I am quite the sparkling conversationalist..

Iran. Most of the people now warning stridently about the threat from Iran warned stridently about Iraq ten years ago. That doesn’t prove they are wrong this time too. But it’s a factor to be weighed. Most of the technical warnings we are getting about Iran’s capabilities are like those we got about Saddam’s. That doesn’t prove they are wrong again. But it’s a factor. Purportedly authoritative inside reports, replete with technical details about “yellowcake” or aluminum tubes, had an outsized role in convincing people of the threat from Iraq. We wish now that more people had looked harder at those claims. If you’d like to see someone looking hard at similar technical claims about Iran, please check out the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, where Youssaf Butt argues that the latest warnings mean less than they seem. Also from the Bulletin, a previous debunking, and a proposal for a negotiated endgame with Iran. Again: like most of humanity, I can’t judge these nuclear-technology arguments myself. But the long history of crying-wolf hyped warnings, in some cases by the same people now most alarmist about Iran, puts a major burden of proof on those claiming imminent peril.

  • Whatever the reason, they’re ALL phony wars of imperial aggression. 
  • To that point. If we were allowed to speak of something that exists but doesn’t “really” exist because those facts just won’t do. Israel has nuclear weapons… but the Israeli lobby..shhhhhh. And nextly, something you really can’t say:
  • “Don’t support our willing executioners troops.”

Mitt Romney’s surge in the polls is striking fear into the hearts of Democrats everywhere.

While Gallup’s daily tracking poll has Obama holding on to a 5-point lead, the initial wave of polls has made clear that Romney has just as good a shot to win the presidency as Obama — and that the wind is at the Republican’s back.

“If you expect there to be another correction back toward Obama, which might happen, it hasn’t happened yet — and the jobs report isn’t enough to do it,” said Paul Maslin, a Democratic pollster who has worked at the presidential campaign level.

Here’s a fun comparison between two infamous American Pyshcos: Mitt Romney & Charles Manson.

So secret ballot’ing, I’d vote Manson no doubt. I couldn’t vote for someone like Romney, someone so malignantly destructive, and sleep well at night.

Ambien et al couldn’t cut it; he’s just that evil.l
