It has been said that “Laughter Is the Best Medicine.”\u00a0 Using that old saw as a standard I’ve tried to find humor in the absurd, but in my apparent dotage it is getting harder to do so…<\/p>\n
Anyway,\u00a0 it seems Clint Eastwood has been Swatted<\/a><\/p>\n Add another celebrity to the list of people that have been swatted. “Dirty Harry” himself, Clint Eastwood<\/a>, is the latest in a long line of celebrity victims. According to TMZ<\/a>, police rushed to Eastwood’s Los Angeles home this week, after a 911 call stated that men with assault weapons were inside the actor’s house, and people had been shot.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Linking Eastwood with Bieber (see the link) is funny, but all it takes is a phony 911 call. Any one of us could annoy someone and have a well meaning SWAT team come a-knocking.<\/p>\n I suspect that defining “absurd” is where I fail. Someone has changed the definition when I wasn’t looking.<\/p>\n How ’bout this one: Karzai has ordered all U.S. Special Forces out of two key provinces within two weeks.<\/a><\/p>\n Afghan President Hamid Karzai has ordered all U.S. Special Forces out of two key provinces within two weeks, accusing Afghan units under their jurisdiction of being responsible for the torture, abuse, and disappearance of Afghan civilians.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n My first thought was that he must finally have amassed enough cash AND have a jet on the runway all warmed up.\u00a0 If we didn’t have “boots on the ground” there the absurdity would be worth mentioning. How DID he become Prez in the first place?<\/p>\n
