9/12 Soon Coming

 At first, I had no entry for 9/ 11 / 11 but relaxed with my family.

The church down the street had a nondenominational service, there was a remembrance along a peaceful creek near here, and there was a low-key event at Seattle Center.  

I didn't watch tv or listen to the radio or even do much reading, though I noticed this image.  After reading what Kayakbiker and Chris wrote, and Nyc's Doonesbury cartoon, I decided to put this up. 

No matter who is President, this has been a tortuously long decade and I am glad this day is almost coming to a close.  There have been sensitive and respectful events, and some critical analysis and context, but all too much exploitation, commercialization, and nationalistic cheerleading.

Khadafi's Condi Rice Fixation

Muammar Qadhafi obsessed with Condoleezza Rice? - Tim Mak - POLITICO.com

The dictator kept a scrapbook filled with photos of Condi, neocon and former Secretary of State as well as National Security Advisor at one time under Bush.  State Department is describing the album as "creepy."

This should not be surprising, however, as Moammar's fixation was well known.  For example, he stated a few years ago:

"I support my darling black African woman," he said. "I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders. ... Leezza, Leezza, Leezza. ... I love her very much. I admire her, and I'm proud of her, because she's a black woman of African origin."

"The liberals should be afraid of the Tea Party movement because they are audacious enough to believe that we are taxed enough already," Bachmann said. "President Bachmann will hold bake sales, if I need to, to make sure our men and women in uniform get their paychecks." 

"There isn't a day that goes by that somebody doesn't think about how they're going to destroy the United States today," she said.  "If there is anything that history has taught us, it is that when a madman speaks, you listen and you defeat him."
