Is there nothing Obama can’t do?
“On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.”
There’s more! – “Alakazam! No more dead people.”
If only it were that easy for Hillary.

While his ATV’s cargo of meat rotted in the January cold;
When Ken Hildebrand found himself stuck out in the Canadian wilderness, the good news was that he had everything with him which would ensure his survival. The bad news was that it was all beyond his reach.
Mr Hildebrand was forced to spend the next three nights trapped under his all-terrain vehicle as temperatures dropped and a hungry pack of wolves circled nearby. “I had everything I needed, but I just couldn’t get to it,” said the 55-year-old, whose ordeal happened in January as he was collecting animal traps from the woods, south of Calgary.
His truck had rolled over, pinning him underneath. He survived by eating rotten animal meat and dirt, and kept warm by using the corpses of the dead animals he had been collecting. He managed to scare off the hyenas and wolves by blowing on a whistle, and was eventually found by hikers.

More… uh…. foreign policy specifics…
But “if we are going to isolate the Venezuelans, it may be that we have to engage in a full-on diplomatic strategy with them,” the adviser says. Obama was not saying he, himself, would propose such a meeting, nor that he would necessarily participate in that meeting. When Obama referred to “my talks with President Hugo Chavez,” he did not mean “my talks,” literally (necessarily) — he meant his administration’s talks — “though it could be him engaging in this diplomacy directly and personally,” the adviser says. The point is, all the tools need to be in the diplomacy kit — isolation, willingness to hold presidential meetings, and everything in between.
And on his lack of military service;
I didn’t serve as many people my age because Vietnam was over by the time I was of draft age and we had then moved to an all volunteer army.
Whew, that was a close one! Because, as we all know, the ultimate cowardice when up against a Vietnam vet for the office of President is to have run for the safety of one of these;

A note to readers who commented on this May 22nd post titled “Return Of The Orchard Davidians (Bumped)”.
Due to a technical problem too complicated to explain here, adjustments were made that have resulted in the comments being unpublished. This, I sincerely regret. The technical problem did not originate at SDA, but stemmed from an incoming link from a site widely known for its frequent intellectual outages and related traffic meter malfunctions.
Actually, the change took place over 24 hours ago, but I did not mention it before now due to time constraints.
And because, mischief is important.

Two years ago, the City of London police attracted criticism when it emerged more than 20 officers, ranging from constable to chief superintendent, had accepted gifts worth thousands of pounds from the Church of Scientology.
The City of London chief superintendent, Kevin Hurley, praised Scientology for “raising the spiritual wealth of society” during the opening of its headquarters in 2006.
It must be a lonely time for the aspiring dictator. According to BBC;
The leader of Colombia’s largest rebel group, the Farc, has died, the military has claimed in a statement.
A national news magazine had earlier reported the death of Manuel “Sureshot” Marulanda on 26 March, citing the defence minister, Juan Manuel Santos.
There has been no confirmation from guerrilla sources. The top rebel commander’s death has been rumoured and disproved several times in the past.
But correspondents say the death would be a big blow to the Farc if confirmed.
Mr Marulanda, whose real name is Pedro Antonio Marin, has led the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or Farc, since its foundation in 1964.
He is thought to be 78 years old and there have been persistent rumours of ill health, including evidence that suggested he had prostate cancer.
And so soon after Castro.

Asked by South Dakota newspaper the Argus Leader why she didn’t buy the argument that the party was fracturing because of the prolonged contest, Clinton said “my husband didn’t wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June.”
“We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California,” she continued. “You know i just dont understand it.
“In 1999, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) decided that it did not need to regulate broadcasting on the Internet.”
Now they’re reconsidering. Let them know what you think.
