re: #130 That’s Mr. President to you
Hello citizens.
Despite the fact that I am tired, I have decided to allocate some of my valuable time to post here.
This is yet another effort by me to reach out to those who did not support me in the general election. While not supporting me represents a serious lack of judgment on your part, I was in the helicopter this morning and realized that I should help correct your errant thinking on all of these distractions you obsess over - like these paranoid delusions that this country might be “attacked” by “terrorists” or that
the Zionist EntityIsrael is somehow threatened by Iran.So I will give some of my considerable talents (probably in vain) to convince some of you to stop clinging to your Bibles and guns and realize that I know what is best for you.
Nice Obama impression. Still you’ve got add some “Uh”s to get it perfect. Also, you might try having a teleprompter as an avatar.

Usually when Biden is saying stupid stuff—which is about as often as Michael Moore going back for seconds—he’s actually being honest.
That’s true. It’s probably why Biden will be the most hidden VP in history.
I always wondered why BO picked such a bumbling fool for a VP. Then I decided it was a security decision. He thinks he’ll never get impeached if Biden is the alternative.

Give me some Hank Williams or Merle Haggard or Johnny Cash and I’d be cool all night. But not the classic rock songs redone over and over with twangy lyrics, lap guitar solos, and bimbo’s line dancing in the video. y-y-yawwwwn.

One thing you just have to understand about a shotgun. To be effective you need to aim it sidways.
And keep it about six inches away from your shoulder when you pull the trigger. Trust me on this :-)
Interesting. During the much admired transition, I spoke to Dick Cheney (OK - I allowed him to address me) and he recommended a similar shooting posture. He told me that the most sophisticated shotgun operators use the shotgun almost as if it were a blow tube for blowing darts. He showed me by using an umbrella as a substitute and claimed that “a great, rugged man from American literary history” had used such a posture once and was famous for it.
An interesting fact about Hemingway - something that I hadn’t learned at Columbia.

re: #275 Killgore Trout
Just popped up on Digg……
Michael Ruse on Darwinism
An interesting commentary on the debate.
Interesting but chaotic to the point of incomprehensibility. I agree with him that, for creationists, evolution is a rallying banner for cultural issues more than a scientific theory. But he segues into Hillary Clinton in a pantsuit (huh?) and talks about younger people saying “I agree with you on abortion, what about global warming” (for? against? with whom are they agreeing?).
And toward the end he opines that Obama is a symbol of the possibility to bridge cultural gaps between evangelicals and evolutionists. That reveals him as entirely ignorant of American sociology. Obama is a symbol, a symptom I should say, of the electorate’s capacity for self-delusion.

Got American stuff growing there - started with plants from Maui and Humbolt. Looking to get hooked up with some of that shit from the Smokey Mountains.

From the Department of Wishful Thinking, this announcement from the State Department:
U.S. Welcomes Agreement on Gaza Weapons Smuggling
Robert Wood
Acting Department Spokesman, Office of the Spokesman
Bureau of Public Affairs
Washington, DC
March 16, 2009
The Department of State welcomes the March 13 agreement in London by representatives of nine countries (Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States) on a program of action in response to concerns over continued smuggling of weapons into Gaza. This initiative will strengthen the international community’s ability to support a durable cease-fire. The Program of Action provides a comprehensive platform for enhanced cooperation and coordination in the areas of information and intelligence sharing; diplomatic engagement; and military and law enforcement activities.
The initiative should be seen in the context of relevant UN Security Council resolutions as well as counterterrorism and non-proliferation regimes. Countries will meet on a regular basis to review common efforts.
Working with our partners, the United States is committed to move forward quickly with the new mechanism to seek to block arms shipments to Gaza, which constitute a threat to regional peace and security and put innocent lives of Israelis and Palestinians at risk.

I still can’t wrap my brain around it politically. From the moment an administration gets in, they are looking at running the second election 4 years down the road.
Actually having something like this come to fruition under your watch, despite what the ends are would almost in the Willie Horton file to me.

Meanwhile, south of the border…
A long-simmering trade dispute boiled over into sanctions on Monday after Mexico said it would raise tariffs on $2.4 billion of US exports in retaliation for ending a pilot programme to allow Mexican trucks on American roads.
The sanctions, which Mexican officials say are set to be imposed later this week, will be one of the largest acts of retaliation against US exports. US goods exports to Mexico totalled $151.5 billion last year.

