Are you at risk?
Department of Veterans Affairs officials today announced the theft of personal information on up to 26.5 million veterans. Veterans Affairs Secretary R. James Nicholson stressed that there is no indication the information is being used for purposes of fraud. If you think you or someone you know may be affected, you can learn more about …
Jack Murtha, USMC (Ret), Traitor (active)
The Arab/islamic media is eating this shit up… one of our own providing more aid and comfort to the enemy. Thanks, Jack(ass) – give the fanatics more justification for attacking our men. Salon.com News | Murtha: Marines killed civilians “in cold blood” “Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them, and they killed innocent …

TSA shows their support for our troops
(Scroll down for an update to this story) The TSA is so screwed up, they don’t know a potential terrorist from a US Marine. Yeah, they should be checking everyone. Yeah, the Marines understand the routine and respect the need for security. My biggest question here is, why aren’t there procedures to get these men …
Project Completion!
They’re done, to be presented tomorrow. I’m mostly satisfied considering the constraints (time and level of detail requested). Wish I was able to do more with the finish on the shadow box, and hadn’t needed to “make it up as I went along” as much as I did. Comments welcome!
Keeping Busy
I haven’t been writing much, but I haven’t been wasting my time, either… here are a few samples of what I’ve been up to: This plaque was a quickie, made for a Marine leaving the command. His section purchased an NCO sword, and I made this plaque for them to display it. This officer’s sword …
May First, 2006 – Illegal Immigrant’s Protest Day
So the illegal immigration supporters want all immigrants to boycott work on May 1st. That doesn’t make much sense to me, but I guess the idea is to get as many people on board their cause as possible. Recent polls have shown a waning support for this effort among the immigrant population. Good for them. …

Some NC college students demonstrate their support for our military
This sort of thing, when it happens on the left coast in places like Seattle, or San Francisco, it’s generally passed off as the desperate gasp of some dying hippie mentality. When it happens in North Carolina, it just makes me want to kick some punk’s ass. So how does North Carolina, home to some …

Morons in space
A fine demonstration of the ignorance of religious “rites” that otherwise modern people are forced to adhere to because of their beliefs. How do superstitious* muslims deal with the obvious discrepanies between the demands of their “faith” and the reality of space travel? This should be fun to watch pan out. Conference on how to …
Happy Birthday to me!
I am not only another year older today, I’m another decade older. Funny, I don’t feel older, in fact, I feel younger than I remember feeling a decade ago. Could have something to do with the lighter level of responsibility on me since retiring from active duty. To celebrate, I uploaded a picture of myself …
Comedy Central Caves
I watched the episode last night, and I actually believed it was a South Park prank… turns out it was Comedy Central caving in to the fear of islamic violence. Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion. When this nation figures that lesson out, maybe we can stop burying our heads in the sand. …
A Message from Dan
I’ve never read Dan Simmons, but after reading this little creative essay, I want to find more of his work. It’s well worth the time to click over and glimpse a grim future we seem ill prepared to face. Dan Simmons – Author’s Official Web Site The Time Traveler appeared suddenly in my study on …
When is a bitch, just a bitch?
Here’s one: McKinney Case Goes to Federal Prosecutor McKinney, 51, scuffled with a police officer on March 29 when she entered a House office building without her identifying lapel pin and did not stop when asked. Several police sources said the officer, who was not identified, asked her three times to stop. When she kept …
