USS Fife

The Commander has never laughed so hard. THERE IS JUSTICE.

The USS Fife - the Commander's first Naval assignment - was a notably unreliable ship with a distinctly dysfunctional commanding officer who displayed astonishing indifference to leadership development. The combination drove many highly capable junior officers out of the Navy - precisely the kind of officers the Navy desparately needed.

The Navy decommissioned the ship in 2005. THEN SUNK HER.

APEC

The American Oil-Exploitation Congress (APEC) is so busy dodging the fuel/energy issue it can't be bothered to realize that our dependence on middle-eastern oil is a serious threat to national security. Any whim of the non-western world to screw around with our economy by diddling the oil price cannot be resisted. And yet we sit on the largest reserves on the globe. Doing nothing - by order of our federal policy makers.

The solution is blindingly obvious, yet in a movement of sudden mass stupidity, Congress fails to take any meaningful action at all.

SCOTUS

Note to clear thinkers everywhere: If the Democrats had appointed just one more Justice to the U.S. Supreme Court, there would be no judicial recognition of your individual right to possess firearms in the United States of America and the march of tyranny would be empowered.

Obama

Barack Obama keeps making lackadaisical attempts to show support for Israel (which cost him his Hamas endorsement!)

Yet Israel hating socialists like George Galloway still see him as the clear choice. So do a lot of interesting people: Ayers. Pfleger. Wright. Ortega. Chavez. El-Hady. Castro. Khalidi. FARC.

What is there that draws terrorists, Communists, Jew-bashers, thugs, lugs, dregs, gunslingers, hustlers, rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, conmen, and Methodists to Obama’s campaign like flies to an oyster bar’s dumpster in August? - Michelle Malkin

The DC SS

They claim to be searching for guns in suspicious vehicles because the driver might be headed into the area to do a crime. An educated and reflective individual, better aware of history and the world around him than the average mass media reporter, understands that the Second Amendment was drafted specifically to discourage authoritarian ambition within the government. By now, he also understands that expressions like "assault weapon" are authoritarian code for the hardware which best meets that specification.

Oil Prices

As oil prices continue to rise, has anyone else noticed that Congress is acting like a domestic OPEC?

Aussie Debacle

ABC - the Australian Broadcasting Company - has crossed the line into enviro-wackoism.

Their new video game on line explains to kids that they should die at 9 to avoid using more than their fair share of the planet's resrouces. This is beyond science, beyond decency, and beyond rational thought.

Asusual, the duty of the citizen is to complain loudly and incessantly.

See what happens when you cave in to creeping rabbit-isma nd allow the government to entice you to give up your weapons?

The cult of death marches on...
