All the Koreans I knew basically had hollow legs. They could drink a Bowery bum under the table.

If world leaders had only really listened to what Hitler was saying in his speeches and his book - but nope.

She’s still alive? She was president in what, the 1970’s? This is akin to a comment by Jimmy Carter and equally evidence of senile dementia.

I watch some of their television ,closed captioned, and it’s pretty clear they have an appreciation for little liquor bars.

Wouldn’t make a statement about them not being able to drink.

Who should pay attention to today? Ex-President’s of Ireland? (Who knew Ireland had a president?)

Or NFL cry babies?

And why aren’t all of our favorite Hollyweird celebs taking a knee and refusing to act? Where have they all gone?

The world has gotten so complex. I need a beer.

They don’t seem to have much concept for how different our nation’s are in complexity.

As the big nation on the block, we run more interference for them than they’ll.ever grasp.
