I really enjoyed what you had to say and learned a lot. I hadn't heard much about military blogging before I heard you speak, but it really intrigued me. It never occurred to me that what I hear in the news might not be accurate information. I think military blogging is a very positive thing for our country! Keep up the good work with telling everyone the truth about what goes on in the military!! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_4_feb.html#comment-69344 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_4_feb.html#comment-69344 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 14:11:27 -0600 "is engaged in a mating dance, not combat " Sometimes the distinction is blurred... especially when the Fleet's in town... heh LOL!

Literally! I think there is a video of nothing but human notables saying that word to. This one might be the funniest though. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_4_feb.html#comment-69338 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_4_feb.html#comment-69338 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 10:54:28 -0600 is engaged in a mating dance, not combat " Sometimes the distinction is blurred... especially when the Fleet's in town... heh]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_4_feb.html#comment-69337 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_4_feb.html#comment-69337 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 10:54:14 -0600 Boq - The video is hilarious! I love it. I showed the girls in the office and they laughed too. Pat, our resident Discovery channel watcher told us the bird in the second or third to last shot is engaged in a mating dance, not combat (The Chief would say something funny at this point)........so the vid suits me! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_4_feb.html#comment-69334 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2008/02/hi_fires_4_feb.html#comment-69334 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 10:16:54 -0600 And while hefty people in MS are denied a Big Mac or Whopper after stepping on a scale at the counter, skinny cigarette addicts will continue to be able to purchase their cancer sticks from vending machines. Tobacco subsidies must be preserved!
