Good morning.

Anybody buy one of those Infinity Razors yet?

How long were the Palestinians in the Sinai before the Egyptian authorities found themselves pinned down chasing groups of terrorists every day?

Krauthammer really nails it on Bill Clinton.

So the fuckin’ groundhog just saw his shadow…

So much for the Infinity Razor. They make a good commercial, though.
There’s nothing new about the two retarded suicide bombers. We had a retarded kid, about 12, roll up on a post at OP Horea in Ramadi. He was a familiar face, so whoever put him up to it hoped we’d let him roll up all the way. After full escalation of force, he was shot to death. EOD found the chair full of explosives, ready to blow.
1:30 PM
What’s the news?
2:55 PM
Super Tuesday is also Mardi Gras…

Would McCain have had the guts to go into Iraq in the first place?

Good game.
6:52 PM
Un-frickin-believable catch.
6:53 P.M.
Can somebody protect this kid?
6:59 P.M.
Wow. Just wow. Very fitting, the Brady sack at 19 seconds. Symbolic-wise.

February 2nd, 2008 at 5:42 amPat,
It is interesting that you mention groundhogs…my last ex-girlfriend was slightly obsessed with Puxatony Phil (you know, that wack assed groundhog in Pennsylvania). It got to the point that when we went on a vacation, and we had take a 3 hour detour to stop in the town to see the “stump” the locals put him in…not very exciting if you ask me.
In fact there is no point to this story other than this girl later dumped me for global warming….
Yes, I said it…. I was dumped for global warming. (Or the idea that I do NOT believe in man made global warming propaganda and refuse to believe the hype, and she then refused to date me…)
If you want to hear an arduous story…just ask and I’ll tell you the fun details.
And who else can say that they’ve been dumped for “global warming”? I always laugh at the absurdity of it…
Sometimes there is no point to my ramblings, but at least you can chuckle about the strange stories of your dedicated fans…

February 2nd, 2008 at 8:30 amNo shadow here today, but it is very pretty with the thick blanket of snow that got dumped yesterday. I always figure that if we ONLY get 6 more weeks of winter we’re lucky!
There was also a case a few years ago of a “challenged” Palestinian boy who was strapped up in a suicide vest but was caught and disarmed at one of those checkpoints Rice and Bush insist are so “unfair”.
February 2nd, 2008 at 9:13 amPit Bull -
I laughed at your story. Thanks for sharing! I think you are actually better off without her.

I don’t know WHY the hell somebody doesn’t shoot that fuckin’ fat-assed rat. SIX MORE WEEKS of winter? No shit! Check the calendar … Hey, Phil … How long until Cinco de Mayo?
Yeah, how about giving me the winning Mega Millions numbers … Now THAT would be a feat for an ornery backwoods rodent.
Come on, Pit Bull … You and me. Road trip to Puxatony. Bring your gun. We’ll get those winning lottery numbers out of the fat bastard if it’s the last thing his squeaking squealing ass does. Heh!
February 2nd, 2008 at 9:51 amTexas Mom,
You are absolutely right; I am 1,000 better off without her. It is ironic that I seem to pick the closet leftists…in the beginning they agree with me, and then later…LOL! It’s just one funnier story to add to my strange collection. You should have seen fireworks fly whenever the conversations approached politics…I am much happier being single, though I wish that I saved that money from that vacation rather than spend it with that woman.

Well if we are to go hunting, which gun do you want me to bring?
The M4?
The Shotguns?
The pistols (for that challenging edge to groundhog hunting)?
Yes, somehow basing the future weather report on a strange animal in Pennsylvania is about as asinine as stating that we all need to switch our light bulbs to “eco-friendly” green units before Florida is reclaimed by the ocean next year…or in 10 years, or 100, or 10,000 or whatever it is their estimating (not that they have definitive proof on their insane theories).

Bring `em all … I have a feeling it’ll take a hell of a lot to drop that hairy pig … And we burn the stump too, so’s they can’t move another one in there.
February 2nd, 2008 at 11:03 am@drillanwr
Sounds like a plan…
Perhaps we can bring baseball bats to smash the numerous statutes placed around the town…
Sounds like a fun weekend! We’ll get lots of great exercise!

