3.  The most worrying so far today

1. This was at Adam's:

Reports abound that the Taiwanese are getting nervous. America’s undignified scramble out of Afghanistan is the latest in a long line of undignified scrambles. History tells us that the US does not treat its allies so well if it is not in its own immediate best interests. The first example of this would be that of the American revolution, when diplomats from the revolutionaries appealed to the French monarchy to aid their cause. The French stepped up, but then the fledgling US nation made a peace deal with the British without informing their allies, leaving the French with a lot more than diplomatic egg on their faces. That betrayal was one of the direct causes that led to the French revolution.

I recall there was much derision down there when Harold Holt crawled up LB Johnson's fundament and proclaimed to Ozland: "All the way with LBJ!"  

Shortly afterwards, he was dead, lost at sea.  Coincidence of course, as the ghost of JFK might say.
