Ben Had, have no idea about internal situation in Iran and Pahlavi's prospects, these authoritarian systems are hard to handicap as to survival. Assad regime's chances are just as hard to assess. But it's held on through perilous times before. But trouble for Iran in Syria means less trouble for Israel in Lebanon, over time. I wouldn't bet on any regimes falling, but *weakening* in terms of their trouble-making potential, sure. Which is good.

My wife and I watched Frosty the Snowman the other day. I was kind of surprised to see it was a Rankin/Bass production, since so much of their stuff at the time was stop-motion. Wonder why they stuck with traditional animation for Frosty.

Which at this point are mercenaries hired and paid for by the U.N. to police member states. The formula for peacekeeping troops is that the nation offering them received payment as if they were first-world (i.e. US) troops, and the nation then pockets the money, paying them their normal pay minus the usual graft and corruption. This usually results in the troops seeking alternative compensation via looking, extortion and human trafficking. Because they come from high-corruption societies, the military discipline is weak. But some member countries have some tough hombres and can crack heads together at need. Also, looking a major warlord's house is nice compensation. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at November 29, 2024 08:03 PM (olroh) --- Brooks' biggest weakness was stretching the joke too far. He'd drag out the pacing because he was going for extra laughs and a lot of times it didn't work. Nothing like the Zucker-Abrams-Zucker approach where you have some calm periods, make a set-up and then hammer the audience with non-stop gags until they're gasping for breath, weeping with laughter. There are moments like that in Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, which is why they are his best work. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at November 29, 2024 08:05 PM (ZOv7s) 180

It is semi-autobiographical, and you might find the experience of a family put under the pressure of a short-notice deployment interesting. Hopefully such things are safely in the past.

Franpsycho, IDF has acknowledged two strikes on Hezb positions/personnel who were deemed in violation (one rocket launcher being readied, another pair entering a known Hezb ordnance bldg, something like that). Hadn't heard anything about Beirut.
Beirut's been packed to the gills with Syrian refugees (actual refugees, for Americans who have had the concept and meaning eviscerated in the last 4 years) for years. Yet I'd guess more are on the way. Meanwhile, for its own reasons (Hezb re-supply routes), Israel's been smoking Leb/Syr border crossings for a while.

Do you think the rabies shot had anything to do with it?
Posted by: Sebastian Melmoth at November 29, 2024 09:27 PM (9mIGc) No. I don't think so. I figured that would have caused a reaction sooner. I'll find out when I see the vet. Posted by: Diogenes at November 29, 2024 09:41 PM (W/lyH) 493

The comorant.
Posted by: Ben Had at November 29, 2024 09:42 PM (gGMRM) A poem by Christopher Isherwood: The Common Cormorant or shag Lays eggs inside a paper bag. The reason you will see no doubt It is to keep the lightning out. But what these unobservant birds Have never noticed is that herds Of wandering bears may come with buns And steal the bags to hold the crumbs.

>>>Well, yeah. If they had tried it while DJT was still sitting President, they'd have had a dozen Fed agencies up their ass with chainsaws.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon --- DJT has a long memory and banks have heaped multiple penalties upon him and his family; plus injury they've done to small businesses across the nation.

'DJT has a long memory and banks have heaped multiple penalties upon him and his family;' I've said this before but banks are one of the most federally regulated activities. These de-banking turds are surely in violation of a lot of laws and regulations. You could create job security for a lot of lawyers and accountants if you went after every facet of these punks' lives. And no one who wasn't a democrat would give a shit.

Is this current cease fire going to last more than 72 hours?? Posted by: Soothsayer at November 29, 2024 09:48 PM (qAL9z) Well, it appears that the IDF is policing the cease fire, which is a new twist. Posted by: Kindltot+ (Now Corvid Safe!) at November 29, 2024 09:52 PM (D7oie) 513
With Syria's Junior Assad now playing a very sticky wicket, I wonder if that opens a door for Israel to offer him some help if he plays ball with Israel?

Posted by: Dr. Claw at November 29, 2024 09:52 PM (3wi/L) You can pretty much bet that the debanking was done at the insistence of one of the regulating agencies, and I would bet $100 that more than one of the non-crypto, non-financial tech bans came from Elizabeth Warren Posted by: Kindltot+ (Now Corvid Safe!) at November 29, 2024 09:55 PM (D7oie) 517