Everyone here knows that I am not the biggest fan of Obama, but there is something very inappropriate making such personal attacks. Honestly, I come from a place where insulting a man’s wife is asking for an ass-whupping. It’s honestly just against my guy code to do it.

Goldilocks & the three bears
A far more accurate account in the Bears’ house of the events on that fateful morning…
Baby bear goes downstairs, sits in his small chair at the table. He looks into his small bowl. It is empty. “Who’s been eating my porridge?” he squeaks.
Daddy Bear arrives at the big table and sits in his big chair. He looks into his big bowl and it is also empty. “Who’s been eating my porridge?!?” he roars.
Mummy Bear puts her head through the serving hatch from the kitchen and yells, “For God’s sake, how many times do I have to go through this with you idiots?
It was Mummy Bear who got up first.
It was Mummy Bear who woke everyone in the house.
It was Mummy Bear who made the coffee.
It was Mummy Bear who unloaded the dishwasher from last night and put everything away.
It was Mummy Bear who swept the floor in the kitchen.
It was Mummy Bear who went out in the cold early morning air to fetch the newspaper and croissants.
It was Mummy Bear who set the damn table.
It was Mummy Bear who walked the bloody dog, cleaned the cats’ litter tray, gave them their food, and refilled their water.
And now that you’ve decided to drag your sorry bear-asses downstairs and grace Mummy Bear with your grumpy presence, listen carefully, because I’m only going to say this once….

re: #535 revobob
OK- point taken, and I agree that we shouldn’t descend to the level of our opponents. I do think that if a spouse takes on a highly visible role (as I believe Michelle is) then a certain amount of um, uh, contructive commentary may not be completely inappropriate.
I despise Michelle.
She took advantage of affirmative-action at Princeton, and got her diploma by writing about woe-is-me how uncomfortable it felt being an affirmative-action graduate. She then got a $100k patronage job at University of Chicago, and tripled even that queenly salary when hubby got into the Senate.
She deserves, at the very least, public humiliation. What she really deserves is a fine and a stint in a Cook County jail, for cheating the universities and workplaces through which her career went.

Of course not. The Clintons can actually pretend to listen to people. The Obamas can’t, they just look like they’re enduring the other side spouting off before they go with what they’d already said they were going to do.

re: #568 jcm
And how long before it disappears into the ether because it doesn’t have a business plan on how to actually make money? It’s now nothing more than a glorified blog with paid staffers (for the moment, that is). It’s let go most of the reporters and editorial staff. I can’t say I’m sorry to see the Dumb as a Post-Intelligencer go, primarily because they treated the consumer with such disdain. They chose to alienate 50%+ of the population with their partisan drivel spread throughout their paper beyond the editorial page, and then they complain that bloggers are the cause for their dismal business performance.
Funny thing is that bloggers are a prime audience for media outlets and instead of treating them as the enemy, they should be working to improve the product.
Of course, they have the bottom line to deal with, and a paper product that can’t compete with craigslist for classified or online services for real estate or ad space isn’t going to last long. And being solely online means that they will not have any potential advantages over the online entities like craigslist either. They will be pushing content created by others - a mere aggregator, and those are a dime a dozen. Heck, many blogs now have news widgets that give them the ability to push news and weather and all kinds of items to their readers.
Hearst has huge problems still, and they aren’t going to be solved by presiding over the online only venture.

How can you be so certain she took advantage of affirmative action to get into Princeton? That assumes that she was not qualified on her own to get in. I have never seen her highschool transcript or application.
If she wrote an essay about the woes of affirmative action, then perhaps having people assume that she must not have been qualified because of affirmative action is actually a valid complaint.
As to the 100,000k a year patronage job - show me a politically connected family in the past century that hasn’t used that to their advantage. I’m not saying that it is right, but I am not prepared to suddenly assume that she desrves jail time either.

Please pardon what may seem like chiding - but I really think that the family life and family members of politicians should be off limits - unless they too are directly involved in politics.
Everyone here knows that I am not the biggest fan of Obama, but there is something very inappropriate making such personal attacks. Honestly, I come from a place where insulting a man’s wife is asking for an ass-whupping. It’s honestly just against my guy code to do it. And honestly, even if their marriage was bad, gloating over it is just mean.
I know there are some who will disagree with me here - and you may be right, but I really do not get the same vibe off of Michelle Obama that I get off of Hillary.
Oh, I think that WAB is just as ambitious, opportunistic, and manipulative as Her Thighness and will endeavor to use her new bully pulpit as First Lady soon enough, mark my words.
Hell, just remember what she said and did during the election…that’s should be a clue that she’s not going to be anywhere near as classy in the First Lady position as Laura Bush.

