 Samuel W. Eskew 1954 - 2023 |
It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Samuel W. Eskew of Savannah, Georgia, who passed away at the age of 69, on April 12, 2023. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Samuel W. Eskew to show support. +++ Stupidity and well meaning are paved with good intentions. What were the Bud idiots thinking? When things are working leave them alone. Why does Corporate America want to get involved in social messaging's that are controversial. IDIOTS!!!! Bad way to destroy a good thing. Coca Cola, Delta all have touched the stupidity bell to their detriment. === |

Amid the controversy about the Bud Light partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, executives at the company are reportedly panicking about how to do damage control despite not being informed of the campaign.
According to an anonymous source, senior executives at Bud Light's parent company Anheuser-Busch were blind-sighted by the Mulvaney partnership, calling it a mistake.
"No one at a senior level was aware this was happening," the source told the Daily Wire. "Some low-level marketing staffer who helps manage the hundreds of influencer engagements they do must have thought it was no big deal."
The source voiced frustration with the team at Bud Light, saying that the beer should only be known for its refreshing adult beverage, not its political views.
"It was [a big deal], and it's a shame because they have a well-earned reputation for just being America's beer — not a political company," the source continued.
The deal has cost the company roughly $6 billion in sales after an uproar of outrage from across the country vowed to boycott the beer.
Another source told the outlet that in the future, Anheuser-Busch will implement a more "robust" procedure before considering a partnership to "avoid another public relations nightmare."
According to OpenSecrets, Republican employees dominate Democrat employees at Anheuser-Busch. The company donates to both parties; however, in 2022, the company donated to Republican candidates.

Why a Former Magazine Reporter Says the Intel Leaker Story Will Get Ugly Fast

Yesterday, my daughter emailed me, asking why I didn't do something useful with my time during retirement.
"Like sitting around the pool, drinking wine isn't a good thing?" I asked.
Talking about my "doing something useful" seems to be her favorite topic of conversation.
She is "only thinking of me," she said and suggested that I go down to the Senior Center and hang out with the fellas.
So, I did and when I got home, I decided to play a prank on her. I sent her an email saying that I had joined the Senior Parachute Club.
She replied, "Are you NUTS? You're 80-years-old and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?”
I told her that I even had a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to her.
Immediately, she telephoned me and yelled; "Good grief, Dad, where are your glasses?! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club.”
"Oh man, am I in trouble?" I said; "I signed up and prepaid for five jumps a week!
THE LINE WENT DEAD.
Life as a Senior Citizen may not be getting any easier, but it can be FUN‼️

NOW THIS IS A TEACHER!
In September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a History teacher at Robinson High School in Little Rock , did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks in her classroom.
When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks.
'Ms. Cothren, where are our desks?'
She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn the right to sit at a desk.'
They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades' 'No,' she said.
'Maybe it's our behavior.' She told them, 'No, it's not even your behavior.'
And so, they came and went, the first period, second period, third period. Still no desks in the classroom. Kids called their parents to tell them what was happening and by early afternoon television news crews had started gathering at the school to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room.
The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the desk-less classroom. Martha Cothren said, 'Throughout the day, no one has been able to tell me just what he or she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom.
Now I am going to tell you.'
At this point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it.
Twenty-seven (27) U.S. Veterans, all in uniform, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk. The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall. By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned.
Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks. These heroes did it for you. They placed the desks here for you. They went halfway around the world, giving up their education and interrupting their careers and families so you could have the freedom you have Now, it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens. They paid the price so that you could have the freedom to get an education. Don't ever forget it'
By the way, this is a true story. And this teacher was awarded the Veterans of Foreign Wars Teacher of the Year for the State of Arkansas in 2006. She is the daughter of a WWII POW
Do you think this email is worth passing along so others won't forget either, that the freedoms we have in this great country were earned by our U.S Veterans?... I did.
Let us always remember the men and women of our military and the rights they have won for us.
