Bo Wallace described how he felt during Saturday's loss to Missouri in just one word: "Awful."
Ole Miss' (7-4, 3-4 SEC) starting quarterback played through flu-like symptoms, which came on Friday and have now mostly passed. Wallace said his fever broke, and he went through Monday's practice with the team and expressed confidence there would be no lingering symptoms on Thursday (6:30 p.m., ESPN) against Mississippi State (5-6, 2-5).
Running back Jeff Scott did not practice on Monday and is questionable because of the same bone spur injury that caused him to miss several weeks. Scott carried ...

song, it is so easy!
-It is now Thurs. January 13, 2005; 8:09 PM

song, but there may be some alterations in the breaks/solos. the lyrics are below,
"Melinda" LYRICS
When I get 400 dollars, I'm off to see Melinda
When I get 400 dollars, I'm going to see Melinda
And I dont care if you're going with me
Cuz I'm getting up in the morning
And I'm off to see Melinda (i'm off)
I would give the moon and sun
Just to see Melinda
The earth and all the sky
To be there with Melinda
And I just dont care what you've got to say
Cuz I'm getting up in the morning
And I'm goin to see Melinda
Yes I'm through with Clay County, you never did a thing for me
Yah I'm through with Clay County, it never did a thing for me
Yes and one dark night, I'm gonna crawl through the window
Yes I'm getting up this morning
And I'm off to see Melinda (yeah I'm off)
(longer break)
Yah I'm through with Clay County, it never did a thing for me
Yah I'm through with Clay County, you never did a thing for me
And I just dont care what you say
Cuz I'm waking up in the morning
And I'm going to see Melinda (going to see Melinda)
(solo and end)
"its just you and me and the road ahead"
-tom petty
"if you're not part of the future then get out of the way"
-john mellencamp
"i'll tear through this room and rebuild all thats fallen"

Philodendron, an ornamental plant native to tropical America. It is a popular potted plant in the United States. About 200 species, and many hybrid forms, are known. The philodendron has large, fleshy leaves that may be heart-shaped, oval, or oblong with or without lobes. The leaves contain the crystalline toxin calcium oxalate. Young children and pets should be kept away from the plant because eating the leaves causes swelling and blistering in the mouth and throat. The philodendron has a thick, woody stem and tiny, inconspicuous flowers. It has orangish-white berries.
In the wild, the philodendron is a tree-climbing vine. (Its name, from the Greek, means "tree loving.") Cultivated varieties usually are provided with a moss-covered or cloth-wrapped climbing pole. The plant grows rapidly in a damp mixture of loamy earth and peat or fir bark. It may be injured by direct sunlight.
Philodendrons form a genus of the arum family, Araceae. A popular cultivated species of philodendron is Philodendron cordatum, with heart-shaped leaves.

Guild D-40 Richie Havens Signature Model
Musical history was made in the summer of 1969 when a young and spirited folk musician took the stage on the opening day of the Woodstock Music & Arts Festival and mesmerized the audience with his soulful voice and driving, rhythmic guitar style.

Guild is proud to now offer the D-40 in a Richie Havens signature version. This tribute to Havens features a solid Sitka Spruce top, solid Mahogany back & sides, Rosewood fingerboard and bridge, bone nut, saddle, and bridge pins, his favorite double-pickguard setup and his signature on the truss rod cover.

Steelers Lookahead: Previewing Sunday's game vs. Cleveland
Steelers/NFL Videos
If nightlife-loving Instagram fave Johnny Manziel is the new Mr. Brown — and ticket sales reflect that — then Hoyer is Mr. Boring. He is low-key and low-maintenance, the polar opposite of all the electricity and commotion that swirls around Johnny Football.
Hoyer is the Browns' 16th starting quarterback since they passed up Ben Roethlisberger in 2004 to draft tight end Kellen Winslow (the Steelers have had four). The question is whether his shelf life will be much longer than predecessors like Charlie Frye, Jake Delhomme and, yes, Roethlisberger's current backup, Bruce Gradkowski.
Hoyer's every miscue will have win-deprived Browns fans begging for Manziel. And while Hoyer is considered the starter, Kyle Shanahan (Cleveland's 12th offensive coordinator since 1999) apparently plans to use both QBs. With NFL receiving leader Josh Gordon suspended for the season, the Browns arguably have the NFL's worst group of wide receivers, so Shanahan is designing play packages for Manziel to run at various times. His 88 yards rushing (and 7.3 average) on 12 carries were the preseason offensive highlight. Hoyer often traded inefficient drives with Manziel during a rough preseason but did lead an 85-yard touchdown drive Thursday in a 33-13 win over the Bears.
The Steelers, interestingly, helped save Hoyer's NFL career. Out of work for three months after being cut by the Patriots in 2012, Hoyer was picked up by Pittsburgh when Roethlisberger injured a shoulder. He was Charlie Batch's backup in the Steelers' 20-14, eight-turnover loss at Cleveland, only to be cut for a cornerback. The Steelers wanted to bring him back as Roethlisberger's backup — before they signed Gradkowski — but the Cardinals offered him guaranteed money. Arizona released him a few months later. The son of longtime season-ticket holders, Hoyer then hooked on with his hometown Browns and, before being lost with a season-ending knee injury, went 57 of 96 for 615 yards, 5 TDs and 3 INTs. Now, he's hoping to avoid a quick, but perhaps inevitable, hook.
