General Hideki Tojo inquiring phone calls –General Hideki Tojo was the prime minister when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Throughout his tenure he preached self sacrifice, and, when necessary, suicide. When the Marianas were occupied, Tojo was sacked. As the war situation got worse Tojo just sat back.
Finally when the US accepted Japans surrender, Tojo’s wife started getting phone calls. They politely asked “Has your husband committed suicide yet?” His doctor was kind enough to show Tojo where his heart was so he would be sure to kill himself and not survive.
Tojo sat and waited. Finally when the US authorities showed up Tojo shot himself. It was an insincere seppuku. He missed his own heart.

In the 19th century, it was thought that feeding horses beans would cause them to do well in races and those that won spectacularly were said to be “full of beans”. The phrase was eventually shortened to “some beans” to describe a spunky, gutsy person. In the 1960s, it morphed into “cool beans” as a statement of approval. And now you know something you have been wondering about since 1969. Cool beans.

Montco GOP Purging Citizen Advocates — The feckless, reckless Montgomery County Republican Party is speeding their spiral into oblivion by chasing away citizen advocates who threaten the privileges of party loyalists who loyally support raids on the public treasury even when the raids harvest a lower net than senior partner, co-conspiring Democrats.
The latest purge victim is Susan Jane Goldner, who has been elected to her precinct committee post in Lower Gwynedd since 2013. Ms. Goldner is accused of violating party bylaws for sharing an Americans for Prosperity Facebook post criticizing a vote by Congressman and GOP Senate candidate Lou Barletta that massively hiked spending. She also allegedly committed the sins of expressing support on Facebook for a position by Libertarian Senate candidate Dale Kerns who wants to stop making drug addicts criminals; and giving constructive criticism on Facebook concerning the stalled campaign of 4th District Congressional candidate Dan David, who would crash and burn in his race to socialist Madeleine Dean.
Ms. Goldner has been summoned by GOP Chairwoman Elizabeth Preate Havey to appear before a disciplinary hearing on Dec. 8 where a kangaroo court is expected to remove her. She was given the bare minimum amount of time — five business days — to prepare her defense.
Ms. Goldner has said at least three fellow citizen activists –people interested in serving their neighbors not getting a job on the public payroll — have been pushed to quit since May.
This is a strong sign that the Montco political establishment is far more interested in being a fat junior partner than in governance.
The phrase scot-free originally meant escaping your tax payment. “Skat” means tax in Viking talk and the word came to the English when the Vikings rule part of their country (and made them pay taxes).
