Yesterday was Ulysses S. Grant's birthday. Longtime reader(s) of this blog know what a bluebelly the author is. Grant was a stone cold top five all time American general, who soundly whipped Bobby Lee in Virginia and won the war. We've seen attempts to rehabilitate Grant's presidency. We don't have a strong opinion on that effort and are content to think of Grant as a bad president. This is pretty cool:
Moving on to the Thursday Downer: 'Antidepressants are the mainstay for treating depression, but their use is clouded by questions about lasting efficacy. A new study now suggests antidepressants may not improve people's quality of life in the long run, compared to depressed people who don't take this type of medication.' Yes. Oh my, yes. They want you to take those things forever, when maybe one needs only to take them for a year to smooth things out, get out of the habit of being depressed. Antidepressants work, there's no doubt about that. But after a while they lose efficacy. We found that out the hard way.
Monday Metal (Supplemental): We've paid scant attention to anything Def Leppard put out after Retroactive in 1993. We don't even own their last two or three albums. Out of curiosity, we've been listening to 1999's Euphoria, which we haven't heard in at least a decade - on CD. We'll report on Euphoria next week. Sneak peek, we're pleasantly surprised.
It's Holocaust Memorial Day. We don't care. We'd much rather talk about Arial Sharon frying the Egyptian's kabob and force feeding it to them while his men swim in the Suez Canal. Fuck victimhood. Here's a very idiotic op-ed from the Times of Israel's David Horowitz likening the war in Ukraine to the Holocaust. We're still doing the 'never again' schtick? We don't recall Yugoslavia? Rwanda? Etc. Maybe we just need a war with Russia. I dunno.
Okay, fine. Here's the Israeli Air Force over Auschwitz:
And here's Rabbi Captain David Eichorn, USA, at Dachau:
