Raqqa, Syria
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, also known as ISIS, announced today that he would be disbanding all forces and returning all land to Syria and Iraq. The move was prompted by the ongoing Climate Conference in Paris.
"This is one thing we could not have anticipated," Mr. al-Baghdadi said in prepared remarks. "When we see the world coming together like this on such a dangerous subject as Global Climate Change, we realize that our Caliphate will never survive. It's only a matter of time before Climate Change is no more and the world's attention turns to us. At that point, we will have no chance. For the sake of the men, women, and children who have supported us, I can not continue a doomed campaign."
An emotional al-Baghdadi did not take any questions.
Sources close to al-Baghdadi who spoke on the condition of anonymity told us that it was becoming more and more difficult to recruit new fighters. "Even our existing people are extremely demoralized," one said. "The words of Donald Trump himself can not overcome our dispair."
According to their press release, surrender is total and immediate. Fighters are being paid and sent home by division. Any remaining money will be put into a fund to resettle Christians and Yazidis who have been displaced by the war.
"We thought the world was fragmented," one strategist was overheard saying to himself. "Who knew it could come together like this? This is a stinging rebuke."
So far there has been no comment from Damascus, Baghdad, Moscow, or Washington. One source inside the Kremlin said, "We are waiting to see if there will be any follow-up action. We want to make sure this is real before we decide on our next steps."
No beak, no feathers.
You expect reasonable taxonomy in a dream?
hmm... you've just described an EWACS system for all of bunnydom.
Bunnies everywhere rejoice.
Ahhhh! Grilled Jackalope! A road side favorite!
Cats decide to stay indoors.
Nope. Just trying to figger it out.

LOL,
Definitely “Grilled”. :D
I’ll try to dream it again. The bar was pretty nice - had a Mexican band. My dad was there.
EWACS for Bunnies.....
The perfect compliment to the AAA systems I’ve been advocating for Mice for years!
Two legs, No wings. Beak. Hairy feathers. Kiwi.
A buff is enough...
They’re an invasive species.
Also the second-smallest deer in the world, according to a child who is full of random but useless facts.
Was thinking Klipspringer, but apparently it’s Pudu.
Random fact are never useless. They come in handy for Crosswords and Pub Quiz night. :)
Vlad and Pat work on the crossword in the Wall Street Journal on weekends. They don’t know a lot of pop-culture answers, though, especially those that would be familiar to people my age.
Pop culture and the doings of Hollyweird may be sufficient for idle amusements.
But for working amusements, obscure references, foreign languages, and historical tidbits are de rigueur.
Their obscure references are very contemporary, too.
Jamie, my hairdresser, was going to cut my hair today, but she’s been diagnosed with lupus (yesterday) and is in a funk. I hope she feels better before I have to get someone else to cut my hair once.
They have a lot of catching up to do. I hope they won’t be discouraged.
In the end, being a master of trivia is a very unheralded accomplishment anyway. They should learn to internalize the smug.
Their older siblings and I have.
I googled "lupus and vitamin E", and got this
I bookmarked that to show her when she comes over next. She also has Type 1 diabetes, which I’m sure affects her options for Lupus treatment.
