cataclysmic events precisely for Aug. 22. But it would be

Maybe in fact you're right, Eric. Scary Republicans. But then, you'd

happened, like Katrina or Bush's back door draft through nationalizing the
National Guard. Except nobody at all will join if that happens. Let's all

mongering, war mongering, it's what Republicans do best, while Democrats do
nothing at all best.
