Some brief Tal­king points on Dar­fur from Ame­ri­can Pro­gress: Taking Action in Darfur.

The full article can be found here .

So tell me.…if you were taken hos­tage in some foreign country by peo­ple hos­tile to your govern­ment and these peo­ple made you dress in a way you were oppo­sed to but really wan­ted to stay alive and if the peo­ple actually trea­ted you well ‚except for the fact that they weren’t going to let wear you own clothing and wouldn’t let you go, would you spit in their face and tell them you wan­ted your gap jeans and tank top?

I’m very busy at this time going to mee­tings and volun­tee­ring for bor­der patrol.….….. the city must be pro­tec­ted ; it is espe­cially dif­fi­cult when dea­ling with peo­ple from Tallahas­see as they are mani­pu­la­tive and sly although usually pretty stupid.

One quick note from my trip.: It was ama­zing to me to see a large num­ber of older Ame­ri­can men outside a res­tau­rant in Jaco…driving up on golf carts and pic­king up pros­ti­tu­tes. It was like watching a bad movie and I couldn’t help but stare even though that little ball of nau­sea was cree­ping up. What ama­zed me even more was that in some cases, while at the hotel bars in the eve­ning, some of the law­yers at this event came in with women that we assu­med were pros­ti­tu­tes as well but who indeed tur­ned out to be ( on clo­ser ins­pec­tion) their “newly engi­nee­red” wives.

I hope to be out from under soon.

Adden­dum: It’s always something isn’t it? Check out the Sha­kira video pos­ted at my old site   

( because it won’t embed here) . I’m hea­ding to my first “dance like Sha­kira” class…actually more like a quasi — belly dan­cing class but I was coer­ced and I need a break. We’ll see how it goes.

  • Pretty sure I would do wha­te­ver it took to stay alive.

    “Newly engi­nee­red” makes them sound like they just got off of the assembly line.

  • Keep on pressing.

    Cer­tain I’d op for the Burka.

    “I never really knew that she could dance like this
    She makes a man wants to speak Spa­nish
    Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
    Sha­kira, Shakira”

    Va Para Él Tri­cia. Las cade­ras no mienten.

  • I think I meant Haga lo que usted debe. La cade­ras no miente.

  • I’m com­men­ting in seve­ral posts together. I always have to save you for last because there is always so much in one little bunch.

    Sold Out.

    Nothing like star­ting out with a Bloody Mary.

    I’m with you on immigration.

    “Newly engi­nee­red wives”. That sounds scary.

    Nice sli­deshow.

    Thank You for Sha­kira and good luck with the dance lessons.

  • Oh and I would opt for the Burka as well.

  • another thing

    My wife is a law­yer and she would not want me engi­nee­red any other
    way.

  • Sha­kira… hot…Hot…HOt… HOT… I wish I could dance like that…
    Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

  • Cow­girl: they loo­ked like they had just got­ten off an assembly line as well.

    John: It’s the second one I believe. Exactly I wouldn’t even com­plain about the color.

    jacob: ha ha making up for lost time. I’m sure your wife is a fine law­yer as many are and I am also posi­tive you are engi­nee­red right.

    Sha­kira: me to obut as I found out today .…well maybe I can. ;)

  • Sha­kira eh? As long as they do the hip moves. I was not too impres­sed by her tit sha­king moves on the song she had with Ale­jan­dro Sanz… although I am sure the fellas won’t mind but even my Lover­boy said it loo­ked stu­pid and he is as manly as they come…

    Shake with care amiga…

  • Hips like Sha­kira class, eh? Intri­guing. Where may I enroll in such a class myself so that I too may have hips like Shakira?

  • Can you choose the Burka color? Pattern?

  • Where do I sign up to dance like Wyc­lef? And are you going to
    video­tape your­self and put that video up as well for com­pa­ri­son? Pleeeeeese?

  • mizzy bohem: Sha­kira Shaira…lol

    mojo: that wouldbe abso­lu­tely .…so tran. lol

    Dedd: Hope so but I wouldn’t push for it as when my life is at stake I am fairly acquiescent.

    Coyote: Don’t know but I’m sure there is a place within a hun­dred miles of you that would be willing to take you on. If I ever post a video of myself online please send the mind police to takle me away.

  • I can’t think of anything dum­ber than cri­ti­ci­zing Jill Carroll right now. Except not hoping to see your Sha­kira imitation.

  • Exactly Doug. Some peo­ple just have nothing bet­ter to do with their time because cer­tainly they can’t be that mis­gui­ded or stu­pid.
    At least I would hope.
    What a was­ted space. To think they could have put a story on Dar­fur there.
