via Facebook... This. " But while the sharp uptick of U.S. drone strikes has succeeded in taking out a handful of key figures, including AQAP deputy emir Said al-Shihri and charismatic extremist cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, the barrage of remotely operated American airpower has failed to deliver anything resembling a knock-out punch to the terror group. Yemenis overwhelmingly oppose the strikes, which they see as violations of the nation’s sovereignty and the rule of law. These misgivings have only been heightened by a series of civilian casualties resulting from the strikes. A number of observers—including former U.S. deputy ambassador to Yemen Nabil Khoury—have vocally criticized the strikes, arguing that they ultimately risk creating as many militants as they kill, ironically threatening to inflame anti-American sentiments to the point of spurring the very attacks the U.S. is aiming to prevent."

via Facebook... I find my lack of sleep....disturbing. I'm going to eat all the things, randomly let my dogs share my food, play some video games and make sure that everyone on the internet is aware of my thoughts on random world events. I will also play tug and "give me back my shoe! Dammit I need something to trade...." (hands dog random collection of items, one by one)...."a pencil? No....a full water bottle? Not now....I know!" (Hand over Steve's left behind shoe) Misha will need to pee exactly zero times because her bladder is somehow psychicly linked to REM sleep. Happy Sunday!

via Facebook... This. " But make no mistake, the reasons the perpetrators carried out this attack were more complex than simply freedom of speech. For what is pitifully lacking in most every media representation of the attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo is the historical background of what this attack was about."

via Facebook... I think I'm going to have to be productive today. But it's RAINING! I should just wrap myself in dogs and blankets and read and binge on Netflix and drink hot tea. Being a grown up isn't all it's cracked up to be!
