All I have to say about W's address

[kellinator]

Say that I trash my mother's house, and as she's standing there in shock, I waltz in and say "no worries, Mom, I take responsibility for this."

Then rather than cleaning up the mess, I wander around, throwing some more trash on the floor while I'm at it.

That is not taking responsibility. And it's sad that American discourse has been reduced to what you say, not what you do. 

Can the mess even be cleaned up? At this point, probably not.

We got damn lucky in Vietnam. It was in a corner of the world everyone else was willing to ignore, so eventually the chaos went away. The Middle East is pretty much permanently in chaos, both from without and within, between feuding ethnic groups and the oil the whole world wants at any cost. And now, the whole region's liable to blow like a powder keg. I am absolutely not bullshitting you when I tell you I really do fear for the future.

While spreading more garbage around your mom's house, you'd also be telling her about how your brother has been looking suspicious lately and you might need to trash his house if he doesn't back off.

It really sounds like the motherfucker wants to fight a war on US soil.

My summary: the floggings will continue until morale improves.

That is all.

that pretty much sums it up
