Sorry I don't have much for you tonight. Tomorrow I will turn seventy years old, and my Lady Love and I went out to celebrate at the Golden Corral (my choice) tonight, a day early. Aanyway, I didn't allow enough time to do much on the blog.
Here are a couple highlights from a poll that was just released: 70% had concerns over the government's role in the economy, more that 50% oppose the closing of Guantanamo, and Obama's overall approval rating stands at 56%, down from 61% in April. 'Bout time the folks are catching on!
A big test is currently underway. North Korea has sent out a rusty old cargo ship presumably carrying missiles and/or nuclear bomb items, and is presumably heading to Singapore. We are keeping the ship under close surveillance at the present time. According to a retired military guy on the Fox channel, if our military attempted to board the ship on the high seas, it would be an overt act of war. Accordingly, the situation looks a lot better if we let the ship reach its destination and intervene at that point with the help of the port authority. Supposedly, the best outcome would be if the ship was unable to deliver its cargo, and would have to haul it back to its home port. This would be a terrible humiliation for the little dictator, and he would viciously rattle his sabres (again) in frustration. On the other hand, he is just crazy enough to lob a big bomb or some chemicals into Seoul and kill a couple of million people. We have to follow this like a hawk, and be ready to act.
In other news, the Supreme Leader is scheduled to make a major speech in Tehran tomorrow and try to straighten things out. According to Al Jazeera, there is a power struggle going on over there, and a change of clerics may be in the offing. To quote one of our leaders, "Change is good."
G'night.....
