United States of America
Martin O'Malley, Jerry Rivers, SCOMF, NYSlimes - all so much wiser than the authors of the Constitution.
War.
Lordy! Mew Mew beat me to the question.
Laurie David's Cervix: The Senate rejected Thursday evening an amendment... Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill. was the only Republican who voted against the amendment....
J.J. Sefton: Only 10 senators voted yea on Rand Paul's bill to halt immigration from Middle Eastern countries....
I think this is the third year that I've written up a long comment about my own lack of service and Viet Nam.
For chatting and joking and snarking I have some skills. For sincerity of sentiment I find words fail me. Hope the intended spirit is conveyed:

Muslim Group = terrorist group CAIR-OK
Today there were vets outside the grocery store.
In the "yeah, sure" department:
Vic: The House has passed a defense bill that prevents Obama from closing GITMO and sending the terrorists to the US.
Colin: Chicago Police: Customer with concealed carry license kills robber...
Oh, another ambush of reflugicans is happening? I'll try to contain my excitement.
I enjoy watching comments on AoS about it. That's as deep into it as I can get.
Vertov: Iron Curtain speech.
Riiight!
ManWithNoParty: Well, as you are apparently posting here while driving, they may have a point.
Of course I'm not posting while driving.
Chicago: 6 shot and 74 heroin ODs in less than 72 hours.
In before the next thread, just to say,

As I said last thread, utterly disqualified as a Modern Man.
Love the concern for others. Outstanding.
Enough idle browsing. I'm off to explore the Big Potato!
Casual observations while toodling around Chicago includes my first rat sighting (last night, crossing the street in front of us, I nearly ran over him, but missed).
On this day in 1974, I drove from Tulsa to the Ponca City train station to pick up a Chicago gal I'd known in college.
Just passing through and decided to drop this on y'all.
Continuing my report from the People's Republic of Chicago, first time here after ten years away.
Greetings, glorious Horde. Jumping in w/o getting caught up on everybody's precious words. Yet.
Ha! Great post to read because... I'm in Chicago this week! Milady's eldest brother died, day before yesterday, and we'll be staying 'til the weekend's memorials.
Jumping in without yet following any headlines, or reading comments, or the morning thread, to say:
Morning, Glories, from the glorious People's Republic of Chicago!
OM, I really appreciate your style of discussion that connects themes and casually incorporates the book links. Almost makes books seem like a normal part of life!
Friends, Milady's oldest brother, Vince, is ill and probably dying. He beat the throat cancer a long time ago, but a new cancer has cropped up, and it seems there's nothing to be done.

Library of Congress -- one of the many reasons we hope D.C. just gets hit by an EMP and not a hard blast.
Help us, Uncle Sam, you are our only hope!
When we visited relatives in Alaska, decades ago, we took a trip up to Denali Park. The mountain pretty much went by both its official designation and the AmerIndian name, interchangeably.
Kroger: Kroger sells canned food! No need to do it yourself!
Yeah, here's a food thought. (Long one, sorry.)
