four years...

I've been writing in bits and pieces on this blog for exactly 4 years. My main attempt in putting some lines togeter from time to time was to point out the stupidity of our ways in this world.
Finally the yokel administration of this idiot in the USA has come to an end, but we may have to live for a long time with the screw ups and inaction of this fellow Bush 2. To this day I don't think he has a clue why some people in this world hate America. It looks like Mr. Obama is quite capable in reversing the downhill route america was on. I wish him luck...so far so good.

in the news...


.The BP Oil mess in the Gulf of Mexico...they call it a spill,it's a disaster..
.Tea Party member elected, blows in the face of both, the democrats and republicans....
.The Greek bailout by the other Euromembers put pressure on the Euro...it dropped versus the Dollar..
.New faith in the Greenback acted to reduce the Can. $ from parity to 94cents US; at this moment it is undervalued..

THEN...

On 16 July 1945, the Americans successfully tested an atomic bomb at Alamogordo in the New Mexico desert, USA. July 21; Churchill and Truman agreed that the weapon should be used. Truman did not tell Stalin of the weapon until July 25 when he advised Stalin that America had 'a new bomb of unusually destructive force.' While Stalin seemed unaffected at hearing this news, he was later noted as being outraged at President Truman for not sharing this information earlier. Stalin was actually aware of the atomic bomb before Truman was as he had two spies that had infiltrated the Manhattan Project. By the 26th of July, the Potsdam Declaration had been broadcast to Japan, threatening total destruction unless the Imperial Japanese government submitted to unconditional surrender.

Ah..well....it was my birthday...number...oh well...and Diana took me for dinner to a German Restaurant in Toronno...I just had one beer and can not explain the somewhat dipped look on my face..back to more serious stuff like Obama,Sarah Palin  King George the Shrub and related events.
In the news, the bailout of Greece by mostly Germany and their grip on the Euro, and...the ridiculous disaster in the Gulf of Mexico the event they like to call the spill....
