During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Good article

important to move away from the visceral lets just bomb them type of rhetoric that our politicians love to use as sound bytes.

This is why I'm concerned that Israel will resort to nukes in an attack on Iran if they feel backed into a corner.

If Israel really feels backed into a corner, they'll nuke Iran and anyone else they think is a threat.

If it happens, whoever they nuke, the world will be a very different and much scarier place afterwards.

Israel isn't nuking anyone.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

QuoteTo put it bluntly, the risk of escalation poses such extreme and costly risks, that few in the profession of arms recommend this course of action for achieving the limited objective of destroying Iran's nuclear program. Iran can hit back, and they can hit back hard.

Limited objective?

Seriously?

The problem isn't "managing escalation" after bombing Iran. It's whether we attempt to manage escalation before they have a nuke, or after they have a nuke and become seriously enthusiastic about spreading terror around the globe with the extra trillion bucks Obama is giving them.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
