GLOVEBOXES, ADULT TEETHING AND THE SOLUTION FOR THE MIDDLE EAST
Okay, we'll start in reverse order . . . the most intelligent solution for the Current Crisis in the Middle East, that I have heard so far . . . I was half-asleep, so I don't know who said it but I think it was someone that John Gibson was interviewing for his show, The Big Story w/John Gibson. I have to say, that his solution was on my list of possible solutions to "the Current Crisis in the Middle East" here forth known as {CCME}>

That is what many people that I have talked to about CCME or read in their blogs . . . it's been going on for thousands of years and they will never learn tolerance in the Middle East, so that they CAN all get along . . . but this man (I do know that it was a male voice speaking) put it so simply that it sounded eloquent and made sense of certain issues I have been wrestling with in the past few weeks. All the different views and all the positions that people are taking don't make any difference. Sending Condi to Israel, the UN stating "their" position, an Israeli ground invasion, diplomacy . . . none of it makes any difference because there is no solution to CCME.
Personally, I think that Israelis have been persecuted for much too long and that it is time for them to stand up for themselves, with or without our help. Iran just as much stated that they want to "wipe" Israel and the US "off the map". Generally, most people who have been paying attention to what has transpired over the past few months don't know that the United States was included in that "wipe off the map" statement too. Who created Hezbollah? Who is defying UN orders about their nuclear development? Who sends arms and missiles to Hezbollah? Who supports Hezbollah with money? If you don't know the answer, then go and read the paper. Don't watch the news, read the paper. Then, watch the news . . . .
This has nothing to do with Lebanon other than they allow Hezbollah to operate within their borders . . . borders that are adjacent to Israel . . .
Adult teething . . . boy, it SUCKS. However, it allows me to be much more sympathetic to Charleigh-Anne's mood swings arising from her teething pain. Here I am, 35 going on 36 and I am cutting a tooth. It motherfuckinghurts like a sonofabitch right now. I have had one wisdom tooth cut out but that was almost 10 years ago. I thought I was going to be one of those lucky ones. I thought wrong. At least this time (so far!!!) it has not compacted and caused the insane pain that I had with the first one. This is just irritating. I get food stuck between it and my last molar, sometimes I bite my tongue, lots of the time it irritates the inside of my cheek and sometimes, it just throbs . . . I am now to the point that I have to watch what I eat and how I chew so that I don't bite my cheek or tongue. Right now, just about everything irritates it but that happened a couple of weeks ago and then the inflammation started and covered the sharp parts of the tooth for awhile before returning to this cycle with it. God I hope my medical insurance covers extractions while under anesthesia. I couldn't do it any other way and if this becomes a major problem, I may have major problems getting it cut out.
Glove boxes. Why do we still call them gloveboxes?? Do you put your gloves in this "glovebox" place?? I couldn't fit a pair of gloves in my "glovebox". I suppose back in the day, when peeps didn't have windshields and wore goggles and driving suits and all that shit, they came up with the "glovebox" for the gloves to go in. I am sure that they were small rectangular boxes installed in the dash, for whose sole purpose was to house the gloves. A lot of things have changed since then, what with the need for insurance, registrations, owner's manuals, packets of ketchup, spare napkins for that "back road pee", the occasional screwdriver or other tool . . . maybe a flashlight, receipts for work done on said vehicle, tax statements (we have to pay our property tax to get our registration renewed), a few Pokemon cards, matches, headphones that I found in my car . . . . OH! wait a minute, that's my vehicle's "glovebox". I do sometimes have a pair of gloves in there . . . those ones that look like little kids gloves and then stretch to fit your hand . . . but they usually end up on the seat or in my coat pocket. What do YOU have in YOUR "glovebox"???

I think my big issue with Iran and the one that is keeping me from being mellow is this:
Asshole president was involved in the Tehran Embassy thing.
I'm not a fan of Zionism and the whole creation of Israel thing leaves me wondering who thought it would be a good idea to evict one set of people to give homes to another set. I see eminent domain issues here with the expressway they're building and it makes people want to kill. I can only imagine it when religions that look at each other as worthless pieces of crap do it.
Did these people think in post WW2 times that it wouldn't come to this. Wasn't the Israeli war of Ind., Yom Kippur, the 6 Day war and so many other incidents a sign of something (now I sound like Bill Engvall).
This situation wouldn't have been if Bush would have stood up to the Dumb-o-crats about Iraq, which would have allowed a solution to exist (where PC beaurocracy fails us day in and day out), dealt with north korea, and not allowed Kofi fuckwit Annan to have any influence in the Iranian nukes discussions.
Then, these freaks would have been content to just hate and we wouldn't be in a teetering on the edge position like we are.
Instead, we have Syria and Iran that need dealt with (Laos and Cambodia anyone), we have an opposition force at home with way too much media credibility that stifles our efforts in Iraq for it's own gain, and we have North Korea that just needs to wake up and find their leader not breathing.
Yes, there is no solution, but alas, there's a better working situation than the 1 we got.
