31. I'm having a bit of "tense anxiety". All these past tense references to things that won't happen

Sun Sep 15, 2013, 12:19 AM

Sep 2013

until mid-2014 is a bit unsettling. Verbal vertigo.

And while we're at it, when is the USA going to get rid of OUR stockpile of chemical WMDs? It is OK if I talk about that in the past tense too?

It is great that Obama got rid of chemical WMDs from both Syria and the USA without firing a shot. That was masterful.
