jon stewart interviewed former ed sec bill bennett on 6/6. playing on the omen theme, he pointed out that bennett's then boss's full name, ronald wilson reagan, has 3 groups of 6 letters.
he should've rerun his tony snow bit that day. the graphic with it said "FOX in the henhouse," but the building in the pic looked like its main hen's named laura. snow, of course, worked for FOXnews before moving to the WH. numerologically, FOX=666.
steve colbert also did something on the beast, but he missed the FOX connection, too.
meanwhile, here on the home front, i've had no luck at all since 6/6. blogger was shut down when i tried to post yesterday, and it's not too good today. it won't let me respond to odysseus's comment. i can't get it to insert links, either. making them myself is too damn much trouble. if i can get it to post this stuff at all, i think i'll wait to add links when i get a chance.

Back to your response to my comment:
ReplyDeleteI think we can equate the performance of the US armed forces to the performance of US sporting teams. Great and powerful on our own turf with our own rules, but crappy anywhere else. Check out the lame world cup performance. We even get our clocks cleaned on the world baseball stage, but still call our professional championships the World Series. But we're still the champs at NASCAR while everyone else is racing Formula 1, and american football, which has next to nothing to do with feet while everyone else plays football, which we call soccer.
but isn't "The battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton" true?
ReplyDeleteor is there more to it than teamwork?
like, say, strategy?
maybe we lose international games because foreign teams have been coming up w/ strategies unfamiliar 2 us.
in war, i doubt anybody can go toe 2 toe w/ us, but guerrilla's a whole different ball game.
