In his mind <i>Canis Lupis</i> becomes <i>Loup Garou</i>.<br /><br />The gentleman farmer, wolf bane.<br /><br />The gentleman farmer, dumb as a stump.<br /><br />:)<br /><br />.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-61991611184714402382010-11-23T06:11:23.421-05:002010-11-23T06:11:23.421-05:00.

How are these different from the old pat-down procedure? No comment. How are the officers trained to conduct these pat-downs? No comment. <br /><br />The void created by the unanswered questions is filled, then, by libertarian complaints about privacy and “Saturday Night Live” skits that mock front-line transportation security officers for following government orders, while administrators far removed from checkpoints in Baltimore and Seattle, Miami and Green Bay, Wis., struggle to make the right moves in a high-stakes game of Risk. <br /><br />Patrick Smith, who writes the “Ask the Pilot” column for Salon.com, is among many who argue against treating people as potential terrorists — “bullying people,” he says — simply because they want to fly. He said the T.S.A. should streamline its checkpoint operations and reallocate officers to conduct more thorough scanning of luggage for bombs and explosives. <br /><br />“We can’t protect ourselves from every conceivable threat, and we need to acknowledge that,” Mr. Smith said. “There’s always going to be a way for a resourceful enough perpetrator to skirt whatever measures we put in place.” <br /><br />But Mr. Burdette said this type of thinking reflected post-Sept. 11 amnesia. He said each security measure, from the new pat-down procedures to the increased use of body scanners, was driven by intelligence, not by a desire to create busywork...</i><br /><br /><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/23/us/23land.html?pagewanted=1&hp" rel="nofollow">Frontline on Security</a><br /><br />.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-65346572787114271982010-11-23T05:16:00.207-05:002010-11-23T05:16:00.207-05:00.

....<br /><b>Taliban Leader in Secret Talks Was an Impostor</b><br /><br /> <br /><i>KABUL, Afghanistan — For months, the secret talks unfolding between Taliban and Afghan leaders to end the war appeared to be showing promise, if only because of the appearance of a certain insurgent leader at one end of the table: Mullah Akhtar Muhammad Mansour, one of the most senior commanders in the Taliban movement. <br /><br />But now, it turns out, Mr. Mansour was apparently not Mr. Mansour at all. In an episode that could have been lifted from a spy novel, United States and Afghan officials now say the Afghan man was an impostor, and high-level discussions conducted with the assistance of NATO appear to have achieved little. <br /><br />“It’s not him,” said a Western diplomat in Kabul intimately involved in the discussions. “And we gave him a lot of money.”</i> <br /><br /><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/23/world/asia/23kabul.html?_r=1&hp" rel="nofollow">Downright Embarrassing</a><br /><br />.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-9837483157071687142010-11-23T05:09:23.684-05:002010-11-23T05:09:23.684-05:00.

Only if the “average” American family hits the road in a custom-built bus like they’re Dolly Parton...<br /><br />This included hauling the flopping fish out of the sea and then having Sarah and Bristol take turns “neutralizing” them with a knock on the noggin with a black billyclub about a foot or so long that looked like police riot gear. Gung-ho Sarah explained it was “the most humane way to harvest these massive fish.” The scene was preceded by a viewer warning.</i><br /><br /><a href="http://www.fancast.com/blogs/2010/tv-news/alaska-week-2-bristol-palin-joins-mama-sarah-on-a-homer-odyssey/?cmpid=FCST_tvnews" rel="nofollow">Sarah Hammers Halibut</a><br /><br />.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-56706657889335245672010-11-23T02:20:55.199-05:002010-11-23T02:20:55.199-05:00One minor quibble with a wonderful presentation - ...One minor quibble with a wonderful presentation - <br /><br /><i> She is apolitical and being a regular at the bar for two years has not said one word on politics.</i><br /><br /> <br />Not so.
