Dubai Ports World Must Not Take Over Port Operations

With all due respect to Dave Schuler, there is a factor he neglected in his logical analysis of the ports deal. In fact, the law triggered by this factor, while it might be considered "magical thinking" — and rightly so since it is an exact inverse of the law of similarities — is so empirically proven reliable that I cannot but conclude that the ports deal must be scrapped forthwith, despite the judgments of my reasoning mind, even if it means selling to Halliburton (and won't that drive Kos [more] batshit crazy?) or for that matter Disney: Jimmy Carter thinks it's a good idea.

Always do the opposite of what Jimmy Carter recommends, and all will be well.

UPDATE: I am not alone.

Strange bedfellows indeed: Jimmy Carter and Rush Limbaugh both on the same side (or nearly) as I am.

Yes, the Carter endorsement was enough to knock me off-kilter and wonder if I missed something terribly obvious in reaching my conclusion.

Agreed!
