BREAKING (literally) Hillary Clinton Shatters Elbow

oops!

Bill was busy giving Monica some elbow excersises.

She was returning from the bar area and tripped over a pretzel that some legend dropped on the floor.

she was pushed....by unseen forces

and why wait a week for the surgery? hmm

She is just getting out of the way for all the fire works next week.

war....june22/23....

Probably her right elbow in keeping with her shattering the last right wing government gestapo policy.

Bones of You

So I'm there,
Charging around with a juganaut brow
Over draft speeches and deadlines to make
Cramming commitments like cats in a sack
Telephone burning, purposeful gait
When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch
Of a song that i know, and the world
Moves in slow - mo
Straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day
And its you, and its me, and we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago and every thousand miles away...

You have turned
A man of my caliber stood in the street
Like a sleepwalking teenager i know
That I dealt with this years ago
I took a hammer to every momento
But image on image like beads on a rosary
Move through my head as the music takes hold
And the second it hits
I can work till i break
But i love the bones of you that i will never escape
And its you, and its me, and we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago every thousand miles away...
And i can't move my arm, for the fear that you will wake
And I'm five years ago every thousand miles away...

And I'm five years ago every thousand miles away...
And I'm five years ago every thousand miles away...
And its you, and its me, and we're sleeping through the day
And I'm five years ago every thousand miles away...

Good start for a conspiracy OP...that is two (Hillary and Sonia Sotomayor). With only two, I will dismiss it, but when it becomes three or four I will look for the pattern.

Wow, that must have hurt like crazy. I don't agree with her politics at all, but I hope she gets better quickly all the same. That would have been a nasty accident.

I agree.

They are just setting it up so when they announce Biden has broken his jaw and will not be able to do interviews as it is wired shut, nobody will question it.

The real story : Obama likes girl fights. They have a ladies' fight club going on in the White House basement.

This pretzel?

George Bush 'chokes on pretzel' [link to news.bbc.co.uk]

too bad it wasn't her neck

too bad she dint fall on her face and dont forget Arhnold broke his leg...more will follow as a sign america is broken and fallen.help ive fallen and i cant get up..

when I broke my ankle, they had to wait a week to do surgery to let the swelling go down...

Has anyone seen Hillary lately? Sotomayor has been out and about with a broken leg.Hillary has two good legs,so where is she?

Are they cloning her after the shootout in the DC parking garage like they did Paulson and Laura Bush after Georgie caught her at the Mayflower Hotel with an old boyfriend who was going to help her leave the country? Or perhaps she's running stolen money out of the country under cover of her broken wing as she and Billywong did for Poppy Bush and jr.
Word on the street is that Obama has fallen in lockstep with the neo-nazis and what we are seeing out of Congress,the media,and the WH is a lot of dog n pony looky here - don't look there as we finish off the country and the American people...meanwhile Cheney is posturing for a comeback,I can't believe someone hasn't thrown a net over the entire Bush administration by now which is very revealing about the US Dept of so called Justice and the Obama administration.There is no "Change",it's still Dirty Business As Usual in the District of Criminals.There can be no "Change" as long as Obama is surrounded by Bush and Clinton operatives and the Congress,CIA,FBI,and Pentagram are run by the same scumbags who brought us 911,endless illegal wars,and a mountain of debt that will enslave us for all time.

Ol' Hillary has been up to no good as usual.She's been involved in the looting of America and is hell-bent on building yet another huge money laundering center away from prying eyes and under the false impression that their neo-nazi organization will be untouchable behind walls...

snip>How to Deal with America's Empire of Bases

A Modest Proposal for Garrisoned Lands

July 2, 2009

by Chalmers Johnson

TomDispatch.com

The U.S. Empire of Bases -- at $102 billion a year already the world's costliest military enterprise -- just got a good deal more expensive. As a start, on May 27th, we learned that the State Department will build a new "embassy" in Islamabad, Pakistan, which at $736 million will be the second priciest ever constructed, only $4 million less, if cost overruns don't occur, than the Vatican-City-sized one the Bush administration put up in Baghdad. The State Department was also reportedly planning to buy the five-star Pearl Continental Hotel (complete with pool) in Peshawar, near the border with Afghanistan, to use as a consulate and living quarters for its staff there.

