Shutting down continued discussion on issues that Clinton is flawed on is dangerous. It was important to continue discussion on issues that Obama was and is flawed on (drone bombings, deportation, etc). It was also important to continue discussion on issues that Kennedy was flawed on.

Do you play on Imgur? Cause this is continually reposted on imgur routinely. I love that it has broken a slightly more mainstream blog.

Yay, QI! I love that show so much, especially now that Sandi Toksvig is hosting it (I have missed her since she left The News Quiz).

then you’d invade using an entire carrier battle fleet and a division of marines that would land at one end of the island and progressively ‘subdue and pacify’ the local inhabitants (birds and the occasional seal...) before forcibly establishing ‘democratic’ elections of the bird party vs the seal party after which…

Looks like puffins, though I could be wrong. My allergies are making my eyes a little wonky right now — why, you could even say they were “puffin’”, if you were so inclined.

The Danes are welcome to try.

If Kentucky had staked a claim, I’d my move my family there tomorrow. How long does it take take to scoop up a year’s worth of bourbon? That’s approximately how long we’d be hanging out. Maybe a week?

I never go to that side of the city since I moved out to a satellite. It’s just so awkward now, so I’ll probably never run into him. 👍👍👍

Yeah, it’s true; we’re actually this adorable.

We should ask for Alaska back. I mean, we basically look after a couple of their towns now, and we could also have the scadenfreude to deport the Palins.

Isn’t that how Canada traditionally resolves disputes? Politely leave you a gift of delicious alcohol then BAM! maple syrup golems pound you into bits while they ride their genetically engineered Utah raptors over your steaming remains. At least I think that’s where it’s going.

Leggo my archipelago

I think I just recently heard about this island on QI, though they described it differently. They mentioned that both countries use the island for military training exercises, and when one army is done and leaves, they leave behind the liquor for the other country.

The Danes would argue it’s epically Danish. And threaten to drink under the table anyone who says otherwise.

Ah, when nice countries argue

It is weird how this story regularly shows up, possibly annually. I guess it is like the WWI soccer story, something good to use in the last few months to foster a sense of civility.

Damn, did you just figure this out? This has been a story for awhile now

I think the reason they havent just cut the island in half is the potential for oil. Although given that they would not actually be drilling on the island, i am not sure how much an extra 600 meters of barren rock would add in oil.

Well that is epically Canadian.
