The Washington post
The Answer is more weapons, what is the question?
The Outfits are from King Hussein, he sends them to every administration that counts on him to make peace.
The Butler did it.
The Falklands fighting didn't exactly do Thatcher any harm.
The Official answers are--(a) What? (b) Who, me? and (c) How's that again?
A Few drinks certainly won't affect a good driver like you.

Economic-political currency, and other contributions / Herblock, pseud.

The new gridlock.
The greased pig?
The other warheads.
A little crude, but essentially our kind of guy.
The American plague.
The jump-starting has begun already.
A bipartisan honeymoon record--I clocked it at ten seconds.
The Serbian air drops.
The battle for Bosnia.
