Will's Good Idea for the Week of 11/20/23

Sports whip around: Despite trying to give the game away on the last drive, the Giants defeated the Redskins 31-19. The New York Jets' Zach Wilson is not an NFL caliber starting quarterback. He should try the CFL. Speaking of, our man on the ground in Canada informs us that the Montreal Alouettes won the Grey Cup last night, congratulations. Australia defeated India in the Cricket World Cup 241/4 (43.0) to 240 (50.0), whatever that means. Related, spotted in Chindia:

They are running between the wickets, we are told [You bloody knobhead-Ed]. 

Israel, the war in northern Gaza continues. The Israelis tricked us into thinking they were about to hit southern Gaza. You know what the imams say.  Stop Anti-Semitism reports that Hamas sympathizers are tearing down Israeli hostage posters in our own Great Barrington, HQ of the Stroock Northern Strategic Direction. We're not surprised. Stroock's Books still believes the Israelis will finish up in the north and call for a ceasefire during which time they'll redeploy to the south. 

Powerline asks, 'Can Israel win the Peace?' They echo our own thoughts exactly. There can be no peace with these people, only victory, with Israeli generals meeting Hamas reps in the rubble of their parliament dictating terms, 'I invite you now to sign at the area indicated.' Blow up every municipal building. Destroy every bank and burn the currency. Burn every school.  Imprison the administrators who oversaw Hamas' genocidal curriculum. And throw out the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Gaza. 

Will's Good Idea for the week of 11/20/23: a truncated week, as Thanksgiving is Thursday with travel on Wednesday. We'll be seeing Wolfmother on Friday night. Anyway, we'll be finishing the read through of World War 1990: The Final Storm. A few of you know how we feel about this book. You people know who you are. We'll be tooling around with a short story in War Night. We'll tidy up the Home Guard scenes in World War 1990: Norway. If we're starting a new project in January, now's the time to commit, as we'll need to spend December researching. That new project is World War 1990: Thatcher's War unless we think of something different in the next few days. 

Monday Metal. Via our FBF Rick McGinnis, photographer and Mark Steyn movie critic:

That's Steve 'Lipps' Kudlow, lead singer and guitarist of Canadian heavy metal band Anvil. 15 years ago came the second-best rock and roll documentary we've ever seen, Anvil: The Story of Anvil. Click on the link to see the trailer. 'Given your reputation you should be playing in front of a thousand people every night, and you are not.' Anvil is about rock, and friendship, maintaining that spark, just a little bit of that spark in middle age that made you pick up a heavy metal album for the first time. We saw Anvil open for AC/DC in 2009 at Giants Stadium. It's great to see Anvil made it and is still going. 'Keep on Rocking...'
