punting to Old Dog

Oh geez, can't we continue to discuss the Skinnerian behavior therapy on chickens?  I remember there was a guy on Maxwell Street who had a dancing chicken.  Couldn't we talk of teenage trips to find bargains on supposedly stolen merchandise?  Or cars, and their evolution from landlocked airplanes to crazy rocket ships and then their dismal descent into fridges on wheels and hence to their current status of faceless sunflower seeds?  Breathe there a man with soul so dead that it isn't stirred by the sight of a bare ankle or a soaring fin above a ruby red tail light shooting fire, ready to haul the glittering, chrome crusted hunk of metal to Mars?  What of the gossamer images of the future revealed in the Sunday funny papers?  Did you guys read science fiction in your youth?

Apparently not Beagles.  He had North Korea and Kim Il Sung and Douglas MacArthur on his mind.  You know researching this on wiki I couldn't remember his first name, only General, but General MacArthur took me straight to him. I would guess Beagles would have preferred war with Red (When it really was RED) China.  Of course that wouldn't have been as big a problem as the pinkos thought it would be, just win a couple victories and the only red we would see is the rose petals that a grateful populace would have strewn at the feet of our troopers, and then we could easily bring back universally beloved Chiang Kai Shek from his doughty outpost in Formosa.

Actually a lot of people at the time were for MacArthur, Truman's popularity dipped to like twenty-two percent, but we are probably better off with that corn-cob egomaniac gone.  Has their ever been a good movie about this?

You know I have trouble with the Kims, so I went to wiki.
Kim Il-Sung
is number one
Kim Jong-Il
is next on the hill
Kim Jong-Un
now stands on the dune

Further, it is called the Mount Paektu Bloodline, and it is written into their constitution that that bloodline will lead the People's Republic eternally.

I think Beagles is getting his information about our super anti-missile  missiles from those articles I used to read in the Sunday funny papers about the flying cars and rocket packs that we also don't have.  Likewise our ability to make short work of North Korea militarily,  Wait a minute, is Beagles claiming that a few nuclear weapons shot at the USA is like no big deal?

My solution is to cross our fingers and hope nothing happens, which is only a good strategy in light of the alternatives.  Maybe I'll let Old Dog settle this one, he has been in the South Pacific after all.
