Today, Bush is going to give a major speech to the American public ( you, me, all those people that we see ) and announce that Army tours are going to be cut to 12 months. Which is good. But don’t fool yourself too much y’all, as stressful as it all is, you’ll find many a man that’s been out there wax romantically about it, and often most specifically not for romantic reasons but one practical one, and one kind of crazy one, and a few very serious ones. The practical one is the simplicity of life, even in a combat zone. I’ve had many a Marine tell me about how nice it is to not have to worry about all the many details of the business of stateside life, to have the great singular focus of the missions in front of you….the crazy part being the excitement; as strange as it sounds there is some quintessential connection to the universe, that you feel just about greater than anything else you’ve ever felt, when your day is quite literally about surviving the hunt being conducted for you, and simultaneously executing the hunt being conducted against the enemy. And then there is the sense of purpose, and the sense of brotherhood, and not just of brotherhood as a concept or shared feeling, but as a shared life or death experience, an activity, to band together and execute… no one for the greatest part wishes to be out there longer, but at the same time, there is magic even in the darkness. Always.
6:58 A.M.
The essence of Al Gore’s legacy: 1. Throwing America into a bloodless civil war that rages to this day by trying to steal the election and then claiming Bush did, and 2. being a prime force in the destruction of the world food supply and economy by volunteering for the job of Prime Mover in the Global Warming Fraud in order to medicate the psycho-emotional-ego trauma of 1, while simultaneously making millions in a fraudulent scheme of selling carbon credits. He wasn’t going to get Clinton-sized book and speaking fees, so he had no choice really. Which professions are generally noted in the field of psychiatry as being the three most infested with psychopaths? Politicians, doctors and lawyers. Remember, until you really get to know someone, sincerity, charm and intelligence are all as much a sign of a psychopath as they are of a good person. Cheerful thought, I know…think about it, it could be no other way. A psychopath, an evil person, could never succeed in the essential task of all their crimes, which is the securing of someone’s confidence, if their primary personality traits were unappealing as opposed to appealing.

Al-Qaeda’s deputy leader captured in Anbar
Baghdad, Apr 10, (VOI) - Iraqi security forces arrested Nezal Sabar surnamed Abu al-Jerah, assistant of al-Qaeda in Iraq’s leader, the group’s emir of the armed group in Anbar, the Interior Ministry said on Thursday.
“Iraqi security forces arrested Abu al-Jerah on April 8 in Eishreen street in Ramadi while roaming the city’s streets. He has been a fugitive for two years,” the Ministry said in a statement received by Aswat al-Iraq Voices of Iraq – (VOI).
Abu Ayoub al-Masri is the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq. He succeeded Abu Musaab al-Zarqawi, who was killed in a U.S. raid in 2006.

You know, if you think about it, neither Hillary or Obama can win the general election. Thing like, “Teed up for dems….economy….” it’s just chatter. There is not now nor has there ever been a Dem economic plan of any meaning or substance outside of FDR’s stop-gap government employer programs….and if you think about it, things like the WPA were not set up to replace private enterprise with a government agency as the Left’s current social programs are, they were set up to because there wasn’t enough private enterprise - they were filling a void. There’s a thing called the exception to every rule. FDR’s socialism was an exception because it’s long-term purpose was not to replace private enterprise, it was to jump-start it.
Neither Hillary or Obama can win. Everybody knows.

Barely slept for ’bout a day. So please don’t excuse my gibberish as typos or mere forgetfulness in terms of reviewing and rewriting. It’s gibberish.
11:30 A.M.
Okay, so to begin the rattlesnake story. Three of my buddies headed out to the desert to shoot the new $8K fully auto, short barrel M4 that one of them had. One former member of the 82nd Airborne who served and saw much real shit in Kosovo and Afghanistan, one Marine now working for a private Security company, and one used car salesman. This is not a set-up to a joke, this is a true story from yesterday.
12:41 P.M.
It’s a pretty funny match up. The Marine was the driver of my LAV in the Triangle of Death days, the civilian, we’ll call him Jerry, is a funny, extremely affable party-hardy kind of guy, on the fast track for management at the car company where he works. Not a used car salesman, just wrote that line cos it fit in as funny for the crew’s description. But he’s a civilian, loose, without any of the edges of the two very hardcore military guys he’s with. They get out there do some typically kinda dangerous four-wheelin, just because the countryside beckons, and it’s in their blood since has been the lifestyle since childhood, so they do, despite the overwhelming and intoxicating pull of that fully auto shortbarrel with the aimpoint. Of course, they get stuck, get some strangers to tow, and now it’s shootin time. They get out….
1:18 P.M.

