#2 no mention of ISIS using chlorine gas hmmmmm?

I seem to remember hearing questions about who was doing what to whom when this crap first surfaced. A plague on all their houses (including Kerry's).

#6 Disagree; if the shit was swallowed UK, France, and USA would have gone air war at the Red Line Crossing.

This looks like a sales pitch to me; Assad is a very naughty person, and if we kill him it is so kids can go back to school. This is my Tough Face, when lawyers go to war, when a peter snowflake who made his name by diplomating with the enemy, sacrificing at the altar of anti-war, married privilage, called the military a bunch of rampaging barbarian imbeciles, and is tasked to cause harm using the US military.

Its like a Chiefs fan hoping the Broncos pick up Herm Edwards as offensive coordinator.

#7 Born in KC, I'm a lifelong Chiefs fan - which is a hard thing to be - Herm is right up there with Hezbollah in my thinking - he is an engine of destruction (destroying offenses that is).

#9 (borgboy, you can appreciate this then - lots of new blue Royals ball caps. Wearing mine, bit faded, was asked, "Wow, Royals are having a good year aren't they!?"
"Yeah, haven't been this optimistic about a division win since Pena took the team into a fair lead into August."
"???...who? when was that?"
"Back when the Chiefs averaged 38 points per game.")

#10 swk-Several years ago I made the mistake of wearing my blue Royals cap to Candlestick Park. In the parking lot after the game, a group of Giants fans menacingly walking behind me - I turned around and seeing it wasn't a Dodger cap they backed off. Two days later I was driving down I-5 to San Diego. There was a detour off the freeway to a rough side of town. The natives had taken down all the detour signs to return to the freeway. I stopped in a convenience/liquor store to ask directions back to I-5. I was still wearing my blue Royals cap. The natives were all wearing red caps. I literally had to slowly back out of the store while keeping a stern face since the natives already had their knives out. Once I got to the store, my then girlfriend said she was ready to use the car to is all 100% true - thankfully I now live in a 'blue' area of Tucson. Having said all that - GO ROYALS!
