The classic answer is La Bamba. Love the song, no idea what the lyrics are.

Chicken Hawks who wouldn't go when they were called, but will happily send everyone else's children to die for their oil.

As soon as HitlerPig starts his war, he'll call for a draft. There is no way my son will fight in a MAGA War.

Not the hockey trophy.

It's one of those big 40 oz insulated cups with a handle, lid, and straw. Put in some ice and cold water, and it will stay cold for 24 hours. They were made famous by the Stanley Tool company. The Stanley ones are about $45, but now there are lots of cheaper knockoffs. I got mine at Aldi for $13.

They've become an entire industry in themselves. They even make accessories for them. I saw a short news story on the wildly decorated house of a woman who designed a special purse that had two compartments, one for her stuff, and one for her big tumbler. She made them in all sorts of color combinations, and had them all displayed on shelves in her basement office. They've become extremely popular, and have made her rich.

Get one. They work great. I carry mine with me everywhere I go. When I leave a fast food place, I always fill my empty cup with ice, and dump it in my tumbler when I get in the car.

I'll bet that's way more about the "Stanley Cup" tumbler than you thought existed.

Not at all, my parents have neighbors of every type. Definitely NOT a segregated neighborhood, but they don't like outsiders wandering the streets. The result is almost no crime at all of any kind.

My parents live in a gater community that prohibits rentals of less than 6 months. The community is gated to keep outsiders out, so allowing unverified strangers to rent a house for a night or a weekend would violate the most basic reasons for the neighborhood to exist.

My favorite beverage is a glass of ice water. Friends are always offering a beer or a soda, and all I want is a tall glass of ice water.

Now I carry a big Stanley cup of ice water everywhere I go.

I know two people who refuse to drink water, and even say that they HATE water.

Don't eat cats, that's gross.

We have truth-in-advertising laws. You can't make claims about a product that isn't true.

Politics is just a product, being sold by a candidate. If that candidate lies about the product they "represent," and the voters rely on those promised lies, the politician should be held responsible for that lie.

For instance, HitlerPig claimed for years that he had a first-rate health care plan that was two weeks away from release. Finally, during his debate with Harris, he admitted that all they had were "concepts" of a plan. Clearly, there was never a plan at all.

Politicians should be held accountable for their deliberate lies.

Not always true. The Berlin Wall fell so suddenly that no western intelligence agency predicted it. The rest of the Iron Curtain countries fell over the next six weeks, with fairly light defense by the governments.

Which is about 12 million Americans.
