Will's Good Idea for the Week of 1/26/25

Happy Australia Day to his Majesty's subjects in the land of Oz. Would it be inappropriate for us to use this day to plug World War 1990: ANZACs? It would? Oh well. ANZACs is a stand-alone, more or less, World War 1990 novel, and if people Down Under want to start the World War 1990 series, ANZACs is a good place to do it. 

Mrs. Stroock's Eagles play the Washington Foreskins today for the NFC title. We've no feel for the game. Expect a close match and lots of shouting and cursing in Casa de Stroock. Mrs. Stroock is fully converged wearing her Eagles hoodie, T-shirt and socks. [You're not wearing an Eagles T-shirt? After all, you own one-Ed]. No, we like the Giants [Sure your do-Ed]. 

We'd be shocked, stunned even if the Chiefs don't defeat the Bills tonight. The Chiefs have certain, uh, advantages. 

So today Elon musk told Germany's AfD party, 'It's okay to be proud to be German.' Did you see that? It's Okay? First Elon does the Nazi salute, then he mentions the White supremacist 'Okay' secret symbol. Very clever, Elon. Very clever. Wonder what the imams would say about him. You a Jew? 

Breitbart reports: 'President Donald Trump suggested Saturday that he would like to “clean out” Gaza after the devastation of the war started by Hamas on October 7, 2023, sending residents to Egypt and Jordan for humanitarian reasons.' Where's the clap emoji? Oh, there it is.👏👏👏. Okay, seriously, who wouldn't want to leave Gaza? If Gaza is an 'open air prison' as the left says, then they should support the transfer of Gazans elsewhere 100 percent. 

We found a treasure trove of documentaries about the Troubles in Ireland on YouTube; one on virtually every subject, it seems. Research intensified. Ideas cultivated. It seems we've underestimated the Irish ability to do internecine ethno/religious conflict. 

Which brings us to Will's Good Idea for the Week of 1/26/25. World War 1990: Thatcher's War, will see a major conflagration in Derry, with sectarian violence, the RUC and eventually the army. The IRA will blow up an armored car, or some such, and then bring down a helicopter. This really get the Brits thinking, 'The only way we can stop this is by wiping out the IRA safe haven...in the south.' Maggie's already really mad, afterall.
