The Third Coast

• Mar. 10, 2009 - Deepest Apologies to All My British Sailing Brothers

I was just watching the infernal TV tube, the news (which is about all I watch these days) and learned of the most recent faux-pas by our insidious jerkoff-in-chief, most blatantly comrade obama, and his utter disrespect and embarrassing treatment towards Great Britain’s’ PM Brown. For those who haven’t heard, the new boy in the white house snubbed our closest ally in several reprehensible ways.

First, as is customary with a new president, symbolic and valuable gifts were exchanged with our greatest supporter, England.

PM Brown presented the Untied States the usual cadre of priceless and thoughtfully chosen gifts including a first edition of one of Churchill’s books, and a pen holder created from wood of the Resolute’s sister ship…..in response, it seems our newly elected joker presented our closest friends with a set of 25 DVD’s of American “classic” movies (including ET and Psycho), which unfortunately are not able to be played in GB due to recording incompatibilities. In addition he returned a bust of Winston Churchill that was given the US on 9-11 as a gesture of the solidarity between our two nations.

And, to add insult to injury, PM Brown was even denied a formal state dinner here (no $100 a pound Kobi beef for you sir….we have to reserve that for dignitaries like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakan….).

Real classy moves obongo….

So, I am posting this rant to apologize to all of you in Great Britain, our Mother Country for this utter undiplomatic and undeserved slap in the face. I am thoroughly disgusted, ashamed and embarrassed of my government, and want you to know that I in no way support their abominable behavior. Many of us see this president and his gang of thugs as a colorful (but pathetically dangerous) version of the Beverly Hillbillies  (another American classic and one our esteemed president would do well to take note of).

There are many of us who resist him with all the defiance that this nation is still capable of mustering.

Of course, you probably already have gathered that if you read any of this stuff that gets put here on this site….You know that I am well aware of where our sailing blood here in the “colonies” originated, the very blood that courses through my veins. Our history is forever entwined, and we will always be inseparable as people. We are brothers of the sea, bound together by that element. No governments shall come between us!

My admiration and awe of ya’ll borders on reverence, and as Americans we still have a great deal to learn. …

hi,
an interesting viewpoint. a lot of us here thought gwb was a beverly hillbilly, or at any rate a hillbilly. anyway "great britain" is not interchangeable with "england".
fair winds,

Interesting stuff, because Churchill is revered in Britain in the same way as JFK or Lincoln might be in the US.... and shares much in common with Obama in terms of oratory skill....

Ah well, never mind, lets just keep our heads down, our spirits up, and ensure that the glass is never dry!

Thank you for the correction.....As I said, we have a lot to learn.

In terms of our previous and present.....unfortunately, it appears the US of A has gone from bad to worse in administration(s).....And at such a critical juncture in the world, nobody can afford it.

Yep.....most importantly we'll keep our glasses full and our powder dry ;-)

Fair winds to ya'll my brothers!

Well these gifts from Barack Obama are much more appreciated than the gift of war foist upon us by Bush. Please keep up the great work Mr. Obama!

Every body acknowledges that men's life is not cheap, but some people require money for different things and not every person gets big sums money. Thus to get some <a href="http://lowest-rate-loans.com/topics/home-loans">home loans</a> or short term loan would be a proper way out.

The Captains Profile:

Some men and women are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any scalawag who stands between them and unlimited power. You never met a man - or woman - you couldn't eviscerate. You are the definitive Man of Action, the CEO of the Seven Seas, Lee Iacocca in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. You’re mission-oriented, and if anyone gets in the way, that’s his problem, now isn’t? Your buckle was swashed long ago and you have never been so sure of anything as your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off his head if he shows any sign of taking you on or backing down. If one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not.
