Budgets do balance themselves. Often catastrophically.

They were. The top Brit was a guy named James Johnson, 38 kills. The top American was Richard Bong, 40 kills. Bong flew in the Pacific. The greatest ever was Manfred von Richtofen, the Red Baron. 50 kills in WWI.

Every city in North America with over one million population should have five professional men's sports and five professional women's sports: NFL/CFL-style football, real football, basketball, and baseball. 24 cities, 9 in the U.S., 10 in Mexico, 5 in Canada. Four divisions of six teams...

I worked with some SAS guys, as well as our various special forces. I can testify they would. . . 1) Drink piss if it had alcohol in, and 2) Obtain it in the weirdest and most badass way possible under the circs. Tougher'n saddle leather. Smarter than Oxford dons. Crazy as hell. Mad...

Cheap beer. How is that not obvious?

Yep, my fuckup. You would have had to turn 17 on 8 August 1945. Which means you could have been born no later than 8 August 1928. The youngest veteran would be rising 97. Makes me even sadder.

How good the planes, and how staggeringly brilliant the fliers. The Germans are, and were, truly superior pilots, and the Me-109E was a match for the Spit. As well as being the first true air war, the Battle of Britain was the most amazing display of sheer aviation talent the world will ever see.

Not nearly as often as, say, 85 years back. Glad they got out OK. Shame about the Spit. I hope they can patch it up.

And the world economy's been teetering on the brink of recession since then, largely due to Donny Dipshit's brilliant moves.

If you served (legally) in WWII, the latest you could have been born was 8 August 1945. You'd be rising 80 now. The last WWI vet is gone. The WWII vets are going fast. They are the greatest generation.

Cool, but I would have put the warbirds from WWII in their own flight. Can you imagine flight of a Hurricane, a Spit, a Lancaster, and an Albatross? Abso-freakin'-lutely classic!

According to the government website. Assumed office 15.3.2025.

Freeland.

Your example is correct but irrelevant. Were Alberta and/or Saskatchewan to become a separate country, the newly-minted Westernesse would not be bound by treaties, deals, etc. that Canada made.

Science certainly is fluid to you.

Yep. I was always amused by the frequently-seen, distinctive green enclosed pedestrian overpass in the "Chicago" of Due South. That's "Chicago" spelled T-O-R-O-N-T-O.

A national security threat. Ohhhh. . . KAY! Well, ya can't say he ain't representative of America. "On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." --HL Mencken

Have you tried holding your breath until you turn blue?

OK, so they got in their performative OUTRAGE, and Carny is the PM. Everybody's happy.

Yep, they used the rules as currently written to beat Poilievre. I assume you'd prefer it if only Conservative candidates were permitted to run at all (or at least to win), but that's not going to happen, so I suggest you throw yourself on the floor, kick your feet, and wail "It's not FAIR!"
