Unlocking Vicksburg was the key to the Anaconda plan, and that was all Grant.

I don't see how singing songs and murdering people is comparable.

No one gives a shit that they were good tacticians because the result of that skill was dead people. Those people killed for a cause that wasn't defensible. Repeating that they were good at that only goes to proves that they were more terrible than the people firing the guns. Fetishizing military accomplishments is generally reserved for psychopaths.

Well, I actually use non-caloric sweeteners in my tea at home nowadays, but even if you're right about that--I'm single, childless, and very few, if any, people are going to give a fuck when I die, and I'm going to a better world after I die anyway--so why should I embrace the modern version of asceticism?

I beg to differ. Plenty of people give a shit that they were good tacticians. The fact that their respective causes were indefensible does not detract from their abilities. And as long as war is a reality in this fallen world, they are worth studying at the very least by those who will have to fight future wars.

I have no idea who is "[f]etishizing military accomplishments". If you are going to accuse anyone, do so directly. Your last sentence smacks of passive/aggressive psychopathology.

I must admit, she looks like the fantasy female figure of a white racist publication.

I practically put myself into a coma on Popeye's sweet tea a couple of nights ago. LOL

I didn’t mean to say you can’t have sugar. I was just saying that from what we now know about sugar and the effect that it has on the body, cavities are the least of the evils that it does.

I know it's not the journalists' job to argue with McEnany, but I wish just once one of them would interrupt some BS rant of hers and say, "Look, I don't care if your idiot feelings are hurt by the question; can I just get a straight, definitive, truthful answer?" $20 to the first journalist that does that.

Now don't be knockin' sweet tea, folks. It's the nectar of the gods, especially since the Dr Pepper company went and ruined Dr Pepper, which no longer tastes like it used to. I'm not talking about replacing cane sugar with corn syrup--it still tasted fine to me after that. This change occurred only in the past year or so. I have to go to Kroger and get "The Fizzicist" to get a "Doctor soda" which still tastes right.
