So, we, the USA, traded a group of five Taliban prisoners for one American soldier. This soldier is suspected of actually being a deserter. On top of that, we had two soldiers killed while looking for him. It seems plausible that he did desert, since he walked away from camp with only a flashlight and a bottle of water.
Washington has their undies in a wad because of several reasons. Congress had their feelings hurt because they weren't asked. Five for one seems like a crappy deal. Consider that the Taliban prisoners were high ranking officials in that group of poop-heads, and our soldier is probably not very well liked in the military let alone a significant cog in the war machinery.
The hometown and the family of the soldier are very happy that he is coming home and I understand that. Time will probably tell what the circumstances of his disappearance were and weather or not the hometown fans remain loyal.
The disturbing thing to me is that we have played lets make a deal with an arch-enemy. On top of that, we proved to be really poor deal makers.

When Mother Nature flushes, we know where it goes. New Jersey and North Florida !!!!!
Just Kidding:)

obama v putin
Ukrane is in real turmoil. Obama is still threatening Putin. Putin seems to be calling his bluff. Russia has appointed themselves peacemakes for the Ukrane. We think we should be the one. Other than Persons of the Ukrane or decendants, who gives a hoot?
When its over there will be plenty of opportunity to throw our money away over there. (sarcasm)

WHOA! A 17 year old in Wisconsin was planning a day of Mayhem. If I get this correct, he was gonna shoot his sister, mom and dad. Then he was gonna start a fire close by to occupy authorities so he could go to his school and set off some bombs. Then he was gonna shoot the resource (police) officer at school and go outside to shoot students as they left the building. Finally, he was going to force responding authorities to shoot him.
Wow, what a plan. What sickens young people so much that makes them scheme up such crap? It must be some pent up anger that makes such a youngster scheme up such behavior?. This type of behavior seems to be becoming more common. Is this a need for 15 minutes of fame? Or, has the younger generation become so numb to this behavior? Horror films, zombies, vampires, video games full of violence, etc.. Could anyone be so stupid as to believe that killing people for real is like the games they play? Fun today and can do it again tomorrow.
If its simply a deep desire to part from this life, lets give them an avenue that harms no one else. How about a firing squad. Lots of volunteers I am sure.
Seem harsh? Rather have dozens of innocents dead? Me either.

talk to me
Contact me at dinocoverstone@gmail.com. Just kidding about your possibly being a dumb-ass! Love to hear from you.
Stuff I think stuff about
I saw that a baseball pitcher received a suspension for "doping" baseballs. Seems this guy smeared pine tar on his neck for this purpose. Apparently the opposing coach could see it clearly from his dugout and brought it to the attention of the umpire who proceeded to eject the guy. Subsequently a 10 game suspension was handed down. Now, this guy pitches. He doesn't play in every game, so he could conceivably not miss a game. Base ball is full of cheaters and smart guys.
Everyone continues to spend millions of dollars to find a very large aircraft that has been missing for well over a month. Nice effort. Be nice to have some real idea where the darn thing is!!!
I bet other countries watch blurbs about the US just like I watch WORLDS DUMBEST.
Joan Rivers is being bashed for some remark she made. She related her "space" at her daughters as being more confining than the three women from Ohio that were held captive. She didn't mean to demean them. She wasn't making a statement about their experience. She simply was making a statement meant to be comical about her situation. Everybody needs to get over it.
Caroline Kennedy, in an interview was asked if she thought Hillary Clinton would be a good President. She answered yes she would like to see that. Next question was would she like to see Mrs. Clinton be President since she was a supporter of Obama last election. She said, I just said I would. Dumbass was what she was thinking. Typical of Medias effort to create controversy where there really isn't any.
Hell, I would like to see Hillary Clinton be President. Could not be worse than the last couple. Might have enough balls to start moving toward a balanced budget. Last one to do it was her husband.
It might be fun if Sarah Palin ran again.
How about the Rancher out west that has been letting his cows pasture on Federal Land and defying the Governments efforts to make him stop. He was being treated as a leader for all sorts of anti-government groups. That is until he made the statement that Negroes would still be better off as slaves picking cotton. Wow! Followers left in droves. Some were very agitated about the use of the NNNNNNNN word. Really? That's the thing to be upset about?
How about the hopeful here in our area that has embarked on a really low campaign tactic of blatant attacks on his opponent and her family. Pretty disgusting. Even if I voted, I wouldn't cast a vote his way if I was paid. Butt.
Ever watch the show on TV.. Rediculousness? Defines the show well.
I-pod, I-pad, I-phone, I-tablet............I-care!
Latest Driving while Blind. Cars now do more than park themselves. They warn you of unexpected lane change. Warn you of someone in your "Blind-spot". Warn you, and, stop the car if you are driving in dense fog and are about to run into something. Warn you that something is behind you so you don't run over the neighbors cat, or the neighbor. Probably need to warn you that you are to stupid to be driving.
Reference the first item......New York Yankees have a nice long streak of stupid cheaters.

