How many pages of small print are the voters expected to read anyhow?

[I figure you know sarcasm when you see it.]

She has never admitted she made a mistake in voting for the war, and I’m not ready for another “leader” who can’t admit they made mistakes.

She is too willing to triangulate, and she still wants insurance companies involved in health care, which is an unnecessary layer of management and expense.

She voted for the war. She won’t say it was a mistake but now she’s against it, just trust her to end it when it’s her turn.

Right?

In the 19th century officers bought their commissions rather than preparing for them, so it is not surprising that Mr Gilbert wasn’t impressed.

Indeed, if Cheney succeeds in forcing a needless and illegal invasion of Iran, things could get a great deal worse.

That video is of a good performance. Between that number and “I am the Monarch of the Sea” from HMS Pinafore, one might think William Schwenk Gilbert was less than impressed with the British military of his day. A Mauser rifle from a javelin, indeed… maybe our own good General should “seek the seclusion that a cabin grants.” 😈
