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."
My brems were on something else, so W00t!!!
I took Kathleen to brush her teeth and broke up a fight over a stuffed lizard, but there it was ...
Some days, I’m really glad there are no minors in my care and custody. Lord only knows what nefarious things I could concoct in the search for diversion...

Why I detest bambis that are not in my freezer..
So, chillruns, I have had everything done today that could be done within legal limits, and the rest of the stuff says I need to quit while I’m ahead.
I agree!
‘Night, all!! :o])
They et your tulips! We just have catz digging up the bulbs.
I hope your tulips (and other blooming things) recover enough to provide beautiful blossoms! <3
Ta, for now!
Enjoy! I will have coffee in the morning, now that we’ve sorted out the coffee maker timer thing. A.M. vs. P.M. does matter ... Tom.
We’ve come close to that here.
Chip 'n Dale had dug up almost every one, shelled them, and ate/carted off the morsels. Mrs. NoC no longer thinks 'munks are cute. She chortles with glee when one of the cats nabs one and toys with it. She even cheers them on until it no longer moves. And the cat leaves the remnants for a human to dispose of. And I hear her call my name..
But back to the saga of bambis and tulips. I'm afraid that bunch will not bloom this year. The flower stalk grows up from the canter of the leaf bunch and if it is damaged/eaten it will not regrow until the next season. Every one of this plot of tulips is eaten down and the flower stalk is gone. Best that can be hoped for is that the leaves regrow sufficiently to feed the bulb so it will survive the winter and come back next year.
I have three clumps of these tulips. This one as you see is badly damaged. The second one had about a third of it's bud stalks eaten off (but not the leaves). I figure that the only reason they didn't munch that bunch down more was because the liquid fence I sprayed on them last week had survived the rains better there.
The third bunch seems untouched. It's also in the back of the house where there is a light on all night. Not that a light ever stopped a bambi for long, but we can see them wander through that portion of the yard. And try to, um, pet them.
With a blunt instrument.
Or a speeding projectile.
The neighbor never hears nuttin...
And I return the favor.. ;-)
Just like you, only prettier ...
Black hat hacker!

That didn't play well in Peoria...
