…So said John Belushi’s famously addled character in Animal House. Today’s CNN front page has a “National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day” photo…of goose-stepping Nazi soldiers.
Cecil Adams once wrote “people today have the historical awareness of tree squirrels.”
I think people here remember things a bit bet…Squirrel!!!
Yeah, you’d think they could find at least one picture from Pearl Harbor…good catch.
Given his drug habit, don’t you mean ‘So said the famously-addled John Belushi’s character…’? 
Before the maligned movie came out in 2001, I had no idea where Pearl Harbor was located, or what happened there. Such is my ignorance of not just World War II, but American history.
*Though I am not American
What I’m seeing there now under the National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day link is a photo of a burning ship.
I think the goose-steppers were meant to be part of the “World War II In Pictures” link that’s right below the Pearl Harbor one.
Yes, two different stories. They changed the picture since I saw it at 6:00 CST.
Well, it’s all inside the same color background box, labeled “National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day” above and “World War II In Pictures” below. Either the pictures rotate over time, or they made a correction to lead with a Pearl Harbor pic.
I’d have done it a little differently, visually setting the non-Pearl pics apart from the Pearl headline. The Pacific War participants are already overshadowed enough by the “Germany First” policy.
Forget it, they’re rolling ?
Could have been worse. Fox would have accidentally reported that the attack had been ordered by Adolf Hitler (D).
OMG, please, please, please, post a link or a link to a screen capture.
I’m going to look right now.
And/or blamed Obama for it.
Hmmm… Hawaii is where Obama’s birth certificate was supposed to be. Maybe there is a connection!
And the media is helping him hide Hawaii!
For the record: Here it is. (Almost. He wrote just “squirrels”, not “tree squirrels”.)
Hell NO! And it ain’t over now. Because when the going gets tough…the tough get going! Who’s with me? Let’s go!
What got me when we visited Pearl Harbor was how small it was. In the movies it seemed so much bigger.
BTW, sure was nice for the Japanese to sink those ships in a shallow harbor surrounded by repair facilities. Weren’t most of the ships refloated and back in service within a year?
Yes, they were reconditioned and weapons systems updated. Of course by this time the Day of the Battleship was pretty much over as carriers had become the new Capital Ships.
However, the old battleships got a measure of revenge at the Battle of Surigao Strait in the Philippines in late 1944 as they performed the classic "crossing the T’ on the IJN forces and shot the crap out of them.
Cecil was wrong. Squirrels remember where they have buried acorns.