A lot of posturing in and around Ukrane these days. The US is certain that the Ruskies under Putin's control are attempting the start of WWIII. Guess what, it takes two to make a fight. I can think of no reason we need to be the second dog in the fight.
Clearly, we think that Putin is wrong in his thinking. Clearly, Russia believes we are wrong in our thinking. Who is right? I have an idea, lets let Russia and the Ukrane work out their differences. I see no reason for us to continue to try and impress our beliefs on yet another foreign country.
Lets look at recent history. We (the US) have certainly made messes in a number of countries of late. We have not changed Iran, Iraq, Afganistan, Korea, Viet Nam, etc.. I saw a blurb on the news that talks between Israel and Pakastan have stalled. WOW! That's news you don't hear more than a dozen or so times a year. We were upset that our efforts were fruitless. No kidding. We perpetually are working on peace in that area. They continue to fight and we continue to try and stop it.
A wise man once told me...continuing the same behavior over and over and expecting different results is the definition of stupid. Then again I guess that could apply to our whole political system.
Forest Gump said it well...STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES.

Bobbitt style.
Sooooooooo...the Roman Catholic Church is still having trouble deciding sexual mis-conduct is a bad thing. Seems they may not be able to find the right scripture that confirms suspicions of said abuse being a bad thing.
How in this day and age can anyone have trouble condemning an adult preying on young children? The Church is no longer denying that members of the clergy prey on children, they just haven't figured a way to continue excuse of it.
Good news is that they are holding a "summit" to continue discussions.
Lets loosen up the ability for these guys to marry a female. Maybe then their urges could be satisfied without having to prey on young boys. For those who wish to continue their abstinence, lets help em out with a little snip Bobbitt Style!

IDIOTS
NBC Nightly News just had a segment on Gun control again. Seems the NRA is holding their annual get together in Indianapolis this week. Again puffing and posturing about everyones right to have firearms. Outside the convention hall are a group of people apparently headed by a leadership of women (mothers) whome have lost someone to gun violence. Obviously they have conflicting beliefs with the NRA. They blame the NRA for perpetuating gun violence. The 5 million or so members of the NRA do not advocate gun violence. The NRA believe in the right to own guns.....legally. They advocate that guns be allowed for recreational purposes, not for the slaughter of innocent children.
One of our local cities, South Bend, experiences gun violence with frightening frequency. I feel safe in my assumption that the perpetrators are probably not card carrying members of the NRA. Most likely they belong in the "dumb ass" category of humans. People of little social value or ambition beyond wanting something for nothing, or a little short of ethics.
While I support the women in their efforts to make society a more safe environment, I cannot agree with their views that gun control is the answer let alone accomplishable. It is already illegal to kill someone and yet that doesn't stop these idiots. Making firearms illegal probably will not stop these idiots. Idiots will continue to be .........IDIOTS.

bite Al
The fifth snowy-est winter of record. Tomorrow begins our Spring season. Next weeks forecast is for temperatures around 20 degrees below normal. Even the possibility of more snow!
Is anyone else tired, more so than normal? If Al Gore were here I'd punch him in the nose. It's his fault, he pissed off mother nature with all his Global Warming crap.
Well all you Polar Bears, take heart, the Ice Age is upon us. You will have no shortage of area to roam!!! When you see Al, bite him in the tucus.
