is it considered good luck to have a pigeon build a nest and roost on your windowsill? ive got one about two feet from here with two eggs unhatched. guess thats a little more than roosting. whats the word for that? incubating? nesting?

I know this is obvious, but I have to vent.
If I hear one more politician say that we need to "keep all options on the table" with regard to Iran my head is going to explode. There is not a single person who actually thinks we should keep *all* options on the table with regard to Iran or any other country or situation we might face. Obviously we aren't going to release smallpox in Iran. Obviously we are not going to launch an all out ICBM attack on every city and town in Iran. So why the fuck do people keep saying we need to keep every option on the table. It doesn't mean anything. What they mean is they want to keep the option of nuking Iran with locally deployed weapons on the table. But they want the cover of being able to say that they aren't saying specifically we should use nukes - it's just part of "keeping everything on the table."
Why won't a reporter follow up with a question asking one of them if that therefore means they support keeping the smallpox option on the table? Or how about crashing the Moon into Iran? I mean come on! Every option is *not* on the table. This is ridiculous.
i am actually "cooking" something, if cooking means throwing things in a wok on an electric burner. lamb sausage (for jesus), broccoli, white onions and cilantro. its like a resurrection for my colon. heres looking at you, kid!

"The twin principles of modernism and marketing: seeing fresh promise in
familiar things."
journalist Michael Pollan
talks about what and how we eat.
the cost of this war will be measured in destroyed lives. among them are the almost one in three returning soldiers effected for life by PTSD:
Of the 505,366 troops who have left the military after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan in the past four years, 144,424 have sought health care through Veterans Affairs. Of that number, 46,571 received preliminary diagnoses of mental disorders, including 20,638 with PTSD, according to the VA.
The numbers don't capture the full scope of the nation's growing PTSD caseload, however. Many former troops seek psychological help from private practices or other sources. Neither does the number account for PTSD sufferers currently enlisted in the military.
(The Independent requested the numbers of diagnosed PTSD cases from the various military branches, but officials are either still working to meet the request or say the information is not readily available.)
