No, this isn’t a picture describing Obama’s military budget cuts. I took this picture today here at Ft. Hood because of the absurdity of it! This Soldier is cutting the grass WITH A KEVLAR ON!! Is the Army afraid that … Continue reading

I originally wrote this for my blog, but then decided that perhaps it’s information that I can better encourage debate on here. Yesterday, the local morning conservative talk show host brought up a question about the status of veterans. He … Continue reading

The above cartoon describes the state of this holiday pretty damn good. While many of us take the time to remember the sacrifices of our heroes many others ignore it and party hard due to the 3 day weekend. We must remind those people that this day was proclaimed a day to remember. Remembering those who have fallen and those who are still serving: Continue reading

In November of 2007, the British author Christopher Hitchens wrote a nonfiction piece for Vanity Fair titled “A Death in the Family.” If you haven’t read it, I suggest that you do. New York University’s esteemed journalism school nominated it as one of the decade’s top 80 works of journalism. It’s about the death of a young lieutenant in Iraq, and the resulting effects on his family, his community, and the author. The lieutenant’s name was Mark Daily, a 2005 graduate of U.C.L.A., and he was my friend.

I was at a loss for something appropriate to write for this special day. I know many sad stories that will go to the grave with me. Don’t misread that line. I am not a hero, but many heroes came to me to talk. I mainly listened. I am an excellent listener. Hopefully, I helped some of them by listening and offering a few lame words of encouragement.

I wish I could do more than saying thanks and shaking hands, but that seems to be the best that I can manage for now.

The compassion and understanding of the Chief Liberal of the United States is awe inspiring. We have a woman, who is asking not for a new kitchen or for her mortgage and car payments to be paid, but simply to plead for the men who produced the intel that gave Obama the chance to be the BMOC (BIG Man On Campus) by killing the man responsible for her brother’s death and for the death of thousands of other Americans. And the Big Cheese turns his back on her for being so pretentious to challenge the omnipotent wisdom of the Holder/Obama Genius. In a more real world of true Authoritarian control, a less compassionate leader would have had her arrested and interrogated for doubting his omnipotence. Continue reading

The tip that led to the death of Osama Bin Laden came from a Gitmo detainee:
Sunday afternoon’s raid by U.S. forces that killed Osama bin Laden was the “culmination of years of careful and highly advanced intelligence work,” senior administration officials said in a conference call, describing the genesis of an operation that sounded like it was right out of a “Mission Impossible” movie.
