Can we shoot him out of a cannon instead? Into the ocean?

And they'll get away with it. And that fat, greasy prince will sit on his throne with that smug look on his face.

Of course. Then swab the grease out of the barrel.

I ask again, why in the ever lovin' world didn't they just drive up next to him, shoot him about 35 times and drive away? Any self respecting mobster knows the protocol. It's pretty easy to guess who did it but easy to deny.

He's a good guy. Can't they go easy on him?

Doc, please. Intelligence is like gossip. Don’t need no competence to harvest and spread gossip. You should know that.

What a horrific tragedy. What a goddamned shame and hissing and international EMBARRASSMENT we are. The filth and corruption and stinking murderous greed is just right out there in the open. No one is even bothering to THINK of hiding any of this, apparently - except in the most desultory and see-through of ways.

Sickening. Horrifying. Disgusting.

Lucky you and many happy returns.I am learning that long and happy marriages require both deep study of oneself and one's partner, but also the work of applying and practicing that wisdom every day.Especially when it is hard to do.You know you are loved as you are.What else is necessary?

Have a lovely dinner 😊

When are we going to have all-electric cars so we can cut ties with this murderous regime?

I had to read the whole thing, so I made sure to have some beautiful music playing to soften the blow. I'm not in tears, so it must have worked. Thanks, Dok.
