I think you might take a look at Afghanistan and what it helped do to the soviets. Those endless small wars do a great and inexorable job of Bankrupting countries. I'll take a few nukes every hundred years to a bnakrupt country fighting for gawd knows what in gawd knows where for people who want us dead anyhow, and are just using whoever sides with them at the moment.

Are you willing to bankrupt America to support these folks?

Just imagine how awesome they will sound!

I think some of these adagencies saw the opening of Robot Chicken and thought it was a how-to plan.

THIS! A thousands time this! I buy thousands of dollars every year - and multiple tens of thousands before retirement.

And not once have I "found" a place through a web ad, Not once have I even ever clicked on a web ad.

Granted, by this time I block them all, so for the last 5 years, it's a given.

Last time I saw an ad, I had searched for something, a tire from TireRack, and the next dozen pages I went to had - the tire I had searched for on Tire Rack. Stalking me like no one's business. It would be like going into Sears to check on a tire price, and someone from Sears follows you to every store you go to for a week afterwards.

But I still buy thousands each year online. At least for me, present day ad stalkers paradigm is, what's the word?.....Oh yeah, fucking stupid.

So we've entered the endless small war phase. BFD.

More commonly known as the 1st amendment.

Yeah, except that the Patriot Act doesn't violate the first amendment.

A/C is overrated. You can adapt to warmer or colder climates to a certain degree (pun intended). I'm 56 yrs old and went running in 103F just a year ago...well hydrated, and monitoring my HR.

I vote for grape.

Not exactly the Pentagon, and it wasn't today...the article is dated 8 May.

The decision to increase security at U.S. bases was made by Admiral Bill Gortney, commander of the U.S. Northern Command, responsible for troops in North America, Warren said. The decision did not affect bases outside his region.

I remember being sort of for it when it came about...thnking what could go wrong with organizing so many agencies under one umbrella.

I've now seen the damage that can be done...and I'd love to see the DHS split back up again into separate agencies/factions.

Citation?

What election is in six months?

Wait, who was convicted?