A product of Pennsylvania's Friday night lights, he once coached at North Penn and William Tennent, and father Mike Sr. won four PIAA Class AAAA titles and 326 games at Central Bucks West. The former Bills and Jets defensive coordinator won high marks for his handling of training camp. Now, the Browns' eighth head coach since '99 tries to replace chaos with stability.
Stat: 27 wins by Browns coaches since 2007; Mike Tomlin has 71.
With Gordon suspended, Hawkins (12 catches, 0 TDs with Bengals) and Miles Austin (24 catches, 0 TDs with Cowboys) likely will be the go-to receivers. Hawkins, from Johnstown, caught 51 passes in 2012 and averaged an excellent 10.8 yards after the catch in 2013. But this question-mark Browns offense needs more from him.

Part One - Summer 2002
Chapter One.
Crash! That was the sound of two people falling out of love. Actually, it was a plate hitting the wall, but it's still the same thing. Mom and dad try their best to hide their fights, but you can't fool me. I'm a big girl - I'm ten years old now.
"You don't even care-!" I could hear my mom's voice raising to her dangerous level, the same way she would before she would strike me on the butt when I didn't listen as a child. "You're doped up!"
I couldn't hear my father's reply, if he had even bothered to say one. He never spoke much. He always kept himself hidden away in the basement. I might be ten, but I'm not stupid.
From my room all the way upstairs, I hear a loud yell, a thud, more plates breaking, and then silence. After a minute, the front door slams. Then the unmistakable creek of the basement door.
My parents weren't always like this. Is that believable? Because I should be called a liar. My parents are perfectly not perfect together. I will never understand what force attracted them.
They met as teenagers, and dated off and on for years. That was the first red flag. Never get back together with someone after it's over. I was born when they were twenty-three, and then they married. And here we are, ten years later, as it falls apart.
I've become used to the huffing, scorning one another under their breath, to the full blown fights. Some were worse than others, tonight for example. When one of them hits the other, it's game over. My dad hit my mom this time.
When she leaves, I always wonder if she's going to come back. Or even want to.
This fighting has been going on since I was little. Mainly it was about the small things, like my dad's job. It seemed like he was never home, and my mom thought so too. My dad has had the same job all his life, so it wasn't like it was anything new.
Despite all the fighting, they still stayed together. If they were doing it for their kid, they were foolish. I'd be better off with them apart. Maybe even with some other family.
I rolled over in my bed and grabbed hold to my big stuffed bunny. I allowed myself to think about it a little. What if I didn't have to be here? I could find another family to be a part of. With parents who talk, not yell. Or who show each other that they care. Mom and dad have never so much as given each other a hug in front of me. Was that normal to other kids? I wasn't sure.
I fell asleep to thoughts of being a part of a family that cared.
The next morning, I find a surprise in my book bag. I open one of my folders, and a slip of paper makes its way to my desk.
Shirley, my best friend, looks at it and beams, "You're finally going this year!"
"What?" I say, confused. I look at the paper. It's a sign-up sheet for summer camp.
Last year, Shirley told me and our friends all about Camp Green Tree, where she went every year since she was four. At recess, she would sing camp songs, and tell us stories and I wanted to go so badly. But then my mom told me it was something we didn't have the money for.
Why had she signed me up now? And without telling me?
"And we're going the same weeks!" Shirley says, still looking over the paper.
I begin to feel a little excited. "Do you think we'll get to be in the same cabin?"
"Probably. You should write to be put in my cabin, just to be sure," she says, "I already handed mine in."
I take out my pencil and scribble down to keep us together. You can't break up the dynamic duo.
That's when it hit me.
"Josie?" she says my name, when I realize I haven't spoken.
"I think my parents are breaking up."
"What?" She doesn't believe it. And I kind of don't either. There's still room for doubt.
I shrug it off, "I could be wrong. They were fighting last night. My mom left this time."
Then again, what if they are? They've been fighting for years. Maybe they finally realize it'll never work out.
"Yeah, maybe." She sounds unconvinced. Shirley has been a witness to the fights quite a few times. She never knows what to do, because her parents are still together and they rarely argue.
I give my teacher my sign-up slip. Since it was the last day, we spend a lot of the day cleaning everything. My desk, always an untidy mess, was now totally empty. Our class books were returned. Our mailboxes stripped of our names. Most threw out their name tags from our desks, but I kept mine. I'd tape up my 'Josephine Rivers' name tag in my room.
What if it wasn't going to be my room by the end of the summer?
On a better note, my class also got our yearbooks. Since it was the last day and we have nothing else to do, all fourth grade classes get to go around and get autographs.
Shirley and I of course, take this as a cue to goof off and enjoy our final day of elementary school. Next year, we'd be fifth graders in middle school. We're not nervous, not just yet.
We go downstairs and head to the gym. The gym teacher is there, while a couple of kids are shooting hoops. I ask the teach to sign my book. Perhaps he'll remember me for my stellar kickball skills, or maybe as the kid who got pegged in the face with a dodge ball.
After playing basketball for a little while, Shirley and I decide to head elsewhere. All the other fourth graders are still upstairs.
"You should ask Matt for his autograph," Shirley says.
"You're crazy, he hates me!" I exclaim.
Matt Topper is the boy I crushed on for years. We are going to get married. But he hates me, so it probably won't work out.
Wait, that sounds familiar.
"He's right there," Shirley points down the hall .And there he is, with his group of friends, at a table out in the hall. With his short, wavy brown hair and puppy dog eyes, it's a surprise no one else likes him. Well, maybe someone does, they just aren't vocal about it.
