Larry Saved Me From Torture...

 ... of seeing and listening to these two guys and I am eternally grateful to him for that. 

Tweedledee and Tweedle-dumber Dissemble on Ukraine.

I admit, pretty much anything emanating from the Beltway, be that in writing or visual, is cringe-worthy. I feel embarrassed, those guys--don't. Read the whole thing at Larry's excellent blog. 

Meanwhile, boy Marco Rubio decided to demonstrate his professional grasp of Air Forces' operations and Scott nearly exploded:

I agree, what this boy lawyer, who never served a day in any armed forces, is suggesting is the start of the WW III. Rubio is an Exhibit A of a majority in the US Congress--cowardly chickenhawks.

Larry Explains Austin's And Milley's "Logic"...

I know, I am scratching my head still after trying to listen to these two. My BS meter, sadly, has a very low threshold settings. Larry did the job for all of us. Enjoy.

It would be funny were it not for the slaughter underway in Ukraine.

It is not just gross, the incompetence is grotesque even if to assume that they know the score. If you are a good professional you at least can try to lie... professionally. But this... Read the whole thing at Larry's.
