From now on, the "FIFA ____ Prize" is given to the person who demonstrates the exact opposite trait. So you give the FIFA Genius Prize to the biggest idiot on the planet. And you give the FIFA Peace Prize to the person who drums up an illegal and baseless war against Venezuela.

It’s only possible to not politicize a tragedy if politics played no role in causing that tragedy.

Since politics affects every aspect of human existence, all tragedies are political.

Recovery, sympathy and investigation first. Once the root cause is understood, then we can analyze.

I fell for a hack & lost my FB account. The scammer is impersonating me currently. I'm completely locked out.

* If you and I are Facebook friends, please post on Facebook to warn our mutual friends that my Facebook account is lost.

* Please report scam posts & profile.

How do we know this is a bad faith hostage-taking and not a negotiation?

One side wants to get spending cuts, clawbacks, work requirements, etc.

The other side wants to get not plunging the world economy into freefall.
