While that was silly and highly speculative, but it hardly even hits the absurdity radar screen these days.

I do wonder about defending this drivel with "he's an honorably discharged Marine". Big fricking deal. Just because he served in the military doesn't make him right, honorable, or even intelligent. After all, unless there's a war, about all grunts do is work as gate guards on Navy bases. So what's next, Edie the crossing guard's take on controlling looting in Basra?
