Tis typical Ozy and Millie funniness really. Some serious dialogue followed by a Ozy and Millie brand Non-sequitor &#153;. Involving a possible Llewllyn invention to boot.

I wonder if what the Pez dispenser said is a reference to something.

You don't go to war with the army you want, you go with the army you have! I'm not being anti-war, but that is the only Donald Rumsfeld quote I know!

[NHJ BV]

Yeah, I think that's correct. Also, a large part of the US debt is owned by Americans, so the money does stay in the country. China's share is overrated.<br><br>The US trade balance deficit is more worrying, I think.

He was also the secretary of defense during Gerald Ford's administration. Also, has been the youngest secretary of defense and is now the oldest secretary of defense. 13th Secretary Of Defense under Ford and 21th Secretary Of Defense under George W. Bush. I like to watch Jeopardy!

I now recall a sketch from the TV show "Roundhouse" in which they advertise the Prez dispenser. Not of candy, but of hot air.
