This an amazing sentence from the Prof.
" "We need backup" is a reminder of the failure of the United States to respond to the request for backup from those under attack in Benghazi. "
A bet: No one in the NYT, NPR, PBS, or MSNBC will come up with it.
YET: I predict:
POTUS HILLARY.
I like the photos that you and Meade share with us. Over time we get a feel for the rhythms of the seasons there in Cheese Curd country. I also express here a preference for the other "author headshots" used recently. Any of the several I saw over the last month or so are better than the old standby used today, Althouse looking off the page to the right.
No dogs today?
For dogs, click on Dogging Meade in the blogroll. There are always new dogs over there, at least 2 posts a day with multiple pics.
"Any of the several I saw over the last month or so are better than the old standby used today, Althouse looking off the page to the right."
Thanks, but they were bothering me and I wanted to go back to the old standby, which feels less in your face.
Been there; done that, on Amazon, for your blog that does…
"INTERESTING NOT BIG".
Thanks, Ann.
I really do appreciate all the work you do to find the interesting.
I promise to Amazon only with you, you Amazon Ann, you!
By the way, beautiful picture.
Thanks, Fandor… for all of that.
Ha ha ha ha!

This year's Star of Bethlehem, which pops up at only one spot on the bike commute, simultaneously with the emergence of poison ivy.
Some of which is visible low near the 4:30 flower.

I bought stuff lately. Can you tell who bought what?
Canterbury tale
Some of England's knights once traveled this road
on their determined way to make a saint
of the staunchest clerk in all the Lord's realms.
A good piece of God's history it ain't,
butchered by them as he was bearing alms,
taking less heed than to step on a toad.
The last rites for Saint Thomas were hurried
as they laid a good man under marble
and contrite king was switched hard as penance.
Having heard well the nightingale's warble,
Henry fell too ill to serve at tennis,
thus robes hid his sores as he was buried.
One man died before and one fell after;
one perished pure, the other of laughter.
Gen. Shinseki going s not so much about Shinseki as about the effect down the ranks.
They see no change at the top and conclude this is just another political squall as so many others they have weathered, so just hunker down and this will shortly pass too.
Beautiful pic - thanks.
The VA was formed in 1930 by Herbert Hoover trying to make veterans' services more efficient by combining several separate agencies, some dating back to the Civil War and earlier.
Complaints about the VA was rife when I was discharged in the mid-50's - more or less the same stories as today - so there is nothing new about this, and Gen. Shinseki did not create the mess. It is older than he is.
I think there is kind of 2 VA's. One is the gee-whiz stuff with the new prosthetic limbs, etc. that has been created in Washington with the return of the veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan, and is getting all the east coast concentrated media attention and hype. And then there is the old VA that just keeps on rolling along around the country.
Or in Washington too. Remember the fuss a couple of years ago when some reporter got into the old building where vet's were kept waiting to get into the new gee-whiz facility?
