I was remembering Midway just before you said that Midday-Midway. When I was a 13 year old (girl) my dad made me go to the movies with him to see "Midway". I thought it was going to kill me. He had served in the South Pacific during WWII and couldn't figure out why I wasn't interested.

My favorite Memorial Day/Veterans' Day memories were watching Tora! Tora! Tora!, Midway, and Green Berets (or Sands of Iwo Jima, depending) with my dad. Of course, that was back when school kids got those days off, too.

Because Obama seems to be doing an Asia push, beefing up our presence in Australia, sending Hillary to meet the monsters in Myanmar, etc., I have been getting just the worst kind of feelings. I fear that our Leader is trying to stick our collective dicks into the Chinese chicken. We are going to get scuffed-up knees from being dragged back and forth across the road if we are not careful. This is not a good time to be messing around very heavily in the geographic sphere of influence of our Chinese brethren, me thinks. But then, everything that SCoaMF does gives me a chill. Call it healthy Friday paranoia!

Well, I feel a little guilty that my first reaction to your suggestion my wife may be having a "torrid affair" is to want to find the poor sap and warn him.
Heh. I had a bf in college that I found out was cheating on me. My first response was oh thank god now I can dump him with no guilt. My second was to go to the girl and ask why for the love of god, she could do so much better than him.

You're expecting that to start a flame war? I'm pretty sure most of us agree. The only reason I'm looking to Newt is if my only chances are him and Romney. Because whatever else Newt is, he's a political animal, and he knows that ObamaCare is not at all popular.
So, to me, Newt is better than Romney. But Perry is better than either (on paper, at least).

Newt isn't perfect and has pissed me off to the point that I've vocally declared 'he's dead to me' more than once. All candidates are flawed in some way but in the end they're all better than what we have. I'm still hoping for a Perry miracle. My philosophy is vote your conscience in the primary and vote for the R nominee, no matter who, in the general. Even the great Cornholio himself, Mitt.

Since you've given me the thread for it: will somebody get to that damn Exec on the Mil Hist Channel quickie ("Since then there have been [rolls eyes, thinks for a second] fifty-six aircraft carriers") and tell him about the Battle of the Coral Sea?
Midway was not the first carrier battle in which the ships never saw each other. As my fully-tatted, ex-battleship sailor three-trips-to-Antarctica employee used to say, kgaaawd!

I found it a little telling that he never mentioned candidate policy, either, only whether they could get votes. He came across as very much a political animal, as if the only important thing was getting "this guy" into office, and whatever happened afterwards was immaterial.

Just like the tea party, part 2152523:
WEST JORDAN, Utah (The Blaze/AP) — Authorities say a Utah man has been arrested after throwing a Molotov cocktail at a Wells Fargo branch.
Police responded early Thursday morning in West Jordan, about 15 miles south of Salt Lake City. A bank window was cracked, but authorities say the device didnÂ’t explode.
The man arrested is 20 years old. His name wasnÂ’t released. Authorities say a bomb squad removed suspicious items from his car, but it wasnÂ’t immediately clear if they were explosive.

And to get the OWS crowd to wear them, you just lie about what SCOAMF stands for. Someone here suggested an alternate translation that would get leftards to use the term, but I don't remember (now) what it was.

For two years this blogger tracked the bizarre Obama-glorifying cult of personality products which used his likeness. They appeared on the market in 208 and 2009 when he was at the peak of his popularity and included his likeness on US flags. He never said boo.

"When did the KKK start supporting black and white, interracial marriages?" asked Donna Williams after a cross was burned on her lawn. She is white, her husband is black, and the Panama City (Fla.) News Herald has the story: LB Williams, a 50-year-old black man, his wife of nearly seven years Donna Williams, who is white, and their bi-racial daughter found a cross burning in their driveway Nov. 4. . . . "It started out as a hate crime [investigation] based on the information that we had at the time," said Sgt. Jeff Becker with the Panama City Police Department. It was odd though; the investigator told Donna Williams that whoever left this symbol of hate and fear to burn in the driveway probably didn't want to damage the lawn or burn down the house. Two days later, Donna found a note taped to the front door and the side entrance of the house. She paraphrased: "They were watching us, I assumed me and the kids, and that I better not leave that [N-word]," Donna Williams said. The note was signed "KKK."
Can you guess where this is going? "On Monday, LB Williams admitted to setting the fire and posting the notes. . . . He did it, he said, so she wouldn't proceed with the divorce she filed for. . . . It wasn't a hate crime, but a love crime."

