Shore Monday

Good morning from the Jersey Shore. It's raining.

Tragedy struck yesterday as we actually bought a six pack of beer but didn't like our selection.

You know, driving down here we passed Maguire AFB. We'll be damned. There was a gigantic C-17 making its approach. You don't think...? We guess we could learn to like Afghan food. 

Look, folks, this blog understands your concern. A bit of Afghanistan is coming here. Remember, we are surrounded by Hindus. Yes, we hear a half dozen Indian languages. The women wear saris when going to Hindu temple. Diwali is as jammed packed with explosives as July 4th. At this point we're basically a British East India outpost on the Northwest Frontier. 

The kids in Chindia are American as any other. Our gym is packed with young Indian men lifting weights. Afterwards they go to the local deli for coffee and bagels. You don't get much more American than that. 

Oh, and Afghans are about as likely to become a reliable Democrat constituency as Cubans and South Vietnamese. 

The Times of Israel reports border clashes with palestinian rioters. This blog has a few thoughts on what the Israelis should do about it. We'd call it Operation Rachel Corrie. Simultaneously, Prime Minister Bennet met with Joe in Washington. Did Joe really fall asleep while the PM was talking? It sure looks like it. Go on, Dems. Prove it isn't true. 

An Ole Miss fan asked about the New York Giants. You see, Eli Manning, the most successful Manning* ever to play quarterback in the NFL, went to Ole Miss. We haven't been paying much attention to sportsball. I mean, damn, we don't even listen to sports talk radio anymore. But we feel the Giants should be in good shape this year. They better be. It's been a decade since Eli won their last Super Bowl. 

*Payton was .500 in the big game. Eli .1000.
