Monday School Day

First day of School! The first day of real school in about 18 months. That is, a 6 hour day, five days a week. Only in the last few days has it occurred to this blog that we're going to have to redo our schedule. We might experiment with posting here at night. We shall see. 

Our district's school year was put off another week by Ida. Bitch. For foreign readers, in many parts of the country school starts in early September. In the South and Midwest school starts mid-August. We have no idea about the West, Mountain West, and West Coast. 

We didn't watch a single snap of sports ball yesterday and we didn't miss it. We don't need to turn on the TV and be told out flaws by millionaire athletes who allegedly attended college but dance like morons for simply doing their job, and can barely say they're own names during the Sunday Night Football intro. Let's check rap sheets before we lecture, shall we? 

What will did watch: Star Trek Voyager, Season-2. This season was decently written and kept surprising us. The season ended with a cliffhanger that led into season-3. Overall we'd give Voyager Season-2 a B+. Also we finally figured out why we've  seen so few of these episodes. Season-2 aired during the 95-96 TV season. Back then we attended a non-Jesuit university in Washington DC and took a lot of night classes.  These were War and Diplomacy: Napoleon to Bismarck, War and Diplomacy: Bismarck to Hitler,* and Roman History. We never caught Voyager in syndication. Was Voyager even rerun?

It is said W compared Islamic terror with domestic terrorists. The right assumes he meant the Q Annon shaman guy. W could just as well have been talking about BLM/Antifa. But we all jumped to conclusions and rightfully so. If W left Patriotic Americans with the impression that he was talking about them, that's his fault. 

Long time reader(s) know this blog has vociferously defended W. His record is this: 53 straight months of economic growth, handling 9/11, liberating Afghanistan, winning the Iraq campaign, handling the financial crises. We're not sure what we think of W or his people anymore. Did they make mistakes? Of course. 

But we always thought the Democrat-Media complex was treating him unfairly. We still think that. The media are a lot of communist perverts, and if we saw a CNN reporter drowning, we would be hard pressed to give him a hand. Good people everywhere think the opposite of whatever a BBC producer thinks. Lurn to coad, anal reprobates.

The mere fact that the likes of CNN and the NYTs hate W should give one great pause before turning on the man. If they ever start praising him, that should give one even greater pause. 

Below, your Monday (not) Metal, dedicated to the days, weeks and months after 9/11:

*Holy crap, the prof is not only still alive but still teaching. We still have the books he assigned. He taught us everything we know about the Congress of Vienna, Metternich, Castlereigh, Cavour, Bismarck, etc etc. Can you see 

can you see this 

Look Who Isn't Hitler Anymore

You knew this would happen, right? Liberals pining for the quiet gentlemen George W. Bush. The indefatigable Kyle Smith quotes:

Then, last weekend on “Saturday Night Live,” host Aziz Ansari praised Dubya in his monologue, noting that “George W Bush made a speech after 9/11, and it really helped. Things changed . . . He said Islam is peace.” Bush’s speech was met with overwhelming, bipartisan approval, Ansari noted: “It was about basic human decency and remembering why the country was founded in the first place.” Then the comic caught himself thinking, “What the hell has happened? I’m sitting here wistfully watching old George W. Bush speeches?’ Just sitting there like, ‘What a leader he was! . . . He guided us with his eloquence!’ ”

Of course Aziz Asnari is a misogynist  who brags about schtooping white girls.

The left loves no Republican like it loves the Republican of  the past.

I have noted for years that one day progressives will tell their grand kids they voted for W. He was a good president, and only a partisan incapable of understanding the other side thinks different. The case being:

-W rallied the nation
-W kept us safe after 9/11
-W liberated Afghanistan
-W is the victor of Iraq
-W prevented complete economic collapse via TARP.

There are a lot of small things I like about him, stem cells, AIDS drugs for Africa, the nuclear deal with India, but the above mentioned are the big things.

We've noted a lot of the bad things W did. Steel tariffs, campaign finance deform, NCLB, deficits, a lack of the big vision thing. I'll ad to that refusing to fight the media and the left.

Faults aside W was a good president. Heck, he was near great. One day he'll have a carrier named after him, just like his dad does now, another good president, by the way

W. was an inherently decent person, and the left made him out to be Chimpy McHitler. Sounds familiar?

Oh by the way, during the 2000 primaries, I voted for my man John Wayne McCain.
