Gasp! We'll have no grabass in the ready room, gentlemen.

A former commanding officer of the famed Blue Angels aerial demonstration team was relieved of duty amid allegations of "lewd speech, inappropriate comments, and sexually explicit humor" and pornography, the Navy said Wednesday.
...
McWherter allowed "and in some cases encouraged" the sexually inappropriate misconduct in the workplace, according to Wednesday's statement.

I, for one, am shocked to find such conduct in the Navy.

In similarly shocking news, the New York Yankees cheat.

Interior decorators, graphic artists and caterers will be the only people with the correct mindset to fight our wars.

26 My God. The next thing you're going to tell me is that the Cubs have no chance to win the World Series this decade. Story time! I worked in an office with a woman who was Ever So Holier Than Thou and she attempted to cause all kinds of ruckus because some of the men who worked in the office left copies of HM in the break room. She was going on and on and on about how it was pornography and demeaning and yadda yadda and I finally snapped and blurted out "That's rich coming from someone who sits there reading red cover Harlequins." She turned every shade of red and shut up.

32 And now we have students up in arms at Washington and Lee: Student groups seem to be getting more aggressive when it comes to making demands related to Â“diversityÂ”. We reported that University of Michigan and Dartmouth students threatened Â“physical actionÂ” if their demands were not met. Now, students at a Virginia institution say they are planning Â“civil disobedience.Â” "A group of seven multiracial Washington and Lee University (W&L) students are demanding the school remove all Confederate flags from campus and Â“acknowledgeÂ” General Robert E. LeeÂ’s Â“dishonorable side.Â” According to the Roanoke Times, Â“seven multiracial students, calling themselves Â‘The Committee,Â’Â” have also demanded the school Â“acknowledge and apologize for participating in chattel slavery.Â” They want recognition of Â“Martin Luther King Jr. Day on the undergraduate campusÂ” and an end to Â“neo-ConfederatesÂ” marching across campus Â“to the Lee Chapel on Lee-Jackson Day.Â” The students say they will Â“engage in civil disobedienceÂ” if their demands are not met by September 1st. They added: Â“The time has come for us, as students, to ask that the university hold itself responsible for its past and present dishonorable conduct and for the racist and dishonorable conduct of Robert E. Lee.Â” ^^ from Legal Insurrection website Maybe they should dig up Lee's remains and hang him from a campus lamppost. if they were so bothered by his background why did they go there in the first place?

There were black men and creole who fought, willingly, on the side of the confederacy. Interesting history/personal anecdote. Well, maybe not so interesting, but I'm sharing anyway- The town where I grew up was named for the man who first vociferously advocated freeing the slaves in the South. He was an Irishman who owned no slaves, but believed strongly that the South was fighting for the Right of Self Determination- not the "right to keep slaves." His name was Patrick Cleburne.

At a press conference in Tokyo, Mr. Obama said the U.S. is bound by the terms of a 1952 treaty with Japan to come to its defense if the territory is threatened. Â“The treaty between the United States and Japan preceded my birth, so this isnÂ’t a red line that IÂ’m drawing,Â” Mr. Obama said. Â“Our position is not new. We do not believe [the islands] should be subject to change unilaterally. The treaty covers all territories administered by Japan.Â” No but what is new is having a weasel like you in the White House. I mean what are we going to come to their aid with? A decimated Military that does not have the tools to fight and can't fuck anymore either

91 Dog bites aren't that worrisome (though painful), especially if it's a neighborhood dog you know. Chances of rabies are practically nil. Cat bites are worse. Those critters be poisonous. --- not too bad, slit wound little over an inch long on my forearm, two small puncture wounds. Yeah, it was a young lab being walked by a local teen. So I figured it had had some shots. Bleeding stopped, wound is probably still weeping a bit. Been 20 years since a friend's dog latched himself onto my face on New Years. That one hurt more.

93 High school seniors cited for Nerf gun battle Police have issued disorderly conduct citations to six high school seniors in Wausau Wisconsin for a toy Nerf gun battle. Some residents of Wausau called police when they saw the young people pointing a gun at a car Tuesday night. But, it was only a toy Nerf gun that shoots foam bullets. Police Capt. Ben Bliven tells WAOW-TV a number of people were frightened by the plastic Nerf guns, so officers had to respond appropriately. One parent who saw the Nerf gun battle, Scott Hansen, says police went too far in issuing disorderly conduct citations. Wausau West High School officials have also placed some students on athletic probation.

And that doesn't even begin to get into the issue I have with officers issuing "disorderly conduct" citations because people were "frightened" of something so unthreatening as a Nerf gun. Those cops should have laughed at the callers, told the kids to behave, and the left. What the F is wrong with people?

There are those who claim the North won because they had three times as many.
If there is a dishonorable side to Robert E. Lee, please enlighten the whole class. I've read several books about him, by several stripes of historian, and have yet to hear of it, even though I am no particular partisan. Also, he was president of the college in question, saved it from bankruptcy, and raised its standards. This isn't just about That War, is it? There may be no future in being a gracious loser.

Where is the open revolt of the officers, and ESPECIALLY those that have already been "retired"? If they have been threatened with withheld retirement benefits, that's a scandal that is best confronted with a group of experienced battle hardened career officers organizing a public demonstration and airing of grievances. Are they really that intimidated by this light weight marxist asswipe?

Play the original Rome Total War and its Barbarian Invasion Expansion. The original takes place in the B.C. time period, and the game refers to the region as Judea. In the Barbarian Expansion which takes place after the Empire splits into East and West, the region is Palestine, since this was after the Jews really pissed off the Emperor and he decided to take away their homeland.

