AskI?

What happened at the table?

There were no books

Driving Man

Saw them at the Vic in 1996. I'm old.

Looks like pizza! 5 stars

Oh, shit?

Neill and Reynolds were far too woke

Every time he challenges someone to a fight?

That was the intent of the remix. The band never liked the reverb-heavy mix of the original. Pros and cons to both. The new one is mastered way hotter, which gives some ear fatigue

Interesting. Maybe I'll put that on my summer reading catch-up list

I remember staying up for this. And they busted into Leaving Here as the credits rolled!

Interesting, have not read that one yet

Diem became a hindrance to the goal. I didn't say it was a good goal

So yes, I'm agreeing with you

War of 1812 was not well thought out or executed but Madison did at least make his case to Congress and they voted for it. Other quagmires like Vietnam had misguided understandings of the reality on the ground (and plenty of lying to public) but had at least a coherent mission (however flawed)

There was a time the President would make his case for war to Congress and the people and let Congress decide. Hasn't happened often, but it has happened!

Solid lesson to learn after last night. Maybe ask the Republicans to fund it? They are, in fact, in charge of Congress.

That's a dangerous policy. I think I'd stub my toe on purpose daily!

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

It's been a few years but my memories are that it was not great.
