I thought this could be a new thread for today. BurbankKarl's thread did well yesterday.
I'm telling you Baghdad Bob has found a new job!
IDF Special forces are already in Lebanon...I have no doubt..
My eyes are getting blurry, I think I'm going to bed. I have to get some stuff done tomorrow, but will check for the new thread....
night AC...sweet dreams
This isn't perfect, but take a look at what the government is comprised of right now. (after Talif)
My guess would be there would be about 27 Hezbollah members in the Parliament. But they have all the arms so they have the power.

Mrs S telling me that the Sofalas will call tomorrow am...doesn't think he'll call tonight..
Nope, but I never had any doubt that the changes there were appearance only changes for the DUmb who can be easily DUped. "Former" KGB....yea, right! I'll bet he ran the show and still has secret dossiers on all his politcal rivals just like the Clintons did (Slick went to "study" in Moscow, didn't he?).
Good night! Think I finish Trading Spaces (that's as "deep" as I can think, now)
I'll bet we've already got boots on the ground over there!
Bet she's right. Remember, he's on an adventure! Don't you just love the way the young ones think!
Few things I miss about California, but oh Newport had the best Resturants around.. Did you ever eat at Sids Blue Beat? I think it's gone now, but oh did he have the best steaks and garlic bread around.. I know the Crab Shack is still there...
yup...he's having a grand old time..
probably...wouldn't be surprised if we have boots on the ground in Israel too...
Okay off to bed for real this time -- see you all tomorrow...
Mrs s thinks that he'll call tomorrow am...doesn't think that he'll call tonight, dang it..