LMAO!
In the immortal words of Carl Spackler:
“I have to laugh, because I’ve outsmarted even myself. My enemy, my foe, is an animal. In order to conquer the animal, I have to learn to think like an animal. And, whenever possible, to look like one. I got to get into this dude’s pelt and crawl around for a few days … To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They’re like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that’s all she wrote …”
Oh, it’s on …
What do you say, Kurt … You want in on this mission?
February 2nd, 2008 at 12:48 pmAs a member of The Sons of the American Revolution, with a strong and proud military family, I feel Our government has been playing games with our veterans ever since the Oneida Indian Nation fought in the Revolutionary War. They were among our first American Solders and took up arms against the British to help our nation earn its independence after our Revolution. Our new government used land seized from the British to compensate our veterans and the Oneida veterans were stripped of much of their original territory, by having 10 million acres of land taken from them. Look how they have been treated by an ungrateful country.
Then the Civil War produced thousands of wandering veterans. Frequently addicted to opiates, they were known as tramps,Our first homeless vets, searching for jobs and, in many cases, literally still tending their wounds.
More than a decade after the end of World War I, the Bonus Army descended on Washington - demanding immediate payment on benefits that had been promised to them, but payable years later ,and were routed out of Washington DC by the U.S. Military,led by George Patton. In 1946,The to end all wars, the VA had beds for about 82,000 patients but the VA rolls swelled to 15 million in just a few months and the hospitals were virtually all swamped. There were 26,000 non service related cases also on the waiting list. The VA was building new hospitals but had money for only 12,000 more beds. They came too few too late. The Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1952, called the Korean GI Bill, provided unemployment insurance, job placement, home loans and mustering-out benefits similar to those offered World War II veterans. The Korean GI Bill made several changes, however, in education benefits, reducing financial benefits generally and imposing new restrictions. The effect of the changes was that the benefit no longer completely covered the cost of the veteran’s education.
The most publicly and perhaps most painfully,That comes to mind was Vietnam Tens of thousands of war weary veterans, infamously rejected,crazy, or just forgotten by many of their own fellow citizens,elected officials,demonized by the media.
Presently our current service members have who have had repeated and extended deployments to war zones, have shown a rise in post-traumatic stress and other war-related wounds among troops,and 120 Suicides a week. While it is good to support your troops that are serving our interest it is better to demand accountability from those responsible for the lack of their care in these injuries. It is utterly disgusting that VA hospitals are turning away those most in need. Those in charge of VA hospitals need to take responsibility for their lack of actions. I believe the whole VA system needs an overhaul and very soon. More and more wounded troops coming home and they need both physical and mental health care.
Our troops deserve the best of all aspects of care! Wake up, America! We fail to take care of our own as we should and I think it’s time that we start.
This will surprise nobody who has ever encountered the VA medical system. The entire operation is a horror show mostly run by lazy, self-important, arrogant and self-satisfied bureaucrats. This kind of treatment has been going on for years and years and years. VA hospitals are in hopeless situations. This type of treatment is the rule and not the exception for those who are closely associated with regular active duty military. It’s sad, but true.
If certain services cannot be provided for a veteran or current military patients then they are suppose to be referred to a civilian facility with no cost to the service member or veterans. Many of our own are going without and this shouldn’t be a surprise for the VA system when it comes to treating any new service related conditions by Ignorring it’ In this situation, the Iraq veteran is in the same boat as the Vietnam veteran in the 1970’s. At least now, they have a name for it,It’s called PTSD, and like Agent Orange has been proven,So well depleted uranium be proven but the VA doesn’t take it seriously tell a very large group of veterans die from their exposure.
It’s terrible that our country is still ignoring the cries of our vets. It’s no surprise what is happening with the Syracuse Veterans Hospital if similar acts are occurring around the country. I’ve have made many attempts in the last four years to talk with Mr. Cody, the head of the VA hospital in Syracuse NY, about these conditions He is self-important, arrogant, with a “don’t call me I’ll call you” attitude and there has been no dialog. I believe that Mr. Jim Cody should tender his resignation for the good of our veterans.Veterans Preference….Staff the VA with Veterans!
Dennis Thorp is a native of Frankfort and served as an U.S. Army medic during the Vietnam War. He is co-founder of Agent Orange Victims International.
February 2nd, 2008 at 4:20 pmAs the son of a man that died of lung cancer after repeated and extended exposure to agent orange in VN, I can say without a doubt that he would punch in the mouth anyone that tried to get him to join any organization that had “victims” in it’s name.

Alls I gots to say is the F***ing commercials better be good …
Who is the halftime show?
February 3rd, 2008 at 9:35 amIm pulling for the Giants in this one. Would be a cool thing if little Manning won one his first try. Patriots winning is becoming ‘old hat’ to me. Im not a Giants fan either but i have to pull for someone. Im just looking forward to the food
Oh and as for the halftime show, i heard it was gonna be tom petty.
February 3rd, 2008 at 10:00 am“Would McCain have had the guts to go into Iraq in the first place?”
Good question Pat. I guess it would depend on which day of the week it was, which way the wind was blowing and most importantly how it would affect McCain politically. Oh and then, I know this is a stretch, McCain might consider what was best for the US.
February 3rd, 2008 at 1:24 pmPhil . . . Absolutely - McCain seems to base his decisions on how hard it sticks it to conservatives . . .
If McCain is the Republican candidate, we lose . . . If Romney is the candidate, we have a very slight chance . . .
February 3rd, 2008 at 2:40 pmHow are your eyes Pat?

Dennis, I’m not quite sure what VA system you’re talking about. I’ve been in the VA system since ‘81, first at the Buffalo VA and since 03 at the Philadelphia VA. I was awarded a 100% disability in Nov 04. While in Buffalo a good 20% of my time was in some kind of program, either in-patient or out. Since I’ve been back in Philadelphia I make weekly visits for checkups. I was in the regular army from 67 to 72 and the guard in Buffalo from 84 to 94. I’ve also done little programs at the Lebanon, PA, Coatesville, PA and Montrose, NY VAs. Back in Sep I needed emergency service but wasn’t able to get to the Phiadelphia one. I called for an ambulance and was taken to the closest hospital and the VA, admittedly a little slow, paid the $1100 bill. $850 for a mile and half ambulance ride. Never got that much for a mile and a half in the 18 years driving a taxi. I don’t know. I hear these horror stories, but I never see them. The VA can always need improvement and such a huge government agency is going to have screw ups, but there, as far as my unprofessional eye can see, hey, I’m just the patient, aren’t massive demonstrations with bodies stacked like cord wood at the entrances of VAs. I’m just sayin’.
