Weeper of the House John Boehner turns 65 years drunk today, so of course we all want to wish him the most heartfelt and sincere happy birthday, just like the once-and-future Speaker Pelosi did.
I'm gonna need to knock it back . . . and keep 'em coming! I'm training for brunch with Sister Peggy Noonan of Our Lady of the Mimosa Tanker.
“I [John Kenneth Galbreath] said he [de Gaulle] obviously agreed with me that the world belongs to the tall men. They are more visible, therefore their behavior is better and accordingly they are to be trusted. He said that he agreed and added, `It is important that we be merciless with those who are too small.` “
De Gaulle was a figurehead, propped up by the Allies as the "real" leader of France, which at the time was inconveniently occupied by some dude of uncertain provenance who wanted universal health care and gun control. The Corsican, on the other hand, was a terrific military success and slaughterer of millions, for a while. His greatest achievements (in the opinion of this cartographile) were the Metric System and mapping the earth on a common grid and scale.

Time to retire.
Enjoy your day, Mr. Speaker. Orange, drunk, and reeking of smoke is the new Black!

Boehner's only 65? Geez, his policies are so out of date I thought he was probably born in 1930!
De Gaulle wanted his image to stand tall above that of another French general. He didn't get his wish.

De Gaulle really not a popular guy in <a href="https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\?v=C0LQBcygNew" target="_blank">Canada</a>
And how popular was [tries to think of Canadian PM besides Pierre Trudeau] was in France?
Well, sure, but did any of our PM&#039;s go over to France and advocate that a big chunk of it become a separate country?
