David Maraniss: Obama’s military connection
Washington Post’s David Maraniss reaches out and gives the Obama campaign a happy ending today in what can only be considered a real piece of crap entitled “Obama’s military connection“. Maraniss tells us that Obama was born to be commander-in-chief of the military because he knew people who knew people who had been in the […]
Single arrest in Norfolk mob beating

Actually I have more respect for women who lay back and allow their bodies to be used […]
That which Jimbo has wrought
Apparently, we’ve stumbled upon a problem that is more widespread that we thought at first. COB6 sends; I am very disappointed that you chose to post the merciless and disturbing photo of the former SF soldier senselessly destroying innocent shrubbery. Surely you realize that this can only trigger other veterans with repressed rage against innocents! […]
