Johnny Joestar posted:i'm glad they're painting stuart as being a shithead and not trying to make him sympathetic, because he's the kind of creep that walks away unscathed from poo poo like that I'm just sick enough that I was hoping for a suicide or stress indused heart attack. But then again I've been reading Retail since it first ran (and bought the book!), so I've been nursing a hate for Stuart since day one.

I've read anecdotal stories about combat medics on Pelelieu and Guadalcanal who used coconut water as a sub for blood plasma, but only in extreme circumstances where they had no choice.

At least a strip where he realizes his orders mean nothing anymore.

Nenonen posted:"How do I express my disdain for DMV workers when my editor doesn't allow fangs?? DMV jokes are the hackiest jokes in existence, and I have never gotten them, at all. Every time I've been to the DMV, it's been fine. No more worse then the dentist or a doctor's office. It's like making fun of airline food, or ATMs. "What's the deal with airline food?  ""It's crackers and cookies, that's it." "And these ATMs, I don't get them! Why do drive up ATMs have those Braille pads, are their blind people driving?! Someone explain this to me!  ""Well, blind people can sit in the back seat and have someone drive then to the ATM." It's like, these aren't jokes! They're banal statements!

How Wonderful! posted:I don't care to explain the Iran-Contra Scandal in detail, but it involved senior officials in the Reagan administration evading an arms embargo with Iran to sell weapons to the Khomeini government and using the proceeds to fund the right-wing Contras in Nicaragua. Oliver North was a central figure in this and was kind of a patron saint of the American right-wing of the period, and Reagan himself was implicated fairly damningly despite coming out of the whole thing comparatively unscathed. Hence Mo's evocation of "plausible deniability"-- how much did the president "know" versus how much did the president know. Don't forget the CIA helping the Contras smuggling cocaine into the US and laundering a quarter of a billion dollars. As for whether Reagan knew what was going on or not, well... "Honest Ollie" North posted:"Ronald Reagan knew of and approved a great deal of what went on with both the Iranian initiative and private efforts on behalf of the contras and he received regular, detailed briefings on both...I have no doubt that he was told about the use of residuals for the Contras, and that he approved it. Enthusiastically." Casper "The Ghost" Weinberg posted:Handwritten notes by Defense Secretary Weinberger indicate that the President was aware of potential hostage transfers with Iran, as well as the sale of Hawk and TOW missiles to what he was told were "moderate elements" within Iran. Notes taken by Weinberger on 7 December 1985 record that Reagan said that "he could answer charges of illegality but he couldn't answer charge that 'big strong President Reagan passed up a chance to free hostages'". Most of Reagan's National Security Counsel was indicted and convicted for perjury, obstruction of justice, and evidence tampering, but Bush 41 pardoned everyone involved.
