#1 Headline panic..... What's being fired, the general or the nukes????
Probably got a wrong answer on the LGBQT attitude quiz.
Shame that the question of competence isn't the first thing to come to mind reading an article like this.

#2 In my more paranoid moments all of these generals being purged gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Is there a 7 days in May scenario in the wind, is there a night of the long knives going on, is this clearing the battle space for the OFA army to make a play?????

NSA, IRS, NPS, etc. are not paranoid fantasy they're fact.

#3 Maybe just bottle or zipper problems, though that's mundane and doesn't fire up conspiracy theorists. Even in the age of obooboo, there are bound to be one or two coincidences that still look ripe for more malign explanations...

#7 Shipman: are you saying he wouldn't stop trying to sell corningware-type stuff to the JCS, or he wouldn't buy it from them?

#8 Snowy, it's all about the circles. You're in or you're out. Everyone in can get rich, rich, rich and save money on household products you use everyday, it's that simple. And tapes, maybe he was trying to move too many motivational tapes, these things happen, but it doesn't sully the underlying promise of neighbors selling to neighbors and getting rich, rich, rich by by selling household products you use ever day.

#9 "Gee, maybe I could make that missile's CEP a lot smaller if only you'd buy some of these professional restaurant-grade baking racks with the deluxe enamel coating..."
