I was going to try to determine whether the white queen is even putting the black king in check, but the board and pieces are drawn so shittily I can't be sure what squares any of the pieces on Death's home row are actually on.

The United States, famous for its extensive role in WWI. e: While I'm looking at the Wikipedia page for America's entry into WWI (after Wilson pushed for neutrality for two years), have a metal political cartoon from the page:  Come on in, America, the Blood's Fine!

Sooooo I don't at all feel like looking a bunch of stuff up, but I'm pretty sure that as awful as ISIS/ISIL/Daesh is, they're just not anything close to the kind of threat posed by the Central and Axis powers in the World Wars.

Yeah.. but did you see that part where they just kept shooting Hitler in is dumb Hilery face? And reloaded and just kept shooting? Pretty sure that's how it went down.

After so much reprehensible drunk duck, is my bar now maybe so low that "getting the limerick rhythm right" is worthy of almost standing ovation? Because I feel oddly very impressed by that now.