There are chunks that stay potato or carrot or beef, but there’s also a richly flavorful gravy that holds bits from all the elements in the stew, and makes the stew so delicious.
Mmmm. Stew…
I do not like comparisons of human beings to “melting pot” “salad” or “stew.”
How about “Soylent White,” “Soylent Brown,” “Soylent Black”?

she is a hateful racist.
I am well aware of Rev Wright - who is a hateful racist. It is not clear to me how much of being involved with him was B. Obama being a cowardly politician and trying to curry favor with his angry base in Chicago and how much was stuff that Michelle is actually in to.
I am saying I do not know this and it is unfair to assume it. If it is true - and you may be correct and have the ten dozen links to back it up - I may be wrong - you may be right - but even if it is correct, rooting that their marriage goes south is still not something a mensch would do.

Yeah, I know. My dad was in that group of drag racers from the early 60’s. He bought in 63, a Fury with a 426 Max Wedge specifically for racing, and then the exact same car with a 318 poly for towing.
It breaks my heart to say it, but I flipped the GTX 6 times through a corn field in the mid 80’s. Lucky to be alive on that one.
Just to exemplify how right you are, even without a straight piece of metal on the car, someone bought it for the title, exhaust tips, and markings to convert a Belvedere into a GTX.

Ten years ago I was required to attend a “workplace diversity” luncheon where non-kosher food was served! I ate irony for lunch.
My favorite was the multicultural workshop where we:
1. Ate trayf food,
2. Were required to engage in cross-gender hugging and touching,
3. When we played the ‘identity’ game, Pakistan was defined as ‘Middle Eastern’
and 4. We were told repeatedly how important it was to understand the cultures of others.
All I could think was that an Orthodox Jew or observant Muslim would be SOL at this fricking event. I evaded the bologna sandwiches but hugged dutifully. Have you ever been back to back, arms locked, with a fifteen year old boy and had the event organizer tell you to ‘shake your booty’?

re: #643 LudwigVanQuixote
How can you be so certain she took advantage of affirmative action to get into Princeton? That assumes that she was not qualified on her own to get in. I have never seen her highschool transcript or application.
“For Michelle, Craig’s easy success was intimidating. “She was disappointed in herself,” her mother tells NEWSWEEK. “She used to have a little bit of trouble with tests, so she did whatever she had to, to make up for that. I’m sure it was psychological because she was hardworking and she had a brother who could pass a test just by carrying a book under his arm. When you are around someone like that, even if you are OK, you want to be as good or better.”
“She did well in school (she skipped second grade), but she was not at the top of her class. She didn’t get the attention of the school’s college counselors, who helped the brightest students find spots at prestigious universities. “Princeton, the Ivy Leagues swoop up kids” like Craig, Michelle says. “A black kid from the South Side of Chicago that plays basketball and is smart. He was getting in everywhere. But I knew him, and I knew his study habits, and I was, like, ‘I can do that too’.” Some of her teachers told her she didn’t have the grades or test scores to make it to the Ivies. But she applied to Princeton and was accepted.”
I don’t “know” she was an AA beneficiary; but it’s pretty clear that this was someone who, if she’d been Asian, would have been laughed out of the admissions office.
As to the 100,000k a year patronage job - show me a politically connected family in the past century that hasn’t used that to their advantage. I’m not saying that it is right, but I am not prepared to suddenly assume that she desrves jail time either.
Everybody does it, so political corruption is ok?
I’m filing that comment under “defining deviancy down”, subheading “from people who should know better”.

I was in a car dealership in Poplar Bluff, MO and chatting with the salesman about this and that and expressed admiration regarding the late ’60s Mopar ragtop on the sales floor. I belonged to the business owner since new.
Beautiful ride with flawless paint. Salesman says, “Yeah, it looks good on the outside, but not on closer inspection.” He popped the trunk and there were these huge slashes on the inside like someone had taken an ax to the body, and the ax-work had been covered by a Bondo-expert.
“What happened here?”
Boss’ first wife found the car parked in front of the boss’ girlfriend’s house and took an ax to it. Under that flawless paint were, to hear the salesman tell it, almost 300 ax-slashes into the body.
I was pretty impressed. I’ve used an ax, and you swing that bad boy 300 times quick, and you’ve had yourself a cardio workout for sure.

