Stroock is for the Birds

Yesterday I took Youngest Daughter down to the beach to feed the last of our bread to the seagulls. Some woman walked up to her, not me mind you, and told her she couldn't feed the birds. This was a mistake. I told this woman to mind her own business. She told me to fuck off. I replied okay, Karen. I said I hoped this was a good use of her time. She said it was. I said, have a nice day at the beach, ma'am. The seagulls were fed. 'Daddy, do you want to tell mommy or should I?' asked youngest daughter. I didn't raise my voice and avoided profanity so as not to draw Mrs. Stroocks ire. Actually, it's a good thing Mrs. S. wasn't there herself. 

The Stroocks have returned from the beach. 

Speaking of interrupting people minding their own business: 'Dozens of ultra-Orthodox extremists disrupted three bar and bat mitzvah ceremonies at the egalitarian plaza of the Western Wall on Thursday morning, shouting over the services, calling the worshipers “Nazis,” “Christians” and “animals,” blowing whistles and ripping up prayer books, according to eyewitnesses.'  For you gentiles out there, that's like interrupting a confirmation or first-communion. Someone needs an ass-kicking. There's a reason why Haredi Jews are often the villains in Stroock stories. 

Hot Air asks if we're ready for Hillary!. We're not going to go on about Hillary!. We've made our point about... that woman dozens of times here. But we'd like reader(s) to consider this. Thirty years ago last month we graduated high school. One of the highlights of the summer for us was an exciting election with a new candidate, a new Democrat and a new generation. Hillary! was part of that. You know, we even thought she was kind of cute. Go back and look at the pics. Anyway, thirty fucking years later here we are talking about...that woman. That's like people talking about Adlai Stevenson in 1992. Say what you want about W., but he retired to Texas, took up painting, wrote his memoirs, and does veteran charity work. We rarely hear from the man. As the late Don Imus used to say about Bill and Hillary!, they're never going away.

Die, Boomers. Die. Which reader(s) know is simply German for the Boomer. The.*

We continue our investigation into the fall of Soviet Union. The August coup was carried out by scared and indecisive party apparatchiks who had no idea how to conduct a coup. Sort of like the plant manager guys in Chernobyl. Huh.  

We have a new month...what the hell did we say we wanted to do? Oh yeah, get The New American Order completed and send The Great Salvation of 1976 to the editor. We'll continue the slow slog through World War 1990: The Final Storm. Oh! And publish the Weser. We're waiting for our cover designer....grumble... Just heard back, will have it today.
