If it lasts longer than 4 hours consult your doctor.

Then there's the bailouts, never thought I would look back on the Nixonian era with any kind of wistfulness. At least those fuckers were amateurs!

True. America is losing it's virility. Instead of taking on huge projects like putting a man on the moon, and totally inspiring the world, it is now putting all of it's energy into being afraid of Iran.

....and Obama.
On another board a man in Australia made the comment;
"In WW2 America fought a multifront war and pretty much carried us to victory against the Axis Powers. Now, after spending ten years fighting a bunch of goat farmers you've had little success. What do you think that tells the rest of the world?"

That we should have learned that we lose -- or tie -- "limited wars?"
I'm not saying it was tasteful but there was a fad of vets in my area, prior to 1990, wearing shirts that said:
United States Military
2-1-1, all on the road

All that tells me is there are pissants everywhere, I bet any of the older generation in Australia give that wag a kick in the nuts, while asking,
"So, laddy you like sushi,eh? Stand up and let me give you another cause you're gonna be singin' Waltzing Matilda before I'm through with you, you ungrateful wretch!"
Alternatively, aforementioned wags mum was the illegitimate offspring of a GI on R & R who after spending a little time on New Guinea defending the northern approaches caught the eye of one of those pretty Aus girls! .
