I really don’t know who it is. I think Tom Marr said he’d be back to fill in tomorrow, though.
I never thought of frogs as cute, but that one IS!
Did any good stuff for Christmas?
Looks like another video similar to the one of the young girl who was killed in the last rebellion in Iran.
This is an old woman holding prayer beads.

Why Does Interpol Need Immunity from American Law? [Andy McCarthy]
You just can’t make up how brazen this crowd is. One week ago, President Obama quietly signed an executive order that makes an international police force immune from the restraints of American law.
Interpol is the shorthand for the International Criminal Police Organization. It was established in 1923 and operates in about 188 countries. By executive order 12425, issued in 1983, President Reagan recognized Interpol as an international organization and gave it some of the privileges and immunities customarily extended to foreign diplomats. Interpol, however, is also an active law-enforcement agency, so critical privileges and immunities (set forth in Section 2(c) of the International Organizations Immunities Act) were withheld. Specifically, Interpol’s property and assets remained subject to search and seizure, and its archived records remained subject to public scrutiny under provisions like the Freedom of Information Act. Being constrained by the Fourth Amendment, FOIA, and other limitations of the Constitution and federal law that protect the liberty and privacy of Americans is what prevents law-enforcement and its controlling government authority from becoming tyrannical.
On Wednesday, however, for no apparent reason, President Obama issued an executive order removing the Reagan limitations. That is, Interpol’s property and assets are no longer subject to search and confiscation, and its archives are now considered inviolable. This international police force (whose U.S. headquarters is in the Justice Department in Washington) will be unrestrained by the U.S. Constitution and American law while it operates in the United States and affects both Americans and American interests outside the United States.
Interpol works closely with international tribunals (such as the International Criminal Court — which the United States has refused to join because of its sovereignty surrendering provisions, though top Obama officials want us in it). It also works closely with foreign courts and law-enforcement authorities (such as those in Europe that are investigating former Bush administration officials for purported war crimes — i.e., for actions taken in America’s defense).
Why would we elevate an international police force above American law? Why would we immunize an international police force from the limitations that constrain the FBI and other American law-enforcement agencies? Why is it suddenly necessary to have, within the Justice Department, a repository for stashing government files which, therefore, will be beyond the ability of Congress, American law-enforcement, the media, and the American people to scrutinize?
Santa was pretty good to me, 2.
Cash, gas gift cards, microwave, shirt and tie, and a few cd’s.
yikes
I watched The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas today.
I am so un-hip, I have no idea what that is! Is it a movie?
Hi, son,
They are brave, brave people, going against AK with stones.
Good Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Evening
You were right!
I gave Mrs. S the Silk’n for Christmas and she is scared to use it :o( she’s kind of wimpy that way even though it works. But you were wrong, it does work for months. You can go six months before you need another treatment or shave.
Oh well...
Hey Fuddy,
Tough day for Obama, the POS
Morning Gym, Tennis, Golf
Good thing nothing serious is going on to
disturb his year long vacation.
A microwave? That sounds as much fun as when I gave Mrs. S a toaster.
HC! Always a pleasure ..
