Caroline, The Duke, Congressman West, & Latin

Caroline Hanson, my middle granddaughter, my “little babe”, the only person in the world who could get me to like purple walls and lavender sheets, had her hair cut for “Locks for Love” on December 22 in Allen, Texas. I know because I cut it. She had it cut 2 years ago after Grammy lost her hair to the chemo that was used to slug it out with her uterine papillary serous carcinoma. December 22 would have been Grammy’s birthday.

When I cut the 2 nine inch pony tails I held them up like John Wayne held up Scar’s scalp in “The Searchers”.

Grammy told her that whenever the chemo made her feel bad she would think about young children getting the same medicine. That was when St. Jude Children’s Hospital became her favorite charity. Caroline asked her Mom if instead of presents at her birthday party she could ask for donations to St. Jude.

She raised $775 on her birthday. So far she has raised $5,050.

The Lovejoy School, where she is a 5th grader, gave her its “Caring Hearts” award.

In “The Searchers” Ethan Edwards, AKA The Duke, shoots out a dead Comanche’s eyes. When asked why the answer is given by Old Mose. “Without eyes he can’t enter the spirit world. Without eyes he has to wonder for all eternity.”

Comes now 3 Marines accused of the heinous crime of peeing on some dead Taliban WOGS in Kafiristan

The media will side step this story because Obama is still their boy – Remember Abu Ghraib? Wasn’t the lingerie parlor, sic torture room, one of Cheney’s “undisclosed hidden locations”? Wasn’t that the last piece of evidence needed to prove that Bush was Hitler? - and, while it may take a bit longer for that Old Black Magic to get that tumescent tingle running up the inside of their thighs, they never forget their first love.

Has Cindy Sheehan chimed in yet?

Has Senator Little Dick Durbin called them Nazis yet?

The question is not why the Marines did it. Men who have “seen the elephant” sometimes do strange things. From Homer on we have chronicled them. I say “men” because the angle of the urine flow suggests the presence of a prostate gland. It would also suggest that all the pissers have had a “short arm” inspection. Sorry, chicks. The question is why didn’t they go further? Shove a pork sausage up their asses. Give them a bacon fat bath. Sew pigs’ ears on them. Gorilla Glue boars’ teeth on to their mouths. Staple a pig tail to their peckers. Ship over some Arkansas razorback skins and wrap them in them. Drag them around the town square at Friday prayers. Plaster Mohammed cartoons all over the place. Throw the singer off the minaret and play Hava Nagilah nonstop. Anything to get their attention. Then maybe you can reason with them

Neither Norwegians nor Anabaptists led a Kamikaze attack on 9/11/01. Weren’t 4 Americans killed, disemboweled, hanged, and burned in Iraq by Islamic thugs yelling “Allah Akbar”? Maybe if we cut the bollocks off some of those feral martyrs and feed them to the goats they’ll think that maybe Allah ain’t so Akbar.

Listening to the pre-battle speech of Henry the Fifth still makes the hair on the back of one’s neck stand up. Before he got to Agincourt he was at Harfleur. Henry told the French what would happen to their wives, daughters, and children if they did not surrender.

22 centuries ago a young Roman was enslaved by Sicilian pirates. He told them if they let him go he would spare them. They didn’t. He escaped. Julius Caesar came back, and true to his word, crucified them all.

The Iliad is not a love story. The Odyssey is.

“Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war” is not the start of a musical comedy.

Congressman West, nee Colonel West, my Congressman, said, “As for everyone else, unless you’ve been shot at by the Taliban shut your mouth. War is Hell.”

“FOR EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON”
