Tom O’Brien loves ABBA. We thought we just might come right out there and say that before anything else happens here. (HT: Bill.)

Later, O’Brien owned up to his ABBA addiction: “‘Dancing Queen’ is just hard to sit down to.”

Before ye cast any stones, consider two key facts. First, Tom O’Brien is a Marine, and therefore probably by category tougher than 98 percent of you currently not in ninja school or reading this on a laptop from the back of your donkey somewhere in the Hindu Kush as you travel in your duties as a Green Beret or SEAL. Even in aluminum foil loingerie (male version), he’s tougher than you are.

Second, “Dancing Queen” is a damn catchy song…no matter who’s covering it…
