Hmmm.

Didn't mean to offend anyone. I was unaware of the Green Party VP's comments. When it comes to incidents like MH17 and any related skullduggery, I have to admit that I am a low-information voter. But aren't all us little people just viewing these kinds of things "through a glass, darkly"?

Point taken. But the question remains, why was the US involved in regime change in Libya in the first place? It seems as though we can't get that question answered.

This might seem counter-intuitive, but I'd say Hillary is more likely to pull that kind of move. Look at the regime change that she spearheaded in Libya. No one has ever satisfactorily explained why that action was taken, but it seems to have been done in part to funnel arms to ISIS. Also, Ghadafi was sitting on a…

Hmm, now that Turkey is becoming such an unreliable ally (coup attempts, overtly supporting ISIS), the Anglo-American power base might decide that the Kurds could be a useful asset, and an independent Kurdistan could be in the cards, partly made up of former Turkish territory?

Remember the girl who was supposed to be a Kuwaiti nurse? She was on all the U.S. news outlets crying about how the Revolutionary Guard had "taken the babies out of the incubators, and left them to die on the cold floor".

When we saw Sam gazing through the mists at Oldtown, the Rolling Stones song "Citadel" instantly popped into my head. Perhaps it's bad taste to include the YouTube link, but this feels so right it can't be wrong.

Hope this isn't way off-topic, but you've got to remember that Moammar Gadhafi was sitting on a huge stockpile of gold, and was about to establish a Pan-African currency to compete against the US dollar.

Eh, the problem with Satan is that he's so reactive. I mean the Black Mass is just the Christian Mass said backward. He's like an unruly teenager or something.

Every 80 or 90 years, society suddenly gets into a mood where it wants to confront all the issues that have been accumulating over the decades. It happened in 1690, 1776, 1861, 1941. You might say it happens about every "four score and seven years".

Theon Greyjoy and Ramsay Bolton: Red Wedding Crashers

Oh yeah, that one is identical. Exact same production sound, too.

With the expiration of Joffrey two weeks ago, we needed some new sadistic villains to fill the gap. It was either this or a episode featuring feline Balerion's depredations.
Perhaps the mutineers will not be vanquished by Jon Snow & Co., but will instead go on to found a Pitcairn Island-type society that will endure…
