Today all I want to do is talk about international stuff. But it's Friday, and hell - there will be plenty of time to talk about it next week.

Really - for three weeks I've been trying to get a post out about Syria. I have so many things to say about it I might have to break it up into several posts. It is breathtaking how delusional people are when they talk about ISIS. Flat out delusional. I've been watching the twitter feed out of there for three years. Before twitter made everyone scatter to other places at the beginning of this year.

Half the time it was so extreme I didn't even want to Google translate it. You mostly didn't need words anyway. There are no words. Only a far away stare.
