@Anonymous “Cold-War era” is one of the worst descriptive phrases ever…
@Libya While the Oscars were going on and everyone was consumed with red carpet fashion, President Obama ordered a repositioning of US Forces around Libya, troops will be one order away from occupying Libya. Just great, we went from uni-lateral preemptive wars under Bush, to wars disguised under “humanitarian” efforts with Obama. The FPI is playing God once again, what’s the difference between a war on terror and one on the basis of humanitarian efforts, when the underlying reason is the Oil under the peoples feet? Absolutely nothing, same game different name.
@do you mean The F.P.I. Project, an Italian Eurodance/House Music act that was active from 1989 to 1991??
@copy editor Ogling. One ‘o.’ Thanks.
@Anonymous Who the fuck uses the word ogling in everyday conversation?
@puzzler Anyone who does crossword puzzles regularly, that’s who. We also prefer “oleo” on toast, say “ape” instead of imitate, love any film featuring “Asta,” and enjoy sitting “alee” on boats “ere” sunset in “été.”
