The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If he had named it "Southern Cross", the op could have had a really neat theme song...but then, Trump would probably try to cheat the Richard Rodgers estate out of the royalty.

Beneath the Southern Cross


Great series- Victory at Sea

And properly sonorous music for a pretentious Secretary of !!WAR!! to go to !!WAR!!

But the title….”Beneath the Southern Cross”???……… knock off the introductory preposition and definite article…… and you are left with the title of a REAL song!

YouTube: Crosby, Stills & Nash - Southern Cross (B3R3Z1N4)

Not so great as a theme song for going to war, though.

Too woke, I suppose.
