As a percent of GDP, China's current account in 2015 was the largest since 2010 at 2.72 percent.

A global survey of nearly 22,000 firms from 91 countries reveals the relative dearth of women in high leadership positions.

The Grexit that Could Actually Happen
Jacob Funk Kirkegaard — February 1, 2016
For years the euro area has labored to successfully prevent a financial exit by Greece from the common currency, a fear commonly known as "Grexit." Following the September 2015 elections, Greece now has a parliament that is overwhelmingly pro-euro and in compliance with the program imposed by ...
Korea's decision to delay joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) talks was a tactical mistake, says Jeffrey J. Schott. As a major trading nation, it stands to reap large gains from increased trade and investment with TPP countries and should opt to join the TPP as soon as the window for entry reopens.

What You Need to Know about the Trans-Pacific Partnership
After the closing of banks in Greece on June 28 in the run-up to the referendum of July 5 and its associated risk of Grexit, the combination of large new bank recapitalization needs and the downgrading of growth prospects and plausible fiscal performance caused the IMF to insist that further debt relief will now be necessary. William R. Cline examines whether and to what extent additional debt relief is needed in Greece under the new circumstances.
Antoine Gervais and J. Bradford Jensen use a unique dataset on the distribution of output and demand across regions of the United States to estimate the share of economic activity exposed to international competition and find that accounting for tradable services nearly doubles the international trade exposure of the American economy.
In an Economist debate forum, Adam S. Posen explains that it is natural for economies to grow and a sign of disorder when they do not. Furthermore, he argues that growth in rich countries helps alleviate, not aggravate, the global problems of climate change, water scarcity, and poverty reduction.
Sanctions on Iran: Why They Worked and Why a 'Snapback' May Not Work
Gary Clyde Hufbauer explains that economic sanctions on Iran resulted from complex financial and diplomatic activity by Washington, complicating the challenge should sanctions have to be reimposed.
Simon Johnson testifies that if authorities are unwilling or unable to simplify and downsize too-big-too-fail banks, they should substantially increase the required amount of loss absorbing equity for those firms.
Adam S. Posen testifies before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs that the international Financial Stability Board [pdf] is a useful check and occasional corrective to the US Financial Stability Oversight Council process, and it can also produce some good international standards, thus serving US economic interests. The FSB's attempt to extend Solvency II, the European Commission's regulation for insurance firms, to global application, is however a mistake.
The Federal Reserve and other regulators seem to have followed both the letter and spirit of the Dodd-Frank financial reform [pdf] instruction to more carefully regulate bank holding companies with more than $50 billion in total assets, says Simon Johnson in testimony before the House Financial Services Committee.

William R. Cline examines the basis for concerns about inflation caused by quantitative easing in terms of the quantity theory of money, and finds that inflation has remained low despite a large buildup in the Fed's balance sheet not because the velocity of broad money has collapsed, but because the money multiplier has done so.

 Boudreaux and Emerick help the reader through every step of the transformation, both cultural and operational, with expertise and ease.

  Insights from SXSW: Social Media in the Underground World of B2B
 by Susan Emerick
 Program Manager, Social Business

 I just returned from SXSW Interactive. It was my first experience attending this event and I was thrilled be a part of it.

 If you've heard from others that it has to be experienced to be understood, it's true! I've never seen anything like it. There was an incredible vibe from the massive amount of high energy innovators who are all on a quest to lead the future of digital and social innovation. Representation ran the gamut from small start-ups to well established global brands leading the way and shaping this exciting period of our history.

 I had the privilege to represent IBM Social Business leadership by participating in a panel: Social Media in the Underground World of B2B #SMB2B in which we discussed many of the pressing issues of implementing social media programs and leveraging social media as a competitive advantage from a leading B2B brand perspective.

 Melissa Chanslor from Text 100 Moderated the panel. Participating along with me were marketing leaders Duane Schulz - Xerox, Jeanette Gibson - Cisco and Shanee Ben-Zur - NVIDIA.

