HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS!

37-27, and it was a closer game than the score indicates. The Cowboys dominated in the first half. The Pack came back in the third quarter, but the Cowboys put it away in the fourth. Too bad that Farve was hurt; I would have liked to see his try at a comeback. Those 2 interference calls were close, and I hate to see a game decided because of a penalty or two.

All in all, it lived up to it's billing. GO COWBOYS!

The Eagle has Landed (again)

F15's grounded --- again ---.

Oops. Looks like we got us a bigger problem with all of the F15's, not just the C's and D's.

USS Kitty Hawk

NOT ANOTHER DIME of mine goes to Chinese crap.

(You DID hear that the g-d Chinese denied the Kitty Hawk port entry into Hong Kong? Many, many families spent big money to travel to HK to see their loved ones.)

Again, f*** the Chinese b*******. My grandpa (LtCmdr USNR) is turning over in his grave.

USO ignoring Afghanistan?

On O'Reilly tonight, Bill interviewed Edward Powell, the President of the USO. O'Reilly just returned from Afghanistan, and Bill was upset that more big-names weren't in more shows there. O'Reilly asked Powell why there weren't more shows, and more big names. Powell tried his best, but he laid the blame squarely on DOD for not providing enough airlift and security for more shows.

I don't know...we are in the middle of very important actions there, and it's important to keep our manpower availability high. That said, my initial reaction is to call b.s. on Powell's excuse. A $150 million budget would lease a lot of 747's and a lot of Blackwater guards.

Let's see how it plays out...if I'm wrong, I'd like to hear about it. If I'm right...fire his ass.

A great reason to BOMB IRAN

Why the hell didn't I think of this? What a great way to get the wackos behind bars and out of our lives:

"Hands Off Iran" [Noah Pollak]

Writing in The Nation, Chris Hedges would like you to know that in these times, he is suffering a terrible ordeal of conscience — and that it is not just his ordeal, but indeed the entire nation's.

I will not pay my income tax if we go to war with Iran. I realize this is a desperate and perhaps futile gesture. But an attack on Iran—which appears increasingly likely before the coming presidential election—will unleash a regional conflict of catastrophic proportions. This war, and especially Iranian retaliatory strikes on American targets, will be used to silence domestic dissent and abolish what is left of our civil liberties. It will solidify the slow-motion coup d'etat that has been under way since the 9/11 attacks. It could mean the death of the Republic.
...
I will put the taxes I owe in an escrow account. I will go to court to challenge the legality of the war. Maybe a courageous judge will rule that the Constitution has been usurped and the government is guilty of what the postwar Nuremberg tribunal defined as a criminal war of aggression. Maybe not. I do not know. But I do know this: I have friends in Tehran, Gaza, Beirut, Baghdad, Jerusalem and Cairo. They will endure far greater suffering and deprivation. I want to be able, once the slaughter is over, to at least earn the right to ask for their forgiveness.

Who is Chris Hedges? Not only was he a New York Times reporter for 15 years, he was its Middle East bureau chief in the 1990's. Yikes.

4 No Trump

Morons...reminds me of the Dixie Twits. Why don't we invalidate their passports so they can stay in China where it's nice and cozy for them? And look at these losers...we couldn't have an uglier team representing the US.

“I earn my living from bridge, and a substantial part of that from being hired to compete in high-level competitions,” Debbie Rosenberg, a team member, said. “So being barred would directly affect much of my ability to earn a living.”

Shoulda thought of that sooner, dumbass.

If HRC is elected, the Republic will FALL

After a press conference in Waterloo, IA yesterday, HRC thought about what it would be like to be president.

I fear this possibility. Fortunately, our nation's flag gave us a grave warning here.

What I find incredible is that she did not try to save the flag from touching the ground, as we were all taught in grade school. She simply pointed and said, "Oh, look". Can't we impeach her out of the Senate?

You know, it's time that the TIMES realizes that the commies have been defeated...and needed to be beaten. They are pining for the days of FDR and JFK. Well, I say, NFW!

Check out this article in the NY TIMES today.

A sample of the foolishness:

In less than seven years, Mr. Bush has managed to boil that list down to its least common denominator: the president should get his choices. At first, Mr. Bush was abetted by a slavish Republican majority that balked at only one major appointment — Harriet Miers for Supreme Court justice, and then only because of doubts that she was far enough to the right.

Well, no. They balked at Miers because she wasn't QUALIFIED for the job...not because she was not "far enough to the right".

We need to waterboard a few of the TIMES folks.

Condi for President

Sigh...everyone is wringing hands over the latest in Pakistan.

Why is this such a hard choice? Let Condi be President of Pakistan.

YES OR NO TO ILLEGAL DRIVER'S LICENSES?

Did you know that states must allow folks to register to vote when they get their driver's license? Hmmm? Well, what do you think is going to happen when illegal aliens are allowed to get a driver's license? Hint: THEY'LL REGISTER TO VOTE!

Why in the world do we want to open up voter registration to more fraud? Don't we have enough problems with dogs, cats, and dead folks registering to vote?

Answer the freaking question, witch.

HILLARY IS A TRAITOR

Put her ass in jail NOW. She just said this in the debate:

Hillary: "We have to try diplomacy. I see economic sanctions as part of diplomacy." Cites North Korea and Libya again. "He does not have authority, and we will not allow him to take offensive action against Iran."

I think Ahmadinejad just stood and applauded. (H/T Campaign Spot)

If this isn't "aid and comfort to the enemy", nothing is. I'm serious...put her ass against a wall and shoot her for treason. Ok, ok, after a fair trial.

