So he's in the polling toilet.

Want to guess what day he'll roll out the nukes?

Can't be TOO close to Novermber. Can't be too far, either.

Yeah, that'll be a great way to hold onto Congress. (Sorry, Ian, but I don't buy your idea.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 18:24 (twenty years ago)

I like the "mini-nuke " bunker buster idea - "You can't have nuclear weapons, so we are going to use nuclear weapons against you!" WTF!

Just now, news services have printed Bush admin claims re: Iran's ability to build nukes in, like, 32 minutes.

So our wartime president bravely stops the threat.

btw--Fox News is already talking about the War on Easter.

One could be excused for thinking the country has gone utterly batshit.

― Grey, Ian (IanBrooklyn), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 21:20 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, fucking Easter. Bomb that, um, abstract concept!

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 21:28 (twenty years ago)

Is Bush whipping out nukes to fight the war on Easter? Because I doubt that'll win him any poll points.

The amount of talk, concern and worry on this issue I've noticed outside of the usual blathering points on the Net over the last two months = nil.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 13 April 2006 01:04 (twenty years ago)

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 13 April 2006 01:10 (twenty years ago)

"mahmoud ahmadinejad" = persian for "emmanuel goldstein"

Reagan was a prick but he was a rational prick.

― Grey, Ian (IanBrooklyn), Thursday, 13 April 2006 04:24 (twenty years ago)

With all due respect, you are now officially out of your fucking mind.

― John Justen (johnjusten), Thursday, 13 April 2006 05:07 (twenty years ago)

What--saying that Reagan was a prick or that he was rational?

― Grey, Ian (IanBrooklyn), Thursday, 13 April 2006 05:07 (twenty years ago)

RATIONAL.

― John Justen (johnjusten), Thursday, 13 April 2006 05:08 (twenty years ago)

haha "rational" reagan once seriously weirded out gorbachev by reminding him that surely their two nations would put aside their differences and join forces in the event of an invasion from outer space.

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Thursday, 13 April 2006 05:19 (twenty years ago)

So you're saying i can quit my job now and start a hedonistic lifestyle til the end of the world in October?

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Thursday, 13 April 2006 05:30 (twenty years ago)

gorbachev was the CArter of RUssian

― Mr Jones (Mr Jones), Thursday, 13 April 2006 05:32 (twenty years ago)

Well, with the Bush creatures at the helm, I'm obviously grading on a curve.

Nuclear bombs are a hell of a lot easier to make then people think. Its actually quite mechanistically simple- the only problem is getting enough Uranium-235 to make one.