 Here's a summary of key points I shared based on our IBM Social Business leadership initiatives:

Understand: Conduct social listening research to better understand how and where your constituencies are participating in social. Apply the insight gathered from the research to your marketing planning process and tactical execution roadmap.

Build relationships: Deploy subject matter experts (SMEs) to build relationships with key influencers and those that follow them based on your understanding of the social ecosystem. This approach will position limited, high value resources strategically to drive business outcomes.

Enable: SMEs to build their personal - as well as your brand's - reputation by implementing employee enablement programs. These programs should provide support to these high value thought leaders, helping them engage in the right place, at the right time, in a secure way. Set clear priorities for engagement.

Show examples: Help SMEs understand the many benefits of committing to sustaining engagement by sharing examples of other leaders like them who've successfully established a position of authority as a trusted, topical thought leader.

 You can listen to the panel on the podcast on demand to hear the honest dialogue and many great recommendations shared amongst the team. Thanks to Constantin Basturea you can also read a summary of the Twitter steam on Storify.

Thing Info
Alorithmic LEGO(r) Technic compatible gear generator. The picture (from gear-27.stl) is an example of gears-v3.scad, a greatly improved adaptation of bjepson's gear.scad with all code included, round holes, and automatic parameter selection.
Greatly improved LEGO(r) Technic gear generator. It now makes actual round holes (not nonagons) and automatically picks the hole parameters for you. More importantly you don't have to download any missing pieces elsewhere, all the code is included. "gear-v3.scad" is the best version.
On Jan 6th, I fixed a glitch illustrated by the JPG image (see thingiverse.com/image:224135 ). This was an error in the original MCAD gear module. The problem shows up in gears with a small number of teeth; "gear-v2.scad" is the old version, if you want to see the difference for yourself.
To use: Load gears-v3.scad into OpenSCAD and change "10" in the line "myGear(10);" to whatever number of teeth you want your gear to have. "gear-27.stl" is sample output.

My son and I are playing with an old Lego Mindstorms set and I've been wanting to make custom-sized gears for a while. Thank you!
That's great! If you print it let me know what home printer (or commercial service) you used, and how it comes out. I haven't had the chance to calibrate the tolerances (fit).

