#1 Well, I certainly hope the FBI took the opportunity to get all those mutts in Wolf's office on camera. If they turn up in Islamabad handing suitcases of cash to the ISI/Taliban, we'll pretty much know they're card-carrying terrorists.

#2 McKinney could not be reached for comment.

Sure enough, her number at the House Office Building has been disconnected!

#3 No one in the meeting asked why did you raid the Safa Group?" Saffuri said. "We werenât there to question the raids, but the methods by which they were conducted."

Bravo, clap, clap clap! I nominate this to the "Meaning Of Is" award.

#4 Hmmm. I want a meeting with Snow, too. I wanna talk about this defacto weak-dollar policy. It's playing havoc with the exchange rate of my US$ to Thai baht. I guess I can just ring him up and get an appointment, right? Safa guys did, so...

Fred, do we have a Hall of Shame somewhere in Rantburg? Might need one to keep track of everyone who's taking contributions - and Cabinet members giving appointments to SIGs like this - I don't care WHAT their agenda is. These people are not due such access, unless every America citizen is afforded the same. This stinks.

#5 .com Why not short the $ to the extend necessary to safeguard yourself?

#6 Ship - to a degree, I have. Saw the trend and burned a bunch of bucks at once into baht. I'll be back in LA for New Years. I might come back here cuz a guy is making noises about me starting an Internet biz with him. Lawyer's looking at it now. If good, I'll come back at the end of Jan. If not, then I'll go to Vegas, buy a car with Nevada registration, then figure out where to live and start a biz in Nevada. Hey, shit happens, eh?

#7 I'll come back at the end of Jan. If not, then I'll go to Vegas, buy a car

You strike me as someone who needs something in the way of a 1973 Impala Convertible.

#8 Make that a 56, 57, or 63 2-door with a 327 and we're talking turkey! My 2 true loves, however, were the 67 GTO 389 4spd stick (You need to own Exxon stock with that triple deuce - it has a sucking sound almost as loud as the flight of US companies to Mexico after the signing of NAFTA - and that's saying something!) and the 68 Mustang California Special Coupe with Shelby's HP289 / 4spd stick / flared fenders with Mickey Thompsons. I severed 2 drive shafts at the differential in the 'Stang - the "grip" was there, man. I've kicked myself a thousand times for not hanging onto one of these two cars - or both! Sigh.

If we're talking wet dream, shit - that's easy: King Cobra Roadster! What was it? 660 BHP on pump gas? Break your damned neck in the whiplash if you dumped it at 5500 - and the clutch and drive-shaft survived! Old Carrol Shelby sure knew how to build a high-torque tire-rippin go-fast muscle car! I get stoked just remembering those days...
