Re: Are we really going to bomb Iran?

So options are

1) Bluff
2) Make regular bombing look good
3) crazy enough to bomb Iran

My prediction; he's going to bomb with something because of the rally-round the flag issue to help retain a Republican majority. Nukes or regular bombs will depend which will win the most votes; actual effects on the world or the U.S. will be considered only as they affect short term personal power for the Bush adminstration, Bush cronies, and a Republican majority. It is possible that turning the rest of the world against us could get enough Americans turning to a "strong leader in an emergency" to help keep the Republicans in office not only through the midterm but even past that. Cause, ya know if our leader kills a few million people, and the rest of the world doesn't like it, a lot of USAians will feel underappreciated, and angry at how ungrateful those un-Americans are.

You know the old saying about not attributing to malice what can be explained by stupidity? Right now, I'm really, really hoping that is wrong; because another old saw doesn't apply just to angels. Fools rush in where the wicked fear to tread.

At first, I read this as suggestions to ita concerning her tights dilemna. It works semi-ok.

NOODLES.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hmm.

I thought "laugh it up, monkey boy" was a Buckaroo Banzai quote. But IMDB lists "Laugh-a while you can, monkey-boy." Is the quote from somewhere else, or am I mashing it up?

My legs are cold.

I think you're conflating it with Han Solo's "Laugh it up, Fuzzball" to Chewie.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

You might be conflating it with "Laugh it up, fuzzball" from Empire Strikes Back.

ETA: I just knew that was going to be an x-post.

It gets a weirdly large (211) number of hits, considering. And I see some of them are like msbelle and me and thinking Banzai.

I'm disappointed now, because it lacks the pop culture heft I thought it had.
