"We have a rich, deep, culture of great writing, art, architecture, religious faith, and...manners. We don’t eat with our hands. We don’t slaughter animals in our back yards. We don’t twerk like whores and thunder around the stage mimicking group sex, breasts and buttocks flapping everywhere. We have formal dances that mirror and demonstrate wit, humor, beauty, consideration and care for the opposite sex. We want that back too."
-- Elizabeth Nickson

As a result, the president has “INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD.”
