Will's Good Idea for the Week of 3/7/21 and Observations

Another great hour long run on the treadmill. We are now dreaming about being at the gym and misplacing our shoes. What's up with that?

Let's see what the New York Post has to say about Andrew Cuomo. We really wonder if...oh my god! We've always believed it takes a lot of bravery for a woman to come forward decades after the fact and bravely talk about a man acting inappropriately around her. Reap it, Andy. 

You know, there's an idiot named Charles Blow at the NYT's who wrote that Pepe Le Pew contributed to 'rape culture'. No he didn't, schmuck. Pepe Le Pew taught me and a lot of boys like me to not be that guy. Charles Blow is a fuckhead.

As noted before whenever we see a story about teachers, school openings and vaccines we leave a snarky remark. Teachers are really feeling the public's general annoyance. Last night we posted about teachers getting on the New Jersey vaccine list, 'Think Ya'll can go back to work now?' we asked. One replied, 'I'm tired of coming home after teaching every day to this cr@p.' We're having a protest here in Bridgewater next Sunday.

As far as 'sneaking in' this summer and writing a novel, it's not so much what we want to write, but what can we write. We've spent lots of time on the treadmill thinking about World War 1990: The Weser. It's really well organized, mentally speaking. 

The Weser would begin with an opening blockbuster in which an American arty regiment buys time for retreating NATO forces with a massive barrage and fights on at point blank range till annihilation. There'd be a scene at SACEUR HQ describing the situation and the counterattack.  Battered and exhausted West Germans see the enthusiastic Americans coming up the road to get into fight...We may make this a National Guard division, the Rainbows? From there we'd write a chapter dedicated to each nation involved in the counterattack, the US, Brits, French. 

The Israeli thing makes a ton of sense though. It's a solid business decision. Unless it's been too long.

Here's our very latest at Substack, Victory at Basra: 'By the beginning of 2008, President Bush’s ‘surge’ in Iraq was yielding tangible results. Thanks largely to the influx of American troops; Al Qaida was on the run in Diyala, Salahadin, and Babil provinces north of Baghdad. The Sunni population, tired of being the target of Al Qaida attacks, fielded thousands of militia who fought and expelled the terrorists from the western province of Anbar. During the course of the year, the Iraqi Army expanded from 10 to 13 divisions and engaged Al Qaida and other insurgent groups in countless battles. American and Iraqi troops were systematically clearing Baghdad, bringing a sharp reduction in terrorist violence there.'

We admit to being intrigued by the left's obsession with QAnon. We first heard of Q on Gab back in 2017, we're guessing. We never took it too seriously. We're taking it seriously now and picking up some interesting chatter. To compare QAnon to mainstream media like CNN is unfair. One is a nest of crazed conspiracy theorists, the other is Q. Look to this space for updates.
