![]() Good Tuesday morning everybody! Oh, were to start? Let me start by saying that I’m flattered (and unfortunately for you, encouraged and inspired) by comments that I’ve received since yesterday’s post announcing yet another comeback (count on them every March, people). One commenter asked if that bastion of mediocrity in state government – ODOT – had cut off comms here in The Compound. They aren’t smart enough and besides they’re a lot like a box turtle…only come out when the weather warms and the weather is fine. That same person offered concerns that a black ops group had overrun The Compound. Nah, we’ve started shutting down the lights around The Compound at night (we have night vision cameras and scopes here at The Compound), they’ll never find us. Someone else thought perhaps I had been spirited away by an angry mob of Buick-driving spinster spiritualists. Hahaha…no, no…but, they WILL be back in October to begin trying to summon forth the ghost of Temple Houston. So, you have that to look forward to. Then there’s the guy who sends hate emails with some regularity. I’ve grown to ignore him for the most part. He wanted to know WHY I came back. Even the bunch in Israel that steal material from me and repost it on another site are happy that I’m back (they took March off too). Did you see the report go past yesterday that some group within ISIS has issued a hit list of some 8,700 people in the United States with their home addresses? I know I didn’t dream that. But network news last night didn’t cover it and I didn’t see anything about it in the early morning news. Hopefully, it was a hoax. Darn, I wanted a look at that list, if it exists. I mentioned it to The Wife who immediately commenced chain smoking filterless Pall Malls and chugging Old Crow Whiskey. She finally got her mind off things by packing for her next fabulous vacation at the end of the month. And, then The Trump screwed the pooch (Air Force term of endearment) yesterday when he publicly announced his son-in-law was in Iraq, when in fact he wasn’t there yet. That’s a major security protocol failure. The last thing you want is someone knowing ahead of time when U.S. envoys (such that they are) are in country. The White House immediately blamed the Air Force for the snafu, because the flight into Iraq was delayed and no one told the WH. Uh huh. What the hell is The Trump’s son-in-law doing there anyway? The guy has no military experience, no diplomatic experience, but he’s there to bring peace to the Middle East? Really? It just doesn’t make sense. Oh, maybe The Trump wants to open a golf resort is Mosul just as soon as he chases ISIS back whence they came? He can call it Mosulago…maybe, just maybe that list of 8,700+ are prospective country club members. Ah…the big picture. Could you imagine a golf resort in Mosul? It would play out like that scene in Apocalypse Now on the beach where the lunatic Colonel orders his men to surf despite taking fire from the edge of the jungle. The Trump: “If I say it’s safe to play golf, then it’s safe to play golf. Now, you either play golf or fight!” Well, hopefully someone will take away The Trump’s smartphone so he can’t Tweet the time of son-in-law’s departure. And, then, let’s see…the “media” did their best yesterday morning to whip the story of the release of the First Lady’s first official portrait as something causing “outrage and concern.” Again, really? In case, you’ve not seen the portrait, she’s wearing a $3,000 Dolce & Gabbana black blazer and sporting a 25-carat diamond ring. Typical American housewife, right? But, guess what? Nobody was outraged or concerned. Who cares? If you got it, flaunt it, that’s always been my motto (doesn’t translate well in Latin though). By the end of the day, those news outlets that dreamed of outrage and concern had changed their tune and were listing her modeling career highlights. She got the ring as a 10th anniversary gift from The Trump. I’m pretty sure that ten years of marriage is a record for him. Besides, 25 carats is a big chunk of rock. She can throw it at the next dumbass that scales the WH fence and incapacitate said scaler until the Secret Service morons can figure out someone has scaled the fence…again. I tell you, every day there’s something new with this bunch. The best part of yesterday was that it was opening day for Major League Baseball. The Nationals got a win on their first game out of the gate. Here at The Compound, of course, the only games they ever list on the channel selections is St. Louis and then MLB blacks it out. Rat bastards. The Compound is more than 600 miles away from St. Louis and you’re going to black out the game? Grrrrrr. Guess I’ll have to sign up for online access to see games this season. It’s a conspiracy, man! That is all! Comments are closed.
