Special Green Eagle Hurricane Report

Green Eagle has spent most of the morning cooking, and watching the hurricane coverage from Corpus Christi on the TV.

In the now well established American tradition of caring about nothing but yourself, Green Eagle is pleased to report that no hurricane damage is expected at Corpus Christi College, where he was a graduate student long ago.
Although, in all fairness, Green Eagle must admit that no category III hurricane is known to have hit Cambridge at least since the founding of Corpus Christi College, in 1352.

I don't know where all of the pictures of the horrible weather now on TV are coming from.  Must be from the bad side of town.

Thanks for lightening the mood!!! What's for dinner? I hope it's something manly, so the Anonymouses don't freak out at you.

On the other hand Corpus Christi owes its existence to the Black Death, instead of which I'd much rather have a hurricane.
Or a cyclone, as we call them here.

Hoping the good people of Texas pull through this okay but that every white nationalist household and trailer gets a mild draft.

Peace.

Well, you are absolutely right about that. Corpus was founded to produce priests to pray that the black death never came again. Too bad nobody ever thought of having some priests to pray that Hitler didn't come back again.

"some priests to pray that Hitler didn't come back again".

Prayer doesn't work, but education does, better than anything, so you were on the right track, GE.

Green Eagle,

I'm sorry your favorite team was eliminated by CSKA Moscow (once known as the Red Army's team) in the Champions League. It's unfair that people keep smearing you as a supporter of communist dictatorships.

Huh? I've heard Cambridge called a lot of things, but never a Communist dictatorship.

I think he's referring to what you've said about Stalin.

Considering who CSKA knocked out of the Champions League, he's also being nasty.

What, I said that Stalin led the country that did by far the most to win World War II? Do you or he have a single criticism of that remark? Because it is obviously true. Now, as for him being nasty, maybe, just not particularly successfully. If he wants to disagree with what I said about Stalin, let him do it in a comment on the post where I said it. I'm not interested in being dragged in to endless repetitions of ignorant claims about World War II.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
