Note: If trackbacking, please acknowledge this post in your post. That&apos;s only polite. You&apos;re advertising here, we should get an ad at your place... Time to add a new caveat, because from email it&apos;s not clear to some folks (mind you, if you don&apos;t read this it won&apos;t matter...)

                Well I shoot the little guns TOW2, M-16a4, the Javelin and AT-4 and just would really hate to see the government waste that kind of money shooting Al Bore. It could be put to better use, I.E. Target shooting, fireworks, shooting down asteroids hell just about anything but shooting it at HIM. 
             Love the U.S. Army Infantry

                No real leering, of course. :P  Had a very satisfying day assisting a lot of recruits and young Marines spending a night on the town before reporting to SOI tomorrow.  I had to stay late, and so unexpectedly got to watch the DI with the recruits.  I&apos;ll probably write about it tomorrow.  Sadly, there were no Naval Officers to flirt with.  ;)

                That&apos;s because it&apos;s an *Army* Abrams. You&apos;re thinking of the *Marine* version, which is equipped with a bayonet stud...

                ****SAFETY NOTE****
Never use the gun tube for a battering ram as nothing good will come of it. And, the DS turret contact team will never let you live it down.


PS: Note the lack of can opener mounting bracket.

                &quot;Bore Clear&quot; means all the bores have left the room and we can break out the good chocolate, &apos;ritas/mojitos, dancing poles, dancing Poles, and the zero-g Twister game.

                <![CDATA[In case you missed it.<a href="http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/01/13/jonah-goldbergs-revisionist-definitions/" rel="nofollow">Jonah Goldberg’s Revisionist Definitions</a>

Jonah has so discredited himself, this it is likely the last you will ever see of him on TV.  He is not only on the same intelligence level of Bush, he is also a jerk like Bush.

I vote you re-brand this fine blog. Anyone else?

<blockquote>
The primary definition that Goldberg ignores for his own version is “Fascism.” In Doughy Pantload World, “fascism” means “something bad”. This is something I’ve suspected for many years about conservatives: They don’t actually know the definitions of the epithets they like to throw out to dismiss and demean the left. They just think it means “something bad.” For example:

    To sort of start the story, the reason why we see fascism as a thing of the right is because fascism was originally a form of right-wing socialism. Mussolini was born a socialist, he died a socialist, he never abandoned his love of socialism, he was one of the most important socialist intellectuals in Europe and was one of the most important socialist activists in Italy, and the only reason he got dubbed a fascist and therefore a right-winger is because he supported World War I.

Um, actually, not so much. Mussolini was dubbed a fascist because he founded the Fascist Party, you big, fact-ignoring dope.</blockquote>]]>
