Clinton's Wheel of Fortune

What will it take to make Hillary stop?

Whatever her reasons for staying on, she has to balance them against her $20m debt, which grows every day she remains in the race. For the moment she looks like she's in it for the long haul.

Wheel of Fortune has three contestants. If you spin and it lands on bankrupt, you are supposed to pass your turn to the next person. What's the harm? It isn't like McCain or Obama are likely to solve the puzzle.



That being said, what we really need in a president is someone who can embrace the growing of debt every day and do so for the long haul. Yeah, that's exactly what we need. Future prosperity! That's what I'm talking about.

I apologize for using DEFCON 1 level sarcasm in an attempt to avert a potential financial crisis. It just seemed the proper course of action.

DEFCON

The highest alert condition the US military has been confirmed to have been at was DEFCON 2.

Higher alert conditions were also ordered during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. While the US military was technically at DEFCON 3 status during the Yom Kippur War, in certain theaters it operated under DEFCON 2 conditions as a show-of-force to repel Soviet naval vessels from entering the Bosporus Strait. For example, Pershing I missiles in West Germany were prepared for use.

1973, oh how you haunt me!
