Thank you for the thought: “They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why
don’t we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it’s worked for over 200
years, and heck, we’re not using it any more.”
Thank you for the references or, as we like to call them, reefers. This one: 24 mournful notes. (“The playing of taps to honor
America’s fallen soldiers is a familiar sound, but at thousands of military funerals these days, not
all is as it seems.”) And this one: “Please don’t kill me!” (“With 152 executions under
his belt as governor of Texas, should we really be surprised to learn that … our president, then
governor, mocked a woman after he condemned her to death? Puckering his lips, feminizing his
eyes, and letting out in a desperate squeak, ‘Please don’t kill me!'”)
We’re still not back, but when temptation calls we can’t resist.