If you would take the time to read the thesis and if you have any experience with college level writing, it would be difficult to reach any other conclusion than that she was not admitted based on intellectual prowess. The thesis is wooden, dull, and racist, and could have been written by any racially disgruntled high schooler.

Been visiting LGF since my 2nd year of university back in 2004, just caught the window to register tonight.
This is a great site, I found it via a mistaken google search for zombie stuff (not the photojournalist, but the kind that eat brains) Found the photojournalist, and couldn’t believe the stuff he/she photographed. Looked into it a bit and found that the stuff I had been force fed during my highschool life was put forward by the likes of Code Pink and ANSWER. Then I found this site, been coming every day, looking to register, always missed the window.
Anyways, That’s why this is my first post, look to join in many more discussions

This is a great site, I found it via a mistaken google search for zombie stuff (not the photojournalist, but the kind that eat brains) Found the photojournalist, and couldn’t believe the stuff he/she photographed. Looked into it a bit and found that the stuff I had been force fed during my highschool life was put forward by the likes of Code Pink and ANSWER. Then I found this site, been coming every day, looking to register, always missed the window.
Anyways, That’s why this is my first post, look to join in many more discussions
Cheers From Canada

Has the topic of obama making vets liable for health costs been discussed yet?
This, to me, has to be the absolutely biggest fu that obama has yet to make.
Unbelievable…. all for the sake of a mere 510-million… the very last 510-million the government should be trying to save. The ignorance wafting out of D.C. is truly stupefying….

The Seven Dwarfs go to the Vatican, and because they are “the seven Dwarfs” they get ushered in to see the Pope.
Dopey leads the pack.
“Dopey my son,” says the Pope, “what can I do for you?”
Dopey asks, “Excuse me, Your Excellency, but are there any dwarf nuns in Rome?”
The Pope wrinkles his brow at the odd question, thinks for a moment and answers, “No Dopey, there are no dwarf nuns in Rome.”
In the background a few of the dwarfs begin giggling.
Dopey turns around and gives them a glare, silencing them.
Dopey turns back to face the Pope.
“Your Worship, are there any dwarf nuns in all of Europe?”
The Pope, puzzled again, thinks for a moment and then answers, “No Dopey, there are no dwarf nuns in all of Europe.”
This time all the other dwarfs burst into laughter.
Once again, Dopey turns around and silences them all with an angry glare.
Dopey turns back to the Pope and says, “Mr. Pope, are there ANY dwarf nuns in the whole world?”
The Pope answers, “I’m sorry, my son, there are no dwarf nuns anywhere in the world.”
The other dwarfs collapse into a heap, rolling, and laughing, pounding on the floor, tears rolling down their cheeks as they begin chanting:
“Dopey screwed a penguin!”
“Dopey screwed a penguin!”

re: #714 pink freud
Her thesis is linked in four parts at the end of paragraph one. Here’s part one.
If you would take the time to read the thesis and if you have any experience with college level writing, it would be difficult to reach any other conclusion than that she was not admitted based on intellectual prowess. The thesis is wooden, dull, and racist, and could have been written by any racially disgruntled high schooler.
She has the “po po me” mentality down pat. Not a scholarly work by any stretch of the imagination.
Given that I teach at a major university, I have some experience with academic writing. I will give it a read. However - even if it is everything you say it is, even if I hate every word of it, she should only be attacked on points of policy if and when she insinuates herself into it. It could be that she is a more ferocious Hillary in the making - maybe so - but she isn’t yet. And right now she is being made a target because it is a cheap way to attack Obama himself.
Attacking a man through his wife is just not cool.

Reading that one would imagine style, grace, class …an elegant composure, a gentlewoman, a person with a sense of justice and fairness, of equality and fair play, someone with an altruistic streak, self composure, and compassion.
Instead, we got WAB.

Hey Guys
Been visiting LGF since my 2nd year of university back in 2004, just caught the window to register tonight.
This is a great site, I found it via a mistaken google search for zombie stuff (not the photojournalist, but the kind that eat brains) Found the photojournalist, and couldn’t believe the stuff he/she photographed. Looked into it a bit and found that the stuff I had been force fed during my highschool life was put forward by the likes of Code Pink and ANSWER. Then I found this site, been coming every day, looking to register, always missed the window.
Anyways, That’s why this is my first post, look to join in many more discussions

