Do the bad guys in the Middle East get a new name every two or three years as a way to prevent the Forever War from becoming routine and mundane?
Is it true that when the post 9-11 investigation into finding who had profited by selling airline stocks short began to lead towards two high profile Republican Senators, the funds for the effort disappeared?
The SLA (Scotland Liberation Army) will take their battle for a free and independent land to the voting booths next week. Good luck!
After hearing the President address the nation on Wednesday night, we were tempted to make an effort to find the text for Robert Jackson's opening statement at the Nuremburg War Crimes Trial (it's available online) but then we realized that if we found some passages in that bit of oratory that condemned the actions President Obama announced, most Americans wouldn't give a f-f-f-arthing. Who was it said: "My country, right or wrong, my country!"?
[Homework assignment: Find (Google hint: "Robert Jackson Nuremberg opening") and read the lead American prosecutor's opening statement at the War Crimes Trial and then, after making a determination if bombing ISIS in Syria would fit the criteria for a crime against peace found there, write a 1000 word essay agreeing or not, post it on a social media site, and then give yourself a B+ grade for following orders unquestioningly.]
Some folks who read our column regularly (or even sporadically) wonder if the World's Laziest Journalist feels disappointed that after many moons of criticizing the Bush war in Iraq, President Obama now wants us to fully endorse it. Our philosophy of life was encountered early in life when we saw "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" in its initial release. Our life was given a guiding philosophy because of this line: "Oh laugh, Curtin, old boy. It's a great joke played on us by the Lord, or fate, or nature, whatever you prefer. But whoever or whatever played it certainly had a sense of humor!"
Our challenge to the disk jockey was to find songs that fit the qualification "If you haven't heard this song done live by the band, then you have never really heard this song at all!" He will now play the Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit," Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run," and the Rolling Stones "Honky-tonk Woman." We have to go help a friend by throwing a radio into their bath tub when we hear the appropriate musical note. Have a "call in an airstrike" type week.
