I’m not gonna change those batteries

...[New Mexico] has ordered 500 talking urinal cakes that will deliver a recorded anti-DWI message to bar and restaurant patrons who make one last pit stop before getting behind the wheel.

...The state spent $21 for each talking urinal cake [which has] enough battery power to last about three months.

JR told me last week end that a guy (med student) told him what human body fat smells like.

I have long thought that the military pays insufficient attention to their procedure for bringing combat veterans back to the US and their families.  Plucking someone out of the jungle and away from their tight-knit group and plopping them down in an airport stateside within 24 hours did not a smooth transition make.  I imagine it is the same for someone returning from the ME.

It takes months to prepare someone for the combat milieu—why would anyone think it wouldn’t take some time to prepare him to return? 

Yet… there’s something wrong with this approach.  For years there has been much ado in the mental health field about not ‘stigmatizing’ people.  The ‘patient’ became the ‘client’ and finally, the ‘customer.’

This bill, making mental health care / counseling mandatory for all returning vets seems to stigmatize and paint them with the same bogus brush used to portray the “crazy Viet Nam Vet.”

Maybe it’s the sponsors [Obama & Snow].  Maybe it’s the IAVA backing, with their ’Mission Statement‘ of “We uniquely empower Iraq & Afghanistan combat veterans to use their credibility and experiences to speak truth to power, ...” Principles; “Our Troops must always be provided a clear mission (with goals and an exit strategy)...”

It’s not that there is nothing that needs addressing—it’s just that this particular approach is sending up a pile of red flags for me.

The top U.S. military officer said Tuesday the discovery that roadside bombs in Iraq contained material made in Iran does not necessarily mean the Iranian government was involved in supplying insurgents.

OK…

Pace told reporters in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, that U.S. forces hunting militant networks in Iraq that produced roadside bombs had arrested Iranians and some of the materials used in the devices were made in Iran.

“That does not translate that the Iranian government per se, for sure, is directly involved in doing this,” Pace said. “What it does say is that things made in Iran are being used in Iraq to kill coalition soldiers.”

On Monday, Pace said he had no firm knowledge that the Iranian government had sanctioned the arming of the insurgents.

“It is clear that Iranians are involved, and it’s clear that materials from Iran are involved, but I would not say by what I know that the Iranian government clearly knows or is complicit,” Pace told the Voice of America.

Right…

But what about this?

Austrian sniper rifles that were exported to Iran have been discovered in the hands of Iraqi terrorists, The Daily Telegraph has learned.

More than 100 of the.50 calibre weapons, capable of penetrating body armour, have been discovered by American troops during raids.

The guns were part of a shipment of 800 rifles that the Austrian company, Steyr-Mannlicher, exported legally to Iran last year.

The National Iranian Police Organisation bought the rifles allegedly to use them against drug smugglers in an £8 million order placed with Steyr in 2005.

With all due respect General Pace; these types of weapons just don’t accidentally find their way across the Iran-Iraq border and into the hands of terrorist by some clerical error.

So maybe the shaped charges that Pace is referencing may be harder to directly link to Ahmahdinutjob’s government - but the .50 cal rifles are an entirely different story.

“Karen loved animals. Unfortunately the cheetahs betrayed her trust,” Libot said.

While the industrialized nations average $27,000 per person in income, the Moslem world manages only 14 percent of that. And that’s despite all that oil income. Half of all Moslems are illiterate, versus less than ten percent in industrialized countries. France has a larger GDP than all Moslem nations put together.

Why is this?

For nearly half a century, the lack of progress was blamed on the “legacy of colonialism.” Reformers point out that, for most Arab countries, the colonial ruler for most of the last thousand years has been fellow Moslems (usually Turks). That tends to be played down by Moslem media and politicians. The reformers point out, the short period of European colonialism gave the Moslem world an opportunity to start catching up in education and economic development. But instead, Moslem leaders fought among themselves and stole whatever wealth they could get their hands on.

Me?  I blame the crusades and the Jooooz.  I’m sure Yarbouti will concur and invoke an incorrectly interpreted and poorly paraphrased dissertation by Albert Camus, Kalil Gibran, or even a passage from Jimmah’s new book.

If you stop and think about this for a moment it’s quite clear that black people in the US of A have it much better than the vast majority of anyone in Moslem nations.  American blacks have higher incomes and rates of literacy despite 6 years under the tyrannical Bush regime and his attempts to commit genocide against them in New Orleans.

.........the next step in Channel 50’s evolution will be a nationally watched experiment in local television coverage. Over the next few months, the station’s management plans to ask people in the community—its independent filmmakers, its college students and professors, its civic leaders and others—to provide programming for the station.

Most service members fully support the war in Iraq and feel calls to retreat by Congress and attacks by our media on our conduct and mission act to motivate our enemy while demoralizing our support at home, directly increasing the threat we face and resulting in greater American casualties. This Appeal for Redress provides a way in which individual service members can appeal to Congress to fully support us and actively oppose media attacks on our mission and our morale.

Back in MY day SOndra ( Sandra with an O) was as far as my mama would go with the name game. For many years I was very self conscious about it too.
And at the time she KNEW I was something special....

Hardly ever do people spell it simply as it sounds either.

It’s a pity that the Constitutional definition of treason:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to the Enemies, giving the Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on confession in open Court.

...doesn’t allow for a crime of treason by omission.

Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a 2008 Democratic presidential hopeful, is shown on a chair spinning in a circle, saying he was doing something no other candidate can, during a campaign stop, Saturday, Feb. 3, 2007, in Keene, N.H.

President George W. Bush is trying to convince the world he has no intention of invading Iran, but is running into skeptics who see U.S. charges that Iran is shipping bombs into Iraq as a step toward conflict.

Chance of rain later today but it IS cloudy at the moment.

TOaD...be proud. You are the least significant clump of cells that ever graced my air space and have absolutely nothing to offer the world.

You are also the first person to ever be banned except for someone who was personally threatening the safety of me and my family.... for simply being a retarded fuckwad and boring me to tears with your predicable and contrived regurgitations. I even allow a terrorist apologist to remain. How’s that feel?
