Random Shots in the Dark (38)

Did you know it has been 7 months since our last Random Shots in the Dark? Well, you know what that means...



There is a lot of you-know-what to clean up and haul away.

We start our roundup with the famed diplomat, Jill Kelley.

She is the Florida socialite who is the other "other woman" in the Petraeus affair. It seems she is so popular at the local military base among the general staff they have dubbed her an "honorary ambassador" to their post.

I'll let it go at that.

Anyway, it seems she called 911 the other day to complain about reporters trespassing onto her embassy and demand their removal. Inviolability I believe is the term she used.

Sounds to me like a diplomatic crisis that can only be handled at the top level of the State Department by someone who has experience in these matters.

"I don't think that's funny!"

Ouch! Sorry.


As you know, I posted an item this week about those fighting Rams at Fordham University, former home of Seven Blocks of Granite football powerhouse of the 1930s. Well, forget about the granite. The College Republicans caved in on inviting Ann Coulter to speak after the usual fascists and their cowardly university president threatened a protest. Here is the statement from the future leaders of the Republican Party:

"We hope the University community will forgive the College Republicans for our error and continue to allow us to serve as its main voice of the sensible, compassionate, and conservative political movement that we strive to be. We fell short of that standard this time, and we offer our sincere apologies"

I can't wait until one of these folks grows up and runs against Barack Obama in his 4th or 5th term. Somewhere in that crowd is the next John Boehner.



"I don't think that's funny."


On the international front, Israel is fighting back against Hamas. They seem to be doing very well after taking out the military head chingon, Ahmed Jabari,  and now blowing up the Hamas clubhouse or whatever they call it. As for Jabari, let's watch the video together, shall we?


I love it!



I guess that Angry Arab professor at California State University Stanislaus, As'ad Abukhalil,  is really angry about now.


"I don't think that's funny."

This reminds me of another crackpot professor who came to speak at UCI, Jeff Halper. According to this loon, the IDF has developed a secret weapon called Spectral Dust. When a single grain is programmed with someone's DNA and released into the Palestinian territories or Gaza, it locates the victim and kills him. How about that?

"Enough to kill a horse?"

Halper may be telling everybody that Jabari was killed by spectral dust. He's got it backwards. It was an Israeli missile that turned Jabari into spectral dust.

Meanwhile, Egypt is condemning Israel for fighting back and the Arab League, of all people, is telling Israel to stop the violence-or some such rot. What about the violence in virtually all of their countries?

Which brings us to Iraq. You remember Iraq, don't you? The Arab world's first functioning democracy. We left because everything was under control. Well, almost everything. Not only are Christians being killed, but the Sunnis and the Shi'ites are going at it as well. Why just the other day, a group of Shia worshipers were wiped out by Sunnis.

It's called Islamophobia, folks.

Meanwhile, the ever-grateful Iraqi government has called on OPEC to use its oil as a leverage against the US to change its friendly policy toward Israel. (Funny. I thought we already had since Obama became president.)

Then there is rich old Warren Buffet, who not only wants to pay more taxes, but he wants us to pay more as well. In an interview with CNN, he told us who he wants to be the next president (if Obama gives it up) in 2016. You guessed it; none other than Her Majesty Hillary Clinton.

"Now, that's funny."

It is positively hilarious, especially considering her stellar performance with the mission in Benghazi.

Speaking of Hillary, where has she been lately? Last I heard she was in Australia at some wine tasting event. I guess anywhere is better than Washington during all this fuss about who knew what and when regarding Benghazi.

But we did get good old handicapper James Clapper to come in and tell Congress what he knows about those Susan Rice talking points that she supposedly got from "the intelligence community" blaming the Benghazi attack on that video.

"I don't know anything."

Take a good look at that picture of Clapper because the next head of the Congressional Black Caucus, Marcia Fudge has announced that all this recent criticism from Republicans is being directed only at women and minorities. Maybe they haven't  read Fousesquawk and seen my "hagiographic" articles on Joe Biden, Tim Geithner, James Clapper and David Axelrod among others. If they are talking about Susan Rice, maybe they ought to ask the President who sent her out there on that suicide mission to tell the world a lie. Why couldn't they have sent The Handiclapper out there since he is the director of national intelligence?



"Please Mr Custer. I don't wanna go."

I guess that's enough for now, Charley. Haul'er away.
