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."
Shocked,it tell you! :)
Currently in a room full of red cars....about 100, all red.
Can’t have everything.
An "observation" room without a window? How will they observe you?
The Cabin WindowNo matter how rude the cabin,
The window will face to the scene,
Of Winter's fresh carpet of glory,
Or Summer's lush meadow of green.
The window's a part of the inside,
It makes the insidedness right.
For it shows what you're trying to keep away,
The storms, and the bumps in the night!
Like a magnet that has both a north and a south,
Our comforts align the same way.
While you stare at your pleasant warm fire,
The window will show the cold day.
For while your feet are in slippers,
As you snuggle down all of your toes,
The window displays the rain and the wind,
As a lullaby helping you doze.

Oh, be still, my heart!
Well, it’s good to be able to navigate to FR again.
I don’t do TV or phone. Just internet.
I got locked out yesterday afternoon with no DSN entry.
*DNS.
Arghhhhhhhhh!
Gee, perhaps you should change your nic to ‘Arghhhhhhhhh! Gee!’...
That would mess me up on Pirate day.
There is nothing quite as disgusting as opening a container of rice pudding and finding out, with the first bite, that’s it’s tapioca... UNNNNGH!
So, in today’s Calendar installment of “Pearls Before Swine” the pig is telling his girlfriend that they should break up because they have so little in common. He says:
“Suppose we’re lost in a snowstorm. We find shelter, but it is made of cheese. If we eat it, we die from the cold. What should we do?”
“We don’t eat it.”
“Wrong. We eat it and die happy.”
Later he’s telling his friend, “I just can’t be with someone who doesn’t prioritize cheese.”
I see this as a metaphor for the political situation in America today.
The observation room has a door and a window screen to the hall. I don’t have a window I can see outside. That’s what I miss, an outside view.
Doc came in about ten minutes ago. Thank heaven kidneys are functioning and no stones. I’m going home about 1:30. It’s just a bad urinary tract infection which also infected my bladder
Bob , I like your poetry.
*hug*
I used to suffer from those UTIs quite often, but since I’ve been taking 4200 mg of cranberry pills once a day, and some pills for my kidney-bladder health, and of course, the wonderful colloidial silver (antibiotic), I’m seldom bothered with them any more.
My poor neighbor had to go to dialysis three days in a row because he couldn’t breathe...fluid had filled his lungs, so he went to ER. He said they drained 14 liters of water off him in those three days, but that seems a little much. He’s had nothing but health problems for the last year.
I hate hearing that anyone has problems with their kidneys.
I know what it’s like!
Weird.
*tagline*
On of my very favorites of yours.
Nice to revisit it.
I never get tired of Bob’s poetry.
.” UNNNNGH! “
