CodeToad, are you still going on with this? You need a good ____. It will relax you.
Your country is being taken over by communists and you’re worried about looking good?
No, not at all. I am very concerned about civil war, whatever you want to call it. We are angry. However, our survival bags are packed, guns are loaded, and we have marked our route out of Atlanta, if need be.
Its the WaPoo... what does journalism have to with it ?
Oh come on. That was a mostly peaceful military exercise.
