Protests/Rallies
Nobel Peace Prize Huh?
It is quite apparent our current CINC is developing a curious track record? James Taranto notes with a certain irony: We are not the first to make this observation. “For a president who promised to end the gunslinger ways of his predecessor, Barack Obama has proven himself comfortable with the use of lethal force,” the […]
Shamar Thomas: Adam Kokesh’s heir apparent.
It seems our newest military street performer has hit facebook and doing his best follow the road taken by Adam Kokesh when he did fake patrols to protest the Iraq war. So in addition to the video that I talked he has been busy being a perfect photo prompt with Micheal Moore and Keith O’brien. […]
In Honor of the VVAW
I didn’t see any heavy ground combat, and didn’t earn any heavy duty medals… But I do like a good sea story. They begin “This ain’t no shit…”
Useful Idiots
I’ve made a fairly earnest effort to understand ANY point the OWS folks are trying to make. One of the oldest rules of warfare is “Know Your Enemy” after all. Simply pointing and laughing, although fun, is a dangerous tactic once the numbers reach a sort of critical mass. A herd made up of a […]

Until 1951 the US Navy was governed by the Articles for the Government of the United States Navy, also known as Rocks and Shoals for this bit: The punishment of […]
Almost Heaven…
The Wife and I will be heading out to vote shortly. What happens here in West Virginia today might be a bellwether of sorts. GOP Sees Upset in W.Va. Governor Race Bill Maloney, a Republican running on an anti-establishment ticket, has enough momentum to become the next governor in true-blue West Virginia, party insiders hope. […]
Huh? Odd priorities.
Here in WV unions have a cachet of no small note. The Battle of Blair Mountain serves as a non-trivial footnote. Yet… We have this: Hundreds of Longshoremen stormed the Port of Longview early Thursday, overpowered and held security guards, damaged railroad cars, and dumped grain that is the center of a labor dispute, said […]
A Young Cindy in the Making?
Grief is an odd thing. It’s quite real, and has a place most of us can recognize. But sometimes it takes on a form that requires either additional pity or speculative rancor to deal with from the outside? Cindy Sheehan is one case in point, now we seem to have another. Army Ranger’s widow expelled […]
