Will's Bad Idea for Tuesday, 12/10/24

We awake groggy once again.

After we completed dance-taxi duty, we experimented with having a drink last night. We enjoyed that Amstel Lite, we did. 

We also enjoyed the Dallas Cowboys losing in humiliating fashion last night. We've never seen a team block a punt, only to miss-handle the ball and give it back to the punting team. Weird. Eat it, Cowboys. 

More blessed rain today. 

Albert Brag (Fatty-Dunkin Donuts) and Dafna Yoran (bad for Jews)  failed to Lynch Daniel Penny, we see. Bernie Goetz smiles. 

Showing the madness of Israeli society and the leftwing establishment which seeks to tear it apart, Netanyahu is testifying in his corruption trial today. JNS reports, 'Netanyahu is facing bribery and breach-of-trust charges in three cases, labeled 1000, 2000 and 4000. The latter is the most serious, and the only one featuring bribery charges.' For the love of Charleton Heston, who cares? No matter that there's a multifront war, the left's own war must go on, and on and on. 

Powerline has an excellent post on the Israeli Establishment's war on Bibi, with a nice little surprise at the end. Bibi to attend Trump's inauguration? 

Back to business. While the Israeli left tries to destroy Netanyahu, the IDF is settling accounts with Syria. It seems the IDF has all but destroyed the Syrian air force and navy. The IAF has also hit several Syrian military bases that are, shall we say, sketchy. So much for Assad's chemical weapons program. The IDF has occupied the old buffer along the Golan. Soon the Israeli account with the Assad Regime will be closed. 

That gives us an idea for the alternate history World War Two short story we're working on....

Speaking of ideas and World War Two, we come to Will's Bad Idea for 12/10/24. Our backlist has one World War Two novel, A March Through Hell.  After more than a decade in print AMTH can't even muster a hundred ratings. Won't some kind soul click the link and buy a copy? Oh look, A Line through the Desert. These are Will's great unread novels. 

See what we were doing there? We had planned a series of military historical novels which would all have through in the title. We were going to write several World War II novels. One about a soldier on Bataan. One about a Gato class submarine. One about a naval officer who was the XO of a destroyer at Leyte Gulf and later serves aboard another destroyer at Okinawa. One about a paratrooper in the Rock Force assault on Corregidor. Good ideas all. The problem was/is that they won't sell. Maybe they're Summer Sneak In fodder? Now there's a thought. Or is that another bad idea?
