Andrews, NC is ending its NY Eve possum drop.  While I understand the humane intention, I've encountered possums in my youth and I know they would gleefully drop YOU in a heartbeat.  And kill your cat.

In Key West, they drop a drag queen named Sushi in a giant red high heeled shoe. I love Key West.

Trump has achieved levels of U.S. strength projection not seen since the days of Jimmy Carter.

It’s one thing to lose a small satalite consulate or mission post. CiC should really keep local militias from storming capital embassies. It puts said CiC and the nation asa whole in a weak and ugly position.

We need to do more to win over the hearts and minds of the people of Iraq, and Afghanistan, and we need to get them occupied in good ways, such as having horse racing in Iraq, and Casinos, and they can grow cotton in Afghanistan, and they can all make stuff from the cotton, they love Egyptian cotton and Afghanistan wants to grow cotton like Egypt.

We can make movies in Turkey for distribution in the Muslim world, including in Iraq and Afghanistan, and we can have radio stations for them, etc, and live rock concerts, etc.

Also, let them smoke pot instead of doing heroin. Pot is a lot safer than heroin. And they can drink wine.

They can also play soccer, and stuff. We need to get them occupied in good ways.

And get all of the kids into school.

And give them all Christian Bibles.

Salute,

Tony V.

Agreed, also read about the enlightenment rather than the Koran. A little more Locke and a lot less Big Mo.

Heck of a job, Jared...

Tony, with that one line, you have underscored the biggest problem the non-white world has with whites and has had for centuries.

How fucking presumptuous of you!

And... speaking as an American, this is also emblematic of the problem non-Christians have with Christianity. (This is not to say that we are fond of those religious individuals from other faiths who've concluded that killing non-believers is appropriate!)

But I do not want my explicitly not Christian nation proselytizing on behalf of a specific religion, not even mine. And I'm more than a bit offended that you do.

[bambu.]

Explicitly non-Christian nation?
Only in theory.

[bambu.]

Fires are worse than ever...more firefighters dead, one 28 yr old kissed his unborn baby before he went out in the fire truck, he perished.
12 ton fire truck flipped over by the wind.
Grown men are crying, including the Fire Commissioner on tv.
Female reporters are crying.
More people dead, many more homes lost, towns destroyed.
"Armageddon".
The nation is in ruins, people trapped in towns, on beaches, no food or water.
Fire, drought, ruination.
Dry thunderstorms everywhere starting fires.
Now Tasmania is ablaze.

The military is being mobilised.
Now, the army is being brought in to make firebreaks.
Now...way too late...years too late.

Apparently the navy has some amphibious ship that can land on the beaches and rescue people.
The politicians are arguing over who should be in charge of the whole thing.

You'd hope from the ashes will rise...better, much much better.

Dave McFarlane broke down in tears as he told of how he lost his Mallacoota holiday home  - a house he had built with his own hands - of over 30 years.
In his arms a wooden pelican statue, gifted to him by his grandson – the only thing he managed to save.

Thousands of people in the coastal Victorian town faced an anxious night as fire surrounded the community on all sides, with many seeking refuge on jetties and beaches.

Pictures of the red hell that descended upon the town have been picked up around the world.

Maybe "around the world" can talk some sense into the politicians.

No, Bambi.

Bound to happen anywhere they give right-wing grifting carbon burn profiteers any credence. A good amount of blame goes to your #1 radio host.

Stay safe, and when it cools down think better.