Shirley pushed me in his direction. "Okay, okay! I'll do it!" I say, "But you come with me."
We march right up to puppy eyes, and I tap him on the shoulder.
"Oh. Hi, Josie," Matt says, surprised. I normally don't approach him. I've been 'in love' with him for years, but I've probably only had two conversations with him. This being the second.
"Hey, want to sign my yearbook?" I asked, showing him my book, which pathetically has only a few signatures.
He nods, "Yeah, sure. Sign mine?"
It's a dream come true! I've never signed his book, much less asked him to sign mine.
His book doesn't have many autographs either, so I don't feel as lame. I stare at it for a second and realize I have no idea what to write. Panicking, I look to Shirley, who eyes Matt. He's writing away in my yearbook. Ugh. This will make or break middle school. Maybe he'll fall in love with me next year, but only if I write him the perfect note.
Okay, Josie, I think to myself, tell him how you feel, and then next year will be a breeze. Unless, of course, he hates you.
Awesome. So finally, I write, "Matt, have an awesome summer! I'll see you next year!" signed with a smiley face, Josie Rivers.
Josie Topper will never exist. Good job.
I hand him back his yearbook, and he smiles. Maybe I did have a chance! "Thanks," he says, handing back mine. "I'll see you around."
He and his friends walk down the hall. I go to open my yearbook right away.
Shirley stops me, "Wait. Challenge. You can't read what he wrote 'til we're back from camp."
I bug my eyes out, "What? That's forever!" I shut my yearbook anyways, wondering what he could possibly have written. Maybe he told me to leave him alone. Or maybe after all these years, he decided to like me too!
Dream big.
"It's only a month. Or so," Shirley says, "I'll bet you ten dollars you can't do it."
Bets always talked me into things. Last year she bet me I couldn't jump off the top of the monkey bars for her packed lunch. That was how I almost broke my arm.
Anyways, I take the bet.
The rest of the day, others sign my yearbook, but nobody wrote on Matt's page. The most I saw of it was my name. It looked long. I wanted to read it so bad! Ten dollars isn't even that much. I could probably forget that he signed it.
Finally, it was 2:50. Ten minutes left of fourth grade.
Mrs. Kathy, my teacher, stands in the front of the room. "Class," she begins, "It truly was a pleasure having you all in my class. I hope you all do well in the middle school. And I'm always here, if you want to share your future endevours."
I smile a little. Mrs. Kathy was one of the greatest teachers I've ever had. She really invested in us, and I plan to take her offer to heart. I'll come visit her when my parents split up. I'll tell her about my new life with my mom or my dad.
I don't even know where I'll be going. I've seen kids go through with divorce in school. Most of them live with their moms. I don't know if I want that. She can be too strict, and my dad has no rules. I like no rules better.
The bell rang, and everyone filed out, not looking back. I wasn't ready to go yet.
"Josie, are you coming?" Shirley asks.
"In a minute, I'll meet you on the bus," I answer.
When she leaves, Mrs. Kathy is erasing the chalk board. I don't even know what I should say to her. Could I tell her about my parents?
"How are you, Josie?" my teacher startles me.
I blurt, "My parents won't stop fighting."
She looks surprised. I've never came to her about my home life. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, it got bad. I think they are breaking up." I don't know why I tell her. Especially at the last possible second.
"Oh, Josie," now I know why I shouldn't tell people. They will feel sorry for you. You're not even hurt, but everyone will feel bad. "I'm sorry. I really am. I also don't want you to end up missing your bus though," she looks genuinely concerned, "Will you come back here and talk to me about it?"
I shrug, "Yeah, I can do that."
I don't know if I can. I don't even know if it's really going to happen. It's the last thing I want to think about.
"But, thank you," I say, sincerely.
Mrs. Kathy looks a little confused now, but smiles, "You're welcome, Josephine."
I take my last steps out of my fourth grade class room and don't look back. This is probably my last few days as a child, and it's best to not look back.
"Have you got everything packed?" Shirley asks me on the phone a few weeks later. I'm supposed to stay at her house tonight, and in the morning, we board the bus to camp.
I look around my room. My suitcase has become my new laundry basket.
"Um... yeah," I lie, "When should my mom bring me over?"
"Seven. We're having pizza for dinner."
It was five now. Two hours to pack for the next two weeks. It's possible I could do it.
From downstairs, my mom yells, "Josie! I need the phone, so hurry up!"
"I gotta go. I'll be there at seven," I say.
"Okay, bye."
I run downstairs to give my mom the phone, and then go back to my room to pack.
I empty out the suitcase, and throw pairs of clean clothes in. Mostly tees and shorts. A jacket and pants, just in case.
My big stuffed bunny is too big to bring, so I settle for my smaller teddy bear. Even that doesn't fit in the suitcase, so I guess I'll just carry it.
What else will I need? My toothbrush, I'll carry that since I'll need it at Shirley's, I grab my brush from my dresser. I put that in my former school year book bag. I'll be using it during the day at camp.
After I pack everything I think I'll need, I glance at my Gameboy on my side table. It's a long bus ride, so I figure I'll take it. In the drawer, I grab a few batteries.
In the kitchen, I find a metal water bottle on the table. It's mine, for long trips. I put it in the side pocket of my book bag, and put my things on the table.
I'm done with time to spare, but my mom isn't even home. I have a half hour until Shirley expects me. She lives only a block away, but I sure wasn't planning on walking with all this stuff.
