Twitter This Commentary In The News: Note: Today, Da Buffalo has gone hog wild there are THREE videos below the fold in the 'Notes:'. I've notated them at the appropriate places in this morning's synopsis. There are seven major fires burning in California right now. Two in the Los Angeles area, outside of Auburn near the state capitol Sacramento 30-40 homes burn, one fire is burning in Yosemite, and more. There's a snowball's chance in a forest fire of controlling them all. Details. CalFire/CDF fire info here. In Afghanistan there are now 300 or 301 dead Americans in our war on Afghanistan and the election results are still being counted amidst SEVEN THOUSAND COMPLAINTS, with six or seven hundred complaints of a serious enough nature to affect the outcome of what passes for 'electoral democracy in the country. Two thirds of the people in the country aren't going to 'buy' the results anyway. Also, the Taliban have assassinated the anti-terrorism police commander on his way home from work in the capital Kabul Juan Cole at Informed Comment, bless his neo-liberal heart says we REALLY NEED Russia and Iran's 'help' to continue PERSECUTING our war there and that the Talib may be surrounding/cutting off NATO forces. You MIGHT want to send an Informed Comment of your own (Moderated commenting... be nice). Misery LUVs company, and at least the Russians would have to be fools to get sucked into this quagmire again... But there are other ways to get a piece of the action and they may agree to allow the use of their highways, byways, and airspace for resupplying the New World Crusaders. Some say it's 'already on'. Meanwhile, The U.S. Invades and Occupies Pakistan, and since unemployment in the US is hovering around 11 - 12 percent (of the people WHO ARE eligible for benefits), and not everyone has the physical or mental capability to be a foot Soldier trudging thru the hinterlands of Afghanistan, Waziristan, 'Themistan', to earn a government paycheck (if you stay alive...), it is notable there ARE other jobs available to help with the war effort in Central Asia since the "Rendon Plan" failed due to adverse publicity.

Pentagon Cancels Rendon Group Contract The military newspaper Stars and Stripes is reporting the Pentagon is canceling its contract with the private public relations firm The Rendon Group to produce background profiles of journalists seeking to cover the war. One journalist profiled was Nir Rosen, who got a hold of his profile. The Rendon Group reported to the Pentagon that Rosen’s reporting in Afghanistan was “highly unfavorable to international efforts” and “mainly negative in tone, portraying the situation as hopeless and doomed to failure.” The Rendon Group profile also mentioned Rosen’s appearance on Democracy Now!, when he stated his belief that the war is unwinnable and that the US should withdraw.

Listen Up Folks! The Pentagon has JUST the job for YOU! Apply here, or below the fold in the Notes: Japan has had a 'revolution'. The Liberal Democratic party (In reality, conservatives), in power since 1955, when Japan got it's political system back from the allied powers, has been routed by the opposition, of which many of them were former members of the ruling party. Details. The International Space Station and Space Shuttle Discovery were having docking problems due to a leak in the fine control thrusters (AKA "...fine-control vernier engines...") on the shuttle but they worked it with the main units, and now they have the Stephen Colbert Memorial Treadmill, AND a "Mouse Hotel". So "Whitey's on the Moon"... Check below the fold in the "Notes:" for the situation down here on Earth: The Dalai Lama is on Taiwan for a humanitarian relief mission after a typhoon swamps the country, even as the people of Taiwan, and the Mainland government's thoughts, turn towards Tibetan Liberation. In a final piece of news, of the potentially Nuclear persuasion, the US claims Pakistan modified a US ship-ship missile ("Harpoon") for surface use, and they CAN be atomically armed. Gotta work for peace folks... 'cause peace ain't comin' this way... Brother Gil Scott-Heron, Minister of Information, below the fold, in the Notes: Peace, Out. -30-
