Mexico is being bought up by Spanish corporations. The erstwhile New Spain is becoming more Spanish than ever. Yet it's said that Spanish interests support the Zapatistas.

No matter how much you shout and wave your arms there's no guarantee that anyone will notice.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. But being without your very own AOA Forums offishul Case Badge is terrible. PM me, we'll fix this! They are free of charge.

Does this seem to be a nearly fruitless task? Now that you mention it, no!

The Centcom commander that was outspoken against attacking Iran has retired. A fresh voice in the wilderness of madness, we salute you Admiral Fallon.

Saluting a Navy guy? Sure, why not, they live under the same weights that the other services do.

The Coast Guard is the only military service that does useful work every day. When my draft number was nearly up in the ancient days of Viet-Nam, I called up the Coast Guard recruiter.
"Thank you for your interest in the United States Coast Guard," said the man on the phone. "Can I ask you a few questions?" he continued.
"Sure" I replied.
"Do you wear glasses?" he inquired.
"Yes," I replied.
"Too bad," said he.

They can afford to be choosey when the maw of Uncle Sam is nearly around your neck. I hope that the C.G. isn't destroyed by being under The Department of Homeland(hey, that's not really an American word) Security.

Will a new preznit aright the crooked ship of state? Perhaps a starry-eyed idealist could help, if only a bit. But they never run for office.

I get my coffee mail-order from free trade Zapatistas. It's really, really good coffee, shade grown, organic, and delicious. Unfortunately it probably landed me on some Mexican gov't list that says I support terrorism or something.

Anyway, the only thing better than free trade revolutionary coffee is an AOA case badge. It improved the overclock on my rigs by 13%*

*Results not guaranteed

But peace is so boring. Far more humans prefer peace, just ask them. No, not recon by fire. Argh let's change the vocabulary, PLEASE. The movie It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World left out a few "mads."

Is the bull in the proverbial china shop there because we let it in? Or are we the bull? What did Pogo say? What's a Pogo? Google, why not?

Puzzactly! Some folks don't need Google for some salient facts.
I'm using ask.com instead when I remember to. Why? Maybe they're not as flippin' nosy and have less of an elephantine memory. Maybe.
