You may find tender parts missing in the morning.

This was in the Local Puppy Trainer, but they have gone New York Times with a paywall, so no link.

The local Congresscritter, Jefferson Beauregard Miller, has been besieged with complaints from the retired military community in the area who have figured out that the budget deal just passed in the Republican-controlled House is going to reduce their retirement pay.

These are the same people who donated money and votes in 2008 to make Sarah Palin Vice President, and, unkindest cut of all, in 2012 they supported Ayn Rand Paul Ryan for the job. They actually believed that loyalty like that would protect them from harm.

An old sergeant of mine made the point that ‘Republicans like the toys, it’s the Democrats that support the boys’.

Some people never learn that if you want love and loyalty, get a dog at the shelter, don’t expect it from Republicans.

In more than six decades wandering all over the world the only ‘white people’ I’ve ever seen were traditional Japanese entertainers, mimes, and clowns.

We are all shades of red from palest pink to dark mahogany because blood is red, and it is everywhere, just under the skin. The particular shade of anyone was determined long ago by the latitude their ancestors were at early in the evolutionary span of homo sapiens which determined the amount of sun blocking required for survival. It has no other meaning.

People are talking about a possible offer of amnesty to Edward Snowden.

It is not going to happen because there is no way Snowden would believe it. Who in the US government has the credibility to make the offer and have Snowden accept it as real?

This is no doubt a result of NSA realizing that they have no way of knowing what Snowden has because they had no security on their internal system. Under Alexander the Geek, there was no serious effort at hardening systems to protect them from attack, he was all offense.

By now everyone should realize that when the leaders of the intel community speak they are lying. They lie about important things and trivial things – they just lie.

There is no one that Snowden would trust, so this is going nowhere.

Think about – is there anyone you would trust in the current government?
