H&I Fires* 02 Nov 2008

Open post for those with something to share, updated through the day. New, complete posts come in below this one. Note: If trackbacking, please acknowledge this post in your post. That's only polite.

Princess Crabby can see clearly now - and so can you, with a little help from yours truly.  Remember, when it comes to her Bad Boyfriend, Maggie's here to chew gum and kick butt - and she's outta gum.  Me, I voted for the Sarahcuda and the white-haired guy.

Lt. Nixon chastises one of his favorite fishwrappers for being, well, at the most charitable, stupid.  At the least charitable (with some caricature), Der Stürmer-ish.  Probably more Völkischer Beobachtung-er.  Although Pravda is probably more to their taste, the style, the style is more germanic...    -the Armorer

Here's something for a certain demographic known to haunt these halls. The rest of will at least be able to admire the skill... - FbL

*********************************

Gunner, He-Who-Hunts-At-Night, is one heckuva hunter, too.  Keeping in mind that we've very few neighbors (but a lot of cattle for neighbors) and that trash pickup was just last Friday, Gunner came home this morning with a cooked t-bone steak.  Now that's a heckuva hunter, that you can get the prey to slaughter, butcher, and cook itself.  There must be a dimensional door to the Milliway's in the woods nearby.  -the Armorer

*********************************

There are Others, ready to take the place of Armorer, when the incumbent is no longer serviceable.



***********************************

BTW - SWWBO (who is a local radio celeb now - and will be doing post-election commentary on Wednesday morning on KMBZ) is getting garrulous on her blog, finally.  -the Armorer

**********************************

Up north, where the Shades of Fleas reside, comes a Pop Quiz.  Who is Senator Obama's speechwriter?  Bill Ayers?  -the Armorer

**********************************

Stupid Colonel criminal tricks.  Bad judgement knows no boundary of rank and position.  -the Armorer

*A term of art from the artillery. Harassment and Interdiction Fires. Back in the day, when you could just kill people and break things without a note from a lawyer, they were pre-planned, but to the enemy, random, fires at known gathering points, road junctions, Main Supply Routes, assembly areas, etc - to keep the bad guy nervous that the world around him might start exploding at any minute. Not really relevant to today's operating environment, right? But, it *is. The UAVs we fly over Afghanistan and Pakistan looking for targets of opportunity are a form of H&I fires, if you really want to parse it finely. We just have better sensors and fire control now. Of course, now I have to call them UAS's, because someone got a Legion of Merit for the name change.Anyway, I call the post H&I Fires because it's random things posted by me and people I've given posting privileges to that particular topic. Another term of art that might be appropriate is Free Fire Zone.

John,  Does your vote count?  Isn't a violation of the Constitution to vote on other than the first Tuesday in November?
 
OOPS forgot the it.

Isn't it against the Constitution....
 
I dunno 'bout all that, Jim.  All I know is I went into the Courthouse, signed the register, and touched the screen.

If it didn't count, well, then I'll be annoyed, if I ever really *know* it didn't count.

Other than metaphorically.
 
As always thank for the linkage ;)
 
Er thanks not "thank", you can tell what I was doing last night.
 
Lt Nixon Sir...If those people wanted to keep their opinions secret, they should have covered up the signs they put on their front lawns. That's what I do living out here in a Blue State. Don't want nobody jumping to conclusions.

And is Fbl trying to say Boston Maggie posed for Jessica Rabbit? I'm so confused.
 
Fishmugger - it's one thing for people to have the signs out, and people seeing them.

It's quite another for an opinion rag to publish addresses.  How would their story have been damaged by not publishing target coordinates?

Just because you may not be liable for the misbehavior of others who choose to engage in second and third order effects...  doesn't mean it's not a dumb (and intimidating) thing to do.
 

Mmmmmm, top of the top at the Castle.......I like the view!  Thanks for the linky-love.

@FM - No, I am not the model for Jessica.......that's Were-Kitten..........she's not bad..........she's just drawn that way.

The Stranger story is very disturbing.  I think it's quite clearly an attempt to supress McCain's support and stifle free speech.  There is no other explanation.

Wouldn't work with me of course.....

 
i've always had an interest in dabbling in water colors...
 
Finger painting's more fun...
 
purrrrrrrrrrr....mmmmm... finger-painting.. my favorite art form.

It's true you know- Jess and I are like *this*.  And we both like to play patty-cake.
