Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for January 08, 2018

If that doesn’t end the siege I don’t know what will.

Firing blanks.

Early form of biological warfare, adapted for psychological warfare, hurling diseased minds into the enemy’s stronghold to spread contagion.

Lawyers, send in the lawyers. The Government and big companies win by sending in human wave attacks of lawyers, rank upon rank (and they are quite rank) of them.

The best diplomat I know is a fully charged phaser bank.

When do they toss the cow?

Looks like a crushing defeat.

Yep, that’s Rex’s approach, all right. But at this point, I think he and Nikki are the only employees left in the State Department.

That crossbar on top of the catapult could be a problem.

…and next up, the lawyers.

So, the red stains on the side of the castle will be known forever after as diplomacy?!

As one who risked his life in embassies abroad for 24 years I find the snide comments to be remarkably uninformed. Never mind. Fact is, we’re too likely to wait and send in the diplomats after we’ve bombed the placed to pieces and there is little hope of fixing what we’ve broken.
