…History takes strange turns. This is a file photo from July 2009 of Gadhafi and Obama. Now, Gadhafi is responding to military air strikes over his nation and promising a long war, while he says he is fighting ‘new Nazis’.. 

I often thought that these images of world leaders with each other can be like looking at a prom photo 20 years later.. “I really went with her/him!?” .. The image can be shocking of who we once were featured with.

And I’m sure these kinds of images can haunt Obama. Just as Bush was haunted by hand-holding snapshots of Saudi officials. Not that the Saudis are responsible for world chaos…….Oh wait.. Bahrain. 

Not bad for a small town in the Coal Region. 

The Saint Patrick’s Day parade yesterday in Girardville, PA, got over 20,000 people. And that was without an appearance from Bill Clinton.

There was a large appearance however of untidy spandex pants, green buttons that blinked, and a leftover sea of aluminum cans of beer lining the streets.

But that’s what day afters are for.

"Operation Odessey Dawn" ??

It sounds like an 80s prime time drama.. Who shot JR? Who bombed Gadhafi.. The name just doesn’t have the ‘oomph’ that past operations have had. At least for me. Maybe it’s just the supermoon.

Eight years since Iraq began..

A supermoon over earth. And a brand new war… 

The stars must have aligned the right way…

MARCH 19, 2011
OBAMA: ‘Today we are part of a broad coalition. We are answering the calls of a threatened people. And we are acting in the interests of the United States and the world’…

MARCH 19, 2003
BUSH: ‘American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger…

Very interesting quotes featured by Matt Drudge on the Drudge Report today

Irony?

Today is also the 8th anniversary of the war beginning in Iraq.. and now we’re on the third war …

One more war, because two just wasn't enough..

A Saturday sea of green in a cold Girardville, PA

First time on earth for Saint Patrick’s day. A.M. is parade ready

For those having a parade today.. have a good one

And if you should find yourself with the misfortune of being in Schuylkill County, head to Girardville, the home of some good Molly Maguires history, which will be having quite a large parade at noon.

There has been a week of heartache and tragedy.. The most recent and perhaps saddest example of the horrors that took place in Japan since the massive quake and tsunami come from a school in Japan, where 30 children wait silently for their parents to pick them up.. The children wait at the Kama Elementary School.. According to reporting from the UK DAILY MAIL:

"They sit quietly in the corner of a third-floor classroom where they have waited each day since the tsunami swept into the town of Ishinomaki for their parents to collect them. So far, no one has come and few at the school now believe they will.


Teachers think that some of the boys and girls, aged between eight and 12, know their fathers and mothers are among the missing and will never again turn up at the gates of the school on the eastern outskirts of the town, but they are saying nothing.

nstead, they wait patiently reading books or playing card games watched over by relatives and teachers, who prevent anyone from speaking to them.
Officials fear that even the sound of the door sliding back might raise false hope that a parent has come to collect them. Their silence is in marked contrast to other children playing in the corridors of the four-storey building, whose parents survived due to a complete fluke.

There have been some sad stories from the nation, and most likely will be more as the cleanup kicks in and nuclear annihilation still threatens the general population, but the story of the kids at school, waiting for patiently for the parents they love to come, is one of the hardest hitting of the entire natural disaster.
