    I listened to “Ike” in person as a kid from about 50 feet away during a campaign stopover for his first election in 52. I have never forgot that he was lamenting the fact that because of overspending, that the Federal Budget for the next year would be a whopping 72 Billion Dollars ! and I was damn concerned as a 9 year old………

    During the 48 campaign, we kids in my small farming town would torment Democrats and Republicans alike depending on their party affiliation by paraphrasing the Lucky Strike motto, LS/MFT and yelling out ” Lord save me from Truman, or “If you want to be human, vote for Truman; if you want to be screwy, vote for Dewey”. Lucky we weren’t tarred and feathered !

    But please, don’t ask me where I left my reading glasses 5 minutes ago !

    BTW: any one heard hide or hair from San Diego Marc?

    During the 48 campaign, we kids tormented voters of our small town of both

    BTW: Everyone here in the Spokane area has been undergoing a kaleidescope of emotions during the past week. This morning, President Obama presented our local hero soldier, the Medal of Honor at the White House.

    Last week, another hero, Shorty, who was only 5 ft. tall, was brutally slain outside the Eagle’s Lodge by 2, 16 year old thugs in a Robbery attempt. He died a few hours later, Shorty, 88 , fought in the bloody battle of Okinawa during WW2 and took a bullet there. His funeral will be Thursday and I’ll participate in the Patriot Guard Rider motorcycle funeral escort. I would expect thousands for the Service. Both Perps have been arrested and will face Murder 1 charges as adults.

    I hope the Devil Incarnate thinks twice before he takes the US into WWIII, which the US will not win.
    Especially as, so far from the published data, there is no proof as to which side used the chemical weapons.

    CFS:

    My thoughts as well. Sounds like another war that we can ill afford with both sides hating us even more when the smoke clears.

      Did you happen to see the picture on the front page of today’s WSJ?

      Did you evrr think it would comr to thst?

    350 people get killed by chemical attack, so US lobs in a couple of hundred cruise missiles and kills another few hundred…..that makes no sense. (Cruise missiles cost $1million a piece.)
    The Russians and Chinese support their ally Assad and sink a few cruise missile launch destroyers. These ships are between $500million and $1 billion a piece.) That makes even less sense for the US.

    Then WWIII starts because the STUPID American politicians don’t want to lose face. US loses the war and, of course, loser pays reparations. Now we are talking $tens of trillions. MAKES NO SENSE.
    And if the politicians think they will be safe in bunkers, they better understand they will never be safe afterwards from assassination from really p*ssed-off Americans and I will be one of them, if I survive.

      Forced home inspections will not be allowed in my home. I guarantee it!

    You do not have the “right” to stop them!

    Also, in general:
