So long SAW?
Marine Corps Times:
Marine infantry units soon may replace their light machine guns with new automatic rifles designed to help gunners move faster on assaults.
Weapons officials at Marine Corps Systems Command in Quantico, Va., are testing magazine-fed weapons from at least six gun makers in a search for a lighter alternative to the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, which weighs close to 17 pounds unloaded.
At the squad level, “the biggest hindrance to being able to effectively fire and maneuver is the weight of the SAW,” said Patrick Cantwell, capability integration officer for the Infantry Automatic Rifle program at SysCom.
The winning IAR design — which the Corps wants to weigh no more than 12.5 pounds — could begin replacing the SAW in infantry squads as early as next year.

A Front Page headline on today’s New York Times:
Once Elected, Palin Hired Friends and Lashed Foes
and just below that we another one. Probably not another innuendo-rich smear, probably something positive to say to balance their coverage. Oh, what am I thinking? The people who wrote both of these articles want Hussein to be President.
Active Role for Palin’s Husband in Alaska Government
Now you’d think from the headline that his wife did something unethical and got him a high-paying government job. No, not at all. He’s not paid a penny, and there is no job. The article is about how Palin has conversations with her husband about her work, and how sometimes she may listen to his advice. And of course, it says he’s a meddler. McCain better watch out, cos apparently Palin’s husband is going to be really runnng America. But perhaps most of all, the article is bascially a smear, designed to make Sarah Palin look like a weak woman who really lets her husband run the government.
The death of journalism? No longer any such thing as journalists, just poltical operatives who write propaganda for their respective parties? A co-ordinatd, relentless, ruthless and lying campaign of character assassination against Palin?
I would really like to see what these stories would read like if the writer had to announce which candidate they intended to vote for in the opening paragraph.
I’d also be curious to see a roundup of NY Times quotes about Hussein that are as blatantly judgmental and negative as the ones in these stories.

Not to change the subject, but…
Everytime I think of a pres Obama… I can’t help but feel disgusted at the thought of our soldiers having to solute that whiney asshole. I mean, he sat his skinny ass behind a desk for less than 100 days (I’m subtracting the 2 week african safari he took his family on -and charged the taxpayers for, and others trips of course). Trying to live like Oprah on our dime. It’s the audacity of arrogance to think he deserves the title of Commander in Chief! Watching Sarah Palin sending off the Arctic Wolves the other day just reminded me of what a DEGENERATE Obama is.
Am I alone here in my thinking? Or am I just bitter and clinging?
End of rant…
September 14th, 2008 at 7:04 ambeatbushgear.com is advertising here???? what’s up with that?
September 14th, 2008 at 8:17 amThey are automated ads that are chosen by keywords in articles. Look for russian mail order pleasure girls if there is an article about the old soviet bear on the page.
The bias of the press is destroying themselves. Why will anyone continue to give them access if they are only going to selectively edit interviews or print articles containing partial quotes to satisfy the ‘journalists’ ideology.
I for one want to see more and more confrontation with the press by those being interviewed. i.e. within two questions it was apparent that the devils’ bitch gibson was not going to be fair with Palin. She should have turned it back to him and questioned him why he was parsing her quotes? and then asking will an unedited copy of this interview be released?
If I was on the McCain campaign and you are looking at one of these one on one interviews, I would demand to have my own lone unmanned camera record the entire interview for my records.

Found this quote this morning. (I like Mr. Watts and was sad to see him leave politics.) I see Obama explaining more and more… It’s very telling.

I saw Mack testing some possible replacements on “Future Weapons.” Whatever they end up choosing, I hope it is made to be as reliable as possible.

September 14th, 2008 at 10:38 amCheck out the qoute from Florida’s official dumb blond:
“She doesn’t know anything, and she is not ready to be vice president,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) said on CBS’s “Face The Nation.”
“Quite honestly, the interview I saw and that Americans saw on Thursday and Friday was similar to when I didn’t read a book in high school and had to read the Cliff’s Notes and phone in my report,” Wasserman-Schultz said of Palin’s interview with ABC’s Charlie Gibson last week. “She’s Cliff-noted her performance so far.”
Debbie Shitz, supports infanticide… huge planned parenthood supporter. Ironically, she has a kids page on her official website. Honestly, where in the hell do they get these freaks from?
oh, here’s the reference:

September 14th, 2008 at 12:54 pmAn announcement about tonights JKH went out on FreeRepublic and has been picked up by at least one major “ping list”! Expect a lot of new people and probably a lot that will be shocked at the language used here. I told them that it’s how the men fighting for their freedom talk and they might as well get used to it!! Just an FYI….
OT….

September 14th, 2008 at 5:43 pmWhen’s the last time someone could read the New York Times and know he was getting fair and balanced news? 1970? There’s been a demonstrable and even greater shift to the left since 2000. Has anyone else noticed that?

September 14th, 2008 at 6:25 pmWell I bet Julie Banderas’ fiance is walking a bit taller; I see she has a nice big diamond on her ring finger. I’ve always thought she’s one of the most exotically beautiful women on television. Friel, Kelly, and soon Banderas are off the market. Who does that leave? I find Domenica to be a cutie, and Nauert (she single?) is pretty damn fine looking. FNC has the best anchor babes, for sure.
September 14th, 2008 at 9:24 pmI took the test, my score…zero!
September 14th, 2008 at 10:49 pmNauert’s as married as aything. I feel your pain, I’ve been tracking her since she did a college show.

September 14th, 2008 at 10:52 pmHopefully she will be raped, the perferred Muslim way of lovemaking, and then will have her sking peeled off slowly while she’s awake, as her typically methed out tormentors go into a satanic rap[ture right befoe an L-Mav slams into their roof.

Indeed, there would seem to be an especially conspicuous absence of witnesses to the years after graduated from Columbia and before he moved to Chicago to work as a community organizer.
Well, it turns out that one of his co-workers has in fact written about Mr. Obama during those days. And while he is an admitted fan of Obama’s, he claims that he has inflated his resume considerably.
Others who worked with Obama at Business International have subsequently chimed in.
