Celebrity Athletes DO Care!
« on: September 26, 2017, 07:45:48 PM »
For example, Carmelo Anthony. He reportedly earns $24.6 million in salary, $8 million in endorsements, and has a net worth of $90 million. He recognizes that Puerto Rico needs help, so he dug deep ... and set up a gofundme page.

He put in $50,000 himself so I'm not going cast aspersions on him. That's not nothing, which is what most people have done.

In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.

One of my soldiers is from PR.  I messaged him on FB.  He has no power, batteries, or fuel.  His house is pretty well trashed, but he's got food and is volunteering on the clean-up and recovery efforts before he goes to fix/clean-up his home.   

Typical US Soldier.  And makes me damn proud.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