My dad is in the basement, so I open the door. A funky smell hits my nose, but I'm used to it. When my dad isn't down there, the basement is where I like to hang out, watch TV, and play Super Nintendo. But then dad comes down, and I have to leave.
"Dad?" I call, "Where's mom?"
"I don't know. Said she'll be back in an hour," he says shortly.
"When was that?"
"A few minutes ago."
I know my dad won't take me to Shirley's, since it's not that far, so I might as well start walking. "I'm going to Shirley's. And I'll be at camp for two weeks." I pause, and he doesn't answer. "Dad?"
More silence. Then, "What?"
"I'm leaving for two weeks."
"Okay. I'll see you later," he says, letting out a loud cough.
And that was it. I won't see my mom for two weeks either, and she didn't even say goodbye.
I put on my book bag and grab my suitcase. It's pretty heavy, but I think I can manage.
When I go outside, my life changes. There, on the front lawn where I've played all my life with the neighborhood boys, is a for sale sign.
We're moving.
I drop my things, and run back inside, and take my last few looks. The garage, where my kiddie basketball hoop was set up. I used to play with my dad. It led into the kitchen, where we would make breakfast on Saturday's. The living room, and the two bedrooms at the end of the hall. My mom and dad's being the first one on the right. Mom used to read to me in her big bed every night. Usually the same book, but she never complained. Up the stairs, and the hallway leading into my bedroom, where I spent so much of my life. I won't see it again. Despite all the bad that led up to this moment, there were still so many good memories I had. It wasn't fair.
My room is the biggest in the house. It is a painted a light blue, and always has been. My bed, my dresser, and my side table will be gone by the time I come back, if I do.
When I finally do get to Shirley's, I'm mad. My parents couldn't even tell me they were selling the house. I thought that at least one of them would still live there.
I tell Shirley my recent discovery in her room, eating pizza.
"Where are you moving to?" she asks.
"I don't know," I say, taking a bite of pizza, almost choking on the cheese. "I didn't know we were going to move."
"I'm sorry," I know Shirley doesn't know what to say. Her parents have been together her whole life. But I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me. I don't say anything.
She continues onto something else, "I'm wicked excited for camp tomorrow!"
"Me too," I smile.
"When we get there, we have to find out what cabin we're staying in. Then I'll show you around. It's pretty big."
I start to wonder what camp will look like. Where our cabin will be. If I'll even like it. What if I get bored? Or if I want to go home? I know my mom won't pick me up at a time like this. I tell myself I'll enjoy the next two weeks.
Shirley and I play board games in her room, until her mom comes upstairs and tells us it's time for bed. She kisses the tops of our heads, and says goodnight. Her family shows me more affection than my own.
We get into our pajamas, and get into bed. She has a bunk bed, and I always get top bunk when I stay over. We lay for a while, talking, and teaching me camp songs. She and I fall asleep mid-song.
Shirley and I wake up early the next day. The bus will pick us up at 7:30, so we wake up an hour beforehand. She makes sure she's packed everything, while I put on some shorts and a shirt.
I check how I look in the long mirror on Shirley's door. I brush out my shoulder-length brown hair and realize that my bangs have finally grown out. I've spent the past year growing them out. I figure I'm plain looking, even for a ten-year-old; the brown hair and eyes, still too young for makeup, not to mention I still have some baby fat on me.
Before we know it, it's time to go. Shirley's mom helps us load our things in the trunk of her car, and we say goodbye to her dad. Shirley promises to call when she can.
We drive to a shopping plaza a few minutes away, to where they bus would be picking us up.
The bus is already there. I get nervous, thinking it will leave without us. It's only 7:28, so I guess we have two minutes.
Shirley grabs her things and huffs her way to the bus. I put on my book bag and take my suitcase. Our suitcases are supposed to have name tags, and it looks like Shirley's parents put one on mine the night before. The bus driver puts the suitcases in the top compartment over our seats. This was no ordinary school bus, they have cozy seats, cup holders, and there was even a television in the front.
This was going to be a long ride. Shirley had warned me about it last night. I got my Gameboy Color started up and ready to go for this ride.
She was right. I felt like I'd been on the bus for years when we finally stop. I shut my game off, and look out the window. We just pull into camp, and I hear a jumble of songs coming from all the other kids. I feel weird about it, because I don't sing.
The bus stops in front of a huge wooden building. The doors open, and someone steps on. He's older, with light brown hair that looks like it's beginning to gray. He has a clip board and glasses.
"Welcome back, campers!" he says happily, "And if this is your first time here, welcome to Camp Green Tree! I'm Greg, the director. We're not all jumping off the bus yet, just let me explain a few things. When you get off the bus, you need to check in at the main building, where you'll get your assigned cabin. Then, you'll have time to settle in. Meet back at the clearing here at noon, for lunch."
He dismisses us, and all at once everyone gets up. It's a crazy gaggle of people, and Shirley stays put.
"Just wait, there's no getting out of her for a little while."
In less than five minutes, almost everyone has cleared out, and Shirley and I have our book bags and suitcases.
We step off the bus, and I am in awe. I can't help feeling that things will soon be much, much different.

FengShui Services
Selection Services
Feng Shui Services
Together with Qimendunjia and Taiyi, Daliuren is revered
as one of the three consummate Chinese FengShui methods employed
by the emperors which hence top the hierarchical order composed
of hundreds of FengShui methods in ancient China. Among them, Taiyi, focusing on the factor of sky, delineates and predicts the
fortune of the nation, while Qimendunjia, emphasizing the factor
of earth, is the specialist method used for wars. On the other hand,
Daliuren, centring on the human being, oversees the vicissitudes
of all things in human society. Enjoying a high reputation of "the
magical FengShui" and "the know-all", Daliuren sees no rivalry
among the ordinary folk FengShui methods with its incomparable
integrity, complexity and accuracy. It applies to the FengShui
of marriages, careers, diseases, exams, lawsuits, as well as of
business decision making and personnel selecting.
