Retired. Occasionally a national hero may rise to the top, but for the most part I personally do not feel that retired Generals make very good civil servants.

You're right about the ninjas though. I remember reading about that. It was a close vote if I recall.

Not at all, pumpkin. You might be pestered to back up your statements, though.

This rolls both ways. Eventually, I'll write something which, although seeming correct to me at the time, can be easily proven as being false. Feel free to show me the light.

As for your graph, that is bordering on illegal. The Kyoto Protocol specifically mandated all global warming graphs to be calculated in terms of ninjas.

Here's a preview:

More to come.

Calm down, pal. It was meant in jest, hence the cool sunglasses. So, I have to prove myself to JAFO in order to comment on this site?

I accept the challenge and hopefully I will be just as proud of my post as you are of yours.

Go back and read my post on global warming.

Once you have made an honest effort to counter any of the points made there, you, and your views, may earn some credibility. Depending on the strength of your arguments and your eloquence in presenting them, you may even win some over to your way of thinking. Until that time, one-line whining and the deafening silence of logical debate from global warming supporters do nothing to further your cause.

Zinni's support of "global warming" is an important indicator of his character and possible job performance.

What kind of man is he? Does he believe in global warming or is he, as so many others, using it to further personal ambitions? Will he chase after the latest political fads, regardless of long-term consequences, just to appear relevant? Will he sacrifice valid real-world goals to satisfy ethereal objectives of a questionable political nature? Will he enthusiastically support requirements of major lifestyle changes of (average) Americans based on unscientific conjecture from elitist groups with self-serving ambitions?

These questions, and others like them, are important lines of reasoning which first-order-thinking Global Warming Drones are incapable of perusing.

Clam, until you have pearls of wisdom to share with us, get back in your shell.

You just couldn't resist…
