Our clandestine history in this country can be characterized by bungling ineptitude.
From exploding cigars to Ayatollah birthday cakes to psych/ops procurement requests, I see a bunch of fucking idiots.

We've had our moments. The shit we pulled in Moscow under the KGB's nose defies imagination.
Usually it was sellouts in the CIA that blew our cover.

That was a good screw up...but not an espionage screw up.

When you import Lyme disease...which isn't called Lyme disease yet in the vector of ticks for bio-warfare experiments to an island within swimming distance of derr to an island, keep the ticks outdoors so deer and birds from the mainland can take them back to Old Lyme, CT.

Now we have a new disease....yay! That's what happened.

Hopefully, Turk will be done with his carbs by then. Sounds like a great time to put winter in our rear view mirror.
