Good evening,

We hope this finds each of you well. Much of the past 22 months have been all about change, many call it "cambios" and there's nothing wrong with that. For it's all change and change happens.

This brings me to the purpose of my writing. Friends, we can no longer resist change and thus must jump in with both feet, ready for action.

Accordingly, effective midnight GMT, The Al Haig Trust will be taking over the AOSHQ site. We will be changing the format and will be broadcasting it in frequency-modulation, those in the military will understand this to simply mean FM.

My trust trusts you will understand and come to embrace this change.

The Legal Directors of the Al Haig Trust

People often ask me, Oklahoman that I am, what a "Sooner" is. And I tell them: a Sooner is a criminal. A Sooner is a cheater. A Sooner is a man or woman with a low name. And someone who would take the name Sooner and venerate it, well, that person is a fucking degenerate.

However, once a season we meet those degenerates on a noble field of battle. That is Bedlam.

The story of Bedlam:

In the Year of our Lord 1900, Oklahoma A&M veterinary medicine professor Dr. L.L. Lewis brought together a group of students to participate in the first Oklahoma Territory Track and Field Meet. Held on May 4, 1900, the event included Alva Normal College, Central Normal of Edmond, Kingfisher College, and the Old Enemy, Oklahoma University.

The prize of the tournament was a silver cup donated by a local jeweler named Douglas. A&M won the meet and returned to Stillwater with the traveling trophy.

In 1901, A&M won again, and a third consecutive win would mean permanent retirement of the Douglas Cup in Stillwater. The third meet was held on May 23, 1902, with the Aggies winning the most points. Oklahoma, sore at their drubbing, filed a protest based on the pole vault competition not having been completed due to darkness. Nevertheless, A&M claimed the Douglas Cup and returned victorious to Stillwater.

The next day the Sooners held their own pole vault competition and declared themselves the victor of the tournament. Several weeks later, the Douglas Cup was stolen from its place in a glass case at the A&M chemistry lab. Suspecting that Sooners had taken the Cup, a group of A&M students made a daring raid to Norman. They retrieved the Cup and buried it under Old Central for safekeeping.

Ten years later, when excavation was being done for Gundersen Hall, the trophy was found. Today the Douglas Cup resides safely in OSU's Heritage Hall.

Bedlam football starts in Stillwater in 30 minutes. The winner of this game will be the conference South champion. You can get the game on ABC in most areas and if it's not showing in your area, you can see it streaming on the internet at ESPN3.

Back in 2004, California passed proposition 71 which was to spend $3 Billion dollars towards Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Today, there are multiple articles discussing how it has essentially been a money pit so far with no tangible results. In fact, it starts to sound like the dreary pap you get from global warming supporters that need more money for something that might take decades to come to fruition if ever.

Some six years later, with about $1.1 billion dispersed, there have been $270 million worth of impressive new labs built, research papers published, and respected scientists hired at exorbitant salaries, but no miracle cures or even marketable therapies. And none is likely for years, if not decades, to come. The promised financial payback for the financially strapped citizens of California is also far off.

Emotions and anti-Bush feelings passed this proposition back in 2004 and the adult stem cell research has been far more successful to date than embryonic stem cell research. In 2014, these same people that wanted Proposition 71 passed are coming back for more money for research with little to no return on investment, unless you get paid to build new labs and "work" at said labs. Now I've seen various numbers for the number of successful treatments derived from adult stem cell research from around 70 up to 138. I'm not aware of a single treatment yet derived from embryonic stem cell research. I'm no expert in this (remember I put warheads on foreheads) but as a taxpayer (an investor so to speak) this does not seem to be a wise area to invest more money in.

I was cruising the internets today creating original content lifting material from other people and I came across an article at Business Insider. A poll was conducted and found that 45% of Koreans support escalation.

Some 34% don't want escalation but will support a military response if the Norks attack again. (By support they mean real support, not like a Democratic politician support).

The author notes:

But If there is another attack, these responses suggests around three in four South Koreans would support military response. That's saying a lot for a country that knows military engagement exposes them the world's biggest artillery force, chemical weapons and half a dozen nuclear weapons.

Please check out the link. They have a lot of great photos of the artillery attack aftermath. You'll have to click a link or two when you get there, but worth checking out.

Also, here is a link to Pat Buchanan's latest article about Korea. I think all of his articles are just mad libs. They all tend to ask the same question, "Why are we still in _______?". Fill in the blank depending on what country is in the news.

Hey, letÂ’s talk about the plummeting popularity and sinking poll numbers of the President who would be King but for the constitution.

I suspect “king” isn’t the most accurate of descriptors as it denotes nobility and an air of royalty. What we have going on with Mr. Obama is the first president that has a past alias and whose entire background of primary school records, post-secondary college transcripts, employment history, etcetera, have either been scrubbed or are under court seal.

We are operating in a sort of political Never, Never Land with an executive branch that is setting itself apart from the simple commoners, the proletariat, in their quest to reorder the governmentÂ’s interposition with society.

Alan Simpson(R-Balls of Steel) has been speaking bluntly about the Debt Commission.

But Simpson said that while every interest group that testified before his committee agreed that the mounting federal debt is a national tragedy, they would then talk about why government funding to their area of interest shouldn't be touched.

"We had the greatest generation -- I think this is the greediest generation," he said.

We are going to be hearing a lot of this when the Commission releases it's final plan. Special interest groups who want the debt cut, but howl when it is there program that is getting cut. The coming cuts are going to be painful and none of us are going to be spared, but we don't really have anymore options. The medicine always tastes terrible.

Lazy Exit Questions: Are there areas in government that you think shouldn't be cut at all? Are any of you collecting SS or will be soon and think you shouldn't have to take a hit, but the younger generations should?

Homeland Security shut down domain names that were suspected of violating copyright law. No trial yet. No homeland security threat yet. No copyright terrorism going on.

The investigative arm of the Homeland Security Department appears to be shutting down websites that facilitate copyright infringement.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has seized dozens of domain names over the past few days, according to TorrentFreak.

ICE appears to be targeting sites that help Internet users download copyrighted music, as well as sites that sell bootleg goods, such as fake designer handbags.

It would be nice to know what part of the act of Congress that set up the Department of Homeland Security permits this kind of action. So that I can know whether to thank George Bush or Barack Obama. more...

PRESIDENT, n.
The leading figure in a small group of men of whom -- and of whom only -- it is positively known that immense numbers of their countrymen did not want any of them for President.

He parked a van with six 55-gallon drums of fake explosives, provided by undercover FBI agents, next to a Christmas tree lighting ceremony. Then he went to a train station and used a cell phone to try to detonate it.

U.S. Attorney Dwight Holton released federal court documents to The Associated Press and the Oregonian newspaper that show the sting operation began in June after an undercover agent learned that Mohamud had been in regular e-mail contact with an "unindicted associate" in Pakistan's northwest, a frontier region where al-Qaida and Afghanistan's Taliban insurgents are strong.

The two used coded language in which the FBI believes Mohamud discussed traveling to Pakistan to prepare for "violent jihad," the documents said.

I don't mean to imply he had any assistance from Pakistan (except I do).

Come visit Pakistan. Our principle exports are Christmas cheer and bloody mass-death.
