I'd like to thank TheAussieReaper for knowing fine literature and how to use it.

I was a big Mad fan as a kid and today when I was in the 7-11 getting a squishy I saw the cover and it made me smile. I found the fold over page touching.

Yes, my name is Alex and I used Mad magazine as source material in a DST thread.

don't worry Cam our Army will be needed here at home to restore the chaos after the next terrorist attack by the peace loving followers of Islam.

lol. Still haven't realised you can't combat terrorism or indeed a concept with a conventional army....

PS The peace loving followers of Islam aren't the ones carrying out attacks. It's the other followers of Islam.

Respect the uniform, respect the office.. regardless of what you think of the man underneath.


[EDIT]

And, even as a civilian, a little bit of that ethic is appropriate.

The election is over.  Whether or not you voted for him, he is the President now. 

There was a time to root for your guy to win.  That time has passed. Now, like it or not [and I don't], Obama is our guy to root for.

Yeah, it does.

It's probably a boat dock though, considering how it's connected to the shore.

Would've been nice to see people take that attitude in 01. Strange there's not this "he's not my president" crap coming from the right. Hmmm...

It's the dock for the paddle boats they rent for going out in the Tidal Basin.
