Time to stop pretending and looking the other way, and to treat the Saudis as the enemies—at bottom–that the evidence indicates they really are.

I would like to point out that my 19-year-old son, by his own volition, got up early enough on Saturday morning to put the flag up before I woke. And, like a good Boy Scout who is up on his flag, lore, he had the porch light on so the flag was illuminated pre-dawn. Good for him.

Not the war itself, just the stories about it.

“The Bomb Didn’t Beat Japan … Stalin Did: Have 70 years of nuclear policy been based on a lie?”

It’s difficult to summarize or even excerpt sensibly. Take a look if you’re curious.

And Navy divers have already interred his ashes in barbette 4.

Lauren Bruner of La Mirada CA will be the last survivor of the Arizona to be interred with his shipmates. There are three others but when they pass.they want to be buried with family.

So there you go, NEO. Now you you have a finer sense on how near we are to zero.

Ah well. The semester is over and I’m feeling a little silly.

sdferr: Dunno. It is a current strand of revisionist history.
