I grew up during the 60s when music seemed like everything, so l was dumbfounded when I later asked a coworker what kind of music she liked? Seemingly lost by the opportunity such a question offered, she answered, "I don't know; whatever's on the radio."

These people have their own country now.

I use the term, "soured coleslaw for brains", for Ol' Joe buddy.And you betcha, it stinks a lot.(I was a professional cook my whole career.)

As far as elections, Ha, Ha, Ha!!! Or as You Tuber, and doomer-ecologist, Sam Mitchell, of "Collapse Chronicles", would say, "That's a real knee slapper!" What qualifies the 'press corps' exclusive privilege to travel abroad is the fact that their heads are always up their asses so far so as not to hear anything tumbling out of various President's mouths, no matter how inane.

Plug in any named President and the head's of the press is exactly as described. If not they end up here, on the 'net, working for peanuts. Or in back allies running small offset presses printing pamphlets as in yesteryear. However their dignity remains intact and their words reflect the truth more often than not. And we all need to support their fearless work. That's how socialism works, if we'd all let it. Joe can rot as far as I'm concerned. Nothing will change 'till after the coming collapse. I hope you all make it to the other side, barring a nuclear exchange, of course. Which may not happen if the neocons can be corralled. Peace, The Ol' Hippy

"Soup-brained" is an apt description for this ancient pervert now being used as a pawn by the powers that be. The whole G conference reminds me of a few lines from the "The Interpreter" spoken by the movie's eponym, describing the Geneva Conference as a collection of old white men patting themselves on the back upon delivering empty words that accomplish nothing. Wish I had a copy of that 2005 film to draw an exact quotation, but that was the gist of it. What a staged farce this caucus was. Watching/listening to an actual interpreter translating the words of one participant brought the realism of those lines home to me.

If the President will admit what Asia knows, it could save the US Philippine Visiting Forces Agreement. Oligarch Corazon Aquino's 1986 "election" was a coup. The recent UN arbitral award & a less well-known bilateral agreement allow US special forces and nuclear weapons to pass through the South China Sea. Is some one trying to make the Philippines ground zero in a an idiotic nuclear power play against China?
