Sri Lankan Peace Talks End.

Three Tamil rebels and the Sri Lankan government declared success Sunday after a second round of peace talks ended with several important agreements.

Well put…

Well put…



This is a depressing situation.  The SEC is AWOL, the DOJ has abdicated its responsibilities in favor of security, the courts are in confusion, our President is obsessed with war, our economy is teetering near the edge of oblivion, and our opposition parties are in disarray.  This is not the end of the world, but it does mean that we are in a protracted low point for the US.  We just need to wait this out.  Nothing else to do.  Unfortunately, that may take a decade.   Hopefully less.


In the meantime, enjoy your life (family, friends, work, and play) and vote against every person that represents the status quo.  Eventually, it has got to change. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]
