Tyler, I’m a huge fan of this blog and I’m here every day. Please, stay out of the politics here. Or at least, try to avoid ridiculous click-bait headlines like this one. Because frankly we don’t live in an age where any major politician on either side can be considered a military expert, but at least the GOP is the…

Ran out of AdBlue, better piss in my car.

Apparently everyone is anticipating a tennis ball being fired at their crotch at any moment. That, or Perry has a history of doing cup checks mid-speech. Readiness is everything.

It was given a chance to succeed - it just didn’t.
