#2 Another case of action and consequences. People in this country have that lesson to learn, too. Like the Russians say, "Tough Schitskies" Sila. Explain that to your electorate.

#3 What! You mean we got what we asked for with our anti-military posturing? How dare the Navy do what we demanded! Yet more proof of the danger of militarism in the American Empire. The only reasonable compromise is to close the base as scheduled, but keep sending us the money. We can use it for anti-American education programs. See -- we are open to compromise.

#5 We're leaving a military base after a local government asked us to go? In the distance.....I think I hear sphincters tightening in Germany, South Korea, Turkey......

#6 Maybe Puerto Rico will finally fish or cut bait, that is become a state or go their own way.

I love the turning the land over the US Department of the interior. Let them fight the sierra club and greenpeace in order to develop.

#10 I just had this weird thought. We stay the course, clean up the middle east, everyone loves each other, Kimmie craters economically and N Korea comes back into the world, everybody takes personal responsibility, we buy the world a Coke, and then this big asteroid is discovered barrelling down toward earth....and the world, together, says a giant collective Oh S--t!...........I need a break.
