prolepsis / analepsis (updated)

Let’s see:  a timeline for troop drawdown is announced, and the non-existent al-Qaeda forces in secular Iraq cheer a Democrat victory in Congress, brand us as retreating cowards, and announce plans to bring back the Caliphate while blowing up the White House. Nope.  A timeline won’t embolden the terrorists or be seen as a date for surrender.  It’ll be viewed as an opportunity for diplomacy, and a chance for the

Why Robert Gates? [Dan Collins]

Apart from his being on the Baker Commission, and having advance notice of what their report is likely to say, why, people are wondering, appoint a CIA type, a former spookmaster, as the WOT enters a new phase?  Personally, I think the question almost answers itself.  But for reporters for whom everything is political, that may be a puzzler, I guess.

What the trader said to his monitor 6 [A post by Beck]

I swear to God, someone is fucking manipulating this thing.  That’s the only possible explanation.  It’s all those people stuck with Amaranth positions trying to support the front so they can unload the back.  Motherfucking shitheads.  Well two can play at that game… Line up some bids… “YOURS!” Sweep that shit down. These people have no idea what’s about to hit them.  They are going to taste their own medicine.

Man I tell you, this thing has three speeds: fast, faster, and boogie.  And right now I’m the fucking dance floor at the annual epileptic’s clog festival.

The Pacific Ocean has given birth to a new volcanic island near Tonga, according to ocean-going eyewitnesses. Crew on board a yacht called the “Maiken” believed they were the first to see a volcanic island forming a day out from Neiafu, Tonga, while sailing towards Fiji in August, the Matangi Tonga news website reported Wednesday. “One mile in diameter and with four peaks and a central crater smoking with steam

Come on.  Show me some love.  Just a little love.  That’s all I ask for.  A little– yes.  Yes!  Fucking finally… I knew I was fucking right… Thank fucking– …  FUCK!  You fucking tease don’t fucking… shit… this is fucking awful.

Where Charity Begins [Dan Collins]

Jeff is busy with a variety of interesting and time-consuming projects, so he’s asked that I post this: I’m asking for your help again in spreading the word about this latest tragedy in our Air Force family. “The eleven year old brother had to have part of his liver removed, doctors are trying to repair his broken pelvic bone, and his right arm had to be amputated just below the
