#3  Wow, john, how fine is thy rapier. Sooo sorry I failed you - I thought it was Rantburg, not the "john" blog - how foolish of me. Have a nice lie down, it will pass.

#1  Trigger trip...

I have to say that much of the "news" today blurs into a single pasty smear. The stories, suchs as this one, follow a form so regular that my initial reaction, regardless of venue or topic, is approaching unity.

"Well of course they did. That's what they do."

And, more often that it should, I presume, that's where it ends. Perhaps being bereft of curiosity is the landmark, the very important milestone or marker on the road to whatever. It's something of a concern to me, for I fully bought off on the Bobby Zimmerman line:
"He not busy being born is busy dying."

I guess when the urge to rant stops occurring, then it will truly be Q.E.D., lol!

Sheesh.

And "Sheesh" works pretty well, too, as a summation. As it's a single word, it approaches unity of elegance. I haven't visited him in ages, now, but I guess the I-Pundit's "Heh" is a strong contender for ultimate response. I still have hope, however, since the Team America gag line / tag line was revealed to mine ears...

"Fuck Yeah!"

Okay, I'm thinking I'll go with that.
