IMAGINE FOR A MOMENT

if we wrote in German. Or in Japanese.

I think we can all be grateful for der fractured Engrish we speak around here instead. And we can be grateful for those who made it so.

I hope you’ve caught some of History Channel’s WW2 in HD. Almost all new color footage, put into high-def–it’s amazing. Time well spent.

“Those Americans who believed that we could live under the illusion of isolationism wanted the American eagle to imitate the tactics of the ostrich. Now, many of those same people, afraid that we may be sticking our necks out, want our national bird to be turned into a turtle. But we prefer to retain the eagle as it is — flying high and striking hard.”–President Franklin Roosevelt, on Washington’s Birthday, 1942

    For sure. I was lucky enough to have a day off when History channel played the entire series. I caught the latter 2/3rds of the 10 part series and was instantly hooked.

    I was absolutely mesmerized throughout it all.
