Oh Goody

Obama sees "signs of progress," which might be because Goldman Sachs decided that December doesn't exist, along with the writeoffs they made that month, and Wells Fargo's profit may be voodoo accounting. North Korea has restarted its nuclear program, kicking out inspectors and removing seals from its plutonium reactor. And the Pentagon is talking about a land war in Somalia to solve the pirate problem.

Monday came on Tuesday this week. I'm going back to bed.

    1- "signs of progress" ? where? political deflection, most likely

    2- lol, don't we wish that would actually make things work. Take a page out of Tom Clancy's "Debt of Honor", and hope it will work. Oops, not...

    3- Voodoo accounting? who would have thought that?

    4- North Korea will do what they want, when they want. Sanctions (or bribery( won't do much to that country. I don't know what will, frankly. Maybe voodoo?

    5- A land war in Somalia is (most likely) just a what-if plan. I suspect the Pentagon comes up with a zillion of them for a myriad of contingencies, as most goevernmental agencies and militaries do.

    6- going back to bed is a good idea. Good thing you're retired and can do that.
