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."
Phonetics, eh..
That’s also so 19th century. Nowadays we are so much further advanced that all we need do is look at a word and we instantly grasp both its proper pronunciation and its correct definition. I mean, who needs that ‘a as in apple’ stuff anyway.
I mean, it’s a whole language thing.
Or maybe that’s ‘hole’..
..as in where that should be buried.
Yes. As Olde English is related to English. Distantly. ;-)
I was thankful I never had to wade through Beowulf.
Heh. “Who’s to be master, words or you?”
What are you doing up at this hour? Me, I’m too angry to sleep. I have teenagers.
I used to have teenagers. They grew up.
But they still act the same.
Oh, great.
I'm evaluating my options for making their lives miserable, in their best interests of course. I should just blow it off and go to sleep, but I'm too angry.
I'm attempting to finish up the music for tomorrow.
That plus the grandkids are here and in a tent out back (not Outback® which is not out back). They are supposedly quiet but I have been forced to threaten bodily harm, mayhem, and tanned assets if I catch any of them outside the tent again.
Since the angry Grandpa Bear went fuming out the door last (and observed bodies diving for cover into the tent and hurriedly zipping the tent flap) all has been quiet and I have finished the music stuff.
Now I must venture out to see if I can coax the final feline into coming indoors for the night. I'm sure the noise and mayhem from the grandkids has sent her into hiding..
THEN I can go to bed.
The resplendent Vale of Belvoir with Belvoir castle presiding from the hilltop.
See, now this is a perfect example of an arena in which the American continent simply cannot compete. Traverse this country far and wide and you’ll find matchless landscapes ever bit as beautiful as this, but nowhere on this side of the Atlantic do there exist buildings — living, inhabited architectural time machines quite like this. Yes, there are some stately buildings on this continent that are quite old, but nothing like this; the foundations of Belvoir date back to the 13th Century, for crying out loud!
Marvellous!
“The three R’s are so 19th century...”
Well, I hardly dare put it in print, but...what with all of the time I now spend at the keyboard, I confess that my own penmanship has descended to a rather deplorable level. I actually forced myself to abandon my long-held personal handwriting style, and go back to using the standard cursive I learned in grade school just to re-train my brain and fingers how to work together properly with a pen.
“Me, I’m too angry to sleep. I have teenagers.”
Aye, that’s trouble, but ne’er so pernicious as a belligerent senior on the edge of dementia. Independence awakening sets no fire in the spirit to match the inferno it unleashes as it slips away through the curtain of incomprehension.

I suppose that does put it into perspective.
Bonnie.
...and they call the wind Maria
except maybe in southern California, there it’s Wendy
;>)
LOL!
It’s raining a bit here. Also, there’s a high-pitched electrical whine coming from north of us, as if someone’s home alarm went off a day ago and is still trying, or someone’s a/c compressor is in the last throes of Seized Up.
umm... Is Lake Norman in that direction from your abode?
Geiger counter all ready?
