#2 Good plan, Grom, simple, easily distributed and no doubt effective. A funny aftertaste will not faze organi-food dupes. I prefer radioactive stuff though because I am, well, Atomic Conspiracy.
I love the Bomb, too, but it's a strange love.

#3 That this sadistic thug's face also adorns the office of a US presidential candidate's supporters is appalling and disgraceful. That the candidate couldn't bring himself to say so is even worse.

How about insightful?

#4 "While watching the endless pundit blather on TV tonight after the Republican Michigan Primary and Democratic Nevada Debate and reading the various opinion meisters commentaries online, I had one of those rare zen moments of simplicity. It all comes down to a simple question:

Who would you like to be in the White House if Pakistan fell to al Qaeda and the Islamists gained control of its nuclear arsenal?

Answer that question and you will know your candidate. All the rest, as they say, is commentary."

Roger L. Simon

#5 Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

Having said that, I don't think JFK would find much in common with today's Democratic Party.

#6 I had one of those rare zen moments of simplicity: Who would you like to be in the White House if Pakistan fell to al Qaeda and the Islamists gained control of its nuclear arsenal?

Answer that question and you will know your candidate.

Two thoughts: 1) although Roger L. Simon asks the right question, he has no clue about Zen (unless he's talking about the Zenster) and 2) it's doubful the American electorate will be that thoughtful in selecting a president. At one time I thought the Dems would pay for all their shenanigans they've pulled during wartime; but today people seem more focused on the "morality" of bottled water.

#7 Iff various January 2008 News aricles on "CAMELOT" + JFK are to be believed, JFK was increasing/fortifying the US commmitment to Vietnam and agz Cuba, NOT decreasing it.

#8 #2 Poison granola with radioactive material---though, personally, I prefer cholera toxin.
