Those brave diplomats can see which way the wind is blowing. Plus, this way they get to stay in NYC and see “Spiderman.”

@Mistress Cynica: COTD on your birthday, well done!

Libyan ambassador just on BBC – decided to stop supporting Qaddafi after 40 years or so … a brave stand!

@blogenfreude: No kidding. They can’t stay unless they bring back the head of Qaddafi.

@Mistress Cynica:
Happy B-Day

@ManchuCandidate: Thanks. In honor of the big 5-0, The Ventures.

@Mistress Cynica: Here’s another version that’s even more awesome for the threads.

@Mistress Cynica: Happy birthday!

This reminds me of a ww2 book I read titled The German Generals Talk, featuring interviews with the Generals that survived both the war and their subsequent captivity. It’s a good read, but it quickly came to mind that there weren’t many German Generals talking when Hitler was still alive. When a finally sober Goering was asked at Nuremberg if there were any dissenters during the war, he answered “not above ground”.

@Mistress Cynica: Happy belated b-day, C!

@Benedick: @¡Andrew!: Thanks, darlings!
