Turn out the lights, the party’s over…

November 25, 1961 to November 4, 2012…

Just a few days short of 51 years…

And they are ‘literally’ turning out the lights.

Whatinthehellamitalkingabout???

The USS ENTERPRISE pulled into Norfolk yesterday ending the longest commissioned run of any US Navy ship other than the USS Constellation.

She was literally one of a kind, the only ship of her class ever built, and the first CV(N) for nuclear power.  For almost 51 years, 25 deployments; and thousands of days and nights of watches, and over one hundred thousand sailors, she’s been ‘manned’ by the watch.

Today they started shutting down the reactors for the final time.  Never again will the Big “E” sail under her own power, and she will officially be decomissioned in December…

Hand Salute!
Ready Two… 


Welcome home to the Officers, Men and Women of the Enterprise Strike Group.  Y’all done good, and you took her out with class.

 

I Voted…

Twas the Night Before Election…


T’was the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down

I, in my bathrobe,
With a cat in my lap,
Had cut off the TV,
Tired of political crap.

When all of a sudden,
There arose such a noise,
I peered out my window,
Saw Obama and his boys.

They had come for my wallet,
They wanted my pay,
To give to the others,
Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money,
And quick as a wink,
Jumped back on his bandwagon,
As I gagged in the stink.

He then rallied his henchmen,
Who were pulling his cart,
I could tell they were out,
To tear my country apart!

‘On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Reid, On Pelosi,
He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause,
And as they flew out of sight,
I heard him laugh at the nation,
Who wouldn’t stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think,
On this one final note, GET OUT AND VOTE !!!!

Author unknown…

H/T Bill

It’s Almost TIME!!!

Two more days…

This Flag
Or THIS Flag


The choice is yours…  Please go vote on Nov 6th if you haven’t already.

Just out of curiousity…

Has anybody seen ANYTHING on the burial of Ambassador Stevens???

I posed a question in a comment over at American Perspectives, and she didn’t find anything more than THIS.

So I started digging…I did Google, Bing, and a couple of others and got bupkus…

Nothing more than what Opus #6 found…

Kinda interesting that nothing has been put out. One would think that his being the first Ambassador killed in years, there would be a laying in state at the State Department (at least for a day), and then quite the turnout for the funeral…

But…

Crickets…

YGTBSM #249…

WTF is going on in NY/NJ???

Just heard that Alabama power line crews were turned away from multiple locations in NY/NJ because they were NOT UNION crews…

People are out of food, water, gas, it’s getting cold and help is being REFUSED, because the help is NON UNION???

And in other news, there is looting, dumpster diving for food, fights,  and whining about how ‘slowly’ help is coming because it’s NEW YAWK, that ‘can’t’ be happening there, they are better than everybody else!!!

And where’s FEMA??? 

Oh, and  one more question…

People need power to survive, and yet Bloomie has two LARGE generators running a TENT in Central Park for the NY Marathon, because THAT is more important???

Can’t Blame Bush for this one…

More on Sequestration…


BLUF, or Bottom Line Up Front as they say…

If Congress (NOT the administration) doesn’t do something, DOD and DOD contractors are screwed come January…

And I’d almost bet that the Senate WILL force this on the American military and the country…

Folks that I’ve talked to indicate the Navy will NOT be able to meet commitments world-wide, nor meet OPTEMPO/PERSTEMPO statutory requirements…

By Richard Sisk for DOD Buzz

In what was likely their last joint press briefing before the Nov. 6 elections, Panetta and Dempsey presented a wish list of what they want from the upcoming lame duck session of Congress after the election, with the main focus on avoiding sequestration that would devastate defense budgets and planning.

“When Congress returns to town after the election, there’s a great deal of critical work that needs to be done,” Panetta said.

Number one on the agenda is avoiding the mandatory cuts on Jan. 2 under  sequestration that could add another $500 billion in defense cuts – $55 billion next year alone – over the next 10 years on top of $487 billion in cuts already underway, Panetta said.

Pulling back from the “fiscal cliff” will “require Democrats and Republicans to work together,” Panetta said.

“I don’t know what I’m gonna’ get for 2013, much less 2014,” Panetta said, leaving him at a loss for planning the department’s future. “For me to put a strategy in place, I have to have some kind of stability,” Panetta said.

Panetta said he also requested the lame duck session pass a defense authorization bill and legislation to strengthen cyber security defenses.

He also called on the Senate to approve the nominations of Marine Gen. John Allen as the new head NATO commander, and Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford as the commander of international forces in Afghanistan.
