Apple Jacks, Raisin Bran and why Puerto RIco Shouldn't Have Been in the WBC
I'm literally eating us out of house and home. There will be no more ACME trips, so the rest of the week is about consumption. That said, as we run out of food so I have to start getting creative. Last night at 11 PM, I had the last of the bread in a peanut butter sandwich (which, mind you, caused for a hell of a dry mouth morning) so a craving for peanut butter resulted in a bloated, thirsty me holding a peanut buttery spoon on the sofa. Prior to that, I mixed the last of the Raisin Bran with the beginning of the Apple Jacks (so that I could have a full bowl). The Jacks were deliciously fresh, the Bran peculiarly stale (especially the raisins). Hell, I was just happy not to find millipedes. The move is just around the corner and I have a hell of a lot of food left. It's gonna be weird being full and empty at the same time.
Puerto Rico was annexed to the United States officially with the formation of their constitution in 1952, which declared it a Commonwealth of the United States of America. Now, I know there are those of you saying "but wait! A commonwealth and a state are two different things!"
Well, to those people who say said above thing, I offer you this... can you think of any other Commonwealths that the United States have under their governance?
Can't think of any? Well how about Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Virginia and Kentucky? All Commonwealths under their respective constitutions and as labeled on state seals, documents, etc. This being said, I call for the World Baseball Classic to be started over, Japan give the trophy back and we start over with Puerto Rico's team deferred to the U.S.A. team. Let's be fair, world. Let's be fair.
Maybe then PR will see the benefits of being a full fledged state. Si, baby.