According to the related historical books, Daliuren came into being
no later than the late Spring and Autumn period (770-476 B.C.) of
China, earlier than the other two FengShui methods. Its earliest
record is found in the BOOK OF YUEJUE written in the Spring and
Autumn period. The Book illustrates a story of the period: Shaobo
Fan, a minister of State of Yue, and Zixu Wu, a minister of State
of Wu, were both good at Daliuren. Fan once divined through Daliuren
for King of Yue at his illness and predicted that he would recover
without risk. He had also divined for King of Wu's concubine on
her gestation. All his words came true. Zixu Wu divined through
Daliuren that State of Wu was facing a destiny of decease. It turned
out to be true.
Among the masters of Daliuren, there are not only the famous statesmen
and strategists, but also the well-known scholars and nature scientists.
Some of them even wrote down their research of Daliuren into their
works. For example, Yixing Ceng, an astronomer of reputation in
Tang dynasty(A.D. 618-907), and his two works, Liuren Pithy Adages
and Liuren Classic; Kuo Shen, a scientist of Song Dynasty(A.D.960-1279),
and his Mengxi Anthology; Kentang Wang of Ming Dynasty(A.D.1368-1644)
and his Yugangzhai Anthology; Zhiyi Mao and his Wubei Annals. Moreover,
Daliuren is also mentioned by the poems of Tang Dynasty and unofficial
historical record, and included in many other Chinese ancient works
and classics.
Daliuren focuses on the vicissitudes of all things of the human
society. Therefore, human is the key factor of Daliuren to attain
its magical function of "knowing all". However, few people from
of old can grasp the real essence of Daliuren since its carrier,
the ancient language, too abstruse and recondite to understand.
Some curious people remain clueless to its points even after they
have read many enough ancient works.

A few spring/summer trends are already apparent, some of the following are must have additions to your wardrobe:
Stripes, stripes and more stripes are everywhere. The classic nautical blue and white horizontal stripes are popping up on all of the runways for 2013. A reinvention of the classic stripes is seen in blazers, and all over dresses. Marc Jacobs' collection was covered in stripes all over dresses, jackets and blouses. ...

John Kerry, Clueless Buffoon
In a candid moment, the US Secretary of State reveals the secret of American foreign policy
Oh, the burden of empire! It weighs so heavily on John Kerry's shoulders:
"Secretary of State John Kerry attested Tuesday to the massively complex challenges Washington faces in Ukraine, Russia, Iran and the Middle East, declaring 'it was easier' during the Cold War.
"In a candid moment during a State Department speech, the top US diplomat said changing global power dynamics made a quaint memory of the early East-West stalemate, when American children would 'crouch under our desks at school and practice' safety steps for a possible nuclear attack.
"'During the Cold War… it was easier than it is today – simpler is maybe a way to put it,' Kerry told aid and development experts.
"'The choices were less varied, less complicated, more stark, more clear: Communism, democracy, West, East, the Iron Curtain.'"
Yes, those were the Good Old Days – when children in the schoolroom cowered beneath their desks – and we almost went to war with the nuclear-armed Soviet Union over missiles in Cuba which posed no more threat than missiles outside Moscow. Does "quaint" even begin to describe that vintage scene? It's all so Currier & Ives.
We were the Good Guys and the Russkies were the Bad Guys – and never the morally equivalent twain shall meet! If only we could get back to those halcyon days, everything would be "simpler," says Kerry.
Having an implacable enemy of unrivaled evil supposedly bent on our destruction has its advantages – yes, a US Secretary of State actually does seem to believe this. Having nuclear-armed enemies is a Good Thing – because it makes the job of US officials so much easier. Should we support a South American dictator who murders his own people for looking at him cross-eyed – but of course we should, because he hates the Russkies! Do we really need to build more nuclear weapons than it would take to incinerate the world one-hundred times over? The answer – back then – was an obvious yes, at least to our wise rulers (who never considered how dangerous our arsenal would become once it started to age….). And how about getting involved in a war in Southeast Asia that would take tens of thousands of American lives – and easily a million non-Americans – a war this same John Kerry would refer to with unmitigated contempt as he threw his war medals right back at the Pentagon?
Ah, yes – the beauty of simplicity! No hard decisions. No moral conundrums. Surely this was meant as a joke – right? Alas, alack – I'm afraid not:
"In the post-war 1950s and 1960s, Kerry said, 'we could make really bad decisions and still win, because we were pretty much the sole dominant economic and military power around. It's not true any more.'"
Poor Kerry: he must've been suffering from jet lag during that little convocation, because back in the cold war era there were two big powers, not one: he seems to have forgotten about the Soviet Union. But no matter: that's just a not-so-minor detail, the kind that makes all the difference in the world.
Because without the Soviets contesting us in every region on earth our poor, overworked, and completely clueless public servants are confronted with hard decisions on a daily basis, such as: which country do we invade next? And more importantly: how do we spin our regime changing campaign to make it look defensive rather than the unambiguous act of aggression it appears to be?
Decisions, decisions!
