@STLBluesViews What was so great about Kelly? Honestly? Hesva fantastic dude and was committed to the team, but one of the most boring announcers in the game. Kerbs has always been far more exciting. I couldn't be happier they made this decision.
I was 8 years old when the US invaded Iraq for the first time. I have vague memories of the celebration afterwards. War hawks were bragging about the overwhelming success and how easy the whole thing was. We went on to fighting in Iraq for most of the next 30 years taking thousands of casualties and costing us trillions of dollars.
I remember vividly the “mission accomplished” celebration two months into the 20 year catastrophe that was George W Bush’s invasion of Iraq. What followed was a wide consensus that it was one of, if not, the worst foreign policy blunders in modern American history.
I remember Hillary Clinton boasting that “we came, we saw, he’s dead” immediately after overthrowing Muammar Gaddafi. A few years later when she was running for President, she wouldn’t dare bring it up because it was such an obvious, colossal failure.
They told us that the Afghan army would hold the nation together. They told us that sanctions alone would defeat the Russians.
They always lie but especially at the beginning of a war.
I’ve seen a lot of people celebrating the Israel/Iran war for the last 48 hours. Talking about how it’s going exactly according to plan, and how easy it will be to overthrow the Iranian regime and improve life for Iranians as well as stability in the region. Maybe they are finally right this time, and for the first time. But, they are definitely celebrating way, way too prematurely, and I see no indication that it won’t be a catastrophe just like the rest.
@jprutherford Ah. I guess that solves one issue, but I feel like RD depth is an issue that has been pretty neglected. I know left handers can play the right side, but it's not preferable. Do you see them doing anything over there?
@billburr@LeePearsonDrums There's something so magical about talented people. It's so easy to know what a walk off home run is and it's impact, but creativity and talent come in so many shapes and sizes and it's the thing that stops me in my tracks for a minute. Thanks for sharing! So damned good!
Hey @SpiritAirlines . Maybe you could squeeze a few more rows in and we could all sit criss cross apple sauce. Or maybe just book people to sit on other people's shoulders. Consider this my resume.
@jprutherford I'm a difficult time for the note, you are a guiding light, my friend. With hatred for some guys and "let's tank" from others, I know there are proud guys in that locker room and you always being that to the fans. Thank you, brother. I bleed blue just like you!
@davidheroff@jprutherford@RussoHockey Maybe shuffle board or backgammon is more your speed. All goalies are headcases. Win or lose, this team has no fire and I absolutely love seeing him come unglued. EXACTLY what this team needs. I think you're the reason they took fighting out of the sport. #oldschoolhockey