Koichi Sugiyama
Sugiyama is the most often quoted reference by collectors in regard to Japanese camera models. After I first started this project, I was shown the relevant Yashima/Yashica entries of Sugiyama's "Collector's Guide to Japanese Cameras". I am not sure which edition this was or how many there have been (there seems to be a special edition currently available from his website but I don't know if this has been updated). Since I am somewhat at odds with him, I felt that I needed to say something.
Initially, I thought Sugiyama was the source of much of the incorrect thinking about the early cameras but by this revision, I am starting to think that whilst there are some problems, his main flaw from the collector's perspective is the omission of key models, particularly those that were primarily export focused.
The following are my comments in order of camera models.
Yashima's Pigeonflex (2212) should be 1953, not 1954 and should come before Shinano's Pigeonflex I (2211). Sugiyama contradicts himself by putting the Yashimaflex (2307) as earlier (1953 – correct year) than the Yashima Pigeonflex (1954 – wrong year according to Camera-wiki.org) and then saying that the Pigeonflex made by "Yashima Optical was the forerunner of Yashica – see Yashimaflex". Perhaps this was a simple typographical error or he has become confused with appearances or the numbering of the Pigeonflex models. In terms of forensic examination of the cameras themselves, the Yashima Pigeonflex is clearly the earliest, followed by the Shinano Pigeonflex IA with similarities to the Yashima Flex. The only Shinano Pigeonflex Sugiyama identifies is the later model I, the budget companion to the slightly more upmarket IB (on The Pigeon Loft page, I argue why I think both these models were made by someone other than Shinano). Yes, the model I does look primitive compared to the others and model I sounds as if it may come first but its focusing hood (minus sports finder), camera back locking mechanism and knobs match the model IB which has the cover plate for the shutter and is generally accepted as the last type (the IC is the same except with different lenses).
The pages I have been shown do not include the early Yashica Flex B or Yashicaflex A-I, AS-I or AS-II. The Yashicaflex S image (2287) displayed is of the correct 1954 early model with NKS-FB shutter but that particular example is fitted with the hood from a 1959 or later model camera – it has the narrow "Y" logo on a dark background (almost certainly blue) and single silver square. Early and late versions of the Yashicaflex C are shown when arguably bigger changes in other models (e.g. shutters, early/late bodies, shutter release type) are ignored. Both the Yashicaflex model A-II and model C, which are included, were very big sellers in Japan.
There is no mention of the Yashica A but he does identify the "Yashica-AIII" (2300) which seems to be a predominantly grey version of the Yashica A (also can have black or brown metalwork) but without hood logo. Yashica documentation refers to the "Yashica A III", see here. This seems to be a domestic Japanese market version only (there are no examples with focusing scales in feet). The date of 1959 is clearly not the Yashica A introduction date which Yashima's advertising puts at 1956.
His 1960 release date for the Yashica 44A is at odds with a mountain of evidence placing the date mid-1959 or slightly earlier. However, my database also indicates that for 1959, there were no examples with confirmed focusing scales in metres apart from four Burgundy (brown metalwork) cameras that have appeared on the Swedish Tradera auction site and one example with black metalwork which is also likely to have been European export. Therefore, a deferred Japanese market release in 1960 looks very plausible, but not certain. A tiny niggle is that there is a 1959 Japanese brochure with all three models advertised.
Again, the pages I have been shown do not include the following models: Yashica C, LM and B; Yashica Mat-LM; Yashica Mat-EM; Yashica 24 and Yashica 12 which all came before the Yashica Mat-124 (2302). And there is no Yashica Mat-124G. Such omissions are not unusual for collector's guides which tend to focus on key or rare models of interest but there are an awful lot of missing, dare I suggest significant, models here.
In discussing the Yashicaflex/ Yashica name change, I postulated that Sugiyama may have been concentrating, consciously or not, on actual models produced for the domestic Japanese market and tending to ignore models with an export focus. Whilst I believe that there is at least circumstantial evidence to support this idea with earlier cameras, I don't have enough information on later cameras with both dual ASA/ DIN and metres/ feet scale knobs.
It is not my intention to be critical of Sugiyama (or McKeown, who some believe has relied on Sugiyama) or to try to debunk him. The task he set himself was to compile a collector's guide of Japanese cameras (there has been an awful lot of cameras) for Japanese collectors (and maybe that means domestic market models only), not document the model history of Yashima/ Yashica, and that he has done very well. However, for understanding model development and history, his book is one tool, a starting point, it is not "the bible".
One important legacy of his is the identification of the Yashica Auto 44 including the only known photograph.
For those that don't know, Koichi Sugiyama is a classical trained musician and conductor who is famous for, and known as the godfather of, Japanese video games music. He is a busy and very talented man and photography and camera collecting are just two of his many hobbies when he is not composing, conducting or involving himself in politics.

