I agree! What the hell are the clowns in Congress thinking. Not mandating all Covid shots for all troops is like aiding the enemy as Covid again runs rampant through warships and bases. Who is going to man that line!

And how do you maintain chain of command and joie d’esprit if your commander’s edict can be politicized?

Yes! That news wore me out... perhaps my initial reaction was immature and shallow, but I could not say anything other than, 'well good for you... I'm eager to see how that works out for you...'

I get it. Rand Paul and Miss Lindsey. Eyeroll.

Poor Lindsey Graham. I really mean that. Never anything much to write home about, he has debased himself so far now that my main reaction to him is just to cringe and look away. How does someone get like that? Coming from the Deep South myself, I am willing to speculate that one too many first cousins decided to keep things in the family.

or also maybe something in the water? my whole maternal side is from just about as deep south as it gets, and brains is not something they have in abundance; the SMART ones call themselves "Libertarians." one cousin of mine is so libertarian that he landed at LaGuardia with two loaded handguns in his luggage. needless to say, his arrest only served to justify his politics. in his head. and HIS first cousin is somewhere in witness protection.

when anybody asked my great-grandpa where he was from, he'd say "Little Rock, Arkansas," but in an almost impenetrable Yiddish accent.

Definitely in the water from whatever the textile plants dumped at the head of the stream. The impenetrable Yiddish accent has give me my happiest moment of the day. Thanks, David.
