Or a John Galt.

Here's what the State Dept. had to say about it today:

QUESTION: A Pakistani court has declared the nuclear scientist A.Q. Khan to be free after five years of house arrest. I wonder – and as you’ll recall, he was convicted after having confessed to selling nuclear technology to a number of countries, including Iran, North Korea, and Libya, and immediately pardoned but placed under house arrest.

One, what is your reaction to the court’s decision to free the man who, I think, is regarded as the most successful nuclear proliferator in the world? And second, I believe the United States had repeatedly sought, but had been unsuccessful, in interviewing Mr. Khan about his activities. Does his newfound freedom open up the possibility of your talking to him about his proliferation activities?

MR. DUGUID: Well, I won’t get ahead of where we are in what we know about the situation. We have seen that Mr. Khan’s defense lawyer has announced a court decision, and that this announcement came late on a Friday in Islamabad which, of course, is the Sabbath. And there has been no government confirmation of this decision that I’m aware of, and I was in touch with our Embassy earlier.

But on the general principle of A.Q. Khan and his status, let me say that, in our view, it would be unfortunate if the court released him. We believe A.Q. Khan remains a serious proliferation risk. The proliferation support that Khan and his associates provided to Iran and North Korea has had a harmful impact on the international – on international security, and will for years to come.

QUESTION: Have you made – is there more?

MR. DUGUID: No.

QUESTION: Have you made that point to the Pakistanis?

MR. DUGUID: The Pakistanis are well aware of our position on this. This is not a new position.

QUESTION: Well, no --

MR. DUGUID: They are – they know that this is our position.

QUESTION: But have they been told subsequent to the lawyer’s announcement?

MR. DUGUID: We’re trying to confirm what the court has decided and said. But I have said, if it is accurate, this is the U.S. position and it will remain the U.S. position.

QUESTION: Were you anticipating A.Q. Khan’s release, because sanctions were announced here and in the State Department a few weeks ago, and ones particularly targeting A.Q. Khan?

MR. DUGUID: The sanctions were announced to target the A.Q. Khan network, which we are actively pursuing and we are trying to roll up. And the United States and its international partners have done a good job in tracking down this network. That should have no effect or influence on whether or not Mr. Khan is let out of his current status of detention.

QUESTION: Still on that subject. You said that you’re trying to confirm what his status is, what the court decision is.

MR. DUGUID: Correct.

QUESTION: Have you asked the government there for clarification --

MR. DUGUID: The gov --

QUESTION: -- or are you going through other channels?

MR. DUGUID: To be – the government is – it’s Sabbath in Islamabad right now. The government is, if you will, not in session. So we have tried to reach those people that we know can inform us of the decision, haven’t had a response as I came into this room. We may get it.

QUESTION: So right now, you’re just trying to clarify the situation.

MR. DUGUID: Yeah.

QUESTION: But if he is released, you think it’s a bad thing?

MR. DUGUID: If he is released, we think it would be extremely regrettable. This man remains a serious proliferation risk.

QUESTION: Let me congratulate you, Gordon. On your first appearance before the podium, you have answered the first hypothetical question that this building has ever, ever answered.

MR. DUGUID: I answered it hypothetically: I said “if.” (Laughter.) So the subjunctive remains. (Laughter.)

Carter must be feeling mighty happy now that O is on the fast track trying to win the Worst POTUS award so quickly.

We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

“I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate, And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you - not financially to help him - we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

/Forsaking Taiwan?

I feel like I'm watching kids at the playground talking like immature punks.

In fact, Adm. Dennis Blair regards Taiwan much like the Chinese Communists regard it — as a nuisance. His exact words are more colorful. At a late 1999 Capitol Hill meeting, Blair told staffers that Taiwan had become "the turd in the punch bowl" of U.S.-Chinese relations, as Bill Gertz reported in his book "The China Threat."
...
Blair, as U.S. Pacific Command chief, had made frequent visits to Beijing to meet with top Chinese military leaders as part of Clinton's "engagement" policy with Beijing. And just two years ago, he wrote that "China is on a positive trajectory," despite amassing hundreds of missiles across the strait from Taiwan.

He also argued that "the U.S. should offer to involve China in bilateral and multilateral military operations for the common good."

Astonishingly, none of this was raised in an hours-long hearing on Blair's nomination as President Obama's national intelligence director, a post that will oversee a budget of nearly $50 billion across 16 intelligence agencies. In fact, Taiwan never once came up, while China was mentioned just twice, and only in passing.

Informality Excess: Obama Replacing 'Hail to the Chief' With Sting's 'Desert Rose'?

On Day One of his presidency, everywhere Mr. Obama went they played "Hail to the Chief" for him – but not since. In fact the U.S. Marine Band's duties at the White House over the last 10 days appear to have been dramatically downsized.

Instead of the usual contingent of trumpets, tubas and drums, a single piano player now provides musical interludes before and after the president's appearance.

And the tunes have little connection to the military marching music of John Phillips Souza [sic] that is the usual accompaniment to presidential appearances. These days the pianist's repertoire includes Cole Porter's "Night and Day" and Sting’s "Desert Rose."

"He's not a 'Pomp and Circumstance' kind of guy," says press secretary Robert Gibbs of the new president.

Yes. But the fear will come back. And you'll also have a headache.

No, it doesn't make the fear go away, but makes it more tolerable or at least numbs you to the inevitable.

Two terror attacks reported for today.
Guess where both took place?

2009.02.05 (Swat, Pakistan) - Religious extremists barge into a home, kill three women and kidnap three survivors.
2009.02.05 (Punjab, Pakistan) - A suicide bomber at a rival religious procession sends more than 30 innocent souls to Allah.

[Link: www.thereligionofpeace.com...]

I take it "survivors" in this case means men (muslim men).

Do you ever get the feeling that the world is spinning out of control and it's like you're watching a horror movie just as the cute girl is about to open a forbidding door and you scream "Don't go in there!". But she opens it anyway and out jumps the psycho with the knife.

That's what it feels like to me the past few months. Only this time there is no driven detective to catch the killer. He just keeps coming and coming and coming.

I guess the world has been spinning out of control for some time but here in America we've managed to stave it off for a while. But with this recent election it tells me the voting majority is comprised of central casting's cute girls and randy boys... left alone...in a cabin in the middle of the woods... with a killer lurking...DON'T GO IN THERE!

We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

“I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate, And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you - not financially to help him - we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

And Obama's playing the part of the nerd that the jocks are going to strip down to his underwear, put him upside-down in a garbage can, and wheel him out in front og the girls locker room.

Me and another kid got detention for pulling that when I was in 7th grade.
When the teacher left the room, we got into a fist fight.

Didn't help.
By the time I got out of high school, I owed them over 100 hours of detention.
