I saw what you did there, Rhythmdvl.
Ludovic: Whoosh! I have no idea what your post means. Anyone want to explain it?
You mean the “wag the dog, nation building” stuff? I believe he’s referring to the idea that when Democrats take military action, Republicans accuse them of having ulterior motives[sup]1[/sup], or of entangling us in unstable political situations as “peacekeepers”[sup]2[/sup].

Re: “wag the dog”
Normally a dog will wag it’s own tail, but when the tail wag the dog, it means that the cat has put something in the dog’s water. Again.
Syria? :o
Duh. Sudan, obviously. You know, one of those ‘S’ countries.
The screwy thing is that I must have got it right when I was searching or I wouldn’t have found the wikipedia link in the first place.
It depends on how many they slew.
They could be a slain of mercs, although I suppose that’s more appropriate for the shootees than the shooters.
If they didn’t slay a slew, then they’re not very good mercenaries, are they?
I know I already said it. They are a disgrace, and make me ashamed to be American. Again.
Here’s a kleenex, **'luci **. Don’t take it so hard. It is like Clint Eastwood said, “It’s halftime in America.” We just took a little break from being America, that’s all. They’ll blow the whistle and we’ll get right back to it.
I got another one! Fortunately I live in Tennessee so I have an advantage when it comes to stupid Republicans.
Williamson GOP Chief Blasts School Breakfasts:
Williamson County is a very wealthy county. It’s But not everyone in the county is wealthy: about 12% of children in the county qualify for free or reduced-price meals, and many don’t get full meals if they don’t get them as school. But I guess if they’re hungry, Kookogey’s solution is ‘let them eat cake!’
The desire to feed children is now a “perverse incentive.” :rolleyes:
This isn’t really a stupid Republican idea, but I wanted to share a gleeful point-'n-laugh with fellow Dopers:
A conservative radio talk show host is charged with hit and run for an incident outside a gay bar.It’s especially nice because he’s not just conservative, he’s hateful.
Is it a coincidence that this one’s name looks like you could pronounce it kind of like “Cuckoo Guy”?
Did you notice the school administrator’s name was Looney?
When you described him as hateful, I thought it would be because he said he doesn’t support SSM… but Jesus, that guy is a total fucking asshole.
The usual outing aside, he was at a stop sign, then went into reverse and backed up seventy feet and hit a car? How drunk do you have to be to go that far in reverse without noticing?
You’ve heard of self-hating gays? Mr. Berry is a self-loathing gay.
It wasnt’ my impression that he didn’t notice. I inferred that it was intentional; but I could be wrong. I mean if he was at a stop sign, he would have already been in forward gear so he would have had to shift into reverse on purpose.
Here’s another story and news video about the incident, and it strongly suggests some kind of coverup by the investigating police. Supposedly, several witness gave statements to the police at the time saying they recognized Berry at the wheel of the SUV, but when police presented the results of the investigation to prosecutors, those statements were not included. The video also contains snips of the bar’s surveillance cameras showing Berry, but there’s not much of interest otherwise.
And yes this guy is a racist wackaloon. He recently tweeted that he’s stopped watching the NBA because it’s been taken over by “chinamen”, and apparent reference to Jeremy Lin.
