The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

There are rumors of a Twenty-one Son Galoot being spotted at the last July 4th parade in Salt Lake City.

Two "l's".

An eccentric person - e.g. everyone at Grogheads.

By that definition, doesn't Yosemite Sam qualify?

QuoteA Russian destroyer had to open warning fire as a Turkish fishing vessel sailed on a collision course towards them and didn't respond to calls from the warship, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

The incident happened in the northern part of the Aegean Sea some 12 nautical miles from the Greek island of Lemnos, the ministry said.

The crew of the Kashin-class guided missile destroyer Smetlivy spotted the Turkish fishing trawler some 1,000 meters from the Russian warship early on Sunday morning, the ministry said. The ship was sailing towards the destroyer and ignored calls for radio contact and other attempts to communicate.

What would have happened if Churchill had gone with an opinion poll instead of writing his "We shall fight them on the beaches" speech?

I would love for you to make the case that Obama deserves to stand in Churchill's shadow.

What would have happened if the French would have challenged Hitler sending troops into the Rhineland or if Chamberlain hadn't rolled over  for Hitler's demands in Czechoslovakia.

Hitler would have backed down and WW2 would have happened a few years later, but Adm. Raeder would have gotten to build his battlewagon-and carrier-heavy Kriegsmarine instead of the KM-lite he got stuck with.