If the 0 finds a way to block or go get the monies, then a precedent will have been made that the government can decide and go after (without taxing) anyone’s income they feel is not in line with what they believe to be the value of your job.
Use the Tax Code to Reclaim the AIG Bonuses
Larry Summers claims that nothing can be done about the AIG bonuses. As a former Secretary of the Treasury, he should know better.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner should direct the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to challenge the AIG bonuses as unreasonable compensation under the Internal Revenue Code. Finding the AIG bonuses to be unreasonable compensation would render them nondeductible for federal tax purposes, and would strengthen potential shareholder derivative suits to recapture The Great AIG Giveaway. …
If the AIG bonuses are determined to be unreasonable compensation, AIG would be unable to deduct such compensation for federal income tax purposes. The American taxpayers would thereby recoup some of the money they advanced to keep AIG solvent, money which wound up instead in the pockets of AIG’s managers. Even if AIG does not owe any federal income tax this year, challenging the bonuses as unreasonable compensation prevents AIG from carrying the deduction forward for use as Net Operating Losses (NOLs) to offset future corporate earnings and thereby reduce AIG’s future income taxes.
Determining these bonuses to be unreasonable compensation will also benefit AIG’s shareholders. Corporate law allows a shareholder to bring a derivative action against the board of a corporation for recovery of excessive executive compensation. These shareholder claims will be buttressed by an IRS determination that the AIG bonuses are unreasonable.

VFW Against VA Collection Increase Proposal
Washington, March 4, 2009 - The national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. wants the Obama administration to kill a controversial budget proposal that would bill veterans with private health insurance for the care they receive for their service-connected disabilities and wounds.
“It is unconscionable to pass along the costs of war to wounded and disabled veterans,” said the VFW’s Glen M. Gardner Jr., a Vietnam veteran from Round Rock, Texas. “This is one policy proposal that the VFW will work hard to defeat because it breaks a sacred trust that veterans have with their government.”
The administration proposed Thursday that the Department of Veterans Affairs would receive $55.9 billion in discretionary funding in fiscal year 2010, an amount that exceeds the current year budget by $5.5 billion.

Two Irishmen, Patrick Murphy and Shawn O’Brian grew up together and were lifelong friends. But alas, Patrick developed cancer, and was dying. While on his deathbed, Patrick called to his buddy, Shawn, “O’Brian, come ‘ere. I ‘ave a request for ye.” Shawn walked to his friend’s bedside and kneels.
“Shawny ole boy, we’ve been friends all our lives, and now I’m leaving ‘ere. I ‘ave one last request fir ye to do.”
O’Brian burst into tears, “Anything Patrick, anything ye wish. It’s done.”
“Well, under me bed is a box containing a bottle of the finest whiskey in all of Ireland. Bottled the year I was born it was. After I die, and they plant me in the ground, I want you to pour that fine whiskey over me grave so it might soak into me bones and I’ll be able to enjoy it for all eternity.”
O’Brian was overcome by the beauty and in the true Irish spirit of his friend’s request, he asked, “Aye, tis a fine thing you ask of me, and I will pour the whiskey. But, might I strain it through me kidneys first?”

We both thought we’d made a good deal.
I think you both made out. The SP was a sporty version of the RX-3. I never had one but I would like to have one now. I haa d side business of rebuilding rotary engine Mazdas and selling them. That is how how I met my first wife.She bought an RX-2 I put in the paper and kept coming back for more service.

re: #893 Dustyvet
Speaking of the VA, I had a question to throw out there.
My husband is out of work, and has a gap of several years in his resume. Hoping to mend the gap, or at least get him out of the house, I suggested volunteering.
Since hubby hates poor people, rich people, young people, old people, environmentalists, politicians and most forms of religion, we weren’t sure where to start. After examining our charitable giving record, such as it is, I determined that the only two groups in American society he has willingly given his own money to are dogs and soldiers.
(“Also kittens,” hubby adds, “when they’re cute little baby kittens. When they turn into cats they become evil.”)
Anyway, we were wondering if there were veteran’s orgs out there that need volunteers. Ideally, he’d like to do paperwork, data entry, dull office stuff. He is not, as you may have gathered, a people person.
We sent a form request to the VA’s website, but they haven’t got back to us yet. Does anyone know anyone to call, or have an idea? SF or the East Bay would be fine.

For those still trying to digest the lump in the stomach reality of it. “Change” was not a slogan, but a promise. America’s first punk president is a hard charging believer who will continue to confidently deliver, through the modern miracle of the teleprompter, his vision of ‘justice’ in America - in complete harmony with the Pelosi Congress.
And there is no meaningful opposition. Republicans in Congress are completely ineffectual if not intimidated. Milquetoast McConnell and Michael (spine not of) Steele? Without leadership, without spokes folks who can make a counter argument, the ‘fun’ has only begun.
Middle America is going to have to entrench and try to hold. This is seldom successful in war, and politics is just an extension thereof.

