And let's not forget the troops already in Pakistan, please.
Lacey, first I resented you for out-gonzoing me but Lucky Red is now a threat to both of us. Let's get rid of him as we have so many other unpopular authors and commentators here: by frying them alive in fish oil and selling them to Chinese restaurants.
To other readers, I realize this method of editorial control might be unconventional, we find it an efficient process. It preserves journalistic integrity while brining in some spare cash at the same time. And properly prepared, an un-popular commentator can really be quite succulent.
Try some on your next visit to Phoenix and I think you'll agree. We haven't served chicken in metro Phoenix for years.
From Dorkbook:
