"Yesterday upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I think he's from the CIA."

KPLs (Key Performance Lethalities)

States, like computers, like people, are information processing systems. Peter Bishop of the University of Houston taught me that

I think the current Israeli leadership would far prefer a perpetually mowable near enemy to boost the salience of security concerns. A docile Iran is less useful than a broken but loudly belligerent one

The best kind of lawnmowing is the one where it continually mows itself

It being Stephen King's home is the most on-brand thing ever

I'll see myself out. Into the snow.

Is it safe to assume that you speak a more or less typical form of Indian English, such that an American who doesn't know that's a thing would simply clock it as 'some kind of foreign accent?'

See, that's what I thought too, and then the Acting Secretary of the Navy personally fired a CVN captain and I realized that Trump rules are very different

War Crimes Georg, who is sober enough to issue orders for at least two hours a day during his vigorous PT photo ops, would like nothing more than to show that he's taken the gloves off. Otherwise what was the point of firing the TJAGs?

Depends what you consider to be a legitimate target. Whole lotta roads, bridges, substations, and other critical infrastructure out there with hypothetical military value

Read theory

Even simplistic thinking requires some sort of guiding heuristic. GWB's version was really perfect for people like Frank - if anything, it was even simpler than the Cold War equivalent. You didn't have to worry about the *Third* World anymore - now it was just two categories, with us or against us!
