I wonder what Cassandra of Troy would have to say?

What if it all goes sideways in righteous and profound ways nobody saw coming?

The "done by Christmas" Beetlejuice invocations are already echoing <paging WWI ..>

We are sending pilot instructors for F-16s. So there's that.

Cassandra would have said, "Why bother? No one would believe me anyway."

As far as "sideways in righteous and profound ways" goes, that is both a great expression and a very real possibility. "There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamed of in your philosophy."

I have always thought that the most important phrase in "I'll be home for Christmas" is "if only in my dreams."

"Mars, they might realize, has songs on his MP3 player other than Das Panzer Lied."

Killer line. Bravo.
