Toxic at Best

We're going in to get that guy. The mad dog from North Africa as Ronald Reagan called him. It's a coalition of countries wanting to oust that mother once and for all. The pro-democracy groups in the region have run the towel headed dictators out of Tunisia and Egypt and have set their sights on Khadafi and his clan as the next party to hit the tarmac or worse. It is interesting to see that it is not just the U.S. but France, the Brits, and several other countries who are done tolerating his brand of leadership. They cannot simply stand by and watch as he murders his own people. He should suffer the fate of those dictators before him and be hanged like the dog that he is. If he doesn't have enough sense to leave the country on his own then he deserves whatever fate might befall him. The only question remaining is, is it too little too late? Khadafi has already laid ruin to many of his opponents while the West fiddled while trying to make a decision. And then, there is the question of how to effectively rout that bastard with nothing more than air cover. Where is James Bond when we need him? Tillman would do the job had he not been fragged by his own squad members. And then there is the Terminator. Not sure he's up to the task after failing miserably in his efforts to roll in the democrats in the California legislature. Oh, for Christ sakes. Someone give me a pistol and a map.
Don't get me going on the nightmare in Japan. First it was the 9.0 earthquake and then it was the sunami. And now, its the goddamn uranium. It's showing up in the food supply around the world. First the spinach and then the milk. Is anyone safe anymore? It only took two weeks to get a power supply to the plants to run the generators that cool the reactors. And all the while not anywhere in that country was any leader anywhere willing to take a stand on what was really going on. Apparently, it's just two notches below Chernobyl on the radiation poison continuum. Every nation known to man was evacuating their citizens including the U.S.. But still, no one in the Japanese government is willing to tell the people of Japan or the world what the hell is going on with the reactors and what it means to the people of that island nation. I would personally put the emperor or Japan at the top of my death watch list. If he hasn't considered Hari Kari, then he should. Did I tell you that the radiation sirens were going off on the U.S. aircraft carriers lying 175 miles offshore? Thank god the wind was blowing east and not north towards Tokyo or other land mass in Japan. Who do they think are they kidding.
I like to peel those little puppies and Nancy likes to slice them in quarters before eating them. One thing we agree on is that we just love navel oranges. When they are in season we are there will bells on to buy them. We like them in the 5-lb bags. Maybe it's because there isn't much else in season in the months of February and March. All the better the reason to have them on hand. Did I tell you that I've had 2 bike rides in the past 2 weeks? Yup. It feels good to feel the ocean air on my face and in my lungs again. It doesn't hurt that temperatures are getting above 40 for the first time in several months. Nancy has yet to join me but is very much looking forward to it. Hey! What's going on with Da? That boy needs to find himself a way to get up and about. Someone needs to tell him that the days of lying in bed all day and night are in the rear view mirror. The Mrs needs him. She's doing her best but it's not enough. I think I need to ask my friends to lend him a helping hand. You know, those heavenly angels that I go to from time to time when I can't otherwise summon any earthly answers. This one may be above their pay grade but you don't know until you've asked. And then I am, as usual, faced with the eternal question, at what price do they do my bidding. I'm just not convinced there isn't a karma component to this relationship.