VN Pho and Deli
VN Pho and Deli
5906 Charlotte Pike
VN Pho and Deli is an unassuming little restaurant tucked away in a nondescript set of stores on Charlotte Pike. And that appears to be exactly what the Luu-Nguyn family is looking for. The big Vietnamese joints are just across the street. VN Pho is going for a homier approach.
You'll feel that welcome the moment you step into the place. Tham Luu and his son Nam are quick to welcome you and explain some of their favorite items on the menu. You're unlikely to see mom, Hoa Nguyn, out front. She's in the kitchen carefully making every dish to order. It's actually Nam rolling the Goi Cuon spring rolls to order on our visit and for the Veggie Eater that means leaving the pork out. Everyone's English is excellent and they understand vegetarian needs. That doesn't necessarily mean they have a lot on the menu for vegetarians, but they're willing to do what they can. Those spring rolls are sticky, crunchy and fresh. The house made peanut dipping sauce is a real treat. Nam recommends the Vietnamese coffee. With this heat the coffee on ice hits the spot. It's a strong brew with plenty of sugar syrup and spices of some sort.
The Banh Mi Thit features homemade Vietnamese butter on the soft bun. Pork spread, sausage, veggies and jalapenos round out this spicy, salty and excellent sandwich. Banh Xeo are super-crisp thanks to rice flour. The so-called Vietnamese pancakes are really more like a crispy omelet filled with shrimp and pork. The turmeric gives it a nice flavor. Wrap up pieces of the pancakes in fresh lettuce with a little mint and dipping sauce.
I go all the way on the Pho, which includes steak, meatballs, brisket, tendon and tripe. A conversation reveals that the family gets their meat from Atlanta to make sure they get the Vietnamese-style cuts they want. The steak and brisket are quite tender. The tripe and tendon have a good consistency, not chewy. The fine broth is made each day and they point out that at the end of the day they toss it out. It takes hours to cook a new batch so once they're out, they're out.
Veggie Eater: Meat Eater was kind enough to conduct reconnaissance prior to bringing me here to ensure that VN Pho could accommodate my veggieness. This is important because I find the Vietnamese joints in general are not very veggie friendly and frequent language barriers make menu deviations a dicey proposition at best. There is not a single veggie item on the menu, but Nam confirmed they could adjust the Mi Xoa to be a veggie dish. It's a plate full of thin, lightly fried noodles topped with stir fried onions, greens, cilantro and served with a savory sauce (appeared to be fish sauce free) on the side. As always, the table is full of a variety of fun condiments (Meat Eater discovered he is not a fan of shrimp paste, but this is Nam's favorite condiment)—I discovered a dried pepper powder which gave the dish a little pop. Nam and his father are literally beaming with pride at the product Ms. Nguyen is producing, as well as they should be. Meats are purchased from a wholesaler in Atlanta as they are not convinced of the quality and freshness of the products in Nashville. Whatever isn't consumed in a day is tossed out; if they run out of Pho, it's because they've had a good day and that's ok. Dipping sauces are made on site, not out of a bottle. It's already developing a loyal following, as evidenced by two guys at the table next to us, one of whom comes in regularly with his wife, but brought his friend on this day to turn him onto this hidden gem. I'll happily venture back to see what Nam will recommend and what mom will conjure up for a veggie selection next.
Meat Eater: We enjoyed chatting with the Nam and his father. They've only been open a few months now, but it sounds like the place is catching on with the Vietnamese community. They're not new to the restaurant business. The family had a restaurant in West Nashville about 10 years ago. They closed because mom was simply worn out from all of that cooking. Here's hoping she can pace herself with VN Pho. It's a nice addition to the Nashville restaurant scene.
I paid $12 with tax and tip on a solo visit and we paid $23 together for a lunch visit.

New Farmers' Markets
New Farmers' Markets
This week launches the expansion of the Good Food for Good People Farmers' Markets projects organized by our neighbor, Sean Siple. Sean and his folks are passionate about locally sourced, nutritious, accessible food and this extends well beyond the farmers' markets that they organize. On any given day you can find Sean actually helping people farm, helping churches and schools build community gardens, providing hands on learning experiences at schools to help kids learn how to manage their community gardens. He's also busy hooking up local restaurants with local farmers; the list is endless. Our favorite market in the Nashville area happens to be the West Nashville Market on Saturdays In Richland Park. And I'm not saying this just because Sean is our neighbor (after all, I did get to meet Emmylou Harris here and tell her my llama story). Good Food for Good People is adding a sister market, Country to the Core, to their already burgeoning projects. This market will be held from 11am-2pm on Tuesdays at the Bank of America Plaza between Bank of America and the Doubletree Hotel. There will be music, a variety of locally sourced food items and perhaps even some art. If you work downtown, I'd wager this will be the best lunch option on Tuesdays. You can check out their Facebook page.
Not content to merely be rolling out one new market, The Good Food folks are also adding a partnership with Donelson Fifty Forward to host a Friday market, named "Hip Donelson", from 4-7 pm. It fills a farmers' market void in Donelson.
If you're interested in more information about the dizzying array of projects, markets, and local involvements of the Good Food for Good People peeps, check out their webpage.

