that's a horrible thing to have to suffer because our President had Alzheimer's and everyone who knew anything said Don't House the Marines at the Embassy, but nooooo, he knew better.

"But hey, Canada, you oughta know that Saudi Arabia doesn't "meddle in other nations' domestic affairs," very much unlike a certain bunch of poutine swillers, OKAY?"

Yeah, it's not like a country that makes offers of aid to poor nations contingent upon allowing the import of Wahabism could be said to be "meddling."

(And what you did there, I see it.)

I'm certainly glad they didn't mess with us back there with the planes.

A friend and co-worker of mine was in the Marines and was on patrol in the hills above Beirut when the attack took place. He lost many friends that day.

aye, those were the good ole days, weren't they King? Grenada, Libya. When men were men and women were glad. Until Dutch let Oliie North get 270 U.S. Marines killed for no reason at all in Beirut. That's where the fun ended I think.../s

Those things cut. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't heal in a week. They'd just about crust over before the next ones.

In a properly organized society, we would have someone who would stand up and say "you know, we don't have a problem with Islam--we let Scientology run free so you know we have a pretty tolerant view on the God thing--but frankly, we don't particularly like either of you, and we would feel a lot of better if you would just go and have your stupid family squabble and leave us out of it." Aren't we at a point where we have enough domestic ability to produce all of the petroleum products we could possibly need?

tweeting about it is fine, but did anyone at the dog & pony show actually remind Orrin of this fact?
