Seen on a restroom wall at a dive bar called Moby Dick's in Port Aransas, TX, circa 1973:
I'm proud to be American
As proud as I can be.
I only wish I was a dog
And Nixon was a tree.
Is anyone willing to update this for a Lee Greenwood parody?

In ‘1984’, Orwell wrote about Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia.
Today, from Ben Meiselas, “…the Trump regime sees the world divided into “three spheres.” They see the United States controlling all of the Western Hemisphere, Russia controlling all of Europe, and China controlling all of Asia…”
Damn…

In December 2000, I started working in customer support with RIM/BlackBerry. On day one, I was handed a BlackBerry 950 handheld. I was with the company until July 2011, when 2500 of us were laid off. My email has been following me around - and I have been typing with my thumbs - for 25 years!

Hey Pete, last time I checked, Hegseth was a Nordic (specifically Norwegian) surname. You might not be a pagan, but you sure as hell are no Christian either.
