Lobotero’s Info Ink

I realize that few here will remember the yellow ribbons and such from 1979, when the Iranians took 52 American hostages and held them for 444 days.  I was all the news and every tree had a yellow ribbon wrapped around it.

I guess that trends went down the toilet with the advent of those irritating car magnets.  You are probably wondering where I am going with this, right?

OK i will get to the point……ever hear of Marc Gonsalves, Thomas Howes, Keith Stansell?  Probably not!  These three Americans are the longest held hostages  But there are no ribbons for them.  These Americans have been held by the Colombian rebel group–FARC–for over 5 years.

Granted there are only 3 of them, but they are Americans and as such deserve the same respect and concern of all Americans.

Hi there sports fans, or should I say political junkies?  I will be writing on most political subjects, but especially those occurrences in my home state of Mississippi.  I shall attempt to help people understand more about what goes on behind the scenes and help them grasp their part in the political drama of the country.

The good news is that it shall be a couple of days before the inaugural post.  I also have other writings on other sites, but that is another story.
