re: Do Louisianians get annoyed at how non-Louisianians consider Los Angeles to be LA?

I don't mind if they say L.A. I don't mind if they say Elay (or El A, El Ay or some derivation).
When they type/write "LA" (no periods) and they mean Los Angeles, I just assume they're r-tarded.

These people think that in the past 6,000 years, rope has only been used to lynch blacks in the southern US.
If you explained to folks that whites were lynched at much higher numbers through about 1885 (and certainly not all vigilante actions were race-based) in the United States and that both whites and blacks were victims of racial terror lynchings, would it even register to these proggie, Antifa types?

Part of me wants to say, "This has to be parody."
And part of me knows that's unlikely.

I mean, yes, but...we were constantly trying to spot as many of the EU countries on plates as we could and there were a lot of non-German vehicles. As far as I could tell, everyone was following the rules.
Fair point, but the Polizei remain German.

30 years total - over 4 1/2 active.

(The "battleship" noted was actually the heavy cruiser Mikuma.)

CAPTAIN RICHARD E. FLEMING
UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS RESERVE
for service as set forth in the following CITATION:
For extraordinary heroism and conspicuous intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty as Flight Officer, Marine Scout-Bombing Squadron TWO FORTY-ONE during action against enemy Japanese forces in the Battle of Midway on June 4 and 5, 1942. When his squadron Commander was shot down during the initial attack upon an enemy aircraft carrier, Captain Fleming led the remainder of the division with such fearless determination that he dived his own plane to the perilously low altitude of four hundred feet before releasing his bomb. Although his craft was riddled by 179 hits in the blistering hail of fire that burst upon him from Japanese fighter guns and antiaircraft batteries, he pulled out with only two minor wounds inflicted upon himself. On the night of June 4, when the Squadron Commander lost his way and became separated from the others, Captain Fleming brought his own plane in for a safe landing at its base despite hazardous weather conditions and total darkness. The following day, after less than four hours' sleep, he led the second division of his squadron in a coordinated glide-bombing and dive-bombing assault upon a Japanese battleship. Undeterred by a fateful approach glide, during which his ship was struck and set afire, he grimly pressed home his attack to an altitude of five hundred feet, released his bomb to score a near-miss on the stern of his target, then crashed to the sea in flames. His dauntless perseverance and unyielding devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
(The "battleship" noted was actually the heavy cruiser Mikuma.)

In all seriousness, Germans are literally the exception that proves the rule. I have it on reliable authority that French and Italian drivers are awful. I know from personal experience that Southern European drivers (the Balkans) are G-dawful. "Lafayette" bad.

re: Anyone know of any books on the Mafia during WW2?
Posted by Ace Midnight on 7/14/26 at 7:27 am to shinerfan
This is one I think I need to read:
Operation Underworld: How the Mafia and U.S. Government Teamed Up to Win World War II - Matthew Black
There's another one called "Mafia Allies" by Timothy Newark that looks interesting, but the Operation Underworld looks just my speed.

Kaf, not for nothing, but I always think of this thread when I see something about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
So, the thread has had impact.

I read fast (relatively). The first 5 books of A Song of Ice and Fire are around 4500 pages.
If I committed to reading this, assuming it reads at that pace, I figure it would take me 60 to 65 hours. 20 mins a day, that's 6 months. 1 hour a day, that's 2 months.
