CAYA; Lying in the Armageddon of My Sweet Kim Jong-un

Dear Lost Souls,

Who ever thought a spoiled brat in black pajamas could be so damn dangerous! We've got nuclear missiles on the launch pad for what could essentially amount to suicide by clueless stupidity . . . plus a million souls of collateral damage; just to drive the point home! God help us all! Meanwhile, the headless chicken brigade in Washington is running around trying to figure out how many bullets we should let you put in your high-capacity magazine . . . Jazus . . . get me a Caipirinha and an escape pod!

Yes, my Armageddon Argonauts, Cocktail Hour is on for the Friday evening! Contrary to the chaos in the rest of the world, it has been a LOUVley week the Bay . . . and as, yet again, there may be disaster on the horizon, we best take a moment to gather around the Haberdashery's sacred hearth, share an adult beverage, and count our collective blessings. The Cabana Boys are at your service!

Cocktails will be served at 7:30pm. Please feel free to stop by for a quickie en route to your primary Friday evening emergency shelter . . . or to linger indefinitely.

Yours!
Los Cabañeros

!! Please drink responsibly and arrange for safe transportation !! . . . your well-being is our first priority!

Come As You Are - A Nation at War

Dear Lost Souls,

For better or worse, we are at war. Cocktail Hour is on for this Friday night. We invite you to take a momentary pause from the burden of these days and join us in the company of familiar friendly faces. The passion of your opinions is welcomed, but please leave your anger at the door. As always, please feel free to stop by for a quickie on route to your chosen Friday venue or to linger indefinitely. Yours,

Greg

“Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.”
