This ship...

[chaotic_nipple]

... Is going to have the most motivated, hard-core crew EVER:
Ship built with WTC steel christened. The USS New York, an amphibious assault ship built with scrap steel from the ruins of the World Trade Center, was christened Saturday as a source of strength and inspiration for the nation.

Other news: This is both fucked-up as Hell, and perversely awesome: A supervisor at a motivational coaching business in Provo is accused of waterboarding an employee in front of his sales team to demonstrate that they should work as hard on sales as the employee had worked to breathe.

This, on the other hand, is just fucked up: Judge jailed for refusing to sit in court with crucifix. An Italian judge was sentenced to a year in prison for refusing to sit in a courtroom with a crucifix on the wall, his lawyer said. Sad that stupidity like this should take place, but at least it's not happening _here_...

While I find the whole concept of "aristocracy" deeply abhorrent, even I have to admit that Prince Harry's one of the "good ones".

Random thoughts: I wonder how long it will be before the purveyers of the "Black Confederates" meme notice that Nazi Germany's military had a small number of ethnically "Jewish" soldiers in their ranks, and therefore conclude that the Nazi's weren't really anti-semitic?

Also, peoples should read Ctrl+Alt+Del, Divalicious, and Sketchies.

update I am a bad boyfriend, as I did not credit the wonderful and awesometastic nanimo for Ctrl+Alt+Del. Forgive, Mistress! Forgive! (sob)

An AWESOME way, that will fill the souls of any Squid, Jarhead, Grunt or even Zoomie who ever gets within 100 miles of thE ship with pure, unadulterated HOOO-AH! kind of way.

where you you find this stuff?

I has links. In Sidebar.

Golf poor little golf listening to static all day

Yeah, I understand the moral aspect, but it's a small vulnerable craft. It's not like the used the steel in an aircraft carrier. If that ship gets sunk it's going to be a whole round of crazy...

So I take it you have some difficulty talking to the super left anti military majority in madison about foreign policy? I usually just avoid the topic these days. It does kind of piss me of that a lot of people who are all worked up about issues like "domestic spying" have no idea what the hell they are talking about... that on really gets under my skin. They don't realize that it's not really domestic spying, it just means if the nsa or cia is listening to a foreign target and that target calls the u.s. they can still listen. IT's not some blank check to listen to american targets..

blah blah blah..

but anyway what I meant when I said "where do you find these things" was " do you just surf the web all day or are you on a few sites that bring this stuff up for you". Sorry I should have explained a little more, especially since you are a former golf. An analyst should be used to having to explain in detail to a lingi...forgot about that..

I demand credit where credit is due. Ass.

PS: while I'm down with supporting said Italian judge, mayhap we shouldn't run around acting like it's horrible that not everyone has a variant of US politial culture?

Poor you. If only you had your glasses you could perhaps read this over my shoulder. Maybe if you were very nice I would consider reading it to you.
