Call Rome.

Beware of flying pigs, and prepare for ice-skating in Hell.

For I agree with Pat Buchanan...

To my surprise, I do too.

But I think we're coming at it from different angles. Buchanan seems to think it desirable and practical that we, as a nation, put up a wall and live in our own little gated community. I disagree; just as the most obvious example, if we were somehow able to completely/magically close the Mexican border, California's economy would collapse within a week. However, I do think there are better roles for us to play in the international community than the drunken frat-boy bully looking for a fight, who doesn't understand why everyone thinks he's a jerk.

That was more or less my reaction, too.
