I trust you'll give a raucous Chicago welcome to the Texas National Guard units loitering around the Great Lakes Naval Station.

Personally, I think each soldier should be issued a bottle of Jeppson's #Malort and be required to drink nothing but that and water from Lake Michigan while deployed here. You wanna tell Chicagoans how to live? First you gotta pass a crash course on being a Chicagoan.

Sweet babby Jeebus...I once tasted Malort and personally, I'd rather be hit with a brick than do it again. So...good plan.
