Ramen, rocky and the world

Today I made of bowl of what I think was Korean ramen, but it might have been Vietnamese. It came in its own hard plastic bowl with lid, a fork, two different flavor packets and an oil packet. The only English on the package was a small sticker with nutritional info on it. After eating it I was slightly buzzed, like when you first try caffeine or nicotine. Why can't you buy this stuff in Socorro?

Rocky was fun, rocky was great. I saw some new sides of some people that I didn't really expect. Three cheers for Rocky.

And now on to politics.

Updates:

Domestic Politics

4) Nothing like large spending bills to hide your "moral crusade" in.

7) Yes, it's real. Everyone knows it. Just come out and admit it, instead of burying your head in the sand.

Foreign Relations

1) Bang! Boom! Ka-Boom! You have to wonder why this keeps happening since we are doing such a good job winning hearts and minds.

Economics

2) Even Europe is telling us to clean up our mess.

3) Looks like Russia is going to make the move.

4) I would really hate to own airline stock right now.
