Goat to Rat:  Aw, a good old lemonade stand.  I'll take a cup.  (He drinks.)  This tastes like water.  Rat:  The lemon and sugar are extra.  Rat turns to Pig:  I learned it from the airlines.

The Swift Vote Conspiracy 0

At the Tampa Bay Times, Daniel Ruth lays out the whole dastardly plot:

Months ago, Swith unleashed her malevolent powers when she encouraged her fans that it might be a nice thing if the went out and registered to vote. Oh the Blofeld terror of it all!

Worse yet, tens of thousands of Swifties actually–we here to clutch some pearls–actualy went out and registered to vote, lurching the cuontry to the precipice of anarchy.

The Story of G. I. Joe. We caught it on TCM.

The film follows Ernie Pyle, beloved World War II correspondent, as he accompanies an infantry detachment through the battle of Monte Cassino.

The focus of the film is not Pyle.

It’s the soldiers and what day-to-day life was like for them on the front lines. Per the trivia at imdb.com, Dwight Eisenhower considered it the best war movie he ever saw.

As I watched it, I could not help thinking of my father, who was in the Ardennes in WWII.

And I could not help thinking of those among us today who would undo what those soldiers accomplished.
