Sweater Nite 20

The Granddaddy of them all is right around the corner....I am currently Fielding bids from the prospective hosts.... although it will be tough to top the LIEF...... possible dates include Saturday March 3rd.... Which is hockey day in America.....and Friday February 23rd.....the Olympic semifinals are on FM pyongeung at 3:30 and 7:00 A.M........could make for a long day...... perhaps it will be the first sweater nite with a scheduled siesta break.

I shall return

As Douglas McArthur said of the Philippines while in Australia...and he of course did and the United States military liberated the Fillipinos.... you would think that they would be greatful.... I can tell you first hand that they are not....they hate and resent America....and if the truth ever comes out I think it will show that the ACX Crystal deliberately slammed into the USS Fitzgerald....an act of terror...an act of war.....our enemies are everywhere....some obvious.... some in sheep's clothing.

Tomorrow..... maybe go.... beneath the ground

I'm feeling a bit like the Dark Peter character that Jerry sang of.... I'm surrounded by bad news.....in politics, in sports, technology, the brokerage industry, my commute.....bleak outlooks at every turn in the road.......and now sadly.... even in my BEER.........the American craft brewing industry was one of the few bright spots in this country....but it's all deception....INBEV.....the blegiam/Brazilian conglomerate that bought Anheauser Bush a decade ago has quietly been snapping up some of America's best little breweries....they have been cutting deals with MLB stadiums and selling their Budweiser products of course.....but also THEIR craft beers ( which technically by definition are no longer true craft beers) Sam Adams and Coors ....2 Great American Brewers have been kicked to the curb at a number of stadiums (including Nationals park in our nation's capital).....these sneaky bastards are building these craft beer lodges around the country where they pitch THEIR beers to the dopey AMERICANS who think they are supporting the little guy.... what is wrong with this country.....why does every successful business cash out at the first opportunity and sell it's blood and soul to a bigger , sometimes foreign fish...... BLUE Point Brewing of Long island has a great website....real NY attitude loaded with curses and a we don't give a fuck approach.. just a bunch of guys that Brew beer for themselves and then sell whatever is left over.... awesome....but it too is bullshit....owned by inbev but designed to appear local.... I smelled a rat..... I looked it up.....I was right....GOLDEN ROAD of Los Angeles ? One of the best IPA's I have ever had.....inbev........ Goose Island of Chicago ? .....inbev....... BRECKENRIDGE Brewery....a delicious beer from the Rockies ?.....inbev..... Elysian....Four Peaks and Devil's Backbone are just a few of the others.... never mind the Syrian refugees.....we are under attack from the belgaminians....

The lesson today is how to die

I shudder to think what is being talked about today, if anything; in the classrooms around the world about the anniversary of the D-Day invasion.....how is it being spun ? I had one of the greatest days of my life in June of 1988 on the French Riviera.....I was asked (ordered) to take part in ceremony commemorating the Normandy invasion.....I was 23.....I wanted to be out of my dress uniform and back in the Bars of St Tropez as fast as possible....but our Weapons Officer.( LCDR Noble) ordered us to stick around for the reception.... I'm glad he did......we met with 14 or 15 surviving members of the French Resistance......the emotion and gratitude that these men showed while retelling their own stories about seeing the allied forces on THAT morning was overwhelming.....these guys shook our hands and gripped our arms and meant it......they could not describe the elation of seeing 200,000 men coming ashore to liberate their Country and destroy the Nazis.....I only hope THAT story is still being told around the world.....the one about teenagers of the allied forces giving their lives to free others.

blm

so a 5 year old boy was shot in the head while "visiting" his dad in the morrisania section of the Bronx.....somebody had to see something....if not the shooter.....certainly the intended target has a pretty good idea who was shootin at him.......lets see if black lives really do matter......or if this kid is just collateral damage.

Darkness

Until we realize we most certainly are at war with islam , We are doomed.....teach the truth in schools , prepare our next generation for war ( just like they have been doing for centuries)..... like idiots...the west has been Trying to broker Peace between isreal and palastine....and the palatinians only want the total destruction of isreal..... geuss what ? They're ain't gonna be peace.... move on..... support our allies, destroy our enemies.

Pissing Pug

As a 60 year old woman And a veteran of Wall Street for many years , I am delighted by the pissing pug statue next to that imposter "feàrless girl".....the BULL deserves better....the Bull is not evil.....more women like me got their opportunity in brokerage...... fearless girl didn't represent us..... Fearless girl was a publicity stunt by a mutual fund company to promote a lesbian, man hating mutual fund they were launching.... I like the pissing pug statue better.

Mister MET

Sad day for the blue and orange as our beloved Mascot has been unceremoniously kicked to the curb for making an obscene gesture.....the organization claims he flipped Off a fan .....but a closer look reveals that he only has 4 fingers......he doesn't have a middle digit.....let's Chip in for a good defense lawyer.
