O.K., maybe I chickened out. Dunno if anyone there does anything beyond click publish. (One of my choices was censored once, but that was when we had to type the fucking thing on Notepad & e-mail it to the editrix, so she couldn't avoid at least seeing some of it. Now that they let us directly at their website, they may not pay as much attention. In which case they'll be sorry they were so cheap.) One of these days we'll be truly free & we'll give it a shot.

This is all the more so because many of the military mistakes in Afghanistan have directly echoed those of the Vietnam War, from which American generals failed to learn.</blockquote>

Fuck Afghanistan, let's discuss how I'm being ripped off here. Tain't low pay, it's NO PAY!! FUCK YOU, parasites!!

Another treatise on Republicans trolling in an attempt to <a href="https://dsadevil.blogspot.com/2021/08/for-gop-its-trolling-all-way-down.html">reduce all discourse to bothsider bee ess</a>, & the media swallows it. This one from The Debate Link. 

Back to blogging: There's not much left, & most of what remains sucks, like everything else. 

Bonus lighter reading: Yellow Dog Granny has <a href="https://yellowdoggrannie.blogspot.com/2021/08/just-about-i-think-its-going-to-be-ok.html">a whole mess o' memes & stuff</a>, no Afghanistan. Mostly the plague.