Kerry's little moment of candid conversation gives us a clue as to why our foreign policy has suddenly reverted back to its cold war incarnation, and why we're taking a sudden interest in such previously arcane subjects as the proper status of Transnistria, the legitimacy of South Ossetia's desire for autonomy, and where Crimea belongs in the vast scheme of things. Now that Al Qaeda's stock has dropped considerably – and some of their folks have magically morphed into our allies – the search for an appropriately powerful and sinister enemy has settled on our old adversary, Russia.
Some have asked: Is it really in our interest to bring back the cold war and gin up a confrontation with Putin over territory that has been an integral part of Russia since the days of Catherine the Great? Why revive this ancient conflict?
Kerry's answer to these critics ought to be clear enough: it makes things easier for US officials, especially those who have ascended to positions way out of their depth. They don't have to agonize over any hard moral choices: say, whether to align ourselves with open neo-Nazis in Ukraine or ridiculously despotic rulers like the megalomaniac "President" of Kazakhstan. The nature of the conflict makes those choices for us. All simpletons like Kerry have to do is set US policy on autopilot, and the "narrative" – Us vs. Them, Good vs. Evil, Amurrica vs. Those Heathens – does the rest.
When in the name of all that's holy are we going to start treating Russia like a normal country again? Here it is almost three decades since the end of the cold war and we're still acting as if commie missiles targeting New York and Washington are on hair-trigger alert to launch. We fought a world war against Germany and its allies, occupied their country, and seriously considered reducing it to an agricultural backwater that would never again rise to global prominence – and yet here we are collaborating with them in NATO and even joining with them to provoke regime change in Ukraine. Why the double standard?
The frightening and indubitably true answer is: because its makes matters simpler for clueless gaffe-prone buffoons like John Kerry.

There are many of the kind, not all of them named Kerry, one of them is Joe Biden, and others are those that spend $5 billion dollars of people's money to develop the Neo fascism to another level.
I agree with Kerry….
It was much easier back in the Cold War days for the US to do things like sell missiles to the Iranian "regime" of Ayatollah Khomeini, both directly and via the Israeli government as a 'middle-man', as a way to fund the "Contras" in Nicaragua in their fight for "freedom" against the 'democratically-elected' incumbent Sandinista government.
Instead of simply lying to the American people by omission, these days you need to initially publicly announce these activities as 'non-lethal' "aid" and go through the GCC and/or NATO instead of Israel exclusively…all the while playing a long game of "escalation" narratives…
Also, with the advent of Youtube and Liveleak, it's harder to explain to 'people' how mercenary terrorists and cannibals are "moderate"…but there are always work arounds…so Kerry shouldn't get too upset…
It is indeed a sad day when the only thing standing in the way of the New World Order are Russia, Iran, and Syria. Is there no way to be free from these criminals and dimwits like Kerry who rule us?
The way I read it, it actually sounds like an admission that the old: Russia bad – America good caricatured picture of the world is inadequate. Which is in stark contrast to what the neocons are trying to sell, namely that exact defunct world view. Maybe it's even a veiled criticism of his masters "no it's not that simple anymore." Of course if they wanted "easy" then they should just listen to the American people and stay out. But nooo. If the people of some country exert some sovereignty and choose a path in conflict with what the masters of the universe have decided for them, then we've got to send in the troops. Make them see the "right path" at drone point if necessary.
Some days ago a commentator wrote that Raimondo knows nothing about what it's going on in Russia and he (Raimondo) have to listen what Kasparov,the former world chess champion has to say about Putin.But the freedom of Kasparov to say all what he wants and be the head of an organized protest shows only that Russia of Putin is a free country and everyone have to remind what happened to an other bigger world chess champion Bobby Fischer when he spoke what he thought about US and Israel and that while any organization and other people stayed with him.He became the public enemy in US and after he made a new crime,namely he played chess in Belgrad while Clinton bombed the town 74 days,he lost his citizenship,arrived in Tokyo but the authorities there incited by US State Department forced Fischer to run like a hounded beast and found shelter only in Island ,the only country which dare to help the genial player.
"'it was easier' during the Cold War."—""Secretary of State John Kerry attested Tuesday…"
Sounds kind of like georgewbush complaining that his job would be a lot easier if this was a dictatorship, doesn't it?
Justin, I'm afraid I must reprimand you for the headline of this column. It is a gross insult to buffoons, clueless or otherwise. Expect a nasty e-mail from the lawyers representing the Buffoon Anti-Defamation League.
kerry a buffoon? perhaps. that said, when i hear john kerry the first thing that comes to mind is "serial liar" and "skull and bones". to my mind he and his ziocon brethren are stupid like evil foxes in a hen house. i think by easier he meant, it used to be much simpler to get away with all our bullsh*t, balderdash and outright distortions of reality and truth." he's so dumb he took a dive in '04 for the good of america i.e. so the ziocons could continue their evil.
ah yes "crazy" bobby fischer. by all accounts a genius. he declares 9-11 an inside job for israel and this is his end. his awful crime of telling the truth made him a renegade lunatic who needed to be jailed. pretty much says it all about what's going on in the world.
What was the so-called "Cold War", other than a guise for old fashioned imperialism?
Yes, it is much more difficult to make any other nation in the world look muscular enough to take on the U.S. militarily. Washington's comparative advantage militarily is as great as it has ever been. Hence, the reason why Kerry laments the difficulty in convincing the average American that Washington's current Ukraine policy has anything to do with "national security". It's a safe bet most Americans would need more than one guess to figure out where Ukraine is on a map, much less why they should feel "threatened" by Russian policy towards Ukraine. So there is a logic to what Kerry is saying, much in the same way there is a logic in militarily surrounding Russia and China.
