Troopathon!
— Ace

I actually didn't know this was going on.

But it's been going on all day. A cyberthon for care packages for the troops.

S.E. Cupp is on now. She seems to be bartering pictures and stuff for donations.

I don't know how they don't hit $500,000.

Now Breitbart is up.

Goal Exceeded! $507,000!

6 What's this about blowjobs from SE Cupp if you donate 5 grand?

7 I've been watching since I got home from work (and yes, contributed again this year). I have such a crush on Breitbart.

8 I work in Sen. Toomey's office (seriously, I do). How much protection money do I need to donate to keep Ace out of my boss's garbage?

9 And if you miss the live show, Move America Forward will still take your contributions.

He is too busy rummaging through your boss's collegue from Florida's refuse to pay any mind.

I mentioned earlier my company is privileged to have a close relationship with Ft. Hood, and we "adopt" a unit each year. Having spoken with soldiers from the 1/7 CAV, and the 3rd ACR, I can tell you the stuff in these care packages are things they really really appreciate.

Once you have placed the 5 grand in an escrow account, you may have your people contact my people to begin negotiations.

16 Just contributed. May my paltry donation lift the spirits of at least one of our brave servicemen or women.

Thank you all and God bless.

17 10 That's a relief, although I gave just to be on the safe side. Please, PLEASE do not tell Ace about the Full Faith and Credit Act.

Posted by: Jeff in PA at June 23, 2011 07:12 PM (45WVs)

18 Oh, yay, it's up to over $417,000 now. Morons are such good peeps.

Posted by: Peaches at June 23, 2011 07:15 PM (afUO8)

19 Made a donation - wish it could have been more. Thanks for letting me know this was going on.

26 SE Cupp is the girl you want to go to bed with, but MKH is the one you want to wake up with, IMHO.

On behalf of my wife and son (both active duty; son currently in A-stan) and myself (disabled vet; retired), I thank you all. Unless you have served, you simply cannot know what it means to feel like you're backed by your People. It's part of the 'psychological paycheck' that military people need to make up for the short pay and long hours.

So, thank you, Moron Nation; it is without price, and it is just as vital as JP-4 or radios to the people we send to do the hard and dangerous things for the rest of us.

No, thank you & your wife and son. What little we give can never compare to the sacrifices you make on our behalf.

God Bless you all.

Care Packages is such a worthy cause.

30 The day after his 24th birthday, he left with most of the battalion for a slash 'n' dash fighting patrol out to Apache country that lasted almost a month (it was supposed to be two weeks). They went all the way into the hills that haven't had an American presence in almost four years. They brought back everybody, no wounded, but Johnny Taliban can't make the same claim. The lad was in Iraq in '08 (at the same time my wife was in Afghanistan; I was in HELL, and refer to that time as The Year of The Ulcer), and never fired his weapon. Well, he fired it this time, and quite a bit. (He's a roof gunner with a 40mm grenade launcher.)

He got back to the FOB two days ago, and just picked up the MASSIVE box that we sent to him and his squad, full of all kinds of stuff. He's checked in safe, so me, Mom, and his beautiful wife are all breathing, eating and sleeping again. And not drinking as much.

But he's got a long stretch to go. He'll be there until next April, even though he could've come home in November, because his time would have been up. But (and I ask you: is this a fine man I've raised, or WHAT?) he said he wanted to do the full year, because he couldn't stand the thought of getting on a chopper while his guys were still there.

So, long post, but my heart is a bit full, and I am gratified by all of your support and good wishes for him and my wife and all the others that stand on the wall all around the world tonight.

I don't know how they don't hit $500,000.

Because neither Ace, nor chemjeff have a hundred large laying around.

32 Does anyone know what is in these packages? I've got to help fill some boxes and want to go beyond my usual load out of Tabasco and Gold Bond.

(I swear I put italics in the previous post.)

Been doing that with Soldier's Angels and TBI groups for years in CO during these conflicts. Sadly, lately, it has been more on the "moral support" side the last couple of months. The dude in the WH seems to be doing everyting he can to prevent me from working and providing real support like I did before.

Alas, I will be making a choice this week on which new project to choose for my next contract. All logic points to a several in TX. Probably be there in a week or so. The girlfriend is from there so there's that.

34 Donated earlier to-day. Wish I had dug deeper. My husband would worship me for a year if I got a signed pic from S.E. Cupp (I can TOTALLY understand the crush).

Posted by: Linlithgow at June 23, 2011 10:44 PM (Gim9y)

35 I mean, it's probably nothing. But it's not nothing. This was my night. This is no fun. And this isn't even my first death threat this month. And what I'm learning about these cocksuckers is they always have to bring your family into it.

Posted by: ace at June 23, 2011 10:55 PM (nj1bB)

Wrong thread, ace. But I grok whatchasayin', man.

Posted by: Bluesman at June 23, 2011 11:07 PM (XopJg)

37 yes !

38 S.E. Cupp shows her knobs and I'll empty my bank account.