Unfortunately for such plans, on June 9th Pakistani militants rammed a truck filled with explosives into the hotel, killing 18 occupants, wounding at least 55, and collapsing one entire wing of the structure. There has been no news since about whether the State Department is still going ahead with the purchase.

Whatever the costs turn out to be, they will not be included in our already bloated military budget, even though none of these structures is designed to be a true embassy -- a place, that is, where local people come for visas and American officials represent the commercial and diplomatic interests of their country. Instead these so-called embassies will actually be walled compounds, akin to medieval fortresses, where American spies, soldiers, intelligence officials, and diplomats try to keep an eye on hostile populations in a region at war. One can predict with certainty that they will house a large contingent of Marines and include roof-top helicopter pads for quick get-aways.

While it may be comforting for State Department employees working in dangerous places to know that they have some physical protection, it must also be obvious to them, as well as the people in the countries where they serve, that they will now be visibly part of an in-your-face American imperial presence. We shouldn't be surprised when militants attacking the U.S. find one of our base-like embassies, however heavily guarded, an easier target than a large military base.

And what is being done about those military bases anyway -- now close to 800 of them dotted across the globe in other people's countries? Even as Congress and the Obama administration wrangle over the cost of bank bailouts, a new health plan, pollution controls, and other much needed domestic expenditures, no one suggests that closing some of these unpopular, expensive imperial enclaves might be a good way to save some money.

Instead, they are evidently about to become even more expensive. On June 23rd, we learned that Kyrgyzstan, the former Central Asian Soviet Republic which, back in February 2009, announced that it was going to kick the U.S. military out of Manas Air Base (used since 2001 as a staging area for the Afghan War), has been persuaded to let us stay. But here's the catch: In return for doing us that favor, the annual rent Washington pays for use of the base will more than triple from $17.4 million to $60 million, with millions more to go into promised improvements in airport facilities and other financial sweeteners. All this because the Obama administration, having committed itself to a widening war in the region, is convinced it needs this base to store and trans-ship supplies to Afghanistan.

I suspect this development will not go unnoticed in other countries where Americans are also unpopular occupiers. For example, the Ecuadorians have told us to leave Manta Air Base by this November. Of course, they have their pride to consider, not to speak of the fact that they don't like American soldiers mucking about in Colombia and Peru. Nonetheless, they could probably use a spot more money.

And what about the Japanese who, for more than 57 years, have been paying big bucks to host American bases on their soil? Recently, they reached a deal with Washington to move some American Marines from bases on Okinawa to the U.S. territory of Guam. In the process, however, they were forced to shell out not only for the cost of the Marines' removal, but also to build new facilities on Guam for their arrival. Is it possible that they will now take a cue from the government of Kyrgyzstan and just tell the Americans to get out and pay for it themselves? Or might they at least stop funding the same American military personnel who regularly rape Japanese women (at the rate of about two per month) and make life miserable for whoever lives near the 38 U.S. bases on Okinawa. This is certainly what the Okinawans have been hoping and praying for ever since we arrived in 1945.

In fact, I have a suggestion for other countries that are getting a bit weary of the American military presence on their soil: cash in now, before it's too late. Either up the ante or tell the Americans to go home. I encourage this behavior because I'm convinced that the U.S. Empire of Bases will soon enough bankrupt our country, and so -- on the analogy of a financial bubble or a pyramid scheme -- if you're an investor, it's better to get your money out while you still can.

This is, of course, something that has occurred to the Chinese and other financiers of the American national debt. Only they're cashing in quietly and slowly in order not to tank the dollar while they're still holding onto such a bundle of them. Make no mistake, though: whether we're being bled rapidly or slowly, we are bleeding; and hanging onto our military empire and all the bases that go with it will ultimately spell the end of the United States as we know it.

Count on this, future generations of Americans traveling abroad decades from now won't find the landscape dotted with near-billion-dollar "embassies."
