DIRTY WORK

I always liked this song when the classic rock station played it. I never really listened to the lyrics that closely; I just liked the bluesy sound, and was sure it was by a Southern rock band. Shows what I know - it is of course by Steely Dan, whose members all hail from the upper East Coast.

I can listen to this tune for hours on end:




Occasionally I'll watch parts of it - these women who did President Clinton's dirty work (I spent the Clinton years outside the US and was thus spared the daily bombardment at the time).

Now that our enemies are emboldened, and whole countries in the Middle East are threatened by popular uprisings, this YouTube clip has taken on a new meaning. Now it's President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and she's a fool to do his dirty work. The ending of the song is prescient: "like a castle in its corner in a medieval game, I forsee terrible trouble and remain here just the same."

Remember when all we worried about was who was sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom? Makes me feel positively sentimental...Bill Clinton has been totally rehabilitated. I just have one question: what the hell is the King doing here at 1:46 and 1:52???

CLINTON UPDATE

Why does nobody pay any attention to what Hillary is doing? She's the Secretary of State; a preacher with a ministry of 50 people down in Florida gets more attention whether or not he burns a Koran, like it matters?


Hillary seems to be getting one hell of a pass by the press.

She basically hasn't done anything of notice or merit IN EITHER DIRECTION for either political party since she ran for presidential election. Smells funny to me.

Michelle Obama gets 10 pages here and three pages there and she has no official role but the primarily leftist press doesn't trumpet any Hillary achievements because she doesn't have any notable ones I can recall and the right wing press doesn't attack her for any decisions or policies to amount to anything, because she DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY.

I smell a lawyer looking to run for president masquerading as Secretary of State.

Barack Hussein Obama won't release enough records to enlist in the US Army as an E-1 and Hillary Clinton won't do the slightest thing that might attract the least bit of attention to herself from her political enemies.

She's given a couple of speeches with basically no content; she could be called on from either camp, especially at places like UNICEF parties; she tippy-toes around talking to foreign leaders about nothing of consequence. Basically she's doing her best to look like she has no opinions . . .

Any readers out there who can give me firm examples of where she's stood up for much of anything at all of SIGNIFICANCE on principle since she became Secretary of State, FEEL FREE.

As Secretary of State she has had absolutely ZERO noticeable/notable influence on ANYBODY'S foreign policy or actions.

Interesting, isn't it?

Sarkozy's wife gets more press than HC and she's just an "executive toy" as far as politics go.

Is Bill Clinton's CGI the New U.N.?



Has Bill Clinton gotten bigger than the United Nations? The Clinton Global Initiative may not have a standing army, but the organization is becoming known for tackling the thorny problems the U.N. can't handle. CGI has nabbed top-tier speakers from Barack Obama to Bill Gates for its New York summit this week—happening right down the street from the U.N.'s General Assembly meeting. The U.N. may be the terrain of "nerdy policy people," international health expert Paul Farmer tells Olopade, but "what happens at CGI is the nitty-gritty of deal making."

ANALYSTS: CLINTON HAD PHOTO OP WITH KIM JONG-IL LOOK-ALIKE

Did President Clinton Meet North Korea's Kim Jong-il or a Look-Alike?

Analysts are convinced that North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-il, has a look-alike standing in for him.

It is also believed that North Korean photo editors are also pasting in old pictures of Kim from previous times when he was in good health.

Japanese writer Toshimitsu Shigemura claims that Kim has been seriously ill for the past decade and may even have died.

Mr. Shigemura says that if the real Kim, looking wan and weak, appeared before the Supreme People's Assembly several days after North Korea fired a long-range missile on April 5, then it must have been a look-alike who hosted former US President Bill
Clinton in August.

"They were totally different people," says Mr. Shigemura, a former correspondent for Mainichi Shimbun, a major Japanese newspaper, who now teaches international relations at Waseda University in Tokyo. "In August, he looked very healthy."

Some analysts have trouble with Shigemura's analysis. "There have been such rumors," says Kim Tae-woo, a veteran North Korea specialist at the Korea Institute of Defense Analyses. "Dictators usually do that, but we don't know whether this is real or fake."

It is stated that Hitler had up to 6 doppelgängers (doubles) - one who is believed to have been killed at the bunker - while Saddam Hussein had at least 3.


This body was discovered by the Russian contingent in Berlin and assumed to be Adolf Hitler. It is actually Gustav Weler, Hitler's Doppelgänger (body double), who was executed with a gunshot to the forehead.

COMING HOME

Laura Ling and Euna Lee, the two American journalists sentenced to 12 years hard labor in North Korea, are on their way back to the United States, thanks to the efforts of President Bill Clinton.



Do not fall for North Korean attempts to exploit this; Bill Clinton did a good thing, this is a time for joy & celebration. Two American citizens being held against their will have been liberated. 4+ months in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is no vacation - the DPRK is NOT a fun place to be, even in a "guesthouse" in Pyongyang.

Euna Lee and Laura Ling were arrested for "grave", though unspecified, crimes on the North Korea-China border earlier this year. It is widely thought that they deliberately crossed the border


The former President meets Yang Hyong Sop, Vice-President of the Presidium of the Supreme People’s Assembly - whatever you gotta say, whatever it takes - as long as there's no strings attached - to get your people back.


North Korea’s official news agency reported that Mr Clinton and Mr Kim engaged in "sincere and exhaustive discussions" on a range of issues.

Yeah, WHATEVER. Notice how Bill Clinton negates the North Korean propaganda photo-op event by showing NO EMOTION. Mister Charisma is NOT SMILING; he is stiff as a board, lifeless - this is not by accident, he has been coached. His body language says: "None of this counts, nothing of what you see or hear means anything. My heart is not in this. There is no meaning to my words. I am just going through the motions. There is no recognition of the people with whom I am speaking (the North Koreans). I give you nothing, and you give me my people." - S.L.


South Koreans have been demanding the release of the two women. Here they burn a defaced North Korean flag during a rally - where can I get a spray can that squirts out flames like that?

Here at STORMBRINGER we NEVER lost hope & faith . . . Welcome Home Laura Ling & Euna Lee ! ! !
