Peanuts, Crackerjacks and The Winds of War

Nothing says the start of baseball season than War in Europe. Some days I feel like I’m in the middle of a Herman Wouk novel. Or, at the very least, a television adaptation of the same starring Robert Mitchum. In the last five years, Americans have endured Donald Trump, a plague, the selling the collective souls of the entire Republican Party to ol’ Scratch, and now an escalating bloodshed in Europe. Time really does fly when life as you know it is in the shit bucket. Where in God’s name is Pug Henry when we need him?
 
At least the strike is over, and we have baseball, America’s pastime.
 
SF Giants season started on Friday with a game against the Marlins. Luckily for me, I have good Wi-Fi in both my bunker and my safe room. So, I’ll be dressed in the ol’ orange and black, in the duck and cover position, and ready for the first pitch.
 
And speaking of curve balls. As we raise the winning pennant for the National League, I will be thinking of none other than Ginni Thomas and more specifically:
 
18 USC Ch. 115: TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES
From Title 18.
 
I won’t bother you with the appropriate punishment for violating this seldom utilized statute, but it is worth noting that violating this law contains a few recognizable actions of late. Including:
 
Sec.
 
2381.Treason.
2382.Misprision of treason.
2383.Rebellion or insurrection.
2384.Seditious conspiracy.
2385.Advocating overthrow of Government.
2386. Infield Fly rule
 
Okay, 2386 was a way of tying my rambling diatribe back to the subject. 

In closing: I pray for the end of a war!
 I long for real justice to those who provoked and performed treason!
 And, as my side plea,  here’s hoping that the San Francisco Giants go all the way!
 
Amen
