I just heard the best one ...

"The supreme Court will declare age 65 age discrimination".

He was dead serious.

It really is sad how self-deluded some of these folks are. They are so desperate to keep 'working', some of them will tell themselves almost anything.

I've seen one who compared his "forced" retirement to the death of a loved one.

Add it to the list right next to the buffoon on FB that compared it to the fight for civil rights and also to storming the beaches of Normandy.

Ludicrous.

I went to Normandy in October five years ago and walked each beach during my weeklong stay. The distances and enormity of the undertaking were very eye opening. Highly recommend for all of you to see it. Also, a week isn’t long enough to see even a quarter of the stuff.

I highly recommend a stop at Pointe du Hoc as well. Also take a trip to St Marie Eglise and the see the John Steele memorial. If you're not familiar with that region, it's Calvados. If you like Cognac you'll go bonkers over Calvados. French export and sell the world Cognac, they keep the Calvados (mostly) to themselves

Calvados, je suis d’accord. Might I also suggest a jigger of Ricard & one large cube of ice. Sip it.

He still pops into EPAS occasionally to join in the ALPA bashing.
He doesn’t seem to be any less bitter.
