Moved to Seedy Politicians. Not because Professor Ayers is a politician -- he isn't, he's merely a terrorist who moved from the hard jihad of the bomb to the soft jihad of the education department -- but because he is one of the original Friends of Obama. A man's character is shown by the company he keeps, and all that. In the end, this election really is all about Barry.

Because so many fly in the cargo hold on their final trip home -
"But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before usthat from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotionthat we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vainthat this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedomand that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Duh, they go first to ensure that anyone who wants to take their clan on-board early with first class one way cash tickets will not create a numerical superiority vis-a-vis the crew at boarding time.

the United States is Sparta (quote from Dorhn in the article)
So, Bernie, they'll be writing books and making movies about our national heroism 2500 years after the last of us is gone? I'm OK with that.
Politically, I hope this is the start of the Bill and Bernie 2012 road show. I hope they give the same speech in every town between Bangor and Honolulu. 'Course, if they give that speech in Texas or Alabama they won't make it as far as Honolulu.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - A Saudi Foreign Ministry official says Iraqs fugitive vice president has arrived in the kingdom after a four-day official visit to neighboring Qatar.
He's not going home any time soon. Might soon find him in Idi Amin's guest house...
Iraq has issued an arrest warrant for Tariq al-Hashemi on terror charges and called on Qatar to extradite him so he can stand trial in Baghdad. Qatar refused the request.
The Saudi official says al-Hashemi arrived in the country on Wednesday and is meeting with the kingdoms Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter with the press.
Al-Hashemi is the top Sunni official in Iraqs Shia-dominated government. He has been taken refuge in the self-ruled Kurdish region in northern Iraq since the December arrest warrant.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
