Plan B Forum

I heard the same Gulf War II era joke but slightly differently. SecDef to GWB: "Three Brazilian troops were wounded last night." GWB looks suitably saddened. "Remind me: exactly how many is a brazillion?"

I don't think it has ever been settled. McCain of course was born in Panama to US parents on military duty and there was never any hint of an argument from Democrats that he was ineligible. The Constitution, if it means born within the 50 states (or however many there were at the time of the birth) ...

The first clue that the man is a mental pygmy (apart from anything else) is the statement on his faculty web page ( https://www.kent.edu/history/profile/julio-cesar-pino ) that he is "listed in Who's Who in American Education and Who's Who in America."

I thought about that. They will send me a copy of the receipt which I will post here. It's the least I can do to let everyone know that you do, in fact, pay your debts and that what they say about you just isn't true. You're a gent, LJ. (Doffs cap.)

I said earlier: Of course, if you read the blogs it's Obama's fault. Sorry, I forgot about LJ. LJ are you still working on that $20 you owe me? I know I gave you a few years to save up but come on, it's 12 years now and you should be getting close. I have a long memory . . . . Trouble is nowadays I ...

Something about this is very fishy, or else the navigational abilities of the average US sailor is just off-the-charts bad. Or non-existent. From Kuwait to Bahrain is a straight run -- I have done it by car a few dozen times and once most of the way by sea. It's about 300 miles either way. The ship ...

. . . Yet another LCH refugee. In one month I have lost two friends I never met but to whom I owe a great deal. Tess and Denniz, who went far too soon. So 2015 ended badly; and 2016 is not promising so far with David Bowie and Alan Rickman passing through. I am an Englishman living in the middle of ...
