Just to expand on the part of you being cute by being you, here’s an analogy. My neighbor has one of those yippy Miniature Pinscher’s. It thinks it can take on any and all comers. It’s a lot of dog in a small package. However, in the real world, it gets crushed by anything it tries to bite. It’s usually amusing when he tries to intimidate a Huskie, but God help him if he actually gets close to it. That’s what I think of you. You’re tough talking and attempt to be bold. It tells a lot of what you must be like IRL. I’d pity you, but you’re just too amusing. Speaking of meds, by the way, have you forgotten yours? I think your party is serving up Tropical Punch today. :non-winking Wally: ---

Touched a nerve? Don’t flatter yourself. You’re as worrisome to me as a moth banging its head against a light bulb. And about on the same intellectual level. This is kind of fun. I can see why _everything_ you’ve ever said to me was an insult. But now you’re starting to bore me. Go away, little one, you don’t have the chops to get under my skin :non-winking Wally: ---

So, the Iraqi ministries were given this money and they didn’t spend it how we thought they should? Or is it that they haven’t answered to us? All in all it’s a moot point. After all, it _is_ Faux News you’re citing. That’s been discredited soundly by your ilk around here for years. Keep trying though, this really is more fun than I thought it could be. 🙂 ---

You’re both beyond humorus and diving deep into the stupid pool. Say hi to the rest of your ilk. Even pathetic pitiful people feel sorry for you two. :rolleyes: ---
