Thunder on cue

Kim rules, everybody else (including me) drools:

And for those Perpetual Handwringers who wonder when we're all going to Get Over It and Move On, my answer is:

Never.

To use one of my favorite quotes from the movie Tombstone: "You called down the thunder; well, now you've got it."

I also like Rumsfeld's quoted statement about all the Taliban fighters "pouring" into Afghanistan: "The defense secretary said this week the Taliban's regrouping gave the U.S. an advantage, since larger groups of Taliban fighters are easier to find and attack." Dumbasses. A further note to the French: this is what a culture that has never grown up on cowboy movies thinks is a real smart move. "Hah! We shall throw all our mighty warriors at the American forces at once! When the infidels see so many of us coming to kill them, they will be overcome in terror and turn to flee! Then we shall cut them down with our swords!" Sure, Ahmed, we'll skedaddle right on out of there, just as soon as we press a few of these here buttons...

"What's that ghost of Isoroku Yamamoto doing standing there rolling his eyes in disgust? What is this word 'baka'? What does 'front toward enemy' mean?"

Another great Tombstone quote:

You tell him the law's coming. You tell him I'm coming, and Hell's coming with me, you hear? HELL'S COMING WITH ME!

Always warms the cockles of my heart, these days.

Tombstone is one of my all-time favorites.
