Maybe Giving Drone Operators Awards Isn’t SO Bad After All…

Check this out checker outers…

In an article from the Dayton Daily News, we find out that an Air National Guard Chaplain has been awarded the Bronze Star…for a powerpoint presentation.

Nothing To See Here, Move Along…

From the Jawa Report

Yeah, like Barry said “they are on the run.”

The Academy Awards: Live! Open! Blog! Thread!

It’s time to play the music/it’s time to light the lights…

Tootsie is on TCM; the second Doctor Who special (about the 2nd Dr Who) is on BBCAmerica; Desperately Seeking Susan is on LOGO; and this week’s General Hospital episodes are screening on SoapNet.  These are all things I would rather be watching.

There’s Free Speech and then there’s this…

Lindsey Stone

Meet Lindsey Stone. She posted this picture taken on a work trip to Washington DC as an example of her questioning authority and being a rebel. I have since seen it reposted many times on Facebook with all sorts of suggestions about what should be done with Ms. Stone. This is without [...]

Mourning the Loss

I just watched Mitt Romney deliver his concession speech, and it was typical of the man: gracious, elegant, forgiving, wise.

Wow, have I come to respect and admire and, dare I say, love my party’s nominee.  He was never my choice, but the more I learned about him, the more convinced I became that [...]

It’s Her Prerogative

Well, the Houston/Brown children certainly are the future. Here’s a new edition of an old issue.

The late Whitney Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina, says she’s engaged to her “adopted brother,” Nick Gordon, in a shocking clip from Lifetime’s upcoming reality show, “The Houstons: On Our Own.”

“We’re engaged,” a giggling Bobbi says in [...]

I Guess This Is Why We Are STILL (to this day actually) Shipping Them F-16 Fighter Jets

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says the U.S. would not consider Egypt an ally, “but we don’t consider them an enemy.”

President Wile E. Obama, SUPER genius strikes again.

Simply Disgusting

Having served in the military for a small bit of time, I understand the need to construct scenarios and think about things that may be otherwise unthinkable, but THIS is beyond the pale.

The Scenario (2016)

The Great Recession of the early twenty-first century lasts far longer than anyone anticipated. After a change in [...]

People Ask…

Folks have asked me since I retired from the Army if I miss it. The answer is I miss certain things. Things like this…

From the The Wall Street Journal comes this:

WASHINGTON—In a Pentagon hallway hung an austere portrait of a Navy man lost at sea in 1908, with his brass buttons, blue-knit [...]

This would be funny if it weren’t so serious and true…

Unaware that a microphone was recording him, President Obama asked outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev Monday for breathing room until after Mr. Obama’s re-election campaign to negotiate on missile defense.

“On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this [...]

They Should Have Named It George

This is unfortunate… and hilarious — I mean sad… real sad. If you’re still lurking “no on in particular” this photographer should be drawn and quartered.

An earless baby bunny that was a rising star on Germany’s celebrity animal scene had his 15 minutes of fame brought to an abrupt end when he was [...]

All I Wanta Do Is Have Some Fun…

If you live in LA County don’t throw a Frisbee or a football on the beach, unless you’ve got $1000 you don’t need.

Mother Issues

Life imitates art…

A Tucson, Ariz., man was arrested after a foul odor led police to discover he had been living with his mother’s decomposing corpse.

“The person was found in a bathtub, I believe, and may have either been bound or was found in some circumstance [for police] to believe she may not [...]

Maybe if we Wish Real, REAL Hard…

How stupid is the bureaucratic beast? This stupid: the EPA is fining oil companies $6.8 million for not adding cellulosic ethanol to gasoline as REQUIRED BY LAW! The punch line? Cellulosic ethanol doesn’t actually exist.

This all stems from the inaccurately named “Energy Security and Independence Act of 2007” which mandates the use of [...]

Dear LA Times: W Magazine = Also Racist?

Remember the recent flap over the Michelle Obama-as-Marie Antoinette? via the LA Times:

The caricature of Obama as a profligate queen relies on the racist stereotype of an “uppity Negro,” which emerged among slave masters in an earlier American era. Obama, born into a working-class Chicago family whose roots are traced to the pre-Civil War [...]

Myocardial Infraction

Ay caramba! Mexican medics are drawing catcalls after they dropped a heart being rushed to a hospital for a transplant.

Mexico City police say they used a helicopter to deliver the heart in “a rapid, precision maneuver.” But after exiting the chopper, a medic stumbled and the plastic-wrapped heart tumbled out of a cooler onto [...]

This kind of sneaked by a lot of people…

I am NOT my brother’s keeper:

A South Carolina man’s brother died after police said he was forced to eat cocaine hidden in his brother’s backside.

Both brothers were taken into custody on allegations they had drugs in their car.

I Guess It All Depends On What You Consider The Workplace

For thsoe of you who didn’t see this last week…one of the most absolutely stupid and politically corrrect pronouncements that has ever come out of Washington.
