Engorgeous George

Too bad our Vets don't have a political party of their own since neither of the two main parties seems to respect them or their service, not in practice anyhow. Both major parties like to give the Vets lip service of course, but not the kind that results in a satisfying release, the kind that is insulting of one's intelligence.

I do note that the legal limit for blood alcohol a dozen years earlier would have allowed him to be driving, at least in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. Frankly i think in most states the limit was .15 until MADD got some power and changed the laws.

Well they were plea bargained to a lesser charge. The iumplication of your post is that the cahrges were unwaranted when in fact they were and Walz gratefully accepted what, at the time, was a fairly standard plea bargain. I say at the time as most jurisdictions would not offer that plea bargain today.

He is thinking back to the time he wrong holed her in the Mankato TGIF restroom while a Vikings preseason game was on in the bar, an understandably fond memory.

Nope, inefficient and stupid. A poor use and distribution of resources. In those exceedingly rare instances where a user of a boys restroom in elementary school might have need of a tampoon they should go to the school nurse who should stock them. Placing tampoon vending devices in every restroom is inerfficient and just not needed.

24 year, part time commitment to potential military service.

If only Islam could be replaced by Scientology.

I prefer cheese sculptures.

M O U S EEEEE

Tim would try to spin this that Trump is a generous and giving lover if he was of a mind to defend Trump. Me, I laugh everytime I see the move. If there was a dance off Kamala would kick his butt. Maybe she should serve him then it would be on.

Keep working for the subject change.

So, going for a change of subject. That is probably your best strategy, if folks bite on the bait and let you get away with it.

Last one i attended was the Minnesota State Fair maybe 40 yeasr ago. I went because I wanted to attend a Peter Paul & Mary concert with Pete Seeger. Show was cancelled due to electrical problems, no amplification. Regardless first Mary, and then pete came out to sing one song with no speakers. They sang to 10,000 folks. I was able to hear them pretty good. I remember enjoying the side show barkers on the way in and out. I saw Angie Dickinson walking around. She looked good for a woman her age.

So like Trump, if he ever stops rocking the cotton candy swirl and just trims it close?

Both also good comparables.

Lots of folks don't appreciate the dangers encountered in the war between New Ulm and Bemidgi.

Facially he, Walz, sort of reminds me of W.C. Fields.

I too find him folksy, not Will Rogers folksy or Garrison Keillor folksy, but sort of down home full of blarney at the VFW after a few too many folksy. You know, typical rural midwesterner, like me.

Don't know how you missed it. It is a Strike post only two pages ago. Given your activity in this thread would have thought you must have seen it. Regardless ...

He served during 24 years. There was no need to leave his limited national guard service to run for congress as there are laws and practices protecting and holding jobs, including congress, while service is imposed. His story is a bit of political puffery. Not the worst ever seen but it does not hold water, particularly his recorded statement about carrying a weapon in war. I assure you, having been to New Ulm, there was no war zone there in the last 100 years or so. I wonder if one could sell shirtswith his face and the phrase, survived the Battle of New Ulm.

In my experience those who served are generally absolutely precise about their servicve records and they are sensitive when others puff their records or lie about them, especially about service in war or combat. I think the recording of Walz saying he carried a weapon in war will haunt him. Maybe not.

I have always found her physically attractive. Nice smile.

Somewhere, someone has a running list of names of those children assualted and those women raped and killed by illegals during the last 3 & 1/2 years. I wonder at the total numbers.

I am uncertain of the rules for the national guard, but don't they serve two weeks a year and then one weekend a month for the remaining 11 months of ther year? If so and one was to take his 25 years as fact, which may be a bit exaggerated from what I have read, he served 25 years times 2 weeks for 50 weeks, plus 11 weekends a year or 22 days a year for 25 years or 550 days so around 2 and 1/2 yerars of actual service which was all training for service when needed and called and when needed and called he opted out. Now I understand opting out was his absolute right. That said to tout his 2 & 1/2 years of training for service he opted out of so that he could go to school on the government's dime, well to me that is not serving 25 years in the army, that is taking advantage of the G.I. bill, which we are all free to do but doesn't make someone some sort of military hero. Were I he I would note that national guard service is a wonderful mechanism to fund an education, but I would not be saying I carried a weapon of war in war. His puffery about his service does not violate the letter of the Stolen Valor Act of 2013 as he did not claimed he won a qualifying medal, but it certainly violates the spirit of the act. Frankly as folks start to appreciate what he did he will be disgraced, and rightfully so.
