Worth the time…
For those who’ve never been in, kids throughout the world have always known American servicemen are suckers, and always have candy…
Even today, downrange Americans are still giving candy away to the kids… We’ve sent a LOT of 2 lb bags of Starbright Mints with every care package that went downrange…

I’m tired of nothing but ‘bad’ news, and y’all probably are too, so some humor with a ‘twist’… 🙂
You need to be able to remember the era to really enjoy this.
It was a hot Saturday evening in the summer of 1958 and Fred had a date with Peggy Sue.
He arrived at her house and rang the bell.
“Oh, come on in!” Peggy Sue’s mother said as she welcomed Fred in. “So, what are you and Peggy planning to do tonight?” she asked.
“Oh, probably catch a movie, and then maybe grab a bite to eat at the malt shop, maybe take a walk on the beach.”
“Peggy likes to screw, you know,” Mom informed him.
“Uh…really?” Fred replied, with raised eyebrows. “Is that so?” asked Fred, incredulous.
“Yes,” said the mother. “As a matter of fact, she’d screw all night if we let her!”
“Well, thanks for the tip,” Fred said as he began thinking about alternate plans for the evening.
“Have fun, kids,” the mother said as they left.
Half an hour later, a completely disheveled Peggy Sue burst into the house and slammed the front door behind her.
“The TWIST, Mom!” she angrily yelled at her mother.
“THE DAMN DANCE IS CALLED THE TWIST!!!”
And remember, TGIF!!!
This guy is even worse than  Debo Adegbile who was blocked yesterday…
This is the next nomination that needs to be stopped…
Anti-gun doctor Vivek Murthy to be Surgeon General of the United States.
Like most of Obama’s nominees, Murthy’s primary “credential” is his rabid support for Barack Obama during the presidential election. As such, the office of Surgeon General — once an honor given to physicians who have distinguished themselves in their field — has now become nothing more than electoral “payback” to a political hack.
After the shooting in Newtown, Murthy’s group authored an open letter to Obama that urged restrictions on gun rights in the name of the medical profession, stating:
It’s time for common sense gun rules like background checks and banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, as well as a comprehensive plan to address gun violence including ensuring funding for research and data-collection on gun violence and ensuring that health care providers can ask patients about gun ownership in order to counsel them appropriately about safety measures.”
This IS NOT the person we need as surgeon general of the US, if you value your 2A rights…
The scary part is BO ‘may’ just do recess appointments of both of them… sigh
I know I’m stepping into Borepatch’s world here, but I’ve gotta put this one up.
This little lady with a BIG jazz voice is one of my high school classmates…
She’s done pretty damn well for a little country girl…
Sorry BP… 🙂
Sorry about that, apparently WordPress decided NOT to put this up on time, and of course I’ve been in meetings all day… dammit…
Tom Philpott has been pretty much the ‘go to’ reporter for in-depth reporting on what is happening with military and budgeting for a long time…
This is from his latest article and mirrors the ‘rumors’ I’ve been hearing- e.g. they’re not going to ‘cancel’ Tricare, they’re going to ‘reformat’ it…
The triple-option TRICARE program of Prime, Extra and Standard would be merged into some sort of fee-for-service insurance option, like Standard, for beneficiaries under age 65.
While active duty members still would have access to free health care, dependents and working-age retirees would face higher costs to include a share of medical expenses and perhaps a new annual enrollment fee, set initially at $285 for individuals and $569 for families.
Patient costs would be lower if they can access military treatment facilities or use “preferred” providers who offer military discounts. New co-pays would be set for retiree visits to military treatment facilities. Co-pays also would be set for military families and retirees who use emergency rooms inappropriately for routine care.

74% Â on east coast want gin GUNÂ registration (according to a new poll). Â Emily Miller catches another one of the left leaning sets out…
The survey released Tuesday was done jointly by Roanoke College in Virginia, Rutgers-Eagleton in New Jersey and Siena College in New York. It shows that 68 percent of New York voters and a whopping 74 percent of New Jersey voters are in favor of establishing a national gun registry.

Remember…
That’s what I get for trying to type one and post it quickly… sigh
And thanks to Paw HERE is CT Carry’s response to the State.
It ‘does’ appear they ARE pushing outright bans, and making felons as they go…
Emily Miller has a great article about the lengths they are going to…
Thus, the experts found that at least 43 common rifles would suddenly be considered a prohibited “assault firearm,” such as the .22 caliber Marlin Model 60, Remington Nylon 66 and Winchester 190. Just having one such gun would turn a law-abiding owner into a felon overnight… Even worse, the bill has no grandfather clause and no amnesty period. So as soon as this legislation becomes law, everyone in possession of these rifles is automatically a felon and the guns are subject to seizure by the government.Â

In other news, it appears a pregnant woman IN LABOR was held up at gunpoint by two would be robbers in Annapolis, MD over the weekend… sigh…
If you live in one of these states, I’d say RUN away, quickly; while you still have your guns and haven’t been turned into a felon.
Red Bull’s flight teams are known for being ‘creative’ to put it mildly, but this is one I’ve never seen, and would NEVER have thought of even trying…
Two gliders, five human wings in formation…
No you weren’t seeing things, one of those gliders was inverted… 🙂
Kudos to Red Bull for one helluva show!!!
