Oh, these guilty pleasures and smiles when scanning this thread:

Seeing Carol and Dianavan quoting approvingly from The American Conservative

Seeing them praising the extreme conservative expert Robert Pape of Bombing to win fame. Before the Iraq war (Novemeber 2001) he was quoted: University of Chicago political scientist Robert Pape, author of the book Bombing to Win, thinks the air war might take as long as a year — which may be a lot longer than the American people would support. . Give me Bobert for a change.

Seeing Dianavan describing her thoughts as 'random thoughts'. Well, I know what that expression means; but imagine the pleasure of reading 'random' in a verbatim sense as for instance 'lacking coherence'. I wouldn't have dared to say that.
