no, I'm implying it does little to convince your critics to talk about how pretty the paint and flower boxes on the south, east and west walls of the house are when the north wall is caved in. The "difficulty pumping oil in a war zone" is a result of the insecurity of the country,as are the U.S. deaths. Until that gets resolved, I don't see much point of celebrating these statistics, and I say that as someone who still sees the effort worth making.
It's not a matter of paint on flowerboxes. The economy is booming. The price of gasoline is 56 cents a gallon. Hardly the "south wall caving in". I don't know what you're peddling here. Do you? Why don't you name it. Cut to the chase. Quit beating around the bush. Out with it.
