Tkid3 visited the heartland of the American Right this weekend, Tampa/St. Petersburg/Clearwater. I came back with a feeling you can only get when you are flipped off by a marine in an IROC-Z with Semper Fi on his bumper and a yellow and red/white/blue ribbon sticker that says "Support our Troops."
If you haven't heard, there is new book out called Ghost Wars about the CIA involvement in Afghanistan from 1979 to present. It is a good read, especially the part about how the U.S. shipped over several hundred Stinger Missiles and then lost track of them. We spent the last 15 years trying to buy them all back, and the budget for the buyback dwarves all U.S. gov. humanitarian aid for the region.
Speaking of dwarves (or is it dwarfes), I watched "Under The Rainbow" last week. That's the movie with a back pain pill addiction adled Chevy Chase and a heroin addiction adled Carrie Fisher chasing munchkins around pre-WWII Hollywood. Also look for a young Adam Arkin as the hotel manager. Also, several dwarves allegedly flashed their dwarf boners during filming. It's a MUST SEE!!!
