RX: "Oh, no, not the Indianapolis 9/11 Memorial... You know what the Pearl Harbor Memorial was? Piles of dead Japs!"Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Me: "This is going on the internet."
RX: "All I'm saying is 9/11 happened, and we need to go out and kill some Japs!"
Your roomie is pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe true Pearl Harbor memorial was two smoking craters where Hiroshima and Nagasaki once say. I'd like to point out that Mecca and Medina are just sitting there.
ReplyDeleteAnd while we're on the subject of urban renewal of blighted areas, there is a hill in Jerusalem that needs some bulldozing.
ReplyDeleteI SAW THE TOWERS COME DOWN FROM THE ROOF
ReplyDeleteOF MY APARTMENT I REMEMBER THE SMOKE AND GRITTY ASH THAT CRUNCHED UNDERFOOT
THE RUINS THAT SMOLDERED FOR WEEKS TILL THE SUB BASEMENTS WERE DUG OUT THE MANY
FOOLISH EPISODES IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE GOVERNMENT AND MEDIA TRYING TO LOOK GOOD RATHER THAN BE EFFECTIVE
WHILE A CARTHAGINIAN PEACE IMPOSED ON THE PERPETRATORS WOULD HAVE BEEN A START TO MY ANSWER OUR GOVERNMENTS HAVE TAKEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO EMBARK ON A RATHER COSTLY DISPLAY TO SACRIFICE THE BLOOD COURAGE OF OUR NATIONS BEST AND BRIGHTEST TO ACHIEVE RATHER NEBULOUS RESULTS AT BEST ALL THE WHILE EXPANDING THE BUREAUCRACY CURTAILING OUR RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES AND BANKRUPTING THE REPUBLIC
IF YOU CAN SPARE THE TIME ASK ME HOW I REALLY FEEL SOMETIME THE WOUNDS HAVE NOT HEALED
Amen. I am glad to see I am not the only one who wants a Carthagenian solution.

ReplyDeleteHell no! And it ain't over now!
ReplyDelete"Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"
ReplyDeleteYou tell me. From the time McVeigh was caught for the Oklahoma City Bombing until he got the Needle, it was just over 6 years (19 April 1995-11 June 2001).
Meanwhile, the Ringleaders of 9/11 are still in Gitmo, and the Ft.Hood Murderer is having his Court Martial delayed while they are appealing whether he has the Constitutional Right to have a Beard.
But the same Administration who should have wrapped all this up by now is going after a Navy Seal Warrior who was there at the Bin Laden Removal Party because he decided to tell the truth.
And we are in "Peace Talks" with the Taliban, while they do Sneak Attacks on our Troops, dressed like American Soldiers, just like they were taking a page from the SS's Playbook during the Battle of the
Bulge.
But Kipling warned us all a long time ago about paying "Danegeld." Guess some people never learn.
Was that the "morning news" or the "mourning news?"

Don't worry, our nation is still in the posture of submission. Our leadership is still afraid, very afraid.
ReplyDeleteI say we go bomb Vietnam some more. They'd never see it coming!
ReplyDelete(I am, of course, joking.)
How'd you get that Model 28 teletype hooked up to the internet, Navigator?

There are plenty of piles of dead Iraqis and Afghans, they just lack news value here.
ReplyDelete"Germans?"
ReplyDelete"Forget it, she's rolling."

ReplyDeleteI was stationed in pearl harbor, and one day a very self-effacing japense couple walk up, with two little kids.
