Last night was absolutely chaotic with the wind, the rain and as things got more chaotic I heard one of my chairs had been blown off the patio so I went out, bought them inside along with the table. The garden shed door has broken open with all the wind with the latch bring broken in the process so what I did instead of trying to fix it during a storm I simply put a pot plant in front of the door so that it would stop opening and closing. At the moment there is still some frequent showers and warning of heavy showers still so we may see more showers later on this evening but given how crazy the weather has been I guess it is a matter of anything could happen.

There are reports that Cuba is closed to collapse due to the blockade and now there is talk about regime change in Iran which makes me wonder where North Korea is in the grand scheme of things. One thing to keep in mind is that there have been discussions regarding the neoconservative grand plan that go all the way back to the George W Bush years. Is this the last hurrah of neoconservatives who see this as their last opportunity to carry out their grand vision before the next generation comes through to replace them who are less interested in the sort of grand geopolitical engineering that the neoconservatives are interested in conducting?

Oh, and while I’m rounding out this blog post, could people on line please stop saying “we were wrong…” – who is this ‘we’ that you’re referring to? Stop trying to either disassociate yourself from past things you have said or try to spread the blame around as thinly and widely as possible to avoid taking responsibility. If you’ve made a dumb prediction then own it because I’m more than happy to own the dopey predictions I make than turn out to be wrong.
