Hard News: This time it's Syria, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
I found this an interesting read...
...ta for that
adds up better than the official stories...Please tell me this is not just some piece of political skulduggery.
While not saying anything out loud, it does smack of Putin's usual set up publicity ops (except he kept his shirt on this time) - perhaps a nice piece of 'political theatre' staged by US and Russia to keep the 'peeps' scared, but on side...

Be the change…
That she’s had the drive and desire to get this far to me indicates that she’s unlikely to be satisfied by a quiet life just making music for her friends.
And that even if this is just a flash in the USA she has quite a future.…and on that note I give you Janis Eddy Fink
Janis Ian – at seventeenJanis Ian – ’At Seventeen’ – at twenty-five…
One is reassured by the fine local examples of Bic Runga and Hayley Westenra, that the harsh environment is survivable, they have kept on song, and on track admirably…and lest we forget our own free-range…:

de devil is in de tail…
“You know all those TV ads where I said ‘It’s Not Okay’? Well ….”
…Shane Jones (the Master of Mixed Meta-force) has alerted me to this one thing you can do with bungee cord or docking rings!
I'm going to tie a bungee cord around the sensitive spot, and then I'm going to get those callipers and cut them. And then the trader from Wall Street and then the mercenary of capitalism can suffer what he deserves - a dead cat bounce.

Now if you are still worried about 'crutching' here are some real dags, real kiwis, real kiwi music, the excellent Country Calendar Daggy and the Dickheads mini-doco - enjoy

A gamine enigma, I imagine…
Quod semper, natural homunculi exert avuncular avidity…
a continuum that stretches, with interest, from agreeable, engaging and on thru engrossing to beyond the pale…
