Time is short & we must e-mail the head-candler, but in all the fuss about Sen. Clinton & her time in Bosnia, we think the real question that should be asked is: "How the fuck does merely being under fire make any one a foreign policy expert?" Why does Sen. McBush's being shot down & allowing himself to be captured make him a national security expert? Why does the service of either of these two on the Senate Armed Services Committee make them anything more than pork-barrellers (or earmarkers, if you wanna get all 21st century)? By this criteria, anyone who's been shot at on an L. A. freeway should automatically be the next California Highway Patrol Commissioner.Why is our foreign policy continually considered only in terms of bellicosity? Oh, right, highest murder rate of any developed nation, etc. Kill for Peace, or Peace Through Strength, or something.
Hey, a picture! Love the Hammer Films hands, though of course prefer things from Cinecittà.
ReplyDeleteDo we celebrate?
Sophia.

ReplyDeleteYikes! I hadn't noticed before; all four of their paws are rather creepy. Johnnny Boy's seem awfully swollen.
Umm, what would we be celebrating? Go right ahead if you like, though.
Ciao!