Not that I care, but this is another example of how vapid and hypocritical these Hollyweird stars are.

If you woke up this morning feeling like maybe everything's going to be okay after all, this is why. AOL TV reports:
"'The Joy Behar Show' has been canceled. According to the Hollywood Reporter, 'The Joy Behar Show' will end its two-year run in December. The series is the second highest rated series on HLN behind Nancy Grace."
Which is a bit like losing a slamdunk contest to Michael Moore, but whatever. While this is great news for HLN viewer(s) and anyone else who's ever been subjected to the sound of Behar's voice, we should try to be sensitive to her feelings right now. Let's just hope she doesn't allow herself to become spiteful and embittered.

Explosive Email in Fast and Furious
In summary:
Smith was concerned enough to forward Cook's email straight to Jim Needles, the ATF Phoenix supervisor in charge of agents Voth and MacAllister. Cook's warning that "Phoenix should start preparing their explanations...about their straw purchases," his knowledge of "2000 weapons" and Agent's Terry's death can only mean a lot of people knew about Fast and Furious way before Mr. and Mrs. Terry buried their son.

http://tinyurl.com/784ecf4
A decade ago, politicians and the press routinely reported on gun stores across the nation that had the most traces for firearms recovered by police. In 2003, under pressure from the gun lobby, Congress passed a law that hid from public view the government database that contained the gun tracing information.
The Washington Post has obtained the names of the gun dealers nationwide with the most traces over the past four years. In addition, The Post has uncovered the names of the dealers, all from border states, with the most traces from guns recovered in Mexico over the past two years.
In these paragraphs, Grimaldi and Horwitz admit up front that their sources have violated federal law, called the Tiahrt Amendment. We now know who at least one of those federal sources that the Washington Post used for that story was -- William "Gunwalker Bill" Newell, Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix Field Division.

I scrolled down the list. Numerous people said they were home. Their locators pinpointed their locations. I touched the buttons and saw their locations on Google Earth. And there was one Afghan friend. I could see exactly where he was in Kabul. He is an avowed enemy of the Taliban. They have threatened to kill him. I emailed at once saying to turn that thing off. I know where you are. If he did not email back very quickly, I was going to call. He emailed back, confirmed his location and turned it off.

Lots of cars on my college campus have the Obama 2012 stickers on them.
I work next to a golf course where golf balls go flying into our parking lot all of the time hitting cars and sometimes employees. We had a auditor out recently from another state. She drove her personal vehicle here - and yes - the windshield was smashed with a golf ball. Icing on the cake was the 'Obama 2012' sticker on her car. Being a true believer - she wanted us to pay for it. Sorry lady - no dice.

One carpenter will make you custom caskets, whatever you like. One man who loves Pabst Blue Ribbon had one custom made to look like the can of beer. He is far from dead so he keeps it in his garage as uses it as a cooler for his Pabst, of course, during parties. Who says America doesn't have great ideas anymore!!??

I have a US Marine Logo, a US Navy Logo, and a Vietnam Veteran logo on the back window of my (old beatup) pickup truck.
I tend to park as close to vehicles with O'ClusterF*ck stickers as I possibly can. Sometimes when I'm exiting the grocery store, I enjoy watching the huffy bitches who typically arrive in pairs try to figure out how to get back into their car.
If they keyed my vehicle, nobody would notice anyway.

Guy I know told me this AM about an incident in Binghamton last week involving him and his SUV. Seems he was at a restaurant and when he came out 4 people were around the vehicle, one was just starting to key it. He removed the keys briskly from this clown, and while standing over him asked "Whose are these (holding the keys)". Person on the ground said "mine", So Joe threw the keys up on the flat roof or the restaurant, got in his vehicle and drove off. I was surprised at the mild--for him- response, but it was funny anyway.

"That's just crazy talk. Somebody lock this guy up - his tinfoil hat doesn't fit."
The trouble is I'm just looking at this from Teh Won's sorry ass point of view - not my own. I simply asked myself the question: "If I were a narcissistic mass murderer how would I try to get away with it?"
Everybody please ask yourself that question.
Somebody please Give El Presidente a hypothetical way out of it that doesn't involve covering up hundreds of mass murders with so many bodies that a couple of hundred just vanish into the statistical noise.
