The Drug Massacres Continue

A friend is commiserating with me as I bitch about conditions in Mexico, a place I once loved. I doubt I'll ever again  feel comfortable in the camper pulled into a pretty beach cove on Carmen Island or a wide spot in the road a hundred miles south of Ensenada.

The dopers and suppliers of dopers have turned us all into collateral damagees. Perhaps it's time to listen again to our other  friend, Travis McGee


"The only possible solution to this deadly trade is to ignore it. Legalize it along with marijuana. Then the infrastructure will sag and collapse. It will no longer be fashionable. Street dealers will no longer hustle new customers on high school sidewalks. And men won't die in the squalid massacres...

Dynamic cultural illiteracy

Because I watch little electrical teevee I'm in debt  to my friend Alan of  one of the New England commissariats for word that Lt. John W. Finn, USN, (ret.)  died yesterday. On Dec. 7, 1941, he left his wife's bed in Kanoehe to rush to the sound of guns at  the  Naval Air station.

Then-CPO Finn picked up a machine gun (presumably a Browning .30), carried it to an exposed spot on the air strip, and blazed away at Jap raiders. He was wounded several times over the course of a long battle, He survived hospitalization, and, on Sept. 15, 1942, Admiral Chester Nimitz pinned the Medal of Honor on him.

Last night, on ABC teevee, John tells me,   George Stephanopolis (I'm too intellectual to be in politics.) reported that he was cited   for "fighting back at the Kamikazes attacking Pearl Harbor."

EDIT:  Adding that Lt. Finn was the last surviving MOH winner from Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

See beautiful Indonesia

I bet the that jobs confiscating the pants require high seniority and a good deal of pull with Islamic politicians.

Doesn't that sort of thing make you wonder how the Hell there ever got to be so many Muslims in the first place?
