Overheard in the Hallway...

Roomie is wandering in and out of the hallway bathroom, getting ready for work. The TeeWee in her bedroom is playing the morning news.
RX: "Oh, no, not the Indianapolis 9/11 Memorial... You know what the Pearl Harbor Memorial was? Piles of dead Japs!"

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!"
Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

  2. The 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.

  3. And while we're on the subject of urban renewal of blighted areas, there is a hill in Jerusalem that needs some bulldozing.

    OF 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

  7. "Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

    You 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.

  8. Was that the "morning news" or the "mourning news?"

  9. Don't worry, our nation is still in the posture of submission. Our leadership is still afraid, very afraid.

  10. I say we go bomb Vietnam some more. They'd never see it coming!

    (I am, of course, joking.)

  17. I was stationed in pearl harbor, and one day a very self-effacing japense couple walk up, with two little kids.
    They ask, @Ah sir, do you know where the Arizona is?@
    I ask...do you mean the U.S.S Arizona?
    @Yes sir@

    I had to reply, @Where you fucking left it 45 years ago.@
