Sorry, been AWOL....from Rico
Sorry to some of you, for I have been AWOL for a few days and am woefully 'behind' answering some e-mails/communications as a result.
While my Pappy often liked to say "No excuses" here is mine, and it's not a bad one...but YOU decide.
[Backstory: When I 'discovered' this backwater in NC where the Snow Bird, Tusquittee, Blue Ridge, and Appalachian mountain chains intersect I half-expected to run into Opey, Andy, and Aunt Bea. What I did NOT expect to find was a homeless problem. In the course of getting to know some of the directors of the Cherokee County homeless shelter some years back, I learned it was the ONLY such shelter between Atlanta, GA and Knoxville, KY, and Chattanooga, TN and Asheville, NC. I've been an annual supporter of their effort ever since.]
Through a local friend (from Florida) I recently heard about this 'new' shelter in neighboring Clay County being run by a small group and headed by a Key West, FL 'refugee' a.k.a. a fellow-Floridian. It specializes in homeless women, and women with children. Their brochure is attached.
(No jokes about the shtik Sam Kinison had about establishing "home for interesting women" guys! This is a legitimate operation.)
Take away: I have been helping their annual fund-raising effort, as I think it a very worthy cause.
In a week or two I'll have more free time, and can return to the pursuit of smoking my own babyback ribs, and maybe 'experimenting' with smoking some thick-cut bacon I had the butcher slice for me....put another way, useless idleness a.k.a. being retired.

"New?' No, redux..............from Rico
If you remember the Shah of Iran, Jimmy Carter (who threw him under the bus) and have the vaguest clue that what replaced the Shah (a radical Islamic state) has not been exactly an improvement, then this may ring a bell for you.
- History rhyming, not repeating.
A 'new' Libya post-Col. Qadaffi-duck regime will be 'imposing' radical Islamic law there. And it was our very own devout Muslim and illegal alien, Barry Obama (nee' Soetoro) that helped make it happen. Barry is one HAPPY Muslim lad today!
- And the world is a less-safe, and less-happy place for it.
Fookin' primitive stone-age savages!
- Damned Muzzies.
We will 'pay' in unimaginable ways for this in future.
- Gee, thanks!
Out of Iraq: Neocons Shaking in Their Boots..............by Dan Friedman
President Obama’s decision to leave Iraq by the end of the year, leaving only a “strong diplomatic presence” behind, has got many people with skin in the game breaking a sweat. Chief among them is the cadre of priapic liberty-lovers who laid down the rationale Bush used to prosecute his war, even after he discovered there were no WMDs in Iraq. Now their credibility and paychecks are on the line. And they could lose both, if the skeptics who say a made–in-America democracy can never take hold in the Arab Muslim world turn out to be right. A guy named Max Boot at CFR is one of the merry band of “foreign policy experts” who cheered Bush on, and it was only a few hours after Obama’s announcement before Boot rose to cover his butt and leave Obama holding the bag. Next up, keep an eye out to see how Boot & Co. explain away this Reuters report: Afghanistan to back Pakistan if wars with U.S.: Karzai.

Hot Britney Spears Video 'Criminal'
Everybody's calling it a "steamy" sex scene with Britney's boyfriend, Jason Trawick.
And she brandishes a gun in the "Bonnie and Clyde" scene at the clip, filmed in the same London boroughs as the anarchist riots earlier this year. Some folks are up in arms about it.
See: "VIDEO: Britney Spears 'Criminal'."
Jews and the Occupy Wall Street Movement
See, "Occupy Wall Street and the Jews":
The key thing about the rash of anti-Semitism we've seen out of Occupy Wall Street is not that it's shocking, but so mainstream. I'm not shocked at all by it. I write about this stuff all the time. One reason progressives work so hard to shut me down and shut down this blog is because I continually and relentless shine a light of moral approbation on their Jew-hatred. Not enough people do this, in my opinion. People must think that anti-Semitism lingers only in the extreme fringes of the aging millenarian right-wing, the last gasp of a few Nazis. But it's not that. As I've noted numerous times, Jew-hatred is the premiere organizing position of today's progressive-left movement. And while some remind us not to worry too much about Israel, say, since it's more vibrant and economically stronger than its regional enemies, I think there's never a good time be complacent about these things, especially since Jew-hatred seems to gain more mainstream acceptance by the day. The events of the last two months in New York and around the country have shown what it's like when...The video above is the trailer for "Unmasked: Judeophobia and the Threat to Civilization."

Failed Female Crotch Bomber Wants to Try Again
Failed Arab Suicide Bomber Wafa al Bis tried to blow herself up but the detonator she had in her underwear malfunctioned.
Bis yesterday maintained that the six years she spent in an Israeli prison
cell had left her with no regrets other than her failure to kill herself and her captors.
