More emanations from the planet of the insane

Is Baker on drugs?

The Baker Panel has carefully leaked that the Iraq War is going badly for the U.S. (whoa, now there’s a penetrating insight) and proposes a possible solution of inviting Iran and Syria to help stop the fighting.

Would this be the same Iran and Syria the U.S. has been threatening with invasion and war? Golly, I’m sure they’d just leap at the chance to buddy up with a government that wants ‘regime change’ in their countries.

Is Baker is getting senile? Or is the panel just out of clues on what to do? And why did they leak this idiotic ‘plan’?

‘What is this Hollywood clamor to adopt darkies?’

Daily Nation, Kenya

It’s therefore a cocktail of pressures that has turned our continent into a stomping ground for adoption-crazy celebrities - a desire to appear normal; a chance to escape harsh northern winters on U.N.-sponsored junkets; and perhaps some mild interest in black people. But I’ve got to say, it’s getting gooey.

China backs coup against North Korea?

This from The Australian, who says at least one faction in China favors a coup in North Korea like the one against Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu that “replaced him with communist reformers and generals.”

However, the article quotes unnamed sources and there’s been no confirmation from elsewhere. A coup in North Korea would certainly destabilize the region, and that could lead to refugees spilling over the border into China, something they doubtless don’t want.

Maybe China figures, they should engineer a coup before the US tries, then they’d be more in control. Assuming of course that it worked out according to plans, always a dicey assumption with coups.

Or this report could be just be disinformation…

It’s amusing when you realize little bitty North Korea has put itself front and center in the world media, hardly the sign of a loony leader. Crazy like a fox maybe. Hey, they just want protection against U.S. aggression, and given the history of past and present U.S. attacks and threats against them, well, you can hardly blame them for that, nor is it paranoia.
