JUST MOMENTS AGO, ONE OF SEAN HANNITY'S GOOD AND LOYAL SPONSORS ON HIS RADIO CARNIVAL OF PROLEFEED, BY NAME AND STYLEE OF MARK STANFORD, has been indicted on charges in connexion with a Ponzi scheme in the form of Stanford International Bank Certificates of Deposit.
(The Sean Hannity angle being very important because a Stanford International affiliate selling investment-grade gold coins to Mr. Hannity's audience of weak-minded, undereducated and less-sophisto listeners had been advertising all the while, with Mr. Hannity perhaps [un]consciously [un]aware of Mr. Stanford's questionable repute and morals.)
In any case, Mr. Hannity needs to be asked some questions (politely, of course) as to the interconnexions vis-a-vis Stanford International, and what prevented his knowing that Stanford International's operations were of a dubious or questionable nature taking advantage of an obviously vulnerable and less-than-sophsito audience so as to allow him to continue having Stanford International as a radio sponsor.

MEANWHILE, IN THE SO-CALLED "ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN," SUPREEM LEADER AYATULLAH ALI KHAMENI used Friday prayers to reiterate previous Divine Judgment and Pronouncement that incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won last week's Presidential "elections" fairly and honestly, and warned opposition leaders and sympathisers of "dire consequences" if they continued with their protests.
Reinforced with the obligatory call for National Unity and Cohesion in the name of G-d and the People.
Which, in the minds of some Who Should Know Better, has our "morally superior" society and nation, otherwise known as the United States, caught in "deliberate" doublethink with:
President Obama, on the one hand, insisting that the Iranian People and Nation have a legitimate and sovereign right to self-determination through the agency of the ballot box and free, fair and transparent elections; and
the GOP's leadership in Congress, on the other hand, taking Obama to task (@ least when they're not busy sucking up to WorldNetDaily in its star-crossed campaign questioning the "natural-born" status of President Obama) for failing to stand up to the "oppressed peoples" of Iran in the face of potentially rigged elections (never mind the GOP's articles of faith essentially calling for such as a Holy of Holies to maintain their "natural right" to power from everlasting to everlasting).
And even with spontaneously-generated(?!) chants of "Death to Israel! Death to America! Death to Britain!" during televised coverage of said prayers, Mein Innkeeper Friend, in mentioning this item on the news this morning @ the motel he does for, wondered if the Iranian People and Nation weren't somehow (un)consciously (un)aware that their candidates included one with a past history of Notorious Dictatorial Tendencies.
That, and the GOP secretly calling for (howbeit super-secretive, details to be revealed to the public only "subject to certain signs having been received," North Korean propaganda stylee) "pre-emptive" ur-RAHOWA against Iran, preferably through "show-no-mercy" campaigns tending to outright sadism and tolchocking galore.

FROM THE SO-CALLED "UNION OF MYANMAR," DEMOCRACY ADVOCATE AUNG SUN SUU KYI MARKS HER BIRTHDAY TODAY TREADING ON LANDMINES, as it were, with her "trial" (or unreasonable facsimile thereof) for Violating the Terms of House Arrest essentially in recess and human-rights advocates expressing Clear and Compelling Concern about how other Myanmari "prisoners of conscience" under the iron-heel mentality of the military regime may fare within measurable distance, using Aung Sun Suu Kyi as an Example and Warning.
Including the prospect of "preemptive" death sentences tending to the arbitrary and uncalled for.

NORTH KOREA SEEMS TO HAVE BROKEN THE SUPPOSED GLOBAL MONOPOLY HELD BY WEIRD AND UNWHOLESOME "PATRIOT" TYPES here in our "morally superior" United States in using counterfeiting of Federal Reserve Notes as an agency of destabilising the economy towards socioeconomic collapse and anarchy, notwithstanding "projectionist" propaganda by the latter as routinely blames Jews and the "international bankers" supposedly used by the Jews as tools in agency of the Complete and Final Achievement of Total World Domination by Undermining Christendom.
Only in Pyongyang's case (the whole, perhaps, being the first test of "Dear Guide"-designate Kim Jong Un towards his being named the unqualified "Dear Guide" under supervision of his father, "Great Leader" Kim Jong Il), said counterfeiting (especially so of $20, $50 and $100 denominations) serving as furthering the "middle-finger salute" targeting the United Nations Security Council's passing further socioeconomic sanctions on North Korea which seek to further reduce North Korea into pariahdom. Anyhow, the Secret Service has asked bankers to be on the watch therefor, especially where large numbers of queer notes are being passed by North Korean nationals through the banking system on the account of North Korean entities allowed to operate licitly in the United States.

COULD THE MAYO CLINIC BE THE LATEST DISTRACTION @ THE MALL OF AMERICA IN BLOOMINGTON, MINNESOTA, joining the some 520 retailers across four levels, sixteen restaurants, an 11-screen cinema, Underwater World and Nickelodeon World @ Mall of America, within measurable distance?
(Never mind that Mayo's presence @ Mall of America will likely take the form of what's being promoted as "Mayo Clinic Gateway," which would be staffed with Mayo Clinic physicians providing outpatient and urgent care to shoppers who wind up getting ptomaine poisoning @ the fourth-level food court or vertigo on one of the rides @ Nickelodeon World. In any case, details are just now being developed.)
One thing as is worth noting about this emerging interconnexion: Airport shuttles operated by Go Rochester Direct serving the Mayo Clinic's hometown of Rochester already call @ the Mall of America on request after serving the Lindbergh Terminal @ Twin Cities International Airport, via the Public Transportation Centre.

SO MUCH FOR THOSE "SPAM" E-MAILS OF THE "419" STYLEE ASKING "ENDEAVOUR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF G-D" OR "MY DEAREST WISH--THE LADY VICTORIA CHARITABLE FOUNDATION" or similar bromides seeking your unqualified assistance in handling supposedly substantial fortunes because someone is dying (or so the patsy hath it) and converted suddenly through Christian Witness, with G-d supposedly instructing the (presumed) sender to use her fortune to help widows and orphans in particular:
Disney/Pixar recently sent the family of a 7-year-old girl who had suffered a rare and terminal form of cancer (which Garrison Keillor would likely call a Rare Blood Disease) a specially-prepared DVD of the current theatrical release Up in spite of her condition preventing her from leaving home and seeing it in cinema.
(The girl died of her condition some seven hours after seeing the DVD.)

MEANWHILE, THE MUGGINESS IN THE MINNWISSIPPI CONTINUES AS STEAMBOAT DAYS IN WINONA reaches its high-water mark, continuing through the weekend (and luckily, we lucked out of severe weather as afflicted the Northeast Iowa/Southeast Minnesota border counties overnight) ... but still, another round of awful weather may be possible towards evening before things improve over the weekend's climax.
