A decidedly beautiful place. One of my many projects in Germany was building a ski lodge for American forces at the base of the Hausberg ski area.

Nice.

It must've been surreal for those guys to end up there after slogging from Metz, France and then all the way through Deutschland. His division suffered a 77% casualty rate. CCB was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation for their work in Bastogne alongside the 101st Airborne. It's a good thing dad was in Luxembourg at the time in Division HQ with the rest of the division. Most of CCB died in Bastogne.

War was surreal hell for some, just plain hell for others.

Watching Lawrence O'Donnell tonight and he's reporting that an exit poll conducted by Wm. and Mary College/TargetSurvey of early voters in Florida shows that 28% of Republican voters have crossed over and voted for Clinton.
Only 6% of Democrats have voted for Trump.

When Trump said Hillary was a "Nasty Women" he hit the nail on thee head.

Wikileaks:


Someone else's tweet makes Hilary nasty?

That's quite a stretch.


Oh, wait..... That was Joad's post..... Nothing to take seriously.

And she's supported by a bunch of nasty women too.

Such as yourself.

Counting today you got six days to crow little man.

On the seventh you get your comeuppance.

I love the smell of hair on fire desperation in the morning. It smells like victory.

The only people with their hair on fire at the moment are the people who don't want Trump to win. It's undeniably true that that's a lot more likely than is was 5 days ago and becoming more likely every day, thanks to the Democratic Party manipulating the primary process in favor of the most deeply flawed of the available candidates. They were so committed to the symbolic significance of following the election of America's first black president with the election of America's first woman president that they put forward a candidate that even a toxic clown like Trump could beat.

A few weeks ago Hillary sent me a "Proud Democrat" bumper sticker. It went straight into the trash.
