Al Kelly Is Alive and Well, and He's Working For NATO..............by Dan Friedman
From a story in WaPo today covering Western uncertainty about intervening in Libya:
"If there's a debate, it's over to what extent we should now decide how we're going to make a decision, if, in fact, we're going to decide," said a NATO official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive issue.

HOPE, Ben F & Bill G..............from Rico
I doubt anyone in the world, and certainly no one in Obama's mis-Administration knows more about bonds than PIMCO's Bill Gross. He's a very smart man.
- He created a chart that shows who is actually buying government debt today (a.k.a. 'bonds';read: Wimpy-esque promises to pay you back someday in exchange for your money today]. When the 30% of foreign purchasers say "no more, no mas" the wheels will come off the wagon.
HOPE
- I know that many are still high on the hopium dished out so liberally by our Ministry of Truth, the Communist (D) Party, et al....but Ben Franklin, also a very smart man had this to say about HOPE:
"He that lives upon hope dies farting."
