Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Bermuda

The Bird Dog family has a multi-generational attachment to Bermuda. We always stay at Cambridge Beaches: it's our place. No glitz, unostentatious, no jacuzzis, heavy on Brits, lots of little one-room "villas" perched on the hill over the ocean, sort-of mediocre but edible food. I like to feed on Grouper, Bermuda Fish Chowder, Conch fritters and Dark 'n Stormies whenever I am in Grouper-land. (We do not golf, so we do not need the Mid-Ocean Club.)


You can walk to a place that rents little Whalers and snorkeling or scuba gear, and they will give you a map of the good coral reefs. You go offshore and find them yourself. Mopeds always, but you drive on the left so it's a bit of an IQ test in the traffic circles.


It would pain me to see the US take over Cambridge Beaches as a place to put the Gitmo terrorists. It would tick off the Brits too, no doubt.

As I noted earlier, shoving dedicated Muslim troublemakers onto a beautiful island like Bermuda is, to say the least, rewarding bad behavior with a trip to Paradise.

The White House, as usual, has decided to sweep things under the rug -- the rug being a lovely vacation isle where hard-working folks from many countries go to have a little downtime before they go back to work again. If one is going to dump terrorists onto the lap of one of our most longstanding allies in this increasingly fractured world, how about dumping them in the Falkland Islands, another British protectorate, which are quite near the ever chilly South Pole. This climate might cool their jets in several ways. Staying alive in constantly cold weather is a challenge in itself. Just ask Russia's political prisoners in the gentle embrace of the Siberian climate.

It would appear you have hit the nail on the head.....it would bother the Brits. Obama has added up a substantive list of hits on Britain in his short time in office (it pales compared to what he has done to the USA), so I would assume he would continue on in this fashion, perhaps add in a few shots at France and Germany, perhaps nail Japan....oh wait, I forgot Canada and Mexico....that should do it.
