  1. Oh, and the 9/11 mob--all Iranians, right?

  2. I mean, given the way that Obama has been cozying up to America's enemies, like Iran, ...

    As opposed to our "friends" like Saudi Arabia, who just want us to supply them as they champion *their* brand of Islamic fundamentalism in the ongoing tussle between Sunni and Shia, right?

    This just provides evidence that you're very shortsighted, and that Obama is not.

    1. Tomatoes, carrots, and spinach aren't staple crops. All three could die out completely and all would be fine. Corn not being produced at high rates would lead back to the old days of poor people around the globe, even here, starving to death.

    Just because you consider corn an essential staple doesn't mean that the rest of the world does.

    2. Low population states are over represented in the senate and house? Might want to take a civics lesson and learn how your country was made and is governed.

    Why yes, they are. Maybe you should learn to do some simple maths.

    It'd already got to the point a few years ago where I made it a point to stop telling people I was a "writer"...

    "You mean you're one of those lowlifes who copies & pastes all those stupid fake stories--like where it turns out the woman was standing in front of a life-size model of a shark in a museum and they photoshopped the beach behind her--to 50 different places on the Internet?"

    Since then, I describe myself as an "author" or a "documentation engineer" instead.

    The vet may actually be selling it to placebo (sorry for using it as an adj.) calm anxieties of the pet owner.

    Thank you for letting us know how disappointing it must be when you realise that, "I voted for the winner!" sounds a bit hollow when it's coupled with, "But I'm still a wilful idiot who's jealous of anyone who isn't one".
