Today's Bleat:
"What would I do? Well, if North Korea launched a nuclear missile that so much as grazed the 12 mile limit of our westernmost Aleutian island, I wouldn’t hesitate to turn the entire country into a smooth sheet of glazed rock. You cannot take such an action lightly, because the world would be watching."Why can't we get back to the issues that MATTER?
"But doesn’t that conflict with your previous remarks about how much you enjoyed Dylan’s music?"
"What the Sam Hell does Dylan have to do with it? We’re talking about war. He’s just a musician. I’m not likely to base my foreign policy on some obscure metaphors warbled over a six-string accompaniment. I like Bobby Darin too. Does that mean I have to consult with the mayor of Berlin just because I whistle Mack the Knife from time to time?"
I'm just saying...
Oh...and if this sort of talk frightens our European friends, that isn't my intention. I just think talking about what's going on NOW is more important than talking about what happened 30 years ago. That story is important too, but not more important than the discussion that these two candidates need to have about the state of the world and our role in it.
