Hey, "Stuff Happens". Ol' Rumsie hit the nail on the head there. I'd remember that remark when the team he's on tries for re-election.

Rumsfeld's only problem is that he takes too much evident pleasure in so deftly deflating the often pompous declarations and accusations of his usually confused and always indignant detractors.

Rumsfeld could not deflate a tire.

You do take leader-worship for illuminative guidance into the very darkest of caves.

I think George needs one of those people who rushes in and saves others from a cult.

Shocked

Hardly a convincing argument in the case for American rule, that ...

Sca-ry. Perhaps Washington DC should be patrolled by an occupying army, huh? Very Happy

I've thought that for years, NIMH. UN monitoring of Washington and US elections. That would satisfy this doubter!!

That was good Blatham !

However, I didn't exhibit that much obsessive leader worship during the last administration.

Rumsfeld, you know, was also a Naval Aviator. You can tell from the steady eyes, the firm set of his jaw, and the overall good looks!

I'm glad he's attractive to men. To women? Not! (George, you sound a little in love with that "firm set of the jaw" stuff!!)

You've just made me laugh as hard as I've laughed in a while...George does seem taken with the set of a firm jaw, the steadfast ramrod cut of a real man's jib...it's true.

BLATHAM! I come from a nautical family and I tell ya, that "ramrod jib" puts you in the prairie...! (Well, I'm in the prairie too and enjoy your company!)

I just came across this; alittle out of present context, but, I think, worth reading:

Tartarin, Blatham,

You've found me out ! I was describing a common background and common characteristics, and I do rather like them. Does this touch a sensitive nerve?

Blatham's metaphor was effective, if not technically accurate. Why do I have such trouble with the notion that Tartarin could speak for women generally?

Don't know why some physical features seem indicative of personality traits. Love a strong jawline and prominent chin. When my grandmother related someone had made a final decision, she said, "He's set his jaw." It is an old adage about resoluteness.

And, what's the alternative? A slack-jawed individual? What do these poor people do to signify their decisions?

My wife can't stand to look at George. Her assessment is that he is as ugly outside as he is inside.
