Who Would Win in a Bar Fight #71
Smedley Butler…
…or…
…Toby Keith?
Notable quotes…
“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”- Smedley D. Butler (America’s Most Decorated Soldier)
…and…
“we’ll put a boot in your ass, it’s the American way”- Toby Keith (singer)
Today’s bar fight was inspired by this recent interview.

When supposed fighters say fightin’ words, so that you must make a decision on outcome… one must look at the fighter’s ears.
Real fighters have ‘cauliflower ears.’ Like this ear on Chuck Liddell http://www.mmabay.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/chuck-liddell-2.jpg
In the photo’s above both characters have pristine ears… so I think they might be questionable fighters. I call this bar fight null.
Now, they mention Gordon Gekko in the interview with Jesse V, and that is fitting. Because they mention almost every point of contention that causes a TwitterStorm these days concerning ReSpookliccans, and DemoCribs… but the truth is that no one is more complacent than me. I don’t Twitter.
Interesting that you don’t Twitter. I make it a point to avoid wearing flip-flops.
