The Three Whisky Happy Hour: Cage Match Edition

We finally get around to our promised but delayed cage match about Ukraine and unanswered questions about January 6, and alas, all of Steve's attempts to cheer up Lucretia with the week's great news—the Hunter Biden indictment, the embarrassment of Ivy League presidents, Kevin McCarthy resigning, Trump winning Tom Friedman's vote—proved unavailing. Futile, even. Why Lucretia even trashed McDonald's, which is really fightin' words for John.

But then we get down to business, with the bruising cage match. Steve did his best to play a "neutral" Sean Hannity, posing challenges to both John and Lucretia about both topics, but occasionally donning a Hershey's Kiss-sized tin foil hat on a couple of points. Score the jabs about roundhouse blows at home, and send in your point total in the comment threads.

John and Lucretia were united on one topic, though: Both attacked Steve for his fondness for classic Genesis, which Steve discussed at length this week on Steve Gosney's Rumble channel here (or YouTube version here) if you have the proper tastes in "rock music that went to college," to quote Jody Bottum on prog rock. Natually, Steve takes out revenge with the exit music, with a fragment of a classic Genesis song that includes the fitting lyric, "Even academics, searching printed word. . ." Who can name that song without looking it up?

Well done!

1. Our local McDonald's is offering a McRib at the regular price, and a second for a dollar. I bit. Literally, because I ate the first for lunch and the second for dinner. This may be the first time I find myself aligned with Lucretia against John. And I accept the nomination for a Darwin award.
2. Loved Lucretia's opening salvos against optimism and happiness. They were so enjoyable I smiled.
3. Steve wins the day for A Trick of the Tale, and The Chamber of 32 Doors.
