There is a lot of evidence that FDR and the U.S. military leaders antagonized Japan and goaded them into attacking prior tk Pearl Harbor. Not saying that we wanted Pearl Harbor to happen but that we were hoping for some sort of Japanese action that would result in U.S. citizens supporting entering the war.
Definitely would not be the first or last time that politicians and military brass have looked for ways to drum up support for a military campaign.
I was writing about the old tropes more than your post.
Without any doubt, the most racist place I have ever been is China. I regret that we took our child on that vacation. I hated every second of being there. The most fun part was my son spotted our Govt agents tailing us. I was OSI and they were watching closely whenever I spoke to any Chinese person.
Even the government provided tour guides made sure we knew they hated us and only tolerated our presence because of our cash. i suggest no one ever tour China for pleasure.
My heart is still in Japan. My wife would leave everything to move back there, if I said we were going.
Had an encounter with him at 2001 PGA championship in a practice round. Buddy of mine and I took our 8 year old sons. They were chasing autographs of course. Coming off 9th green was Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia, Retief Goodsen, and Colin. The first three stopped to sign their hats and even gave one a ball and the other a glove. Colin basically cussed the kids and knocked a pen out of my sons hand. Let's just say I take great joy in any misfortune he has on the golf course.@peaygolf
Ever talked to or been around Colin
Montgomerie?
My oldest son’s AF unit recently worked a tournament in Birmingham that Colin was at. Without going into detail, he did not have good things to say (and his group was ‘warned’ about him).
Reminds me of my experience with Geronimo Berroa… I was an 11-12 yr old kid and had a ball thrown to me at a KJAY game…. My favorite player was Berroa at the time… After the game…. Kids would wait near where the players exited the field for autographs… I asked Berroa for an autograph…. He cussed me and told me to get the F out of his way…. I started hoping he would fail so badly.Had an encounter with him at 2001 PGA championship in a practice round. Buddy of mine and I took our 8 year old sons. They were chasing autographs of course.

Will that even be a possibility? He has contracts, and the PGA seems to have closed that door with the ban.Well, the irony is that a PGA player didn’t win the PGA championship. Whatever one thinks of LIV, that is ironic.
On a doubly-ironic note, I think Brooks will be back on the PGA Tour pretty soon.
It's really not like that at all, as the SEC championship isn't even open to other participants. The Fedex cup is probably more akin to that because it'd never happen.It would be like USC or Ohio State winning the SEC Championship
It's about as ironic as anything in the song.I get it, but the analysis of whether something is ironic doesn’t go very deep.
For example, if a candy salesman won a tournament sponsored by the American Dental Association, it would be ironic. That’s the whole analysis: a rote observation of circumstances. There are no value judgments or historical perspectives involved. No nuanced parsing of the details.