The hidden side of Noble’s life finally intruded into the public spotlight when the news broke that Noble, 58, had been arrested Jan. 18, after allegedly making a drunken U-turn on Interstate 5, driving his car headlong into an oncoming car, injuring two women and himself.

While some Democratic and Republican party leaders have called for his resignation,…

“I know him pretty well,” said King County Democratic Party Chairwoman Susan Sheary. “It’s mind-boggling to me. He is so quiet, so reserved, such a gentleman.

“Plenty of elected officials have overcome a simple DUI issue, but this case is so severe that it’s likely a career-ending problem,” said Democratic political consultant Christian Sinderman.

What really bothers me is that if someone is a ‘celebrity’ of any kind, they can literally get away with murder.
Somehow they are held to a different standard. Look at the scandals re re growth hormone, etc., and how fans still adore the users. If it was their kid? They would be livid.
A hero? Some ordinary Joe or Joan, who is serving in the Military. A really good school teacher, a cop, a fireman, a volunteer.
Being a New Yorker? To me, those who were involved on a date that seems to be nearly forgotten: 9/11/01, where countless heroes rescued people, and never even mentioned it; those who were First Responders, who also lost their lives, etc., and President Bush, who came to Ground One, dressed in everyday clothing, to talk to the First Responders…and a real First Lady, Laura Bush, who quietly went to elementary schools that were near Ground Zero to read to the kids, and comfort them.
And our everlasting thanks go to the fire brigades, etc., from all over, and the Bobbies from the UK who came to NYC to help. They are true heroes.
And there are those who are despicable, who claimed that either they, or a parent, or friend were there to help, and lied to draw attention.
I can never forget…some of our kids and daughter in a daughter in law and future son in law were in the city, or on their way to work. They are not the same people they were on 9/10/01…very different priorities.
Sorry for the rant, but the cult of celebrity makes me furious. We really need to find a different sort of hero…like my son in law’s Mum, who has cancer, and who’s leg was amputated last Wednesday. She is still medicated, and now in a rehab center, then back home this week, then back to the center. I only wish our government with their incredible medical coverage could find out what it is like to have something this life-altering happen, and be discharged only 2 days after an amputation….then maybe all of us would have better coverage.
And she was in a very good medical center in Philly, and also the rehab center, a new one, is where she will have to be in and put of.
We are all on Medicare…the grandparents, that is. Feh.
OJ deserved the death penalty, damn it.I wonder how those poor kids are growing up and what they will do with their lives.

About 4000 years ago, it was the accepted practice in Babylonia that for a month after the wedding, the bride’s father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer, and because their calender was lunar based, this period was called the “honey month” or what we know to day as the “Honey moon”
Before invention of the thermometer, brewers used to check the temperature by dipping their thumb, to find whether appropriate for adding Yeast. Too hot, the yeast would die. This is where we get the phrase ” The Rule of the Thumb”
In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts. So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender used to yell at themto mind their own pints and quarts and settle down. From where we get “mind your own P’s and Q’s”.
After consuming a vibrant brew called Aul or Ale, the Vikings would go fearlessly to the battlefield, without their armour, or even their shirts. The “Berserk” means “bear shirt” in norse, and eventually to the meaning of wild battles.
Way down in 1740, the Admiral Veron of the British fleet decided to water down the navy’s rum, which naturally, the sailors weren’t pleased with. They nicknamed the Admiral Old Grog, after the still stiff grogram coats he used to wear. The term grog soon began to mean the watered down drink itself. When you are drunk on this this grog, you are “groggy”, a word still in use.
Long ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim of their beer mugs or ceremic/glass cups. The whistle was used to order services. Thus we get the phrase, “wet your whistle”.

We did the good citizen thing and stopped to help. I was uncomfortable with it, you know. Alone, at night, and no gun are three reasons to stay in the car and go on. Call the cops and let them take care of it.
We ultimately did, but that was one time I was glad to see John Law pull around. Let them worry if it’s some crackhead that decides he wants to boost his first degree felony grand theft auto, for some additional kidnapping and eventual murder.
Something similar happened to my most recent ex’s grandmother. She barely survived. Dude choked her out and left her for dead.
