Dialogue Concerning Syria

Sun, 05 May 2013 23:33:47 -0400

Netanyahu: Yo, Barack, you gonna do something about this Syria mess?
Obama: First, don't "yo" me. Second, I don't know if the red line was crossed yet...
Netanyahu: Sorry about the yo, but this shit is getting out of control on our doorsteps man. Someone's gotta do something about it.
Obama: Well, I suggest you lay...

BOOOOOM

...low... what the f*ck was that?
Netanyahu: We took out a number of Fateh-110 Missiles before they get into Hezbollah hands.
Obama: Oh, ok.
Netanyahu: So you gonna do something now?
Obama: Um... all options are still on the table.
Netanyahu: Ya, that's what I thought.

Former Congressman Charlie Wilson has passed away.

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 00:24:52 -0400

Former Congressman Charlie Wilson was one tough SoB, as his political opponents found out the hard way. Nor was Charlie gentle on the Soviets, who he ensured suffered greatly in Afghanistan from “American” supplied arms. While his track record and legacy may be debated, his influence may not. His name will be remembered in the hallways of history as a committed yet unorthodox Cold Warrior.
