#1 p.s. There's a whole bunch of Sarah Hoyt's posts on Instapundit that are well worth reading (but I already said "Sarah Hoyt's")

#2 You don't want a Pajama Boy to deal with scoundrels, scallywags, crooks and and hard-core leftists.

#3 Yep, Trump and Bolton will be a formidable pair to deal with the multiple nasty characters out there.

#4 I once worked on a rug shampooing crew during my college years. I really really really got tired of their foul language. One day I lost it, and decided to out-curse / out-profane / out-obscene whatever they came up with. And I discovered I have a real knack for that. Not only did I not get punched in the nose, they seemed rather scared of me, and their own language became much tamer and easier to put up with. Maybe I was giving them an outlet, too. I think Trump's "undignified" behavior and his "mis" use to Twitter has served a very similar function.

#5 When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember.

#6 "Ten Zebras Bit My Rooster" helped anatomy students memorize the 5 branches of the facial nerve, too.

#7 There are far more "dirty" mnemonics because they stick, like the way I learned resistors

0 BlackBad
1 Brown - Boys
2 Red - Rape
3 Orange - Our
4 Yellow - Young
5 Green - Girls
6 Blue - But
7 Violet - Violet
8 Grey - Gives
9 White - Willingly
Tolerance: Gold/Silver/None 5 10 20 =
Get Some Now

And don't get me started on the anatomy ones - they get nasty in a hurry.

Facial Nerve I learned, by the way is:

Two Zebras Buggered My Cat

Or

Tricky Zipper Bit My ~~C...~~ Rooster.