`Morning, all …
Spring has finally “sprung” here in O-Hi-O …
Spring ‘colds’ … SUCK!
I’d like to find and shoot the guy that sat in the seat infront of me on the plane … and hacked and sneezed the whole flight while aiming his overhead air vent back at me.
Thanks for sharing, you left-wing, bird flu plagued dolt …
April 10th, 2008 at 5:07 amDamn, you folks were buzzy here yesterday. Missed all the fun.
Had a one-on-one- with a Clp. last night. (NO, DrillAnwr, it’s not what you are thinking. Clean up your dirty mind, will ya

Brought him back to base after midnight.
It took me 6 hours to get him fixed again and back on track. Needed a lot of digging before I got to the real source of his problems. The fucking medical back-up at base closes at 16.00. Buddys to buzzy with their own problems and then I’m the last resource.
I’m exhausted but happy. At least one (more) soul saved.

Was at a friends for a lamb roast awhile back … Her brother was in charge of tending the open pit. Took hours of him watching that critter slowly rotate over the hot cherry and hickory wood coals … hours and a case of beer. He’d take a long gulp, and then pour some slowly over the lamb while chanting “One for my homie …”

April 10th, 2008 at 6:15 amWonder if Pat’s on to the Rattlesnake/chicken game at a bar. A snake hunter for pharmaceuticals I knew brought a rattler in a huge clear glass jar, and as you came in…sober…he’d bet you couldn’t hold your hand on the glass while the snake struck. Sure as hell, the built in taxonomy of our reptillian brain made me flinch my hand off the jar. A few beers later, I won one.

It’s enough to keep you up in a cold sweat at night …
And let’s NOT even imagine this country or the world today, post 9-11-01, if Gore had been successful in stealing the 2000 election …
I tend to sort of believe that the 9-11 attack WAS meant for a Gore presidency … that the terrorists thought/believed Gore would follow Clinton into office, and carry-on the legacy of lame or no responses to attacks …
Dennis Miller said something a bit striking and possibly poignant on Bill O`Reilly last night (or was it Jon Voight on Glenn Beck?) … The cold meds and caffeine are duking it out right now in my mind.
Anyhow, the comment was made that the Almighty watches out for us (this country) in times of danger and war and ‘makes sure’ the right person gets into office to deal with those times properly.
Could be … Could be.
When I was in high school, during homecoming week, the football team would dress in wigs, make-up and the cheerleaders’ uniforms (with oranges/grapefruits) and go about the school day … The cheerleaders would wear the football uniforms and padding with the black grease smears under their eyes … Was the highlight of the school year.
And don’t get me started on Sadi Hawkins Day …
I take less offense to men dressing in woman’s wear as campy entertainment at a private event than I do the sexually confused school teacher who one day is Mr. Campbell in a suit and tie in front of the class, and then Ms. Campbell the next day in a bargin bin polyester dress.

Al Gore makes me sick and to be honest his followers do too.
The evidence to suggest global warming was wrong is out there now, why do people still believe in it? and whatever happened to natural earth cycles. anyone remember the hole in the ozone laye that had people freaked out then later was found to be a natural way for the earth to clean itself, well the hole later closed on its own.
what was it, about 15 or 20 years ago that scientists were predicting or at least preparing for another ice age. wrong again
When this is all said and done Al Gore should be sent to prison for leading a worldwide scam that has done nothing more than left people worse off than before.

We found you hiding we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand

Your molten bodies blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes …….

April 10th, 2008 at 10:26 pmBeen out of it for a few days. Was down in D.C. with GoE and picked up a nasty bug along the way. Nyquil + jameson + tussin x large quantities of each = no ability to write a coherent sentence or post stuff online.
I put up pics:

April 11th, 2008 at 4:22 amSorry we weren’t down there the same weekend. I was there the last weekend of March.

I see that bed of tulips bloomed!
Would that be YOU with the Jihadi Killer Crusader T-shirt in the last pic?

MADNESS!!!! YES!!! Da boyz! I was about to toss you “Our House” but the cold meds kicked in and I crawled in bed.
And then you “grew up” (HEH!) and went for the metal … good work!
I did major growing up in the 1990s (Clinton years) on many levels … (heh!) and picked up on more of this stuff … Which

Well, while waiting for our fearless leader to return with the final chapter(s) of the rattlesnake bedtime story a couple of us dabbled in the music world and our favorites therein.
We might need to send out a patrol to locate Dollard’s ‘where-abouts’ …
April 11th, 2008 at 4:36 amI read all about your musical favorites and those of others. I was just afraid Kurt got hit by lightning and you got blown away. (

April 11th, 2008 at 5:29 amAnecdote on the Rattler hunter with the snake in the jar. Some time later I see him in the bar again only this time both arms all bandaged up from an exploding radiator accident. Never, never ever ask someone in such a perdicament how he wipes after taking a dump!!!
