Jimmy Buffet’s song Fruitcakes:

Where’s the church, who took the steeple
Religion is in the hands of some crazy-ass people
Television preachers with bad hair and dimples
The god’s honest truth is it’s not that simple
It’s the buddhist in you, it’s the pagan in me
It’s the muslim in him, she’s catholic ain’t she?
It’s the born again look it’s the wasp and the jew
Tell me what’s goin on, I ain’t gotta clue

Modern day epicurian!

Today is the day when General Tony McAuliffe announced to the German commander: Nuts! during the battle of the bulge as his reply to surrender terms for Bastogne.

[Guest]

I wonder what the german commander said when he got that reply?! :lol:

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.  The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is far worse.  The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”
John Stewart Mill

@Yanny:

“The greatest argument against Democracy is five minutes with the average voter. Democracy is the worst system of government, except all of the others”

Add to that

“A person is smart, people are dumb”  from Men in Black

or my father’s version…
“The masses are asses”

[Wargaming_nut]

Yanny, at least part of that line you attributed to Churchill was original to Will Rogers; to quote from him, “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for every other.” Don’t know about the first part…

I’m getting my information from the TV show The West Wing, so I can’t vouch for it independently.

F*ck the Air Force!  :mrgreen: bunch of sissies next to the Army or Marines.  :evil:

I got an appointment to the Air Force Academy, from my Congressman (Scott Garret: R, NJ). I told the SOB specifically, in EVERY form I filled out for the application, as well as in person to the review panel at the interview that I had NO interest in going to either the Air Force Academy, or Annapolis, that I was only interested in West Point, and he appoints me to the Air Force Academy!  :x
haha, luckily by that point, I had already decided against going to a military academy anyway. Stupid Scott Garret.
