I'm old enough to remember that when we said that we were against the Iraq war, we were told that we were proxies for Saddam Hussein.

It's the same shit that they've been saying to justify wars for years.

who have some concerning backgrounds. But before we get to all that, I have to do the thing that I

hate. And I need you to know that I hate it. But I hate asking you for money. This is not my

favorite part of doing this job. But it's a necessary part of this job because I am not