Pupuseria Salvadorena
Pupuseria Salvadorena
340 Welch Road
It's catch up time on the blog. Folks have been saying good things about Pupuseria Salvadorena for some time now. It's been a regular stop for Lannae and that's a good recommendation for us. Salvadorena does some big family business. A Saturday afternoon finds the place packed and a bit smoky from cooking. There is understandably a bit of a wait because customers are not just in the dining room- they're lined up for take-out orders. Still, the food keeps coming. That's thanks to an army of ladies in the kitchen. You can hear them laughing and patting out dough for the pupusas and thick, doughy tortillas.
Pupusa loroco is just the right amount of cheesy and great flavor from the loroco flower buds. The curtido slaw on the side is vinegary and just right. A carne asada plate has nicely seasoned beef with big slices of ripe avocado, fresh pico de gallo and quality frijoles. A little spicy verde sauce and it's a darn good lunch. However, that carne asada is even better piled up in a messy and delicious torta sandwich. Quesadillas also do well thanks to excellent ingredients. They're lightly grilled and packed full of chicken breast, cheese, onion, lettuce and tomato. It's an unusual pile up of stuff for a quesadilla and yet it works.
Veggie Eater: Central American restaurants seem to have fairly limited menus in general and this translates to even few veggies options. The options here amount to the pupusa loroco y queso or the pupusa frijole y queso. Feeling crazy, I had one of each. The fancier version (loroco) is pretty much as Meat Eater already indicated-the salsa verde has a nice afterburner heat to it. The curtido is tangy and sour. The cheese itself is both crispy and gooey. All of this on a homemade pupusa equals the perfect complement of textures and flavors. The frijole y queso version is a bit more filling, but simpler in both flavor and texture. Not much else to sample here, but a treat for every once and a while.
Meat Eater: The line to pay your bill is the same as the take-out line and that can cause a real logjam. Service, however, is friendly and efficient otherwise. I paid $13 with tax and tip on one visit and we paid $20 for two on another visit. Welch is a little side street off of Nolensville Road, just north of Harding Place.

