Spot on, even though no mention
of "Chaplain" or "Candy for kids".
Well, I guess that "b" actor and "b" president
found out about that "Heaven & Hell" feces.
huh?
What?
Dr Cole, another good post.
Question: What ever happened
to the "Restricted" classification?
Is it still in use by some?
“Civilization will not attain to its perfection until the last stone from the last church falls on the last priest.” – Émile Zola
I believe this guy was on to something.

Dr Cole,
The last paragraph needs a flak-vest.
Forever Dixie!
Make that Texaco.
Dear Leaders,
Graciously turndown a ride in a APC.
Regards,
John
Another good one, Dr Cole.
Well, there's always the "Ruskys"!
Body counting, again?
"The Way West"?
The Fifties all over again?
I guess there are those that could say that Iran
and North Korea have been "Singled Out" too.
Dear Mr President,
It's past time to sack Hagel and Dempsey.
Best Regards,

SOS all over again!
Makes on wonder if non-white
people of the USA have that
exceptional feeling when trying
to vote, buy or rent a home,
and other everyday exceptional
things.
Tell them it will be the
SOS all over again.
"Again, we are the good guys,"...........
Any Port in a storm, comes to mind.
If you have Drones,
you don't need an APC.
Attention Floridians!
Come to DC in a seaplane
and bring your scuba gear.
And, above all, don't let
your cigarettes get wet.
Whew, now a shift to the
"Automatic/Semi-Automatic
Routine".
Next, may I expect the
"Gun vs People" feces?
".... Chicago (6 killed, 16 wounded) or New Orleans (4 killed, 15 wounded)...."
Jack, you keep blowing your cover.
Another good two,
above and below,
Mr Grumpy
.... "CHICAGO"....
What, no mention of "rhythm".
Not to worry, my lot in Florida
is thirteen feet above sea level.
Augh oh.......Tide!!!
Conservatism is an anomaly.
Scratch......"ordinary American"....
Make that "Americans", or
better yet, "People".
Bundy is a "Common Garden Variety Racist", by definition.
He is a typical, out of the closet, Republican Base Voter.
Gee, not even a "got rhythm" credit from Brooks.
"interjecting facts"
"partisan demagoguery"
"I"
"homosexuality or abortion "......
"suffering the little children.".......
"as a conservative".............................
"Christian adherents"...."God".......
"Old Testament"
"me"
In a word, No!
Oh, come on, Dr. Cole!
They are PO'd because they have to
do the dishes when they get home.
No!
"Trained Ape" made my dog's ears stand up!
My uneducated guess is that it's
the never ending "Apple People"
versus "Banana People" argument.
It's a Boeing, not an Ilyushin.
"On the heels of last year’s humiliating third failure of the premier U.S. missile defense system during what was billed as a fairly simple flight trial, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is doubling down on the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) program by adding more than $4.5 billion to the Missile Defense Agency’s coffers from fiscal 2015-2019, according to Riki Ellison, chairman of the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance.
Thus far, the Pentagon has spent more than $157 billion developing various missile defenses, a portion of it on GMD technologies.
In the Pentagon’s forthcoming budget request, which is slated for delivery next month to Congress, Hagel is planning to specifically request higher funding for GMD, according to defense sources. The goal is to turn the tide in what some say has become an atrophied focus on testing and evolving technology for the program, and hopefully score an intercept this spring.
Additionally, he will propose at least $1.5 billion across the plan to develop a new radar to spot missiles from North Korea, while potentially shifting the massive, floating Space-Based X-Band system to the East Coast to monitor for attacks from an increasingly bellicose Iran." - AW&ST
Question for Nye:
If there is gravity, why does
asparagus grow up, not down?
Excellent response, Mr. Watson,
I couldn't agree more with your
comments.
Does his "History" include the Palenstinians?
Another example of "Unfettered Capitalism" in action.
"Never mind what I told you--you do as I tell you" - WC Field.
Dear Bill,
I fail to read a
qualifier in his
"dictum".
What, may I ask,
makes you ask
that question?
Regards,
J. Hansen
Try satire with your
next cup, Mr. Grumpy.
There's extreme risk being
born into great wealth.
You are very welcome, Dr. Cole
Another good one, Dr. Cole.
Wishing you good luck with
a biblical muster.
Will this cause the price of,
my favorite, rhubarb pie to
skyrocket?
Capitalism in action!
As well it should!
You missed the third
"Big One" in the room.
Let me get this straight,
if one gets shot at, hit
or miss, one should be
a "Good Person" forever
more?
MacArthur supposedly
had "combat experience"
during The Great War,
that's why he was called
"Dugout Doug" by the
troops.
And, how about Pershing
in Mexico?
Westmoreland in WW2?
Franks in Vietnam?
If you can't trust your Generals,
e.g. MacArthur (aka "Dugout Doug")
of "Bonus Marchers" clean-up fame;
Westmoreland of "Five O'clock Follies";
Franks of "Yes Sir, How High"
Petraeus of "Listen to Me, I Know
What's Going On"; and Powell of
"WMD Mobile Labs" with a pinch
of "My Lai", just to mention
a few, then who(m) can you trust?
Well, maybe just pay them more.

