You're welcome. I'm currently rereading "Fear and Loathing: On The Campaign Trail '72". Love Thompson. So much of what he wrote resonates today.

Good gawd, the right has this backwards---we're the effing ransomers. It was and is Iran's own money--not ours. We then said we aren't giving you your own money unless you send our guys back. Good for us. Now that's called "winning".

Another analogy: Voting for Kirk is like masturbating-it's briefly entertaining, but then your hand smells like a dick the rest of the day and you feel cheap and worthless.
