"The Crab Legs Go Rolling Along."

[media=https://youtu.be/sd7gqrz7yak]

Over bill, over tab, we have cracked another crab,
And the crab legs go rolling along.
“Pour champagne! Pass the tail!”
Hear the well-fed generals hail,
While the crab legs go rolling along.

Chorus:
For it's “Hi! Hi! Hee!” at the luxury soirée,
Call for the lobster loud and strong.
And where e’er we dine
You will surely find
That the crab legs go rolling along.

Silver trays, endless plates, caviar for all the mates,
And the crab legs go rolling along.
“Another round! Fill the glass!”
Hear the dinner orders pass,
While the crab legs go rolling along.

Chorus:
For it's “Hi! Hi! Hee!” at the luxury soirée,
Call for the lobster loud and strong.
And where e’er we dine
You will surely find
That the crab legs go rolling along.

From the set to the hall, where the chandeliers enthrall,
And the crab legs go rolling along.
Once seen on “Breaking news!”
Now Pete orders vintage booze,
While the crab legs go rolling along.

Chorus:
For it's “Hi! Hi! Hee!” at the luxury soirée,
Call for the lobster loud and strong.
And where e’er we dine
You will surely find
That the crab legs go rolling along.

“Camera three! Cue the band!”
Hear the maître d’ command,
While the crab legs go rolling along.
Trade the studio light
For a banquet every night,
While the crab legs go rolling along.

Chorus:
For it's “Hi! Hi! Hee!” at the luxury soirée,
Call for the lobster loud and strong.
And where e’er we dine
You will surely find
That the crab legs go rolling along.

It’s all MS Nobody cares made up nonsense when it comes to the vast amount of money used to feed special meals to the millions of soldiers and sailors.

There were 272 orders of doughnuts for $139,224 delivered to the Pentagon - about the same time that Hegseth was threatening to fire generals who were overweight.

That's $511.85 per order. At an average of $21.50 per dozen, that's around 24 dozen doughnuts per order. At an average of 9 orders a day that's 2,592 doughnuts PER DAY delivered to the Pentagon.

I think it's pretty safe to say these doughnuts weren't making it to the janitors, mail clerks and gate security - but instead to Hegseth and other top brass.

Military Families Could Go Hungry Due to Food Assistance Cuts in GOP's 'Big Beautiful Bill'

"I don't think military families have been specifically singled out in [the bill], but we are concerned about the impact this will have both on those families who are currently receiving SNAP benefits and on the larger effort to expand benefits so more families who are struggling can get help," said Eileen Huck, acting director of government relations at the National Military Family Association.

"We've had so much conversation, at least last year, about food insecurity among military families, and the fact that up to 25% of military families report having experienced food insecurity, so to be having that conversation and then see a potential reduction in the nutrition assistance program is very jarring and very concerning," she added.
