Your Thursday Molly Ivins moment:
Afghanistan what is nation building Afghanistan To fight—the last place on earth you would choose, if you had a choice.
I am not saying this to oppose the idea that I think we have no choice but to underline that this task is difficult, long and incredibly complex. […] While some of us are searching for the answer to the question, “Why do they hate us?” Radio talk show voices replying, “Who cares? Give them nuclear weapons.” Those who think this isn’t a bad plan should heed an already classic lead by Barry Bierk of The New York Times: “If the Americans Are Seeking to Bomb Afghanistan in the Stone Age, They Should There is no need to go far to know that this country does this. It is a place of mutilated cities, dry land and downtrodden people after the apocalypse.”

Derp!to rumble in BadgerState Forest. I’m writing this recap of the August 23 Fox News GOP primary debate Milwaukee on May 25th so I can enjoy my summer in peace. But I’m in no mood to think about the 2024 election three months in advance, I have to complain again about how I’m in no mood to think about the 2024 presidential election 15 months before that terrible event . So I raided my archives circa 2011 and found my notes from that year’s Fox debates. I’m sure nothing has changed:
» Social Security is a Ponzi scheme.

Last night’s episode of Star Trek was much better.
» Any sentence making a positive reference to the death penalty is certainly a line of praise. “I love cheeseburgers with BBQ sauce, bacon, and the death sentence.” [Rah!!!]
» Climate change is not supported by science. It is a myth, a hoax and/or a benevolent conspiracy to introduce socialism to the galaxy.

» Our Drinking Game: We take a sip every time someone says “failed policies of the past” and we take a shot every time someone says eliminate a government program or agency.
Everything perfectly accurate even in 2023, except for one exception: Donald Trump murdered Herman Cain at a rally in broad daylight with COVID-19. oklahoma In 2020 because he knew that Cain was a true threat to him. Of course, if you ask Trump spokesman Stephen Miller if this actually happened, he would certainly say this: “No! No! No!”

Here in the BiPM family, I’m not sure we’ve ever really thrown out the old bag of chips. When one is about an inch into pieces, we simply buy a new bag and leave the old one in the cupboard, and make a “mental note” to “finish that old bag before starting on the new one.” Give.” never happens. And now we have Nixon-era chip bags gathering dust and whatnot. Potato DNA is possibly coalescing into a super potato brain that will create a crude body out of potato bags and devastate several cities, before finally a giant semblance of French onion dip dropped from a helicopter Let it be brought down by And when that day comes, I’m sure someone will remember to update George Krum’s Wikipedia page accordingly.
