TSO begs for a date
Ladies, times are getting tough for poor Thus Spake Ortner. Apparently he’s taken to getting dating advice from interviews at Right Wing News – and he’s really scared now. I hate to see the kid suffer, so won’t someone please give the veteran cum law student a break?

So, what’s the problem? Hot conservative chicks? You are breaking my heart John! Let him “suffer,” if it helps him focus on what may be the single-most-important decision of his life. All of us are different. There is no universal solution. Even if the woman of your dreams seems to be the “perfect solution,” that may not seem true 20 or 30 years down the line (BTW, I’m still married to my wife of 30 years). The “secret” of marital togetherness is nothing more that absolute stubborness! An absolute willingness to make a choice, and then MAKE it happen. If TSO can make that choice, then all the power to him. If his selected bride can make an equal commitment, then all the same to her! It takes two to “tango.” Let him, and her (whomever she may be) make that decision.
If, on the other hand, there is some basis to mock TSO, then what the hell? So long as he understands that “it” is among friends, who desire all the best for him and her.

I checked out his site, so I know that it was satire. In e-mails, however, he called me “sir.” I was an enlisted Airborne Infantryman, so I have a visceral dislike of being called “sir.” My current “exalted” protocol rank doesn’t mean anything to me, except that the military people that I’ve dealt with should understand that the Department of Justice would sell me down the river without a paddle to achieve whatever political outcome they desired, without concern whether my advice was accurate or not.
For example, if I were active in the field, I would counsel EVERY ground-combat grunt to NOT engage the enemy in close-quarters combat. ESPECIALLY NOT Marines. Their command structure seems to be specially targeting their ground combat troops for abuse. I’ve seen MNF-Iraq videos of Apache attacks engaging enemy troops in situations that would otherwise lead to the court-martial proceedings against ground troops. I am rather unusually informed about Command-Influence issues, and I strongly suspect that the Marines are Unduly effected by unlawful Command Influence issues, especially with Congressman John Murtha at the helm. We are fighting an enemy at home that is more pernicious than the Enemy in the field.
I cannot “do” lunch this Friday, however, because our Section’s “Administrative Professional” recognition was put off until this Friday. Let’s arrange another day, because TSO’s employment issues deserve a discussion.
I pretty much exist to draw fire.
Trust me, the Artist known as TSO has virtually no shame, and enjoys the good humor of friends and colleagues!
A shame you shan’t be joining us, and nary a “sir” shall raise it’s ugly head again. Military College unfortunately beat that into me though.

Jonn – Do you know what they call the guy who obtains the girl for the guy??????????
What is the fine for pandering on the ‘Net?
More importantly who was interviewing “Conservative Female Bloggers” and didn’t contact me????? I am a life-long Republican. I have fired a gun (as the pic on my blog proves). I have a blog and at least three people read me every day. I have the requisite two “X” chromosomes. WTF?
Jonn wrote: Well, Maggie, since no one has interviewed you yet, when I finally get some readers, I’ll get to do the first ever interview with you for my wildly successful “must read” blog. I hope you don’t mind waiting.
Today was the usual un-scheduled Day from Hell with immediate action assignments. Hopefully, other days this week will not be so stressful. I am usually free after about 3:30 P.M. each day (it’s a government-scheduling thing), so pick a day and a place. I work for the Government, with a family to support, so I’m a cheap-ass bastard, so don’t invite me to an expensive place! This Friday is out, but (as far as I know, nobody else has long-range plans on my Fridays) I should be free for any other Friday (unless that day goes to Hell like today did).
By the way, CONGRATULATIONS for the recognition, John, on the the Talon.us and Eagles.Up recognition! As I’ve told you before, I think your blog is great, and you deserve the recognition. (I like “The Sniper,” too, but the “Man-Meat” photos make me wonder…. I LIKED Chrissy, but she bailed, when I was trying to match her up with Lt. Nixon!)
TSO isn’t the only one looking for date! And I’ll take ladies of all political leanings: conservative, liberal, scientologist, raelian, etc.

Hey, speaking as a “swabbie doxie”, so named by John of the Castle of Argghhh! I resent your comment to Lt. Nixon.

Jonn replied to LT Nixon in #6: Knowing that you are a Navy “O”, we are already aware of your standards.
Hey! You better watch yourself, Jonn. This is getting a little too personal…my oldest daughter is married to a Navy “O”…and they are very well suited for each other.
