Boomer’s Sunday
It’s time once again, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes, for Boomer’s Sunday, where I cull through his weekly offering of ‘toons, and pick the best. Honorable Mention goes to my pals Chuck, Gerhart, Woke Infidel, AW1 Scott, AW1 Rod, and our own OAM, ARC-TI, President Elect Toxic Deplorable Racist SAH B Woodman, Cameron, Skippy, HMCS(FMF) ret, Poetrooper, Mason, Jeff LPH 3 63-66, thebesig, Keepin’ It Real, and Ex, who also have provided some entertainment. These are mostly from the right, with humor scattered around. I am more than willing to post up differing points of view if they don’t annoy me. Now what could be fairer than that? So here we are, with the ‘toons that may amuse, make you think, or just piss you off.

Ah! Ready for another week of Global Wierding!
‘Ready for another week of Global Weirding’ reminds me of what Hunter Thompson reminded us all: “When the going gets Weird, the weird turn Pro”…
Thank you AW1Ed for yet another round of THE best Sunday Funnies found anywhere on the entire world wide web!!!
Ex, the guy you also need to thank is Boomer, the retired E-8 octogenarian out in Guam who sends out new batches of these daily. What you see here are just a fraction of Boomer’s total weekly output.
If you want to get on the daily distribution list, I’m sure Ed can manage that for you, or I can.
This morning, I told my wife I want to be cremated.
She made an appointment for Wednesday.
You haven’t heard? Alkaline hydrolysis (liquifaction of your remains) is the new, environmentally friendly, hotness.

I wonder if, when thinking about what’s “green” and “environmentally friendly” do they ever stop to consider that all of us creatures of Earth are designed to just melt back into the earth naturally? It’s the literal circle of life.
“liquefaction of your remains”
Wasn’t that process pioneered by the Mexican drug cartels? Who knew they were so environmentally friendly.
Heisenberg lives still…..
Another company will incorporate one’s remains into the planting of a tree. If someone were to do that to what’s left of me after I pass, make it a pecan tree so people can taste my NUTS!
Google “Natural Organic Reduction” aka “Throw Grandma on the compost heap…”
I’m enjoying being entertained by stupidity, ’cause you damn shore can’t fix it.
Time to pledge our lives, our fortunes, our Sacred Honor, and water the Tree of Liberty yet?
Tanks!
True dat. All of it. (We live in strange times.)
True indeed. As John Lennon sang ‘Strange days indeed! Most peculiar Momma’
A lot of people say that Lennon was actually quite conservative in his views and was sick of everyone trying to get something for nothing out of his pocket.
He complained a lot about the tax rate in England and it got him into some trouble and that is one of the reasons he moved to the USA.
When people say that life isn’t fair, John Lennon was a perfect example of just how unfair it can be…
Along with one of the nicest guys I ever knew that lived to bury his oldest son, his wife just after he retired and his sister before he could begin to get organized.
One of the nicest guys on Earth….
Sometimes things send you down the rabbit hole looking for more information.
(Please know that what follows is not meant to take away from the message or point of the meme. It is just that to me, the elements of the meme are just as interesting if not moreso.)
The meme entitled “It’s Our Shared History” has a sentiment that is thought provoking and but I was curious as to where it came from.
It seems on some level the quote came from former Senator and Lt. Col Allen West who said something very similar on a FoxNews broadcast.

What I was really interested in was the backstory of the picture.
It is not what it is portrayed to be. It is not a picture of a Union and Confederate soldier. (The story is even better.)
The image is of George Armstrong Custer and his younger brother Thomas Ward Custer sometime during 1864 or 1865.
Thomas Ward Custer was the first person to win two Medals of Honor – the first for his actions at the battle of Willicomack Creek (Namozine Church) in April 2, 1865 and then for his actions at Deatonsville (Sailor’s Creek) just four days later on April 6, 1865.
Thomas Ward Custer followed his older brother out west and along with a younger brother Boston, were killed with George Armstrong Custer at the Battle of Little Big Horn in June 25, 1876.
Several citations say that Thomas Ward Custer’s body was so mutilated at Little Big Horn that he was only identified by a tattoo. It was said that his heart had been cut out by Indians, but that charge was denied by the Indians.
More often than not, it seems that the truth behind something is more interesting than that of what we portray it to mean today.
What a wild story.
Carver, interesting that you should bring up that particular historical event. Miz Poe, my little West Texas sweet thang, is a descendant of the pioneering Reynolds/Matthews ranching clans, one of whose members also died with Custer that fateful day, Lonesome Charley Reynolds:

I ferreted out this historical tidbit, which mentions Thomas Custer, while researching and building Miz Poe’s family tree a few years ago.
I covered Thomas Custer in a VF post a while back on dual MoH recipients.

Nope. It’s not his younger brother, but a West Point classmate, Lt. James B. Washington.
