Comment Re:sigh. bailing wire? (Score 1) 868

I haven't been around a lot of hay bales in a while, but back in the 60's and 70's hay bales were bound together with steel wire. The machine that we towed through the fields to pick up the cut hay and make the bales was stocked with spools of... wait for it... "baling wire" :)

If a U.S. citizen was killed, then the U.S. has a diplomatic wedge into the investigation. "We are looking into what happened to our people."

If if no U.S. citizen is involved, then everyone inside and outside would be perfectly justified in telling the U.S. to keep their nose out of it. (Not that the U.S. would follow that advice.)

Or use an utterly bland review as code for a bad review.

"I ate at this restaurant. They clean it. It has decorations. It had service. I had a meatball sandwich. The meatballs were made of beef. I went home and went to bed."

Translation: "I really wish I hadn't eaten here. The place was filthy, the decor is horrible and the service was terrible. The meatball sandwich I had was disgusting. The menu said it was made with beef, but I question whether that is actually the case. After eating here, I felt sick."
