I've never thought much fo Douglas MacArthur, who was massively egocentric and something less than totally competent as a theater commander in WWII. Today I discovered another reason to bitch about him. Read the Alt text for an explanation.

By tag-teaming Valenskyy two days ago with the express purpose of getting pissed off so he could "pause" aid, the Russian agent in the White Haus has now virtually guaranteed that Ukraine will fall to Russia.

(Yes, I said "agent." He's far worse than a mere asset.)

This is a 10-ounce (30cl) tumbler partially full of tomato juice. After filling it, I put it on the table and left the room, sure that it would be safe until the breakfast bread pudding was ready. The cats have proven me wrong. They'd have had more, but Barbara caught them red-tongued, as it were.

So, in my wanderings from the CBI to detached service in the ETO, I was lucky enough to hit Paris. Congratulate me; I didn't spend all my money. I did, however, snag a good pen to replace the one I forgot in Burma. If it looks like a Parker, it should. It's a Plexor. Read the Alt text for the story.

Ann Telnaes understands what I've been talking about since 2015. If you don't know what a Sturmabteilung is, look it up. And start polishing up your Not-see salute.
