of infamy.
When President Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered his, what has come to be known as the “day of infamy” speech,” he was alluding to the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor Naval Base on Sunday, December 7, 1941 by the Empire of Japan.
But unfortunately, it is not the only date which is infamous in American history.
I submit October 3, 1995.
Remember the white Bronco fiasco? The “if it does not fit, I’m full of shit,” Johnny Cochran defensive strategem (by the way, kiss my ass) and they let the killer skate.
Let’s add April 29, 1992 to today’s lesson.
“What happened on that date?”, you may ask.
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. (Thanks Marc Antony).
Not guilty on all counts (except one assault case which resulted in a hung jury).
Rodney King.
Here’s another, if not the new standard for world evil.
September 11, 2001.
God help me, I cannot take my eyes off the screen when the horrors of that date unfold every year on our TVs. When I think that there is only another generation or two that will not have known what 9/11 was all about, as it fades into the leaves of someone else’s vesion of history.
And last, but not least, January 6, 2021.
The Greatest Country on Planet Earth, the Land of the Free, Home of the Brave (except Uvalde, Texas), the United States of America, is a country divided by hatred, and crime is literally going unchecked, destroying entire cities.
Our police have lost the trust of those they are sworn to protect, and the craziest fucking thing of this whole pile of shit is people are dying in deserts and oceans just to try to get here.
Now,we could add several more dates, but our fuck-ups are just too great a number to list in a reasonable time frame.
I only listed some of the things that have happened in my lifetime, having missed the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (another great “achievement” of mankind) by a dozen years.
No wonder people don’t want to accept our true history; it’s ugly and downright embarassing.
But writing it down differently and saying it don’t make it so.
And yes, with the downright comical antics of our old buzzard politicians, including my boy Mitch McConnell and his freeze-ups, looking every bit like he just got kicked in the nuts by some pointy-toed steel-tipped Tony Lama’s, we definitely need to give these idiots an age limit.
So exactly who are you going to get to vote for this age-limit bill?
It’s all the old buzzards who are voting on the bill.
Think about it.
So that dumbass Luis Rubiales, ex-Spanish soccer president, resigned and very predictably so, for the unwanted kiss he planted on a women’s national team member.
Consensual.
Right.
I’ll get Olivia Benson involved, and she’ll turn it into a three-part episode of Law and Order: Special Victim’s Unit whether the player wants to press charges or not.
I will chat with you tomorrow.
Stay well.
