Anybody remember when doctors recommended a diet of cottage cheese and tinned pineapple? Gold era for these guys. I think it was for ulcers in the 1960s. Also saw pic of Nixon's last WH meal which was cottage cheese. The older you get the weirder the past you remember.

That reminded me of:

this.

The first time my dad saw that, he laughed so hard he almost fell on the floor.

Love Pres. Trump's latest tweet:
'Iran will be held fully responsible for lives lost, or damage incurred, at any of our facilities. They will pay a very BIG PRICE! This is not a Warning, it is a Threat. Happy New Year!'

- 'This is not a warning, it is a threat'. We need this new directness. The world is like an unruly classroom and school teachers in my day talked like this to establish order.

Spiny: She does look more Hispanic. That's probably why I've seen very similar likenesses in cigar and fruit ads.

Bruce: That's the right stuff, for sure. Btw, I read somewhere that one of the leaders of the assault on the U.S. embassy was once a guest of Obama's in the White House. Color me "unsurprised".

I've often said nothing makes pineapple better, than cottage cheese; and nothing makes cottage cheese better, than pineapple. Didn't know it was supposed to be good for you, too. Bonus!

And re: President Trump & Iran - Since he will get criticized no matter what action he takes, on anything, he may as well go ahead and do what needs to be done, and ignore the bleating naysayers.
