The diving was pretty impressive, especially considering it was head-first. There was no lifeguard on duty, I guess. That greenish color must be due to a lack of pool maintanence ever since we left.
Oh, one more thing about that pool party. As a Foreign Service Officer pointed out, because the Libyans were jumping off a roof - a totally unsafe practice which American safety regulations would never allow - we have the moral high ground over them.
TSB: Yes,thanks for pointing out the moral high ground. I think it's comical that the Co-Chairs of the 911 commission are calling for the declassification of their report in 2014. (sounds like something the Saudi's weren't happy with).
And yesterday when a C-Span caller asked if we hadn't played a big role in the Ukraine mess the guest was briefly at a loss for the correct words:"An absolutely ridiculous conspiracy theory!" That was good enough for me so I will be voting a straight NATO ticket this time and we are already setting up a neighborhood watch for ISIS sympathizers. gwb
The kiteboarding is obviously a pitch for the admiration of Joe Sixpack. It's well known that The Common Man is impressed by the watersports of the rich. Kayaking, etc., gives Kerry big Regular Guy points.
TSB: Now with the benefit of so much hindsight in how the US develops foreign policy some skepticism has crept in to try to prevent Europe from going up in flames. It makes you wonder why Obama seems to have never had any control over the hawks. gwb http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-09-01/ex-nsa-director-us-intelligence-veterans-write-open-letter-merkel-avoid-all-out-ukra
President Hollande: France suspends plans to deliver warship to Russia amid Ukraine tensions
(Because US has offered to lease the two ships but half the construction will have to be torn up because it was done by the Russians. It will be fun to go visit these hulks in Bremerton after we pay Billions for them.)
TSB: I'm no naval expert but isn't that bad luck to be messing around with a warship after you've already named it? What say we call it the USS Popeye? gwb
TSB: I have an update on the 'missing' Libyan Airliners. I think they are probably still at the airport and none of those guys standing on them look like Mohammed Atta. I can't reveal the source on this because I dreamed it up. gwb