Excellent reply, Mr. Watson
SOS all over again.
Like gravity, some
things never change.
Some of these people
are the grandchildren
of the children eating
ice cream while watching
a lynching back in the
"Good Ole Days".
Google "Sundown Towns"
for how it was in the good
old U.S. of A.
Make that "you".
In the Norte, I believe they
are known as "Ward Bosses".
So it's down to almost calling
you a "Communist Sympathizer".
Shades of McCarthyism.
Right on!, Dr. Cole.
alec,
Thank you for the information.
My pic will soon be opening
in living colour, minus the
W.C. Fields Syndrome, of
course.
OK, my check is in the mail
and my replies are semi-
wonderful.
My check will be in the mail
if you will tell me how to
have my mug-shot displayed
with my wonderful replies.
Excellent reply Mr. Grumpy,
we seem to be on the same
bit-rate.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Excellent Comment, Dr. Cole.
It's the same old people stuff,
over and over again, since
the days of bones and rocks.
Even if only one person is
is involved, self haters could
hit themselves in the head
with a rock.
After eighty years, I'll
"Throw Up My Hands"!
(Not to Bill, though)
Makes me wonder if NSA has
an Icon labeled "JTMcPhee".
Dear Bill,
Excellent "Second Guessing"
ninety-five years after the
fact.
Add another lash to Duke's
dead horse.
Regards,
J. L. Hansen
You are repeating the SOS that was said
about Blacks during the Korean War, OK
Bill, Korean Conflict, plus they were thought
to be unreliable and would "Bug Out" at the
earliest opportunity.
Dear Bill,
Reads like you have relapsed
to "Not Nice" typing.
Remember to be Nice and Don't
Hit Other Kids.
Regards,
Johnny
Make that a "98 pound weakling".
Is a bully still kicking sand in
a weaklings face on the last page?
Dear Bill,
Or so you type with
your usual ration
of gobbledygook.
Regards,
J. Hansen
Good one, with several good replies, Dr. Cole.
I read "change" not "lead".
Yes!
It's good to be a White pseudo
Christian living in the USA!
At least for now, anyway.
It's all about the Buck$
and the distribution
thereof, with attendant
excuse for greed.
(Feel free with sic)
Dear Bill,
Plea Satire!
Regards,
John Hansen
Is that a sequitur?
Iraq was a Buck$(oil) and
Jock-strap(macho) issue.
genocide n: the deliberate
and systematic destruction
of a racial, political, or
cultural group.
The Clown Car will be parked at the
Capitol until November 2014.
Hopefully, after that, it will be
towed to a junkyard in Texas.
Like the Rio Grande, this is
a black and white situation.
Excellent comment, Bernard!
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei could be basing
his assumptions on Washington's past
dealings with Chief Crazy Horse.
I don't believe that Mr. President has sold out
to the Plantation Owners.
My guess is as good as all of the Commenters
factual-guesses.
It should, but....
Excellent Comment, Dr. Cole
Bill and Joe will have a field day with your
spelling of Will Rogers.
On target again, Dr. Cole
Dear Bill,
Actually, Truman got a mandate
from the UN after the fact.
Also, your reply has nothing to
do with the fact that there is
a stalemate.
P.S. Glad to read that you have
quit calling people not nice names.
Regards,
John (Korean War Veteran)
Another good one, Dr.Cole.
I look forward to not having that "Red
Chinaman" and "Muslim" under my bed.
