The 7 December 1941 Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor was one of the great defining moments in history. A single carefully-planned and well-executed stroke removed the United States Navy's battleship force as a possible threat to the Japanese Empire's southward expansion. America, unprepared and now considerably weakened, was abruptly brought into the Second World War as a full combatant.The irony

[These guys would have probably been better off staying in the military if they were that trigger happy. Hell, you could have executed kids at point-blank range and almost get away with it in a military court.]
We could only hope
[Massive budget surpluses, 22 million new jobs, 4% unemployment ... yeah, we can only hope.]Senator Kennedy?

Calling all wingnuts
[You know, for the 62% American Taliban evangelical wingnut base of the Republican Party, going to Saudi Arabia is not all that far-fetched of an idea. It's hot, dry, has a lot sand and it has a religion-based government.]

Ladies and gentlemen, I know ... I said just last week that it would be his last Limbaugh, but hell, I didn't know he was going to start that 'Legacy Tour' thing.
There's absolutely no way the distinguished and world-renown selection committee would allow him to get away with repeating his lie about the UN weapons inspectors. That particular lie has cost this country way too much to ignore.
Congratulations ... two weeks in a row. You're #91, numbnuts.
