Sorry, while I do like taking the day off to do all those things I didn’t get done over the weekend, I do not like the whole concept of “Presidents Day.” It’s a kind of “Everyone gets a trophy for being POTUS”. National Holiday to making sure no one’s feelings are hurt. Gag. So, here’s some random photography … It’s been in the low 80s for a couple of weeks

The theme for Obama’s last 23 months of office: “So many allies, so little time …” [Darleen Click]
…to sacrifice them all.” Why Is the U.S. Sacrificing Thailand to China? Simply put, Thailand—like Morocco, Taiwan, Colombia, Israel, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates, among others—has consistently oriented its policies in support of ties, friendship, and alliance with the United States only to feel that the United States looks at traditional allies with disinterest if not disdain. Simply put, under President Obama, Thailand finds itself cast aside. And while
BREAKING: Shots fired, one dead, at Copenhagen free speech event [Darleen Click] UPDATED

Random acts of kindness … [Darleen Click]
“You don’t expect humanity on aisle 11 of a big-box store.” The quiet 15-year-old in the black suit was looking for a clip-on tie for his first job interview, but Target only sells regular ties. That’s when Dennis Roberts, Cyndi Moore and Cathy Scott came to his rescue. “When Dennis was tying the tie, we took the time, ‘Look presentable, tie your shoe laces, tuck your shirt in,’ we were
Motherhood echoes [Darleen Click]
It was in the mid-80s today in SoCal … mornings and evenings are cooling into high 40s, so everyone’s windows are open to catch the breeze. The neighbors have a four-month old baby whose room is opposite our master bedroom. I think the baby is teething and he has a real good set of lungs. And, damn, if at the first cry I’m not sitting up at my desk with
It’s Friday afternoon, the day before Valentine’s Day … [Darleen Click]
Have you already planned what you’re doing tomorrow, or are you waiting until tomorrow? Or have you already been bemoaning to your love that the day is “too commercialized” and a “conspiracy of the Big Card and Big Candy”? Or is it just too much an exercise in enforcing heteronormative gender roles propping up The Patriarchy? Personally? I enjoy the day (and not just for the chocolate). I tell my

Obama: A study in the banality of evil [Darleen Click]
“If a guy goes into a kosher market and starts shooting it up, he’s not looking for Buddhists, is he?” the reporter asked State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki. Not to worry too much … CNN spins with this headline: “GOP targets Obama for Kosher deli ‘random’ comments” Obama could give a fuck about Jews, especially those Israeli ones who keep making trouble for him by showing up dead at the
