. Half a dozen third world nations have initiated hostilities against one another each seeking the U.N. commission of enforcing the law.

"There will be big bucks involved in this racket." said one un-named but reliable dictator. "Whoever is chosen to lead the U.N. army into places where there is chaos and confusion will get the spoils from sacking, plundering and pillaging. I want that loot!!!".

His sentiments were echoed by the toadies he had surrounding him.

I noticed that recently that my thinking hasn't been as sharp as it was in my younger years so I finally broke down and bought some of those memory pills through a spam email offer. I don't think they work very well though. I keep forgetting to take them.

My boss and his wife said, "Hey! We didn't get ptomaine over the holidays. Let's take a vacation on a cruise ship." - - -

They made it back ok but still I have to wonder why anyone would want to take the chance....

I mean. Stuck out in the ocean and the only doc around is either another passenger that ate the shrimp too or the ship's doctor that lost his license because he was always too drunk to write prescription's legible enough for pharmacists to read...

Me. I'll stick to dry land. Unless I get to fish and those cruise ship decks are too high off the water for that.

UN Sanctions Against Iran

Iranian president Ahmadinejad is not going to have a Merry Christmas.

The U.N. unanimously voted Saturday to impose sanctions on Iran in an effort to get Iran to stop it's program of making nuclear weapons.

Iran's U.N. ambassador, Jawed Zarif said, "It is indisputable that nuclear weapons in the hands of the Israeli regime, with an unparalleled record of noncompliance with Security Council resolutions poses a uniquely grave threat to regional and international peace and security."

Nice try buddy! Point your finger the other direction and distract the attention away from yourself. Oldest trick in the book.

Along with freezing Iranian assets, the latest resolution orders all countries to stop supplying Iran with materials and technology that could contribute to its nuclear and missile programs.

Like that is going to happen. Too much cash is slipping through greasy fingers and the prices will most likely rise with the passage of this resolution.

The resolution emphasized the importance of diplomacy in seeking guarantees "that Iran's nuclear program is exclusively for peaceful purposes."

Diplomacy with a man that wants to destroy his neighbors? Yeah! Right!

prying1 sez:
The only way the Iran problem will be solved is if enough unrest is fomented within the country's population to get them to overthrow Iranian president Ahmadinejad. They will need help in doing so but at this point in time who can they trust to help them?

With the cut and run U.S. Congress about to step in I don't think the people of Iran can trust the U.S. to help.
