Sometimes a word or two captures a thing…

From Don Surber: A concept all here can grasp.

From the Associated Press: “President Barack Obama played grand tourist to Rio de Janeiro’s vivid extremes on Sunday, motorcading from brilliant beaches to a notorious slum even as he monitored U.S. military strikes in faraway Libya.” The Navy went to war. (if  we can believe the news reports the easy bits have ended?)

The commander-in-chief went to Rio.

It matters little to the anti-war crowd; their agenda is moot, but it makes ME concerned. We’re invested in a situation of note! A third front? Some allies? Our BLOOD is again on the line!

Let all the pundits and politicians begin carving out their positions (and get the popcorn), but let’s keep that single thing forefront.

What does a president do after committing rough men to violence?

Filling out those brackets was hard work, and obviously he needs a vacation after all that.

Local news last night reported that he was in the 91st percentile of people in his NCAA predictions! Does that make you proud, or what?

Would have been nice to see one of them kids rear back and let a hard kick fly and hit the purple lipped kenyan square in the nose. What a disgusting PoS!!!

The third front scares the shit out of me, Xero. Our men are the best in the world… but do we have to test them? Test their limits?

Once again Europe gets us into something, kinda like Bosnia and Kosovo. I agree, Boo, we are stretched enough already. As usual, we are told Europe is going to take the lead and us the back seat, yet as someone pointed out, we have fired 122 missiles (at approx. $1.5 mil apiece)while Britain fired 3; so who ends up taking point, once again?

I have been an advocate of providing verbal support of this and letting the Europeans slug it out, this time, but that just isn’t gonna happen, unfortunately.

Bobo goes to Rio even after cancelling his big speech, so his trip turns out to be a full vacation, instead of disguised as having an official purpose. I guess he’s just warming up for the next family vacation in Ireland?
