2. Damn right.

Of course, Sarah Palin would call that "lookin' at the past"

But, fuck her, she's just a tool!

3. Number 5

That story, for as whimsical as its headline sounds, has some very serious implications

4. Not to sound naive, but how so?

I'd hate to have your post end in a shroud of mystery.

9. Combine it with the Iranian ship taken by pirates

An Iranian ship was taken by pirates in farther north waters; something was on that ship that made their hair and fingernails fall out and made several gravely ill.

The gunrunners were trying to ship tanks and (probably) chemical weapons to the Powers That Be in the horn of Africa, but they were intercepted by the Powers That Will Be Soon. At the risk of vagueness, I can't overstate the importance of the horn of Africa to the next few decades.

10. I forgot about the poisonous ship! Interesting theory.

If you spread that story around, we might be able to make a killing on stock in aluminum foil!
