[(A Summary) Al-Sudani returns to Baghdad after concluding his official visit to America - 4/20/2024]

My Texas connection from Pecos Bills BBQ confirmed Suds ( that's what the folks at Texas Outfitters call him while he was being measured for his True Grit outfit), he purchased TWO 55 gallon containers of hot & spicy 🔥 pork ribs ONE 55 gallon container of Slaw & ONE 55 GALLON container of fire roasted baked beans. Apparently there's a Dozen pallets of Lone Star Beer (Suds has a mighty thirst for Lone Star) also loaded on his plane.

I hope wherever he holds this Victory Lap Party, there's proper ventilation in the Banquet Hall.

I organized all my iqd, receipts etc the other day and realized I bought my first iqd in 2012. I'm pretty sure I've been telling everyone it was 2009... twilight zone is right ✅️ 

Odd, I just finished organizing all my anxiety meds by strength 😄 

All the best 

[A Fistful of Dinars: Demystifying Iraq's Dollar Auction]

After 21 years we're way beyond mystifying: we're in the most bewildering surreal episode of the Twilight Zone ever.

[E O 13303 EXTENDED]

I feel like we've just taken a hard turn running straight into the surreal.

If there was ever a politician that could answer a question directly ANYWHERE in the world without dodging, tap dancing, line dancing, strategic ballerina trippy toes spinning around the podium, foxtroting & all around jitter bugging and sand bagging an issue I think I'd fall into a coma.

Ever heard a bureaucrat answer (to a simple question) Yes or No without running his/her mouth FIRST, an still not a Yes or a No in there...

On the only hand, I like this, but ending the auctions by the “end of the year” doesn’t feel all that “close” to me .. 😑

Just more foot dragging by disinterested parties

Bad idea this...one of these will wind up in Iran: maybe more.

Or they'll (Iranian agents inside Iraq) just stick one in an outta the way hanger and take it apart to see what makes it tick.

[RAPID DECLINE OF THE DOLLAR in the coming days!!!]

2 hours ago, Half Crazy Runner said:

I wonder by whose definition of a “rapid decline” will this happen?  I’d like it to be my definition, where the dollar falls to 1:1 with the dinar.  💰💰💰💰

Oh that's an easy one...Rapid Decline definition as follows: as fast as Molasses flowing uphill in winter.

All the Best ... hopefully the rapid decline definition pays off as the statement implies, not the foot dragging one.

We got stuck on that ride once when it broke down for 30 minutes. The worst part was listening to that song over and over…. 🤪

And over and over and over: make it stop. I had that stupid song playing in my brain 🧠. Couldn't have been any of the thousands of others I like, Noooooooooo, had to be that one.

Had to listen to Mozart to purge that tune from my brain Pan