VA Long-Term Care:
Changes In Service Delivery Raise Important Questions
GAO-04-425T: Published: Jan 28, 2004. Publicly Released: Jan 28, 2004.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-7207
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is likely to see a significant increase in long-term care need over the next decade. The number of veterans most in need of longterm care services--those 85 years old and older--is expected to increase from about 870,000 to 1.3 million over this period. Many of these veterans will rely on VA to provide or pay for nursing home care or noninstitutional services that may help them remain at home and, for some, delay or prevent the need for nursing home care. VA operates its own nursing home care units in 132 locations. VA also pays for nursing home care under contract in non-VA nursing homes--referred to as community nursing homes. In addition, VA pays part of the cost of care for veterans at state veterans' nursing homes and also pays a portion of the construction costs for some state veterans' nursing homes. Congress has expressed concerns about recent trends in VA long-term care service delivery and how VA plans to meet the nursing home care needs and related longterm care needs of veterans as the elderly population most in need of long-term care increases. GAO was asked to determine for fiscal years 1998 through 2003 (1) how VA nursing home workload has changed and (2) how VA noninstitutional long-term care workload has changed.
Recent trends in VA nursing home care and noninstitutional service delivery raise important questions, particularly whether access to services is sufficient to meet the needs of a rapidly growing elderly veteran population. VA's overall nursing home workload--average daily census--was 33,214 in fiscal year 2003, 1 percent below its fiscal year 1998 workload. The workload was below the fiscal year 1998 level each year, decreasing by as much as 8 percent below the fiscal year 1998 level in fiscal year 2000. VA's use of nursing home care by setting also changed over the 6-year period. First, the percentage of workload in state veterans' nursing homes increased as the number of state veterans' nursing homes receiving VA payments increased. Second, the percentage of workload in VA's own nursing homes declined, in part, because VA decreased the number of long-stay patients and increased the number of short-stay patients it treats in the nursing homes it operates. This is consistent with VA's increased emphasis on post-acute care. Third, the percentage of workload in community nursing homes declined from 17 to 13 percent. VA officials told us that now shorter-term contracts are often used to transition veterans to nursing home care, which is paid for by other payers such as Medicaid. VA's noninstitutional long-term care workload--average daily census--increased by approximately 75 percent from fiscal years 1998 through 2003. Workload increased by 4,655 during this period to 10,892, reflecting a change in VA's approach to care which includes meeting more long-term care need through noninstitutional services. Most of the growth in noninstitutional workload came from VA's greater use of contract skilled home health care, which includes medical services provided to veterans at home, and homemaker/home health aide such as grooming and meal preparation.

As the school year is finally winding down it's a special time for parents to take a look at safety training and protective gear for youngsters so they can enjoy the ATV experience without injury.

Looking at a couple of bikes. One has v brakes one has disk. What are the pro's and con's ? tks....
You might just as well ask everybody to comment on the pro's and con's of the various religions.
Personally, I much prefer decent quality linear pull brakes like Avids or Shimanos. I hate the cheapies like ProMax.
If you scan the posts, I think that you will find a lot of posts asking about how to set up disc brakes or how to make them give adequate stopping power. Others will comment that it's all in the set up and once you figure them out they're great.
There are lots more people who know how to set up linear pull brakes than who know how to set up cable operated discs..
Do a search on this. There have been many previous threads, particularly over in the Commuting Forum.
+1.........You really need to ask yourself what the bike will be used for. If you're doing serious off-roading, the mechanical discs have some definite advantages. For one, most folks feel that mechanical discs have more stopping power than linear pull rim brakes, myself included. For riding in wet or muddy conditions, discs are better because the brake surface (the rotor) is up near the hub, while rim brakes put the brake surface right down into the water, mud, etc. I had a bad experience with hydraulic discs (I know others love their hydraulics so this isn't to condemn all hydraulic disc brakes), so I would actually prefer mechanical discs over hydraulics for their relative simplicity. I've used the Avid mechanicals, and was very impressed.........Linear pull brakes (v-brakes) are generally lighter weight, easier to set up and maintain (although the Avid mech. discs I used are very easy, too), and are less expensive. And if you don't foresee a lot of wet or muddy riding, there's really not a huge disadvantage to them. I've got some XT v-brakes with the XT servo-wave levers and brake boosters, and they're pretty darned good. In terms of braking power with rim brakes, those particular brakes are about as good as it gets, and I'd venture to say not too far removed from mech. discs in terms of braking power..............I'll add this about rim brakes if you go that route: install some Kool Stop salmon brake pads no matter which brand of brakes you get-Originally Posted by Retro Grouch

South African wine
Winemaking in South Africa dates back to 1659 when their first vineyard sites were harvested after French and Dutch colonization. Production today is concentrated around Cape Town, but there are about 60 appellations within the country. Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc are both notable varieties grown in the region.

