Re: Andrew to the Tower?
BTW, I remember Slick Willy visiting Birkhall that year. The SS vehicles were spectacularly indiscreet. It was as if they were deliberately shouting "Hey guys, look who's here!". The locals, in the know, got a distinct impression that the SS detail fukkin hated their charge. I suspect it wasn't the...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
I felt like having a good laugh so have ordered a kindle copy of Bolton’s book now that Big Orange has failed to get the sale stopped. How the insults will fly. Reporter asked him why he kept hiring such ‘useless’ and ‘stupid’ people but an answer was not forthcoming. You put money in Bolton's pock...

Re: Canada loses bid to UN security seat - boo hoo
Further, I can imagine the scene where John Hill is faced with unreasoning, sudden violence:
"Stop! For I am filled with self-righteousness and the poke at thee with the Finger of Judgement!"
A previous generation might've referred to "the fickle finger of fate," but I chose not to,

Obviously you fear you cannot defend your wife if you feel it necessary for her to carry two guns everywhere. Love internet tough guys and/or sanctimony. Both are good for a laugh.

Grilling some of Texas' finest beef this evening, enjoying a coconut rum with lime juice, and looking out over my land with the literal as measured on a 1:250,000 twenty mile view.
The entire world including and especially all the craziness may kiss my a$$.

I did answer one of your questions. The first one. The answer is "none". As for what you call a man... I don’t know as your description does not fit. Both my legs are firmly planted on Canadian soil, except when I go shopping to Buffalo or visit BenThere in Ann Arbor. Or go shooting with brickhisto...

Re: Hong Kong
Spent my honeymoon in Hong Kong - six month prior to the abandonment. Frankly, the UK isn't going to do anything about it. Neither is the US. Is it in our vital national interest and therefore worthy of blood and treasure? Sadly, no. Neither is Taiwan which is the next to be gobbled up formally. We ...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel
So after an absolutely soul-crushing day at work ( is there anything worse than an brand new hungry O-6 in a peacetime military), I am quite drunk.
And I realize Winston Churchill was half-American.
Says a lot.
Good night. (no drunken videos. I do still have my dignity)

And you can do nothing but lie back and think of England when Washington comes calling.

I think of the unwashed masses here who can only press their snotty noses up against the glass while we Americans (welcome formally soon to those so engaged in joining us legally!

Today in America, it is Memorial Day. A day we designate to honor those citizens who gave their lives during wartime in order that we might continue and prosper.

I'll stick with my "lie back and think of England" thought. All variations on a them over there.
If you are content to lump all 'Mericans as one monolithic group, I'm happy to reciprocate.
