Freddogg Off The Chain

We all encounter those POW license plates but don’t understand why we don’t initiate contact with the driver to thank him for serving his country and being a genuine war hero? Perhaps the driver is a teenager operating his grandfather’s car and playing rap music and parking in a handicapped space and nobody gives a “top of the morning to you” to some anonymous teenager because we hate them all with their baggy clothes, body piercing, planned dumb hair and slinky body posture.
John McCain is often described as a “genuine war hero” but to use a sports metaphor “isn’t that like making the guy who dropped the winning touchdown pass hero of the game after the opposing team locked him in their own locker room for five years?
The object of the mission is to drop bombs and get out of there. How about the guys who returned to base? What are their names? Aren’t they heroes too?
I watched in amazement in real time when McCain walked from the airplane to great his family after five years of being in a North Vietnamese hut. I was like “wow, who survives that?”
The North Koreans held 100 sailors for a year after hijacking the USS Pueblo in 1968 and beat their asses every day. That ship still sits as a North Korean monument of might over America in the harbor of Pyongyang and forget Space Cowboys-no Poontang for a year- I think the walking survivors of that ship are heroes and should be organized into a strike force to go get it back. “Go mash some mutton and bayonet dummies in the school yard. We are placing the Pueblo on an aquatic rollback and taking it to San Diego.”
And so John McCain who will construct a joke if you hand him the elements like North Koreans on a nuclear bomb recently responded “No, I don’t know how many houses I own” and was told the number is seven and he said “O.K. seven” and you just know owning all those properties that somewhere English as a second language landscapers are trimming his bushes.
Speaking of Obama he is the ultimate guy who doesn’t get it. First of all he can’t play basketball- anyone can shoot around. Back in my prime I’d take his boney ass to the rack at will because he just don’t got nothing for me. But I do respect the fact he can read waves and go left or right with the break. He would be the first body surfing President.
The Conventions are about to begin and to go with the sports comparison. Have millions of dollars ruined professional athletes? The answer is positively absolutely and now in politics we have millionaires vying for the power to protect us all.
We are all right fielders on the global stage.
