#2 Yeah, a nice nuanced war that won't intrude into the news cycle.

Shock and awe isn't just about massive bombing, although that part *is* fun. It is about conducting maneuver warfare at a pace the enemy cannot match. It takes personnel, not just a few 'advisors'. It takes commitment.

#8 JFK say, "Me love you long time!"
Till he was cut down in his prime.
A profile in courage!
A headful of porridge!
"Oops, mom's calling. Must dash. Suppertime!"

#11 creative jealousy.

God forbid. I make poopie. You, I gather... well...

When hipsters and artists all smirk
And imply you're a rough-handed jerk,
Just you sing Kumbaya,
Frank, and help to end war --
Building bridges is man's noblest work!

Heh.
