Who ought to be hunted down and buried alive themselves.
Face it: most of the world is as backwards as if populated by trolls. Venal, petty, stupid...
Think it can be fixed? Ever? I don't. Embrace the horror of it all.
Oh, could you possibly mean not allowing US foreign policy to be dictated by Israel? Would that fit the definition of "isolationism"?
Not invading foreign countries in order to depose their popular leader and steal their oil? Would that be "isolationism"?
The whole land-war-in-southeast-asia thing... also "isolationism"?
Palin's a piffle, but "isolationism" sounds like a bright idea given the insane foreign policy decisions of the past forty or fifty years.
That was certainly a fascinating and underreported event after Katrina.
And I mean legendary. Word.
Did McSame just concede the election? How did he find this woman to be VP? Unless this is a setup and Lieberman or some other more likely candidate will step in once Palin is disqualified or otherwise set aside.
The best way to keep a relationship healthy and fresh is to NOT MOVE IN TOGETHER. In the situation you describe... well, you didn't really need to even ask, did you? It sounds terrible and I'm glad to see an avalanche of NO! NO! NO! from the letter writers. NO don't do it.
Nice.
Bound and gagged by geological corporate thinking, Detroit will produce nothing new. Remember when Japanese cars were a source of bemusement and wonder? I do. No one's laughing any more.
Why didn't Ford come out with the Prius? Do you think that any US automaker will innovate ANYTHING except for more cupholders?
Creative people do not rise in corporate ranks. Which leads to a think strata of soulless corporate suits at the top of virtually every corporation I've ever seen from the inside.
Not just creative people, but people who love cars. When did Detroit roll out anything that spoke to a car lover? The 64 Mustang?
The race is over, and it was over decades ago. Like American steel, American autos are a relic of the past. All we manufacture in this country are rich executives.
A genius engineer friend of mine adapted an aircooled VW engine to run on propane, only to discover that the hoopla around LP-powered vehicles in the late 70s meant that an LP-refueling network was set up for tax purposes but that they really were not interested in selling propane to individual users, and the LP stations that could be found clearly did not want to have anything to do with an individual genius inventor.
It's a lot of fun. Sylvester Stallone as one of the villains and David Carradine as the protagonist. Minor boobage, so God forbid any children ever see this film. We all knew that seeing boobs in media leads directly to terrorism(tm).
It sounds like the new version of the film has had all the fun drained out of it and an off-the-shell gritty, grimy look applied. With pretty cardboard players. How nice. I'll bump it up to the top of my Netflix queue. Not.
An En Dash, maybe; an Em Dash, never.
Semicolons rock. As does nuance.
Oh, the false-flag attacks, right, gotcha.
How's that WTC rebuilding coming along? Still maintaining an open psychic wound on the country? Good, good... all according to plan...
I guess it was a "war" and not a capitalist invasion and occupation. I guess the North Vietnamese bombed Hollywood during the Academy Awards or something.
It's not like they were about to come over here.
In fact, I don't recall "war" being declared. And McSame was a shitty pilot, not a hero. He ought to have been billed for the numerous aircraft he destroyed. Not to mention the sailors and aviators he burned alive on the USS Forrestal with his rich-asshole-kid horseplay.
Cmon, that's not even an appetizer. Obama ought to swab what's left of the deck of the aircraft carrier McSame caused an inferno on by "wet-starting" his aircraft.
McSame was a SHITTY pilot, a veritable North Vietnamese ace, he wrecked so many US planes.
McSame was at the BOTTOM of his class. If his father and grandfather hadn't been Naval officers it does not appear likely that McSame would have been enrolled at the Naval Academy.
POW War Hero? How about SHITTY PILOT? He didn't tuck in his arms and legs while ejecting, resulting in his injuries.
WHERE WAS JOHN MCSAME his first six months as a POW? No one seems to have seen him. No Americans, anyway.
A US President whose brain was scrubbed right down to the floorboards by Soviet KGB officials? What did they reprogram him with? Can you say Manchurian Candidate?
Come on, Senator. Pound the snot out of McSame, you are facing an uphill battle. Chop his legs out from under him with a large battle ax. Bury him. Do not be polite.
McSame is a brittle old psychopath. Too angry to be President, too old to be President. McSame was a shitty pilot. McSame was a privileged son and grandson of Naval brass and strings were pulled for him. McSame caused an inferno by being a dick and "wet-starting" his aircraft, causing ordnance to cook off and killing quite a few crew members on the USS Forrestal. But his Fortunate Son butt was off that boat before the screams of the horribly burned sailors stopped echoing.
This is a TARGET RICH ENVIRONMENT. Destroy your opponent.
A few words about retroactive prosecutions of Bush43 henchmen are in order, also. But that's just me expecting some kind of change, which will not take place. It's all business as usual.