The John Kerry's of the world might very well have their wishes fulfilled. What other choice do Russia and China have but to get more muscular militarily, and, hence, significantly increase their military budgets, in the face of an imperial power in Washington that only understands the language of military violence?
The only reason there is a Ukraine is because once upon a time there were a mess o' peasants who were ruled by Poles and a new Slavic patois came out of it…'Eastern Ukraine' was simply Russian land and industry assigned to the rump creation of the German General Staff during World War I so that they could scarf up coal as well as foodstuffs from conquered areas of Russia to better wage war on the Western Front.
Ketchup Boy would have been president in a fair election when he ran against his Skull and Bones lodge brother…we had eight whole years of rule by Chimp…Americans consistently vote for people who don't have their interests at heart. "You can't fix 'stupid,'" Ron White said and it is so true…
So, if Americans read the pronouncements of these horrifying individuals (senior 'statesman', Bob Dole, thinks we should send the Ukrainians tanks) with disdain today…we should remember who 'empowered' them.
I read, but can't confirm, that a Russian fighter was able to disrupt the Aegis air defense system on our destroyer in the Black Sea. If this has any basis in fact, every US carrier afloat is simply a new reef waiting to happen and there is no military power that the empty suits in New York and Washington can project in the region other then the same cowardly terrorism that they are projecting in Syria and Iran (or, of course, the "unthinkable"). Is the Donbas worth a war? Is all of Ukraine worth a war? No.
But, among Obama's first backers were the good Zio-Nutsis at General Dynamics. His military spending proposals are outrageous. We still have the hundreds of bases and entangling alliances that Ron Paul bemoaned (and, Ron Paul has still not furthered Libertarianism's appeal by molding it's ideals of individual freedom and small government to the stark realities of modern times). Both the New York Times and Insane McCain are on the same page with the Butcher of Benghazi and the various Demopublican rodentia of House and Senate. The price of food is far outpacing the lies that pass for our inflation figures. GD, Boeing and Mc-Douglas don't build roads and infrastructure…they don't farm organically…they don't provide clean water or cure disease…Hell, they even outsource defense spending….Piss Ants like Senator Reid are busy trying to steal land…Washington and New York have become little more than crazy uncles in the attic or rabid maniacs who need to be put down hard by communities and states all over the United States for the sake of peace, prosperity and our very existence. You won't accomplish that by voting for Demopublicans.
What's fascinating is that Captain Swift Boat now seems to have forgotten about Vietnam. Of course, I suppose that was a whole lot easier too when you're rich.
He's become another one of those politicians where one gets tired of trying to figure out which part of him was fake and phony, and instead its just easier to figure he's been lying often along the way so its not worth listening to him any more
What's fascinating is that now the US doesn't even seem to feel the need to provide evidence for its lies. The US SOS has been noting but a mouthpiece for sometimes, because the role of diplomacy and true negotiation has been eliminated in the modern US, I suppose there's not much else for them to do.
But its striking the way they don't even pretend to have evidence any more. They just stand up and tell blatant lies, and figure they'll bully all the other governments into following along. They just seem to think its whichever monkey screeches the loudest wins. Even under the deceitful Colin Powell, he at least pretended to care about making up some evidence to fool us with. Now they don't even bother. And that's not a good sign.
"and where Crimea belongs in the vast scheme of things. "
It belongs in Russia where its been since before George Washington was President. If George Washington didn't object to the Crimea being a part of Russia, I don't see why we are changing our minds about it now..
If John Kerry reads this, we'll soon see a forged George Washington letter announcing his outrage that Catherine the Great had annexed the Crimea. They'll claim they know its authentic because they captured George Washington's laptop during a raid on the terrorists that were rebelling against King George III.
I thought they found out from Icabod Crane just out of Boston in Sleepy Hollow!
Cant trust a report these days at all!
"In the post-war 1950s and 1960s, Kerry said, 'we could make really bad decisions and still win, because we were pretty much the sole dominant economic and military power around. It's not true any more.'"
Contrary to Justin's take on this statement, it is my opinion that in making it, Kerry inadvertently came close to revealing the true state of affairs that existed during the 1950s and 60s'. Because, in reality, Russia was never able to feed it's own population much less conduct a world war, never posed a military threat to the US or anyone else for that matter. Which of course means that the Cold War, like the current War On Terror, was never anything other than a hoax-war invented by Washington for the purpose of justifying a huge standing army accompanied by practically unlimited military spending designed to funnel the wealth of this nation into the coffers of defense contractors.
There are black-and-white issues out there; but we are making considerable efforts to keep them smeared and confused. One of the biggest issues is the Israeli genocide of Palestine. It is totally black-and-white. America has no business backing the racist land theft by Israel, but we can't tolerate this clarity. Another issue is the fact that the citizens of Crimea want to belong to Russia, but again this conflicts with our desires so we ignore it. We can't stand the fact that South American countries are finding socialism to be preferable to being raped by Wall Street, but our crony capitalism must be defended at all costs.
Kerry is part of the "purposefully ignorant" elite running this country. I am old enough to remember an old radio show called "It Pays to be Ignorant" . Right now, it does for the Kerrys, Nulands, etc.
