Weather: Memorial Day And All Associated Festivities Are Canceled

BAH - make plans and adjust accordingly 

Memorial Day = another excuse for the American Slave-worker Class to get shitfaced drunk in a vain attempt to numb the pain of their vapid existence.

hth.

Those that I fight I do not hate,

Those that I guard I do not love.

W. B. Yeats (1865–1939), Irish poet, playwright. An Irish Airman Forsees His Death.

" Now, I don't know exactly what Memorial Day is, being from abroad."

Gavin, just think Remembrance Day.

Jolly good show, Gavin. Delkus best watch his 6 ... telling us Americans here in America 'bout some rain bullshit on Memorial Day. Baby Jesus won't let it happen -- not on his watch.

The President just canceled Memorial Day due to bad timing, according to his press secretary just now.

The President said he just heard about the VA scandal on the news.

Well at least we have Saturday, in which we are going to have this exact meal again.

Season? To god-damned hell with seasons! We have no seasons. In fact, we don't need seasons!

A bitter Donkey offers us a little insight into his world. One suspects though, that, for him, this is pretty much a daily ritual.

Remember kids, avoid vapidity, stay in school!

@DonkeyHotay What's the over/under on the number of area lake drownings

@ThePosterFormerlyKnownasPaul

I thought we were all from broads.

Do you know what a soldier is, young man? He’s the chap who makes it possible for civilised folk to despise war. Allan Massie (b. 1938), British author. Colonel Fernie, in A Question of Loyalties, pt. 2, ch. 1 (1989).

When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,

And the women come out to cut up what remains,

Jest roll to your rifle an’ blow out your brains

An’ go to your Gawd like a soldier.

Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936), British author, poet. The Young British Soldier.

@holmantx Wrong.  The Bush wars created a huge demand for VA services.  Meanwhile, during the Obama administration, Republicans have fought hard to cut spending for the VA.  

@holmantx

I understand he's quite angry.

Probably going to throw off his golf game.

@angelampatterson Huh?

@Just-Sharon I was thinking brontosaurus. The one next to it looks like a Modigliani sex painting.

@ScottsMerkin 

Try doing your corn in the husk.  Soak the ears in water for about 15 minutes, then place on the grill and lower the lid.  Done in about 15 minutes.  Nice and juicy and sweet.

@ScottsMerkin

Looks awesome! Me too! Been aging a big CAB that's gonna' hit the Weber early Sunday a.m.!

Can. Not. Wait. for Sunday evening!

@Sotiredofitall

What's the over/under on the number of area lake drownings?

Depends on how many fully-clothed Latinos go swimming after demasiadas cervezas.

@Sotiredofitall ... a.k.a Natural Selection

@Myrna

Others will be blamed.

The Bush wars.

Did you come up with that lame excuse for bureaucratic incompetence, or was it planted in your head by the brilliant broad Nancy Pelosi?

Here's a clue, hon. If the VA is overwhelmed and systemically challenged to provide health care as is its mission, then SPEAK UP. Maybe ALERT someone.

Maybe that someone could be a guy who, with the stroke of a pen, allow those victims of incompetence to get medical care in the private sector, at government expense, like illegal aliens.

@Myrna.Minkoff-Katz @holmantx The scandalous behavior by the VA goes way back before either Bush was in the big chair.  The VA is the proverbial good intention paving the road to hell.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be able to avail myself of VA benefits, since ACA has made it impossible for me to afford any other health insurance.  I'm lucky though, in that I don't have any pressing medical concerns.  I'm a tier 6 enrollee, so I have 6-8 months between appointments.  The problem is, tier 1 and 2 enrollees also go months between appointments.  The problems with the VA are not rooted in too many veterans needing the service, they are the result of too many politicians, of both parties, making promises to too many special interest groups.

For instance, there have been, for my entire life, calls to reduce the military budget.  Altruistic bleeding hearts point out that you can build schools, housing, fund idiotic art programs that define shit on a stick as 'art', and scores of other 'things' that can be done with the money it takes to build one M1 tank.  (but 'Shit on a Stick' art displays cant fire a 155mm shell at targets out to 10km while moving at 45mph across open desert at night, either).  What you don't see is Altruistic bleeding hearts advocating that the money cut from defense budget get applied to the DVA budget.

@Myrna.Minkoff-Katz @holmantx If it was only that simple - Father was a World War II vet and he cursed the VA hospitals back in the 70s

@TheRuddSki

Someone will be held accountable.

Pretty much.

@Myrna.Minkoff-Katz @angelampatterson Im thinking she didnt want to cuss, so Ill translate kitty cat=pussy

@gavin.cleaver @Greg820 can we bring Facebook commmenting back for one day, just so we can remember how god awful they are.  On second thought, nevermind

@ThePosterFormerlyKnownasPaul We do them 2 ways, one is the way you describe, the other is my wife shucks em, rubs em down in butter and the sprinkles some herb and garlic on them.  She wraps em in foil and I grill! 

@DonkeyHotay

I take it you never read "Ask A Mexican".

OR go to a Dallas-area lakes, know any area paramedics, or read the newspapers.

@TheRuddSki <== never misses a chance to display his abject bigotry, racism and hate.

@RTGolden1 @Myrna.Minkoff-Katz @holmantx

AMEN -

Politicians live by the rule - don't need to fix the roof if it isn't raining

Recommend "Don't Tread on Me: A 400-Year History of America at War, from Indian Fighting to Terrorist Hunting"  

to see the cycle of military funding build-up and cut-back 

@ScottsMerkin @gavin.cleaver @Greg820

Release the Kraken!

@Greg820 @gavin.cleaver (edit)

Does anyone on Facebook have  sense  anymore?

@jdrbayne

They only need 10 minutes if they're uncircumcised.

@Just-Sharon @ScottsMerkin about 25-30 depending on how hot the coals are.  I usually turn them 2 or 3 times, and once the foil starts to slightly discolor, you know they are close to done