Doctor looked at MRI and said he could inject my neck from C? and help. He did that in pain clinic & it helped my neck. He does two shots in same spot two weeks apart. Once initial extra pain wore off I realized that I could stop telling time from last time I took painkiller. I told him that my shoulder hurt. he picked up arm and moved it & said there is nothing physically wrong with it. Pain is from my neck. He looked at MRI while we were in room doing second injection & he said he could inject me on left side in C? IÂ’m not sure of which discs he injected but the neck injection wore off in 9 months but the one for shoulder & arm lasted almost three years. Thank you. HeÂ’s doctor that specializes in neck and back pain. I like him. HeÂ’s good.

Some are obvious garden clothes, but then I noticed quite a few pairs of underwear have holes in them from rose thorns. I put a G with a permanent marker on the ones that have the most holes. It was only in the 40Â’s out. I didnÂ’t feel like chaining a third time for the day, so I just took gardening clothes off & threw in wash & put on warm clothes.

Point is a set of rules.) It's arguable this is research or at least that it's intent is research (as opposed to pure treatment which is later turned into a case study.) Partially because the professor doesn't appear to have a degree that would qualify her to treat anything. I'm willing to bet good money she never got approval for it from the IRB. (a requirement.) Rutgers was aware of it (they paid to send her with the subject to a conference.) If Rutgers got busted doing research outside of the regulations the punishment could range from "don't do that again" to "Let's take a few months freezing your NIH grants while we figure this out." The latter is certainly recoverable (ask Duke! And John Hopkins!) but quite painful. Again, just speculation, but speculation that could be shown to be true if you asked the right things in discovery.

241 The future of the U.S. military ? Look to the Belgian model . They can't mobilize a full up rifle platoon more than 50 miles from their barracks . Well, to put a twist on the old kings saying . When the revolution comes , they won't be ready .

243 230 Sven, IÂ’ll read occasionally at Hot Gas but never post. Some of those people are vicious. They were all Palinistas in 2011 & 2012. Some were lovers of Palin & others haters. The comment section there is usually a few lefty trolls successfully trolling the others.

248 In the future military, instead of spending time on the range or on maneuvers, they will be in sexual harrassment and tolerance classes with the odd "Seven Healthy Habits" class thrown in for good measure. Of course, Community Organizing For The Complete Idiot will be required prior to separation.

First female pilot in the squadron, they were trying to come up with a call sign for her that wouldn't be...suggestive. She said "Imma kick the ass of the first one of you clowns to call me Sugar Tits" and one of the JO's said "No problem ST" so from there on...she was Este.

253 Wait, I read the article, she's one of those "Facilitated communication" people.

Yeah, generally they're nuts.
Self-delusion is necessary to continue in that field.

(IIRC almost all of that work has been shown to be bunk, mostly related to various forms of confirmation bias.)

Posted by: tsrblke, PhD(c) (No Really!) at April 24, 2014 09:02 AM (HDwDg)

If I'm not mistaken, there was a Law and Order episode that took a dim view of "facilitated communication." Not that it's authoritative or anything, it's just interested how it was portrayed in popular culture.

254 Growing up I used to play War all the time with my friends, including using the Jap Rifle my Dad brought back from Iwo Jima and the gutted out old hand grenade he had.

I have ammo for that rifle if it was a T38. Where is it now?

255 Not that I'm offended by either one, needless to say, but I just had it with listening to little miss prissy priss be all offended because oh noes girls in bikinis lying about when she is reading about Captain William Smythe ravaging the innocent and reluctant yet strangely enthralled Miss Primrose Worthington.

My Dad said that I should apply my [modest] skills as a writer to churning out romances because (A) a competent writer can write anything and (2) it's formulaic. I considered this but then realized that I would have to read them to write them and I just can't set my testicles aside long enough to do that.

256 If that is going to be typical of their "explanations", VOX should seriously consider changing its name to something like "POX", to work in the propaganda angle. Or they could just go with "RUG".

258 Posted by: Insomniac at April 24, 2014 09:20 AM (DrWcr) I am to understand it's inspired by a few real court cases where stuff turned out to be basically made up. Do you occasionally get a few "Helen Keller" Moments, where you have someone who just needs a nudge towards communication? Sure. This is probably more true in autism, which is something we still don't have a lot of understanding about with regards to development and such. But the FC advocates want to claim it's great everywhere! And it always works! No.

259 IIRC, the Philistines were imported by the Romans into the region to displace the Jews. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at April 24, 2014 08:45 AM (CMkNk) No. The Phillistines were propbably a part of the "people of the sea" that rampaged around the eastern Med right after the time of the Trojan wars, and probably were part of the Greek groups that were involved. This was a Volkwanderung at the end of the Bronze age and far before the Romans had developed. Basically the Phillistines had conquered a chunk of the Canaanite bronze age civilizations and settled down. (other groups had conquered Libya, Sicily and attacked Egypt at that time and had varying success) They are shown in images from Egypt to be dressed and armored like the Mycenaean age warriors. Even at the time the Hebrew state was at best embryonic, and there is argument about whether the Hebrews were there at the time, or were filtering down as settling pastoralists into the vacuum caused by the collapse of the Canaanite civilization. An interesting book on the subject, and quite readable, is Egypt, Canaan, and Israel in Ancient Times by Donald Redford. Worth a read.

I called and had it moved. I don't like 2 appointments in one day. And with this doc I especially don't like afternoon appointments.