LIEUTENANT MICHAEL P. MURPHY
UNITED STATES NAVY

FOR SERVICE AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING

CITATION:

FOR CONSPICUOUS GALLANTRY AND INTREPIDITY AT THE RISK OF HIS LIFE ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY AS THE LEADER OF A SPECIAL RECONNAISSANCE ELEMENT WITH NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE TASK UNIT AFGHANISTAN ON 27 AND 28 JUNE 2005. WHILE LEADING A MISSION TO LOCATE A HIGH-LEVEL ANTI-COALITION MILITIA LEADER, LIEUTENANT MURPHY DEMONSTRATED EXTRAORDINARY HEROISM IN THE FACE OF GRAVE DANGER IN THE VICINITY OF ASADABAD, KONAR PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN. ON 28 JUNE 2005, OPERATING IN AN EXTREMELY RUGGED ENEMY-CONTROLLED AREA, LIEUTENANT MURPHY’S TEAM WAS DISCOVERED BY ANTI-COALITION MILITIA SYMPATHIZERS, WHO REVEALED THEIR POSITION TO TALIBAN FIGHTERS. AS A RESULT, BETWEEN 30 AND 40 ENEMY FIGHTERS BESIEGED HIS FOUR-MEMBER TEAM. DEMONSTRATING EXCEPTIONAL RESOLVE, LIEUTENANT MURPHY VALIANTLY LED HIS MEN IN ENGAGING THE LARGE ENEMY FORCE. THE ENSUING FIERCE FIREFIGHT RESULTED IN NUMEROUS ENEMY CASUALTIES, AS WELL AS THE WOUNDING OF ALL FOUR MEMBERS OF THE TEAM. IGNORING HIS OWN WOUNDS AND DEMONSTRATING EXCEPTIONAL COMPOSURE, LIEUTENANT MURPHY CONTINUED TO LEAD AND ENCOURAGE HIS MEN. WHEN THE PRIMARY COMMUNICATOR FELL MORTALLY WOUNDED, LIEUTENANT MURPHY REPEATEDLY ATTEMPTED TO CALL FOR ASSISTANCE FOR HIS BELEAGUERED TEAMMATES. REALIZING THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF COMMUNICATING IN THE EXTREME TERRAIN, AND IN THE FACE OF ALMOST CERTAIN DEATH, HE FOUGHT HIS WAY INTO OPEN TERRAIN TO GAIN A BETTER POSITION TO TRANSMIT A CALL. THIS DELIBERATE, HEROIC ACT DEPRIVED HIM OF COVER, EXPOSING HIM TO DIRECT ENEMY FIRE. FINALLY ACHIEVING CONTACT WITH HIS HEADQUARTERS, LIEUTENANT MURPHY MAINTAINED HIS EXPOSED POSITION WHILE HE PROVIDED HIS LOCATION AND REQUESTED IMMEDIATE SUPPORT FOR HIS TEAM. IN HIS FINAL ACT OF BRAVERY, HE CONTINUED TO ENGAGE THE ENEMY UNTIL HE WAS MORTALLY WOUNDED, GALLANTLY GIVING HIS LIFE FOR HIS COUNTRY AND FOR THE CAUSE OF FREEDOM. BY HIS SELFLESS LEADERSHIP, COURAGEOUS ACTIONS, AND EXTRAORDINARY DEVOTION TO DUTY, LIEUTENANT MURPHY REFLECTED GREAT CREDIT UPON HIMSELF AND UPHELD THE HIGHEST TRADITIONS OF THE UNITED STATES NAVAL SERVICE.

President Bush as Saddam

Are you freaking kidding me? This is as bad as the Moveon.dumbass ad.

When will the American people say, "Enough is enough"? Let's hope that message is delivered loudly and clearly on election day. What do you want to bet the Demonuts won't condemn this ad, either?

USMC Rules for Gunfighting

Can't argue with any of these...(no disrespect to the Navy).

USMC Rules for Gunfighting

1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.

2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Your life is expensive.

3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough nor using cover correctly.

5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)

6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.

7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.

9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun.

9.5 Use a gun that works EVERY TIME.

10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

12. Have a plan.

13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.

14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.

15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.

16. Don't drop your guard.

17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.

18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them).

19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.

20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.

23. Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

24. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a ".4"

1. Go to Sea

2. Send the Marines

Speak for yourself, Imbecile

Here's Harry Reid, as quoted today by the AP:

WASHINGTON — Senate Democratic leaders on Wednesday rejected the call by the top U.S. general in Iraq for a reduction of up to 30,000 U.S. troops in Iraq by next summer, saying it does not go far enough.

"This is unacceptable to me, it's unacceptable to the American people," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

Speak for yourself, you moron. It is perfectly acceptable to me...and I AM the American people.

Imbecile.

Clinton funding Hsu's defense?

I have had two conspiracy ideas in as many days, so I've used up my lifetime quota.

First, is the Chinese government trying to influence the Presidential election? Since so many investigators are pouring over Hsu's finances, and are (so far) unable to explain the source of Hsu's money, there's a fair amount of speculation that the Chinese government is funding him and has now tossed him to the wolves.

Second conspiracy thought: Hillary first announced that she was donating $23,000 of Hsu's contributions to charity. Now comes the headline:

Clinton to Return $850,000 in Donations Raised By Norman Hsu

Notice that Hillary isn't donating the money to charity...she's returning it. Is this a not-so-subtle way for her to fund Hsu's bail money? Why did she not donate this large sum to charity? Hmmm?

Ok, Hsu's not likely to even be offered bail after forfeiting the $2 million when he skipped town. But why are the Clintons sending this money back instead of donating it? Is this the start of the Hsu Defense Fund?

I'm not big on conspiracy theories (I grew up near the Grassy Knoll, and it ain't a sniper's platform). But...this one smells like the Clinton's are being too clever by half. And if you don't think Billy Boy is neck deep in this one, I've got a bridge for you...
