Hell, I'm still nervous about them for having elected a President who
looks like a middle-aged and embittered version of Ilya Kuriyakin.

Considering the source, I'd guess job related...something about knowing
what he had to know to do his job, especially.



They were very queasy about anything military related when I was over there.
It could be that the U.S. Navy wouldn't much prefer him to go over there

Lubyanka.

Job related, or did you just **** someone off?



Once could say job related - at least a job I used to have. The
