when you’ve lost…

previously…

[JOhn KErry] ”You just don’t in the 21st century behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pretext,” … “…in order to assert your interests,”

Tell that to the Eurasian Union, JOhnny.

But it’s also true that, as long as some leaders play by what Mr. Kerry dismisses as 19th-century rules, the United States can’t pretend that the only game is in another arena altogether. Military strength, trustworthiness as an ally, staying power in difficult corners of the world such as Afghanistan — these still matter, much as we might wish they did not. While the United States has been retrenching, the tide of democracy in the world, which once seemed inexorable, has been receding. In the long run, that’s harmful to U.S. national security, too.

As Mr. Putin ponders whether to advance further — into eastern Ukraine, say — he will measure the seriousness of U.S. and allied actions, not their statements. China, pondering its next steps in the East China Sea, will do the same. Sadly, that’s the nature of the century we’re living in.

Yep. WaPo Editorial Board. 3/2/14.

No wonder Putin isn’t worried…

Since the repeal of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, U.S. military bases have hosted gay marriage ceremonies and potluck gatherings. But on Saturday, servicemembers here may have been the first to take to the stage and perform as drag queens on a military installation in support of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender troops.

Drag queens and drag kings, to be precise.

Six servicemembers — gay, lesbian and straight — donned heavy makeup to dance and lip sync songs such as “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” for a raucous capacity crowd at the Rocker NCO Club at Kadena Air Base. The event was a fundraiser for the recently formed Okinawa chapter of OutServe-SLDN, which is the largest nonprofit advocate for the military’s LGBT community.

On Saturday night, the Rocker club was packed for performances by servicemembers using stage names such as Chocolate Sunrise – a crowd favorite — and Artemis Faux. The event’s sole lesbian performer took the drag king name Manny Nuff.

Some of New York City’s oldest buildings are more energy efficient than LEED-certified buildings.

Although the recently built 7 World Trade Center trumpets its LEED-Gold rating to lure renters, it isn’t as efficient as the Chrysler Building, constructed in the 1930s…

…Today, LEED Exposed, a project of the Environmental Policy Alliance (EPA), released research showing that large privately-owned buildings in Washington D.C. certified under the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, actually use more energy than uncertified buildings.

Despite having the highest number of buildings in the country certified under LEED, Washington D.C. buildings are actually less energy efficient than the national average.

Firstly:

Federal health authorities on Tuesday reported a 43 percent drop in the obesity rate among 2- to 5-year-old children over the past decade… Rates for blacks (one in nine) and Hispanics (one in six) …

About 8 percent of 2- to 5-year-olds were obese in 2012, down from 14 percent in 2004.

…“The weight of evidence is becoming more marked,” [ho. ho. ho.]

A “National Emergency”, indeed…

Teh Lady Michelle Obobo responds:

…today, we know that we can no longer let our kids eat whatever they want, because now we know better.

Remember the days of Grandma letting her kids eat pie all day? And her stories of how her Grandma let her kids eat Twinkies for breakfast? Toasted over the open buffalo chip fire within the safety of the circled wagons…

yeahhhhh…. Good Times….

“So there you stood, alone [*sob*] in some aisle in a store, the clock ticking away at the precious little time remaining to complete your weekly [when are we -- 1914?] grocery shopping, and all you could do was scratch your head, confused and bewildered [*sob*duhrrr*], and wonder, is there too much sugar in this product? [gluten-free steak!!! score!] Is 50 percent of the daily allowance of riboflavin a good thing or a bad thing? And how on Earth could this teeny little package contain five whole servings? [because maths]

…unless you had a thesaurus, a calculator, a microscope, or a degree in nutrition, you were out of luck. So you felt defeated, and you just gave up and went back to buying the same stuff you always buy.

Because peons are dim. and revolting.

[Which is, Just me™, the whole point of this exercise; to convince US peons that not only are we fat and repulsive and thus unworthy of anything resembling respect for a Free Individual -- and if not me, specifically, cuz I'm enlightened, all my icky peers -- but we [they are too stoopud to get out of our own way. Can't have a Free nation with a buncha stupid fat f#cks, now can ya?. BTNIN]

Here’s the Noo & Improved labels:

So “calories from fat” is OUT. Vitamin A & C are OUT. The whole “what ya should be aiming for” is OUT. Cuz who needs that, anyway.

Vitamin D and Potassium are IN. Cuz they’re more important. or something.

And “riboflavin” was never there. But whatever

And the Hawt Noo Thang: “Added Sugars.”

The rare few times I find myself looking at these silly labels — Holidays and Parties — I find them vaguely useless at best. Because party food.

Yeah. And they spend howmuch of our $$$ on this?

“After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama’s reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia’s Putin to invade Ukraine next,” Palin told Foreign Policy in 2008
…
Palin herself took to Facebook on Friday to remind supporters of her prediction. “Yes, I could see this one from Alaska. I’m usually not one to Told-Ya-So, but I did, despite my accurate prediction being derided as ‘an extremely far-fetched scenario’ by the ‘high-brow’ Foreign Policy magazine,” she wrote. “Here’s what this ‘stupid’ ‘insipid woman’ predicted back in 2008.” [story]

Legal Court Sanction upholding “right” to curtail Americans’ rights as hostage to “enflamed passions” of foreign citizens

San Jose suburb of Morgan Hill, CA.

Officials at a Northern California high school acted appropriately when they ordered students wearing American flag T-shirts to turn the garments inside out during the Mexican heritage celebration Cinco de Mayo, [The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals] ruled Thursday.

…Judge M. Margaret McKeown wrote for the panel. The past events “made it reasonable for school officials to proceed as though the threat of a potentially violent disturbance was real,”

Yep. The Mexican stuuuudents would riot if they saw an American flag t-shirt.

So that “justifies” telling the American students not to wear American flat t-shirts. It nowhere suggested that the Mexican students ought to be told, mind your manners or yer outta here. Everyone acts as though the violent people have some sort of mysterious Point that constitutes an excuse. Or are an Act of Nature. or something.

Wouldn’t “proceed[ing] as though the threat of a potentially violent disturbance was real” mean “No Event For You”?!? You behaved badly last year — no event this year?

No?

Moar questions:

A] How dare anyone be so un-toooolerant as to object to someone else celebrating their own cuuuultural heritage?!?

2] How dare the faaaacist Authority Figures suppress the expression of someone’s
cuuuultural heeeeritage at the behest of The Majority?!?

Whatinhell happened to punishing bad behavior — or at least letting it be known that bad behavior will be punished/not toooolerated — if should anyone engage in it?
