This stuff is just endless.....

It's like a jungle out there.
From Democracy now:
excerpt ......

"During her visit to India, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed an arms deal that could prove a boon to Lockheed Martin and Boeing. Both firms are in the running to sell India 126 fighter jets at an estimated cost of $12 billion. It is the most lucrative fighter aircraft deal in fifteen years. Richard Kirkland, president for Lockheed Martin in South Asia, said, quote, 'This signals an era of increased defense cooperation between the United States and India.'

"Speaking in India, meanwhile, Clinton hailed the deal as an important step in US-India relations.

HILLARY CLINTON: 'I’m also pleased that Prime Minister Singh told me that sites for two nuclear parks for US companies have been approved by the government. These parks will advance the aims of the US-India civil nuclear agreement, facilitate billions of dollars in US reactor exports, and create jobs in both countries, as well as generate much-needed energy for the Indian people.'

And, now we know why the US is building a HUGE embassy complex in Pakistan. I mean I couldn't figure it out. We are spreading a big cancer in order for our own war industries to keep their talons dug deep into the flesh of mankind. Who knew?? Not me, and maybe not you..

The STATE department as Jobs Program! But then again, I have to ask, "Where have all the other good paying jobs gone"?

I'm afraid that Puck (me) is ill ( "gosh", *(see note below) aside to stage right: "Hemlock is very, very bitter isn't Socrates"?) but leaves this message:

"Captain of our fairy band,
Helena is here at hand,
And the youth, mistook by me,
Pleading for a lover's fee.
Shall we their fond pageant see?
Lord, what fools these mortals be!"

Ta!
