it's a simplistic view I know...but that's why I'm not running this country...

Paisjpq: So well put! But this old dog is tired.....

I support the war on drugs. We're winning!!

The interesting thing is that practically any war will be popular as long as we win. If you look at the polls on the Iraq war, the vast majority of Americans were happy that we invaded Iraq even a couple of years into the war. Even after they knew that we didn't find any WMDs, the vast majority of Americans still thought it was good that we went into Iraq. The only reason the war has become unpopular is because the war is not going well.

I would pretty much say the same for Vietnam. If we would have gone in there and won the war, most Americans would say that it was a great idea.

I guess most Americans are very results oriented.

you have not been around lately all that much.
Bill Clinton was not our hero.

That is the truest (most true?) thing you've ever said. And yes, regardless of right or wrong in intent, I agree that the winning side tends to think the war they won was a good idea and the losing side that it wasn't.

I'm currently fighting the Battle of the Bulge.

you don't count them if you take one at a time off the plate and walk away while eating....or if you eat those that stuck together, or the ones who break in half. or the chips that fall by the wayside....

OMG; I didn't know your second job was at Starbucks!

I am both proud and embarrassed to say I help pay Kev's wage virtually every day... curse you, Starbucks, and your chai tea deliciousness...
