1. I first that that was Rome's Colosseum
But, oops, it isn't.

Okay, so it's a bunch of 17 year-olds in some form of uniform I'm not familiar with, in front of the burning White House. :scared: WTF?

3. I thought Alcoholics Anonymous had come to forcibly detain Shrub
In a 12-step program. Not a bad idea, that.

4. "an anti-shrub military coup" -- oh, my god, don't even think it
Things suck right now, but let's not escalate it into a second civil war just yet. We're not quite there.

6. "The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012"
link:
http://www.woodrow.org/teachers/esi/2002/CivilLiberties/Projects/Origins.pdf

From Sidney Blumenthal in The Guardian:

"In 1992, General Colin Powell, chairman of the joint chiefs, awarded the prize for his strategy essay competition at the National Defence University to Lieutenant Colonel Charles Dunlap for The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012. His cautionary tale imagined an incapable civilian government creating a vacuum that drew a competent military into a coup disastrous for democracy. The military, of course, is bound to uphold the constitution. But Dunlap wrote: "The catastrophe that occurred on our watch took place because we failed to speak out against policies we knew were wrong. It's too late for me to do any more. But it's not for you."

The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012 is today circulating among top US military strategists."
