\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Toward the end of World War II the \u201cBig Three,\u201d Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin got together for a conference in the Black Sea resort of Yalta.\u00a0 Here they discussed the fate of the post-war world and possibly drank vodka. \u00a0Today a similar event will occur.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m trying to decide which one I am.\u00a0 Based on my bloody-mindedness I guess Stalin might be the closest analogy.\u00a0 But if politics is the measure, I\u2019ll be Churchill.<\/p>\n

I guess the analogy breaks down along the lines of world domination.\u00a0 The issues that will dominate this conference will be the need to wash down sandwiches and potato salad with lemonade and beer.\u00a0 I am donating the aforementioned potato salad and Camera Girl\u2019s world-famous ricotta cheese cake.\u00a0 There is talk of penny ante poker and Russian roulette but we\u2019ll see about that.\u00a0 I expect points of disagreement but also wide areas of concurrence.\u00a0 My only unbreakable rule will be that I must be addressed as \u201cYour Grand High Celestial Irritableness.\u201d\u00a0 That is like iron!<\/p>\n

This conference occurs at a distinct juncture.\u00a0 The Southern New England states are surreptitiously admitting that even their spineless inhabitants have stopped believing in the mask farce.\u00a0 So, the authorities are grasping the miracle of the vaccine as the excuse for this retreat from mask idiocy and will officially allow us to return to near normalcy.\u00a0 So, we are not expecting Karen to report us to the boys in blue.\u00a0 But if they do show up, we intend to don black-face and stand on our George Floydian right to do whatever the hell we feel like and resist arrest by any and all means up to and including overdosing on fentanyl.\u00a0 Or cheesecake.\u00a0 That\u2019s my preference.<\/p>\n

Seriously, it\u2019s pretty great finally getting together with good friends and celebrate summer appropriately.\u00a0 This will be the first major reassembly of the Morning Coffee Walk in over a year.\u00a0 We\u2019ll probably keep the political discussion to a minimum only because it won\u2019t facilitate good digestion.\u00a0 But we will at the very least discuss Joe Biden\u2019s squint.<\/p>\n

And of course, because of this celebration there will be a noticeable lag in content today.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure all will agree that this kind of conference is worth the cost.\u00a0 The proximity of such high caliber minds is sure to spark some amazing consequences.\u00a0 We may discover anti-gravity or even lo-cal pizza.\u00a0 So let the good times roll.\u00a0 Boy, look at that cape FDR is wearing.\u00a0 Maybe I need one of those.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
