Lebanon -- In Vino Veritas?

I was very ... well, interested ... today when I saw the story about the world's largest wine glass. Sure, I like a glass of wine now and then. And a big ole glass of Chateau Margaux might have caused me to jump in and start drinking.

But...a story about cheap wine in Lebanon? LEBANON? Are you freaking kidding me?

We should have dropped a few JDAM's on these morons. I mean, don't we have more important things to deal with in Lebanon than a big glass of wine? Screw these people...bomb 'em back to the stone age.

JOBS? Obama wants to create JOBS in YEMEN?

Language alert:

Here's President F***stick on how to prevent terrorism in Yemen.



Yeah, right.

You wanna create jobs? Nuke the damn place, and hire a bunch of nuclear engineers to make new bombs. Then hire a bunch of unemployed bricklayers and cement workers to rebuild roads and buildings in Yemen. Make sure all the damn buildings have air conditioning, and I might even go there for vacation (with my favorite H&K by by my side).

Mark my words...this damn Obama is gonna get us blown up. And it gives me no pleasure in predicting that.

White Sheet or Burka?

Paul Krugman (referred to as Mr. Excrement in our house) writes in the NYTimes:

A note to Tea Party activists: This is not the movie you think it is. You probably imagine that you’re starring in “The Birth of a Nation,” but you’re actually just extras in a remake of “Citizen Kane.”

This is a reference to the Ku Klux Klan -- "The Birth of a Nation" depicts the Klan as the good guys. Despicable.

As bad as this is, it got a laugh out of THE BOSS. When I read that comment out loud to her, her immediate reaction was,

"If it's a choice between a white sheet or a burka, I'll take the sheet and accept being called a racist. Hell, Obama and the left already think I'm a racist because I won't bow to that b****** in the White House".

My wife -- I think I'll keep her.

Huh. I wonder...

I wonder whether Multicam would work better.

Don't get me wrong, I'm being a smart-ass, and it's not their choice of pattern.

What's the Gun For, Anyway?

There's a serious point here. I'm in Wisconsin, one of only 2 states that does not allow concealed carry (care to guess the other one?*). So if I'm minding my own business, having a coffee at Barnes & Noble, and a nutjob jihadi comes in with a gun and starts shooting the place up, how am I supposed to stop him? Throw a copy of Rules for Radicals at him? At least in Texas, we had Concealed Carry Permits and bad guys could be met with lead poisoning. Just how in the hell does Russ Feingold expect me to protect THE BOSS in a case like this?

Sigh. At least Feingold will be gone after the November elections.



Sorry, don't recall where I got this.
If you know, leave a comment and I'll attribute.

The young man got to jump with the US Army Golden Knights 2 weeks ago. I still think he's nuts, but hey, guess he takes after his mom and not me. Just kidding, dear.

Great air guitar there, youngster. You waited your whole life for that pic. Hehe.

Bob Beckel...class idiot

I never have liked him, but I usually wanted to hear what he said, mainly because we could learn what the Democraps were thinking. No more.

He actually said that at some point, "we are gonna have to get over 9/11". Really.said.it.



I would like to punch his fat ass if I am ever within arm's reach of him.

WTF is David Cameron Smoking?

British Prime Minister Cameron said this in Turkey:

I know that Gaza has led to real strains in Turkey ’s relationship with Israel. But Turkey is a friend of Israel. And I urge Turkey, and Israel, not to give up on that friendship. Let me be clear. The Israeli attack on the Gaza flotilla was completely unacceptable. And I have told PM Netanyahu, we will expect the Israeli inquiry to be swift, transparent and rigorous. Let me also be clear that the situation in Gaza has to change. Humanitarian goods and people must flow in both directions. Gaza cannot and must not be allowed to remain a prison camp. But as, hopefully, we move in the coming weeks to direct talks between Israel and the Palestinians so it’s Turkey that can make the case for peace and Turkey that can help to press the parties to come together, and point the way to a just and viable solution. (Emphasis mine.)

Uh-huh. What a moron.

How would he like it if Reagan had said, "The attack on the Falklands by British forces was completely unacceptable"?

This guy is a doofus.

New USAF Trainer - Nostalgia Alert

Saw this article by Steve Trimble over at The DEW Line.



The Air Force is looking to replace the T-38 Talon as their main training jet. I have fond memories of this aircraft - not because I flew it, but because we spent so many hours watching them do touch-and-gos. Primary training in the T-38 is done at Randolph AFB in San Antonio. There is also an auxiliary landing strip in Seguin, TX, 22.8 miles east of Randolph. We used to float in the Guadalupe River at the end of the runway in Seguin (home of the World's Largest Pecan), drink beer, and watch these guys (no gals back then -- this was the 70's) do touch-and-gos. Nothing finer than drinking beer and breathing JP4 as it's poured out of the afterburner of a T-38.

Ah, takes me back. The old man would be proud. Course, he never flew T-38's. Props and T-33's.
