Three Things


Three Things You Didn't Know

The Other Cuban Missile Crisis



Res Ipsa Loquitor

Fearing that Castro's hurt pride and widespread Cuban indignation over the concessions Khrushchev had made to Kennedy, might lead to a breakdown of the agreement between the superpowers, the Soviet leader concocted a plan to give Castro a consolation prize.

The prize was an offer to give Cuba more than 100 tactical nuclear weapons that had been shipped to Cuba along with the long-range missiles, but which crucially had passed completely under the radar of US intelligence.

Khrushchev concluded that because the Americans hadn't listed the missiles on their list of demands, the Soviet Union's interests would be well served by keeping them in Cuba. [Full]


The CMC is really the only perceived Kennedy accomplishment that can, or has been cited.  That he made promises to Khrushchev, which effectively nullified the Monroe Doctrine, and secretly removed defenses based in Europe,  were not even revealed to congress, and certainly not bally-hood by the media once learned of, is another consideration.

In another 50 years we'll know still more about what's been hidden from us by our keepers.  I suspect TWA 800, 9-11,  Oklahoma City bombing, treasonous actions by Clinton with China, and that Obama was in fact an escaped mental patient will titillate historians in another 50 years.  We'll be dead and won't care.

Obama Promises More Green Fraud

President Barack Obama warned his supporters about the threat of global warming and vowed that more money to subsidize green energy firms would prevent it.


This week, the House Energy and Commerce Committee announced it is seeking information from the Department of Energy about a $400 million loan to Abound Solar, which recently filed for bankruptcy. Abound was the fifth stimulus-funded green energy firm and the third to file for bankruptcy after Solyndra and Beacon Power.

“By the way, yes, my plan will reduce the carbon pollution that is eating our planet because climate change is not a hoax,” Obama said at a campaign rally at the Bank United Arena at the University of Miami. “More droughts and hurricanes and wildfires, that’s not a joke. That’s a threat to our children’s future, and we can do something about it.” [full]

Tell me again how smart Obama is. I keep forgetting.

The man is here filling my tank.  Happier posts coming soon.  Sorry.



Wish it were so ...








The problem is kids, and going by the past few elections, as soon as you are able to vote it will be for another Barack Obama.  That's because your little minds have been cookie-cut by the sad-assed liberal twats who teach you how to add, subtract and multiply.  Sadly.

I have from time to time followed the New York Times Electoral Vote Analysis this year.  They began with Obama leading 217-206, and the last I checked (June 1) it remained the same.  On a whim I just checked and,  finally, they have some movement.  Obama is now, according to the New York Times, ahead of Romney 237-291!  Oh my.  Of course the deciding "Tossup States" are not quite so "Toss-up" today; nor is Pennsylvania a sure-thing Obama state. Pass the popcorn.

Biden's White Lying Teeth

This one was hard to watch, and I suspect many fewer people did watch it than watched the first presidential debate. The vice-presidential debate resembled one of those cacophonous political talk shows that call it dialogue when they encourage guests to talk over each other. Biden was the chief, almost the only, offender, but if you had listened over the radio you might have thought he won anyway, so oleaginous and unashamed was he. This was demagogy old-school style, without a trace of irony, betrayed only by the Joker-like smile. Thank goodness for television. Charles R. Kesler

jimgeraghty Clearly, the most unnerving and unstable performance in a presidential debate since David Palmer debated Sen. John Keeler.

charlescwcooke If the AP and CNN polls are accurate—and who knows?—Paul Ryan won the VP debate without being allowed to finish more than a few sentences.

TIME’s Michael Scherer:: “Not sure debate cameras have been light tested for Biden’s teeth. Best to watch with sunglasses.”

Washington Examiner’s Philip Klein: “Biden’s strategy seems to be to laugh at Ryan constantly. Will it work to infantalize Ryan, or backfire like Gore sighing?”

Republican strategist Ron Bonjean: “Biden laughing does not come off with the intended effect. It is actually hurting him. Looks very condescending.”

Movie critic Roger Ebert: “Joe! Stop smiling and laughing!”

Chris Wallace: I've never seen a candidate as disrespectful as Biden...

At the time I thought those "warnings" were calculated to create an atmosphere of  inevitability about the result;  discourage the Republican base.  In retrospect,  I think it was the emergence of the thug mentality that has so manifested itself with this regime.  At any rate, that table has clearly turned.  Guess how the riot thing works today?

That's right.  And it will be spontaneous and brutal.

Greatest Hits

Biden Bear




STFU!



 
The first time I remember running into this guy was one morning at National (now Reagan) Airport, about 30years ago.  Just two of us—  strangers— were seated in the  United boarding area having a smoke, and reading stuff.   He comes in and sits down across from us.  And scowls.  ???  As the minutes ticked by he is fidgeting, and obviously getting agitated.   Because I had just lit up, I figured he was an anti-smoker, and I was right.  He stood up and confronted us.

"I'd appreciate it if you two would put out your cigarettes."
One of us asked "why?"
"Because I am bothered by your smoke."
One of us responded, "so move."
"I am not moving.  It is against the law for you to be smoking here!"
Both of us responded by pointing to the "Smoking Area" sign over his head.

He grabbed his stuff and and took off.
We both responded, as one, with "what an asshole."

This guy has reappeared with more frequency over the years, until now the sumbitch is ubiquitous.  We (I)  call him the annoyed, self-entitled, pasty-faced Liberal asshole.  You've all met him.  He's this guy.
