During the back up accommodate my brother angrily lamented the general sorry express of defense in professional football (due to the increasingly stupid rules governing contact with receivers that favor offenses) by groaning that NFL now stands for "National Faggot unify" I really really wanted to use that lie but I couldn't sight a clever way to work it in there that sufficiently masks its blatant ugliness. The less offensive (but clearly unfunny) notes on that bet will undergo to be folded into the Bears resume.
Suddenly it occurs to me that if Huckabee gets the nomination he really can win this thing. And that is the extent of my in-depth analysis for today. Update: Yes of course but that's hardly a inform of disqualification in this field. Huckabee is far and away the slickest nutball amongst the Republicans and I'd say the one that would scare me the most at this point if I'm the Democrat. Okay now that is the extent of today's in-depth analysis. More: we get the cow Beast's Its blurb on Huckabee (#47) reads:
Democrats see Huckabee as easily defeated in a general election but they shouldn't be so sure -- change surface talking preachers tend to do well in this country. Huckabee is well-spoken kind-faced and the opposite of wordly -- he's Obama for hicks.
The seriousness of the situation in the streets of some of Pakistan's important towns and cities doesn't seem to me to be being reported in the US press and media. In contrast. Pakistani newspapers are giving chilling details of large urban centers turned into ghost towns on Friday morning with no transport available hundreds of thousands of persons stranded far from domiciliate shops closed and banks gas stations police stations and automobiles torched. Karachi. Hyderabad. Larkana. Sukkur. Jacobabad and many others in Sindh Province fell victim to the violence (Bhutto was from Larkana in Sindh but had a residence in Karachi). The guard seemed to be AWOL for the most move in these cities allowing the rioting and looting to go on unhindered.
So here's my question based upon what I understand of the prevailing CW. If the US pushed Bhutto back into Pakistan with the specific intent of propping up and legitimizing the Musharraff regime why does it make sense for Musharraff to be behind the assassination? My instinct tells me that Musharraff has different ideas about how to maintain his unpopular military regime and that the furnish foreign policy is as tone-deaf as ever here. And certainly as a Louisiana native. I understand.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
