There's battle lines being drawn.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Young people speaking their minds
getting so much resistance from behind

(Bodily Part) Says, "What?"

Just in case you missed this in the news. Seems like we, as in the US, are right back to the wonderful duplicity of the 70s and 80s, like when we called the Contras the "moral equivelants of our Founding Fathers." Remember that quote. Oh, good times. Now we seem to be back into the Grand Game (say, how did that work our for the UK?, hmm, hope we play it better) and to the ideology of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," even when that friend may or may not be linked to Al-Qada. Here's a thread that's talking about this fun in Iran.

Yes, except for us local politicos who are sweet and adoringly cute. Except when you sue us, and then we get out the whomping sticks.

teve, here's my dictionary's entry for politico:

a politician, especially one whose words are dismissed as trite or whose motives are disapproved of as self-serving.


That doesn't sound like you, to me.
