I would like to vote Nowhere, but I suppose there are places where we are now and need to say for a while longer…like Korea.<\/font><\/p>\n

I picked Japan, Germany, and Korea for various reasons. Japan, because they have no standing army and it keeps China in check over Taiwan; Germany, because it gives us a European presence into the Middle East and that’s where we treat our wounded soldiers from Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. and Korea because those North Koreans would overrun the DMZ in a second if they thought they could get away with it and we also fight Al Queada in the Philippines, and all those various weird countries over there.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2018Nowhere\u2019 was the overwhelming winner, but I believe many picked it as a knee-jerk reaction, without due thought.<\/font><\/p>\n

I picked Germany and Italy, because we cannot otherwise fulfill our obligations under NATO.  I picked Japan, because I\u2019d rather the US defend them than have them rearm.  I picked South Korea, because North Korea will invade otherwise.  I picked Texas, to safeguard the US from InsaniTEA.<\/font><\/p>\n

The new poll is a mock Presidential election between formally announced candidates.  I also included Romney, because he will announce tomorrow.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
