Other than a brief mention of the Polymarket Iran betting scam on when the war would commence (click here) I have not said anything about this war, excursion, conflict, dispute or what ever it is that you want to call it.

Reason I have remained somewhat quiet is that my Air Force Grandson Shawn is deployed over there in Jordan. As if that wasn’t enough of a reason to be concerned, Shawn has just been informed that he will soon be moving closer to the action. In my opinion, anywhere over there is too close.

When it comes to any of these “events,” George Carlin still has the best quote where he claimed that “Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.” (I don’t think he actually said “screwing.” However, since it is Sunday and I gave up cussing for Lent let’s stay with screwing!)

George also had this spot on observation:

George’s was talking major conflicts. However, if you google “how many conflicts has the US been involved in” you get this:

As for this particular conflict:

I bought gas that day and grabbed this photo.

Speaking of gambling, I am thinking about starting a Buzzy pool on betting how high gas prices will go. Those darn Polymarket people have beat me to it!

Country Joe, who passed a couple weeks ago at the age of 84, obviously did not give up cussing for Lent, at least in this classic video he did not. Looking back I guess you can say that he was somewhat prophetic when he sang “Whoopee, we’re all gonna die.”

Tune in tomorrow when the Buzzy Podcast takes a break and features Chief Larry and his excellent interview with Dictator Cullison. It is currently on YouTube if want to catch it now (click here.)
