Meanwhile in America, the historical apologists are still trying to spin the Vietnam War such that they can blame the Democrats for losing it -- this in spite of the fact that quite a great deal of the actual losing and retreating and fucking over allies was during Republican admins.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
They're running the risk of offending Democratic voters. They really ought to spin things the Australians' way.

There was also that thing where we took part in the Vietnam War
I'm still lobbying for this to be called "The American War"...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe I called in a few favours, sold a few firstborn.
And it was worth it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
ita, I thank you for selling your firstborn. Or whoever the fuck's firstborn you sold.
The world thanks you. You took one for the team.

Anyone just hear I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue? 'You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin' to the tune of 'John Brown's Body' was a classic!

I didn't hear it, but I used to love that show, and now it occurs to me I could actually listen to it over the internet, couldn't I? Does Radio Four stream everything? Could I listen to The Archers if I wanted?

'And on that tragic day, an era came to its inevitable end.'
That's all there is.
OK now I know fear. I have read this weeks TV Week on Smidge's bainwave (may count as season 8 spoiler, definitely counts as shark warning)
The real fear is the Marti may think it *a good thing*
