Congratulations!!! Welcome to the outside world... Greywar was hands down the best squad leader I ever had in the Army. Hands up too. In fact, it was he who's story of a pal learning Unix and getting a 90K job with Raytheon that inspired me to get where I am today. Thanks for your many years of service, your mentoring, and your comraderie... Not bad for a Minnesotan...
It's not a matter of drawing an arbitrary cutoff line of percentages. It's a matter of knowing that little old ladies are NOT who we're looking for, and that wasting our time searching them is counterproductive. As for taking power back from the feds... hahahahahahaha! That's going to take a few more constitutionalists on SCOTUS.
I don't know how many of you travel, but I do quite a bit. And I will tell you this... I profile the hell out of people, and every other private traveller does as well. We're not keeping our eyes open for Granny and her suspicious handbag. No Sir. We're watching those who are more likely to be possessed by the great Satan of modern Islamic fanaticism. (And the ho
"Force a minor to carry a pregnancy to term" ... I've never heard of someone being forced not to kill their children before. "Yes, your honor, I admit I forced Ms. Jones not to shoot her son, and I'm truly sorry. I apologize to Ms. Jones, her son, and to the state." As always this issue comes right down to the question of when human life begins. Once we can all agree on a definition, the debate will be over. For the record
I've had it. Enough of the fannying about. If the Islamic world can't reign in their extremists, to hell with them. Here's what we'd do if I were in charge: Today: Give Saudi Arabia 24 hour notice to evacuate Medina. Tomorrow: Level Medina, on a permanent sort of basis. (level it once a month in perpetuity). Issue statement that the next Terror attac
I guess I always figured it was the royal "We" ... Imagine the Queen of England saying "We will take the dog for a walk in our yard."
Wish I could be at *THAT* party!! Glad you're coming home!
Not to mention the enormous incentive that big business will now have to bribe Joe Shmoe on the local council. ... you know, the swing vote guy. Thanks, Supreme Court.
The Link New York Times indicates that 3.9 million customers' sensitive data was sent on unencrypted mainframe tapes. What were you thinking? <!-- Ju-Anchor-Footer-End
Link Not that I think or don't think this guy is guilty. I really have no opinion on that... What I DO want to discuss here, however, is the judges' thought that the presence of encryption software on someone's computer may be viewed as eviden
"...how come there are still homeless crack heads sucking dick for beer money behind cathedrals?" I'm guessing it's 'cause the ones who did this in FRONT of the cathedrals are now down at the police station. On a more serious note, I think it's a mistake to equate Cathedrals with Christianity. While they are certainly a very recognizable symbol of Christianity, a simple web search for inner city missions will reveal many christian org
Grey, How much longer 'til your out? Robbie, If I didn't know you were telling the truth, I'd simply suspect that you were being conceited with your "but then what would you expect!!" comment...
cricket.... cricket....
You're not re-enlisting, are you?
Apples, If you subscribe to moral equivalency of nations, then you're suceptible silly thoughts such as "Why is it alright for the US to have nuclear weapons while no one else should be allowed to?" The fact of the matter is that the US is a MORAL nation. We have a government that is of, by, and for the people... a people who are on the whole kind, generous, and compassionate. We do things like send our military on humanitarian rescue mission
I don't think EO/Sexual Harassment counts if she can't hear the comment. My apologies if I didn't make that part clear. He did, at least, wait until she was back in the building with the door closed (we were outside) before he made his comment. Still....
You're really not going to believe this story. I can hardly believe it myself, and I was sitting there. Now to be sure, my co-worker and I have a very fundamental personality conflict to begin with ('cause he's an ass) so I'm not likely to cut him alot of slack. But judge for yourselves. Here we are, staying at a military base for three weeks, working on a co
That weapon is SO cool... Way to go on the restoration Colangelo! And Greywar, keep up the story writing. My instinct is that your books would sell well.
God be Praised! I scored as Christianity. **** Content removed to avoid redundancy **** Christianity 88% Paganism 46% Judaism 42% Buddhism 38% Hinduism 25% Satanism 25% agnosticism 21% Islam 21% atheism 0% Man, talk about a leading question! She really wants you to decide right away, huh?

Oh the witty banter! Brings back the old times... That weapon is a beauty! So does it join the others in the unit's armoury, or do you get to take it home?
Please forgive me if I heard of this concept from someone else and have stolen it for myself. I really think I made it up myself, but with me, who knows? I've got a memory like a plastic seive. I built up more good Coffee-pot Karma today. Yes, I got to the coffee pot (actually we have carafes, but "coffee-carafe karma" just doesn't roll off the tongue), and
Not exactly sure why you get worked up about someone else's blog... I hate it too when someone's comments are disabled (like Hugh Hewitts), but seems like that's their perogative, and they'll just end up getting fewer readers. Are you really complaining about run-on paragraphs?
Ha ha ha. Doesn't everyone do that?
What? No Red Dwarf?
