1. Yes sir re,

Captain Obvious.

[Scarsdale]

2. Where do they find all these

incompetant people? Starting at the #1 position, of course. All of them look and sound like complete morons. This guy looks like a deer caught in the headlights. Maybe Rudy should start a workshop, teaching them how to conduct themselves on TV? Splutter and splatter and lie like hell.

3. "He believed there probably could have been..."

And there probably could have been
a sexual assault against minors by the guy too.

I am soooo tired of their incompetence and lying.

theocratic wannabes.

9. What a bunch of gobbledygook, misdirection, lies and propaganda.

Why do we even think that assassinating Soleimani would eliminate terrorist activities? He may have been the mastermind in developing the terrorist network, but he clearly has acolytes and 2nds in command who have learned at the feet of the master and will continue terrorist activities without skipping a beat.

16. And did you notice the slight smile after he finished his first spiel?

12. Republican think tanks must surely be about to implode.

Back during W's day, the Rethugs admitted their think tanks such as Heritage did most of their thinking for them, so all they had to do was make sure everyone got the same dogmatic message to echo and there would be no conflict.

That process appears to be failing with tRump's bunch. Too many loose canons.

W knew he had to yield to and obey the big boys but tRump won't do that.......

13. They told me he was going to unleash a mutant star goat. Or was it piranha bees?

"Er ..." said Arthur after a moment, "what exactly was it that was wrong with your planet then?"

"Oh, it was doomed, as I said," said the Captain, "Apparently it was going to crash into the sun or something. Or maybe it was that the moon was going to crash into us. Something of the kind. Absolutely terrifying prospect whatever it was."

"Oh," said the first officer suddenly, "I thought it was that the planet was going to be invaded by a gigantic swarm of twelve foot piranha bees. Wasn't that it?"

Number Two span around, eyes ablaze with a cold hard light that only comes with the amount of practise he was prepared to put in.

"That's not what I was told!" he hissed, "My commanding officer told me that the entire planet was in imminent danger of being eaten by an enormous mutant star goat!"

"Oh really ..." said Ford Prefect.

"Yes! A monstrous creature from the pit of hell with scything teeth ten thousand miles long, breath that would boil oceans, claws that could tear continents from their roots, a thousand eyes that burned like the sun, slavering jaws a million miles across, a monster such as you have never ... never ... ever ..."

"And they made sure they sent you lot off first did they?" inquired Arthur.

"Oh yes," said the Captain, "well everyone said, very nicely I thought, that it was very important for morale to feel that they would be arriving on a planet where they could be sure of a good haircut and where the phones were clean."

"Oh yes," agreed Ford, "I can see that would be very important. And the other ships, er ... they followed on after you did they?"

For a moment the Captain did not answer. He twisted round in his bath and gazed backwards over the huge bulk of the ship towards the bright galactic centre. He squinted into the inconceivable distance.

"Ah. Well it's funny you should say that," he said and allowed himself a slight frown at Ford Prefect, "because curiously enough we haven't heard a peep out of them since we left five years ago ... but they must be behind us somewhere."

He peered off into the distance again.

Ford peered with him and gave a thoughtful frown.

"Unless of course," he said softly, "they were eaten by the goat ..."
