Ping.

I’ve spent time in the Philippines while Marcos was in power, in Vietnam while the Commies were/are in power, in Venezuela with the thug in power and there is little doubt that The One gets a serious woody whenever he thinks about acquiring that sort of power.

I was there too, GL, but never in Venezuela.

Had the misfortune of returning from a TDY during the Marcos/Osmeña presidential elections. The mayor of San Narcisso (just a few klicks down the road from San Magoo) was a supporter of Osmeña and both he and his wife were found hacked to death one morning before election day. We were all restricted to base a week before the election but the event agravated our confinement to two weeks after the elections as well..

Rất nhàm chán!

I've got a feeling that we'll see riots in the streets, mayhem on the order of the late '60s and early 70's this summer as the 2010 midterm elections approach.

Viagra for Obama.

Obama’s sense of inferiority and disaffection found solace in communism and now his appetite for power grows to satiate his addiction for control.
