Just spoke with old friend, very senior retired USN skipper. Says his contacts, many of whom were his "boys," are concerned with how stupid the MSM and Americans are and at how the Internet has fueled rampant ignorance.
As I was calling him, he was calling me to call my military and IC friends to have a laugh and share some scotch to ease our aching heads.
The official word on what happened.
They were filming a new KY Jelly commercial and the contrail represented the big O.
Even I have posted more informative thread titles (and that is not saying much, believe me!)
WOW

Take a little walk to the edge of town
Go across the tracks where the viaduct looms,
like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires,
in the humming wires
Hey man, you know
you’re never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge,
past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes
a tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with
a red right hand
He’ll wrap you in his arms,
tell you that you’ve been a good boy
He’ll rekindle all the dreams
it took you a lifetime to destroy
He’ll reach deep into the hole,
heal your shrinking soul
But there won’t be a single thing
That you can do.
He’s a god, he’s a man,
he’s a ghost, he’s a guru
They’re whispering his name
through this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat
is a red right hand
You ain’t got no money?
He’ll get you some
You ain’t got no car?
He’ll get you one
You ain’t have no self-respect,
you feel like an insect
Well don’t you worry buddy,
cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
and the Bowery and the slums
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his
red right hand
You’ll see him in your nightmares,
you’ll see him in your dreams
He’ll appear out of nowhere but
he ain’t what he seems
You’ll see him in your head,
on the TV screen
And hey buddy, I’m warning
you to turn it off
He’s a ghost, he’s a god,
he’s a man, he’s a guru
You’re one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
his red right hand
Quit bending your elbow. It’s the scotch.
Well one thing is for sure, we are not mind-readers.
Another way to read that is “continue to kick next NYT every day”. Anyway kudos to anyone who figures out what it is.
You are correct sir. I have no clue as to what this thread is all about. Could you at least tell us the brand of scotch you were drinking.
Ooh, ooh, does that mean that I get a free pass to insult other FReepers?
Cool...
You’re an original.
I think you can do what you like....
Does anyone else like cheese?
I've been to France. The cheese there is most excellent.
I’m guessin’ he ain’t “...never coming back” either.

I’d like to put my Boehner in Bachmamn’s hands.”
Considering his most recent high brow post, I sure hope he is male...real class cannot be taught ya know ;}
Sober up, lay off the Scotch and take another look.
He’s an idiot.
Love ya!
>>>>Since there’s a 300+ thread for ignorance and tin-foil speculation, can we have this one for logic and reason?
No. Common Sense is an oxymoron.
Everything is potential disinformation.
Blame the internet.
Blame internet.
INTERNET BAD BAD........
Repeat as necessary.
I like cheese. I like to cut it. My wife doesn’t like it when I do that.
How right he is—and that’s putting it mildly.
What’s about as alarming is how many FREEPERS . . .
think like the MSM about some very critical facts . . . e.g. re these blokes:

. . . our globalist puppet masters.
