    Nothing new, worse things have happened.

    As the movie saying goes. " I don't know what's scarier, losing a nuclear weapon or that it happens so often there's actually a term for it. ... "

    Fucking Brilliant. The only thing the President has to carry on his person is an orange colored credit card.

    I know he was more interested in massageing Monica Lewinski's tonsils with his Lyndon Johnson, but how hard is it to keep a credit card in your pocket even when your pant are half down.

    Yep. Sometime after next July when Obama pulls the US troops out of Afghanistan I expect the Tallywhackers to take over Pakistan and then the Indians will instantly make good on their policy of nuking pstan to prevent the Taliban from possessing nukes.
