Whatevs, I'm gonna have me a bacon double cheese burger with some Freedom Fries on the side.

With a chocolate and vanilla milkshake, which they call the Riggs & Murtaugh.

In memoriam of the World Trade Center.

And to celebrate the House of Dien Bien Phu burning.

Ah well, they'll have a nice space available for a huge new shiny Mosque there as soon as they clear the rubble away.

No fan of Catholicism, but I’m very sad to see that place damaged. It’s a monument to human achievement and history.

They will rebuild.

Good thing they now got the entire place mapped by laser. 1 billion points of data. The margin of error is within 5 mm.

If you just keep making the same point over and over and over again, Smitty, I'm sure they'll eventually get how edgy you are.

Don't mind me, just shooting the breeze.

I don't weep for the Whore of Babylon.

Is that edgy?

Not where I come from.

America is a Protestant nation.

The Lord is with me, and so is the republic.

Oh, it's not edgy to call Catholicism the whore of babylon. But it's edy to keep repeating it to people you know will take the bait. Very definition of... trying to take things to the edge. Given that all you're getting in return are similarly dull variations of "the Queen is bullshit".

Smitty's anti-French Catholic remarks are a whole lot more substantive than the anti-Queen remarks of the other side though, and I say that as a Catholic.

Seems like it was the skill of the mediaeval stone masons which saved the interior.
The strength of the thin crypted ceiling kept out the burning roof timbers.

Of course, you could say that their hands were guided by God...

Get it right, Masons, as in Master Masons, the same ones the church later tried to get rid off. The same ones that later became part of the foundation of our Founding Fathers in the US.

Back then Master Masons were more than a description, it was also their jobs.
