    One World Trade Center opened up last week, and you know what that means? You should go watch "Trust Fall" again, BECAUSE IT'S TOPICAL NOW. http://rainbowdash.net/url/765609

      @mrmattimation That was further over the line that a US troop across the Iraqi border.

        @vcgriffin There actually aren't any US troops in Iraq right now, so that would make my video way way behind the line.

          @mrmattimation how about, further than the supposed Russian column into Luhansk? (Not confirmed)

            @awlditzy The line must be a pretty short distance away if I've crossed it

              @mrmattimation i think that's the thing; ukrainian military reported them only across the border, no sightings by NATO or Ukraine from there.

                @vcgriffin These Islamist movements are a Frankenstein's monster unleashed by US foreign policy. For example, bin Laden and Co. were financed by the CIA and hailed as "freedom fighters" during the Soviet-Afghan War.

                  @m14brony Charlie Stross has a good bit to say on that topic http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2014/09/a-brief-bitter-quiz.html

                    @vcgriffin It is undeniable that such Islamists are Frankenstein's monsters that bit the hand that fed them, but comparing them to Lenin and the Bolsheviks is downright laughable, to put it mildly.

                      @m14brony I find Stross more of a good jumping off point into the comments where I get lost for several hours.

              @mrmattimation when Canadian news is telling us more information about the US than US citizens know themselves, the world is actually quite normal.

                @techdisk I don't watch the news to be very fair, and I've stopped receiving the newspaper that I typically get my news from.
