Worth reposting: In #16 lucius septimius said: In #15 JCM said: Representatives of the Japanese Government signed the formal surrender documents on the quarterdeck of the USS Missouri (BB 63). Nowadays, General McArthur would be bowing and apologizing to the Japanese for American neo-colonialist imperialism and the culture of violence. But back then: From this article “In Navy custom whenever a dignitary comes aboard there are sideboys — enlisted men — who stand at attention along the gangway, saluting him. “MacArthur was so aware of the psychology of that moment. “He knew the Japanese had an inferiority complex about their height, so he sent word that none of the sideboys should be less than 6 feet, 2 inches tall. Years later, covering the Celtics, I remember thinking that was something (Red) Auerbach would have done.
Today, that would be considered a terrible thing to do to the Nips. Then, it was proper, as it should be.

Reply to buzzsawmonkey in 2: A good reminder to those people who come to the US to get away from the shithole they came from, only to insist the US become like that. "Why do you want to make the US like the place you left because it sucks? If it was better there, go back, or accept our way is better.:

JCM, if you get this the laptop is set for Friday delivery by 8:00PM so I’ll get that started then. Thank you so much! I should finally be able to use two hands to blog here, one finger typing sucks big time.

In #21 Occasional Reader said: Current NPR-supported progressive thought:
We should smash up all those Jewish-owned businesses, because those Jews have all the money so they have it coming:
https://mobile.twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg/status/1301242403144241155
Oh, and Trump is Hitler. Nazi Palestinian Radio says Krystallnacht justified. So I say, no more government funding. Targeted Jewish and Korean businesses should sue NPR for triple damages. None of that is to be paid for by taxes. If it means those businesses own the radio and TV licenses, OK.

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 22: Look, they were trying to land an interview with this very interesting Progressive journalist they heard about named Julius Streicher, but apparently he was unavailable. So this was the best they could do.

Reply to Kosh's Shadow in 22: Anyway, the science is settled, You People are “the face of capital”, what with your hook noses and/or slanty eyes (as the case may be). Our very best expert phrenologists have confirmed it. What are you, anti-science?
