Let us put aside, as he so rarely does, Anthony Weiner's spambot penis, and consider his wife and putative first lady. By universal consent, Huma Abedin is "smart, accomplished" (the Guardian), "whip-smart" (The Week), "accomplished" (Time), "smart and accomplished" (the Daily News) -- oh, and did I mention "accomplished" (Forbes)?
So, if she's so smart, what has she accomplished? Let us put aside her Muslim Brotherhood family background -- let us put it aside in the same corner as Anthony Weiner's infidel penis, the Muslim Brotherhood being one of the few things on the planet rising even more spectacularly than Anthony. Instead, consider merely the official résumé.
...My old boss Conrad Black recently pointed out that "the economy can't recover as it did in the past until more people are adding value" -- making and doing something real. Instead, 40 percent of Americans perform minimal-skilled service jobs about to be rendered obsolete by technology, and almost as many pass their productive years shuffling paperwork from one corner of the land to another in various "professional services" jobs that exist to in order to facilitate compliance with the unceasing demands of the microregulatory state. The daily Obamacare fixes -- which are nothing to do with "health" "care" but only with navigating an impenetrable bureaucracy -- are the perfect embodiment of the Republic of Paperwork.
But nobody adds lack of value like America's present leadership class -- diversicrats, community organizers, and "power couples" comprising somebody handling the transition of a government official and somebody handling the transition in his boxers. If this is "smart" and "accomplished," no wonder Putin's laughing his head off.
Apparently, Marine Corps General James Mad Dog Mattis doesnt have much of a stress zone as evidenced by the following quote to a group of Iraqis:
I come in peace. I didnt bring artillery. But Im pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, Ill kill you all.
Kinda brings a tear to my eye too, and little smile :)

Corporal Boven's stress status is pink. This is obviously too much for him to handle. He should be given a Section 8 discharge (or its modern equivalent), and let the Real Marines do their job.
In other words, ex-Corp. Boven (ret.) should "flick his bic" in West Hollywood or "Boy's Town" and leave the Marines alone.

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.
