Thank you for the ping.

Great article, would not want to miss.

We like it here. We like our McDonalds. We like our football. We like our rock-and-roll. Until 10 days ago, we liked our halftime shows.

Great line!

We like Iowa corn and New York hot dogs, and if we want Chinese or Indian or Italian, we go to the food court. We don't send the Marines for takeout.

And there's the fundamental truth, in a nutshell.

I'd rephrase it a little:
"We don't send the Marine for takeout - we send them to take out the trash."

Interestingly enough, the Special Boat Service refers to much of their work as "Rubbish Removal."
