Picking the womenfolk up at the airport tomorrow.
Just a great run at the gym yesterday. We kept the treadmill on 3.7 and cruised. Why not? The real goal of those hour long runs is time, not speed, not even distance. We are of course, sore. Weird though yesterday, as it seems it was the women's 50+ hour or something. [Don't even say it-Ed]. We won't. Ouch! [Knobhead-ed].
Our latest bit of Russian Collusion: 'A snapshot of America today. It was alleged last weekend that at a baseball game between the hometown Colorado Rockies and the visiting Miami Marlins, a fan shouted racial slurs at an African American player. Rockies management quickly tweeted their ‘disgust’. Upon reviewing the footage though, it’s clear that the Rockies fan was shouting ‘Dinger!’, the name of the Rockies mascot, dinger being a colloquialism for a home run. The accused wanted to get a picture of Dinger with his grandchildren. The grandfatherly fan remains anonymous as the mere accusation of racism is enough to ruin his life...'

Afghanistan is collapsing. We are intrigued by these three infantry battalions arriving in Kabul to secure the embassy and airport. A big battle like that could make a hell of a short story. One of our World War 1990 ideas is Tet in Kabul, from the Soviet Pov. Anyway, The NY Post quotes an expert saying that the Taliban will be on the outskirts of Kabul within 30 days. Fools. They'll have the city way before that. This blog isn't calling for us to stay, but since they're out in the open, why not bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb the Taliban on the way out? Jesus, it's all gonna be over by September 11th, isn't it?
By now you've all seen the latest Hunter Biden expose. For the record, the Russians have never stolen one of our laptops. We used to be thankful that we didn't end up like Hunter, but now we wonder if we have what it takes*. An 18 day bender. JFC. When Joe says Hunter is the smartest man he knows, we believe him. What are they gonna do when he drops dead from a crack overdose? No, Viagra fueled sex binge. [Prediction?-Ed]. Prediction.
So Air Force ends with a titanic and entirely fictitious aerial assault on a Japanese fleet. The crew of the Mary Ann spot the fleet when flying to Australia and send out the word. There follows a well executed scene in which the Army Air Corps, Marine aviation and Navy get orders to scramble everything they have.** After that viewers are treated to a spectacle as dozens of American aircraft descend on the Japanese fleet. Everything that could be accomplished with models has been accomplished here and the result is a visual spectacle of destruction. It's almost as if Howard Hawks let a bunch of ten year old boys write and shoot the scene. We can see the writer's room now, 'Let's just blow the fuck out of everything.' It's glorious.