Perhaps Kerry is taking part in some sort of competition. Perhaps they had a wager to see who can go for longest without accidentally saying something that is actually true. Or perhaps its about who can make the most absurd statement with a straight face. Either way, Kerry is doing really well, but he is facing stiff competition from Obama, Clinton, Hagel, Biden etc. Who will win? It may take us years to find out.
Yes it was so much easier then, when we fought in Vietnam, because if we did not, the Communists could take over America!
What we call "Cold War" of today is actually the continuation of a "Hot War" which began when the Lenin government signed the Brest-Litovsk pact and ended with the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact of 1939. It was a "Hot War" during which the German armies remained deep into Russian territory and had even occupied Kiev for a while and had made Ukraine a German dependency.
"…And how about getting involved in a war in Southeast Asia that would take tens of thousands of American lives – and easily a million non-Americans – a war this same John Kerry would refer to with unmitigated contempt as he threw his war medals right back at the Pentagon?…"
Good article from Justin, but…
America's war of aggression against "Southeast Asia" (Viet Nam, Cambodia & Laos…) slaughtered much more than "a million non-Americans": estimates range from 3 to 5 million all up, and that does not count those still dying and suffering ruined lives from Agent Orange and other toxins rained down on the environment by the US military – "the worst chemical warfare campaign in history."
And, can anyone positively confirm that John Kerry really threw his war medals back at the Pentagon? I have heard a contrary idea that they were in fact the medals of another soldier? If so, such deceit on Kerry's part is rather more consistent with his current performance.
Yes, there were two major powers during the immediate post-war era, but the US always had a significant economic and military advantage over the Soviets. This current campaign against the Russians has no more credibility than the "missile gap" propaganda the neocons promoted in the 70s and 80s.
The world wasn't any more simple in the "good old days" lamented by Kerry, but the job of serial liars like him was easier before the internet existed.
excellent comment and i'd just add that these lies are intentionally bombastic and without credibility on purpose. as we of the rational sit and debunk the latest round of bullsh*t they've heaped upon us, they've already moved on to the next round of fabrications. as absurd as it all sounds, it's a rather clever tactic which the goebbels and co. used in their rise to power in germany.
We had to fight them over there so we didn't have to fight them over here. Somethings never change in the US heartland.
That "missile gap" mantra goes back to 1960, when JFK used it against Nixon and the GOP. Back then the Democrat Party was the neocon nest, their #1 spokesman being Sen. Scoop Jackson (D-Boeing).
Fast forward to the '80s, when the neocons, having slithered over to the GOP, printed a book titled "SOVIET MILITARY POWER" (in big red letters) annually. I was in the USAF at the time and got to peruse it. The narrative was that the Red Army was an invincible juggernaut that could only be prevented from conquering the world with ever larger defense spending. (This when they were getting their butts kicked in Afghanistan!) The last volume I saw was in 1987, just before leaving the service. Five years later, the "invincible juggernaut" was no more.
"Reef waiting to happen" – ha. That's very good.
" They just stand up and tell blatant lies, and figure they'll bully all the other governments into following along."
This is the default approach across the globe. And include the US Congress in the "other governments" category.
Prime example: the actions of the USTR in the current TPP/TTIP negotiations.
"They" are not "us", nor do they represent us. "They" are not even US anymore.
The U.S. Government is irretrievably f–cked up. Personally, I think it'll take nothing less than secession to effect the necessary cure. . . .
perhaps it is much simpler than what justin and kerry say. they both, i think, make a complexity out of what clearly is a simplicity: EU/US cannot wage a war against russia or bomb it.
that's all, folks!!!!!
of course, they could bomb or attack militarily iran, but are just a bit too shy right now to do that!
does anyone doubt that russia would invade ukraine if the two traitors to ukraine, yatsenyuk and turchynov [who should be charged with treason on behalf a foreign power] send in troops into e. and s.e. ukraine?
what russia should do right now is that the two putschists must step down forthwith and be replaced with people approved or chosen by all ukrainians.
i just can't see how would law and order in ukraine an dits wholeness restored with these two lunatics in power!!!!!
Of course there is another way to make things simpler; The USA could just abandon its imperial pretenses, cut military spending dramatically, bring the troops home and let America just be a normal country like Ireland, New Zealand, Sweden, etc.

Here's something of interest. Just go to CounterPunch, and type in ; What John Kerr
y did in Vietnam. Really wonderful guy. Nice to see fate sending him on his way with a medal of infamy.
"Bomb Iran" McCain publicly endorsed and pushed for Kerry for SOS. That alone makes his qualifications for the job suspect.
Don't forget about China.
The USSR lost millions of its people to the invading Germans in WWII. That is in addition to the millions that Stalin killed before the war. They were in no position to go toe-to-toe with their wartime ally, the US, right after such massive destruction. I agree with Carroll that it was all lies and propaganda so that US hegemony could be advanced and the wartime MIC could continue to be fed. It was, and is, US hubris on a massive scale. Our so called Greatest Generation set this country on the wrong path when they, not the USSR, started the Cold War.

That would be nice. Sociopaths don't like giving up power though. But I hear ya.
agree with everything, esp. comments; except "and yet here we are collaborating with them [germany] in NATO and even joining with them to provoke regime change in Ukraine. Why the double standard?" Seriously ??? was nuland speaking german in the original version of the recording ? next thing, someone is going to claim that germans just want to support the Ukrainians because they're neo-nazis. Germany in Europe like Saudi Arabia in the ME are the financial facilitators; the're just told whom and how much to pay. Does anyone seriously think that if they propose anything contrary to israelo-us policy that it has a snowball's chance in hell of getting through?