Chennai, Oct 22 (IANS) Pawan Kalyan starrer Telugu political satire "Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu" garnered a whopping Rs.52 crore at the box office, which includes overseas collection, in its opening weekend, despite Telangana activists disrupting screenings in some parts of Andhra Pradesh.
The film released worldwide Oct 18 in more than 1,500 screens.
"The film collected approximately Rs.52 crore in its opening weekend. Due to political protest, the collections on second day (Oct 19) dropped drastically, but it picked up on third and fourth day," trade analyst Trinath told IANS.
Directed by Puri Jagannadh, the film, reportedly made at a budget of Rs.25 crore, collected a Rs.13.5 crore on its opening day at the domestic box office.
In the US, it collected Rs.1.85 crore from the first two days of its screening.
"Power star movie does power packed business. 'Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu' in US collects total of $345,357 (Rs.1.86 cr)," Taran Adarsh tweeted.
In the film, Pawan Kalyan plays a mechanic, who accidentally becomes a journalist and locks horns with Prakash Raj, a corrupt politician.
The film invited the wrath of Telangana activists following its release, especially from students of the Osmania University (OU) Joint Action Committee (JAC), activists of the Telugu Desam and the YSR Congress, over certain characters, dialogues and scenes.
"Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu", which was produced by D.V.V. Danayya, also starred Tamannah Bhatia, Brahmanandam, Ali and M.S. Narayana in the lead roles.

The happiest man in the world today is Joe Biden. Long recognized as the stupidest politician in world history, Biden realizes he might have met his match! Biden is just giddy. Even more than usual. In fact, he was so happy, he spent most of the afternoon licking the windows of his limousine! No, not because Chuck Hagel could surpass Biden's intellectual deficits…but because Biden's handlers let him out of his cage for a day at the zoo.
Chuck Hagel is merely the newest low set by Barack Obama on his quest to make America the world's laughingstock. And one must admire his ability to do so when he continues to place industrial-strength morons in positions previously held by qualified professionals. Not Democrats, of course. And not recently.
Chuck Hagel is to stupidity what Harry Reid is to douche baggery. They both excel in their individual specialties. And neither one really cares about their country. What continues to amaze AWD on a daily basis is that mouth-breathing tards like Chuck Hagel, Al Franken, the entire Congressional Black Caucus, Nancy Pelosi and too many more to mention control the direction of America. Is there any wonder why we're so f-ed up?!
Here's Lindsey "Fredo" Graham smacking Hagel around. Lindsey seemed to be having a little hissy fit. He probably had just gotten back from picking up McCain's dry cleaning and shining his shoes and hadn't had time to mellow with a lavender-scented bubble bath to the soothing sounds of Yanni.
Taking a butt-whoppin' from Fredo Graham is like getting your ass kissed by Winnie the Pooh. In front of your girlfriend. At the prom. With the whole school watching.
Hagel bumbled and stumbled through the questioning making it clear he is totally undergunned for the SecDef position. By selecting Hagel as his nominee, Obama continues to flip the finger at the military. While AWD wouldn't mind flipping off several politician General officers hiself, our fighting men on the front lines deserve a lot better from a Secretary of Defense than one who agreed with a caller on CSPAN who called America the "bully of the world."
Not only is Hagel not a great fan of America and our traditional ally Israel, he is also ignorant about our military. But, you'll be pleased to know, he's willing to learn on the job! That's like saying "Hey Navy Seals, thanks for letting me on the team! I'm going to learn to shoot a rifle one day!"
That Chuck Hagel was a Republican Senator from Nebraska shows just how bad the wussypants Republicans suck! And Hagel was beaten up by Lindsey Graham, a man-servant to John McCain! How's Hagel to go head-to-head with the Chinese or Russians when they make their move? Short answer, he won't. Just like his boss. And lots of people are going to die because of Obama's and Hagel's weakness and dislike for America.
Hagel will be the next Secretary of Defense because the Dims control the Senate and they also despise America and our military. Plus, they give Hussein everything he wants. Even moreso if it destroys the country faster. Only the good guys suffer.
Maybe Hagel can give some window-licking tips to Biden. I'm sure he has lots of practice.
