With this appointment Rupert Murdoch and his son continue their chosen roles of destroyers of our democratic republic.

WASHINGTON -- Lt. Col. Oliver North testified Wednesday he had a security system installed at his home to protect his families from threats by Abu Nidal and challanged the Arab terrorist to meet him one-on-one 'anywhere in the world.'


North reminded me of the character of Colonel Flagg on the TV show MASH.

I bet he also challenged Mexican cartels to meet him for bulk drug deals.

His new show on Fox ought to be called "War Lies" rather than "War Stories."

I'm surprised Fox isn't giving him a prime time slot before Hannity.

I used to do a lot of work with the DoD. My boss was once a Reagan appointee in the DoD.

It's the day after North shows to to testify before Congress - in his Marine uniform! My boss goes to one of those military forums/luncheons. He comes back to the office and tell me I would not believe the hatred that active and former Marines had for North when he did that. Just seething anger...

If Biden is too old - then WTF is North?

And he has been out of the military for 44-years! Think military doctrine, training, strategy, and operations might have changed in that time-frame...?

JERRY: Hellooo Newman.

I think that, in one episode, Jerry was torn as to whether to accept Keith's request to help Keith with moving his furniture and household belongings to a new residence. Jerry felt anxiety since he felt that type of involvement in another's affairs should be reserved for close friends only.

The one where Kramer passes a kidney stone.

I often use lines from Seinfeld in my daily life when doing things, like the line George uses, you gotta do it classy
