2014 Blue Falcon Stolen Valor Tournament, South Regional
UPDATE: VOTING NOW CLOSED, GO VOTE IN NORTH REGIONAL.
South Regional
1 Seed v. 16
1) Frank Visconi, The Blowfish, Embellisher
CLAIM: Bronze Star w/V, 2 Purple Hearts, Combat Action Ribbon, and the Presidential Unit Commendation
TRUTH: It took no less an authority than the 6th US Circuit Court and the US Marine Corps to finally prove he made that up.Talk about sticking to your guns, dude fought his phoniness all the way to the Circuit Court. The problem is, his story wasn’t even internally consistent, as he vacillated on whether he’d ever been actually awarded the medals or not.
But he did earn those medals the hard way: He had to use the google, find some blank certificates, and just award them to himself. A sign of a true hero.
16) Steve Cushman, Wakulla Wanderer, Embellisher
CLAIM: Politician claiming “Air Force Pilot”
TRUTH: Survey says: PFC.This guy’s story is too mundane for me to even riff on after a night of shitty sleep, but can we just ponder a world where PFC’s are allowed to fly airplanes? Holy shit. I couldn’t even get my guys to ensure that the .50 Cal was mounted properly on the pintle. When we did a relief in place an MP unit replaced us, and they had real girls. I told the SPCs and PFCs to get the vehicles ready for our right seat ride and went into the BDOC to make sure we had the comms and patrol route. We come out, take a right on Rt Disney on Bagram and the whole machine gun goes sliding into the other lane, nearly hitting a supply sergeant on his golf cart.
And this guy wants them to fly planes? Holy shit is that scary.
8 Seed v. 9
8) LTC Gerald Green, RANGER: R is for R-tard, A is for A-Hole, Embellisher
CLAIM: Ranger, Sapper
TRUTH: Not so much.Let me get this straight, they put a guy in charge of pre-RIP without verifying his Ranger Status? That is such an Army thing to do. Is a Sapper badge something really worth faking? I guess I don’t know enough about the 12 series or whatever they are to know if that is impressive. I just assumed everyone in a engineering unit was a sapper. And I’m befuddled that the Guard chose this guy. Not exactly our best or brightest. He’s like the Oakland Raiders of the National Guard.
9) Michael Schrenk, Sword swinger, Embellisher
CLAIM: Marine SSG with a ton of shit I don’t recognize. And a sword.
TRUTH: Honorable service in the Navy.Say what you will, but it takes some balls to show up at the Erie County Fair in upstate New York on Veterans Appreciation Day wearing that get up and carrying a sword. Has anyone else added the sword to their fashion label in Stolen Valor? Not that I remember. Good call though. I’m going to start claiming I am a SF Lieutenant Sergeant and carry around a halberd.
Honest question: how do you serve honorably in the Navy and not even know how to wear the Marine Corps shit correctly? I was in the Army and I still know he’s got everything on the wrong side.
5 Seed v. 12
5) Peter Lawler, From Beirut to Black Friday, Embellisher
CLAIM: Beirut veteran, combat wounded Marine, Purple Heart, PTSD
TRUTH: Got an OTH as an E1, subsequently upgraded to Under Honorable Conditions. Also, a registered sex offender.This guy’s arrest record is prolific beyond belief. I think I wore out the scrolling button on my mouse reading all his shit at Scotty’s place. Two things about this guy though…first, he actually apologized. That generally doesn’t happen. His kind of sucks, but what did you expect. Second, he was in jail on a sex offender charge and “escaped out a back door.” Not exactly Shawshank Redemption. And so while on the lam he apparently tried to chat up some 17 year old girl who one article said got “creeped out.” Well, no shit. Dude is no Andy DuFresne. Best line of that movie: “We oughta be able to file this under educational.” Alexander Dumbass.
12) Gil Gilbertson, Golden Idol of Oathkeepers, Embellisher
CLAIM: Navy-trained diver and trained in ordnance disposal went from E-5 to O-6 in six years.
TRUTH: No, No and No.What the hell is in the Oregon waters to make these guys act like this? The first thing though is that if I ever called someone, and they answered the phone with “Ahoy!” I would immediately call them a douche, hang up the phone, block the number, and kill a puppy. Anyway, he left the Air Guard as an E-5 in 1992, but he claims he was a contractor for the State Department and went to Kosovo and that he was a colonel in his campaign literature this year. I’m assuming he lost his race, but I don’t even have the energy to look it up.
You know what is worse than Navy EOD diver school? Running out of Ambien a week before you can renew. (Not coincidentally, that is my excuse for the lameness of today’s post.) Last night I hit the NyQuil and Excedrin PM and had some dream loosely based on the last episode of Star Trek Next Generation with my buddy Superbowl6Romeo playing the part of Q. Even Gil Gilbertson can’t get me excited to write these today.
4 Seed v. 13
4) Jim Van Fleet, Dude got Nois’d, Embellisher
CLAIM: US Navy SEAL
TRUTH: Coast Guard AuxiliaryThere are only basically 3 rules in life you need to follow: 1) Never get involved in a land war in Asia, 2) never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line, and 3) if you have Lilyea, Hair Shipley and/or Dan Nois on your ass, RUN.
Like I said brah, run.
13) Keith Keeton, Schwarzkopf’s Shadow, Embellisher
CLAIM: Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Paratrooper
TRUTH: No, no and no.I feel reading this like the old lady sitting next to Forrest at the bus stop: Such a lovely story, and you tell it so well. The story he tells is that, as a staff sergeant, he was receiving the surrender of an Iraqi general when he was shot by his Saudi translator’s pistol (the first victim of a green-on-blue attack), earning a Purple Heart, and as an engineer, he killed an Iraqi T-72 tank, despite the fact that Engineers don’t have an anti-armor capability once they leave the cover of the infantry unit to which they’re attached.
Saw that shit in saving Private Ryan, he used his happy sock and C4 to blow the shit up. Everyone for 100 miles was covered in semen. Kind of like the time Andy Dick went to an N’Sync show.
2 Seed v. 15
2) Gregory Banks, Masonic Massacre if ought 14, Valor Thief
CLAIM: SF, multiple week long hunt and kill missions overseas between visits to Masonic lodges, Bronze Star.
TRUTH: No service located.I like the cut of this guy’s jib. (Ahoy!) He’s kind of like the Equalizer or the A-Team, just going from town to town, setting things right that once went wrong, and hoping the next leap will be the one home or something. You know how you can tell a real hero? When he has his Mom write him a letter backing up all his claims, suggesting that everything he did was top secret and/or that the military is out to get him.
The fact that this dude was giving out psychiatric advice is scary. Really scary. Physician, heal thyself.
15) Cody Stermer, X-Box Commando, Valor Thief
CLAIM: CW1, Blackhawk Pilot, Stabbed at Boot Camp
TRUTH: Unknown, but certainly not that.Again, two things I love about this guy. The first is the juxtaposition on Scotty’s site of this guy in MOPP-4, and right above it him in a McDonald’s uniform. Fricken classic. The second is his “Plenty of Fish” profile where he talks about being a virgin. Um. Dude. You work at McDonalds and spend your days playing Call of Duty. Chicks don’t dig guys who do that. They dig bloggers. And NFL Quarterbacks. And, occasionally other chicks. But when they do dig other chicks they usually look like the dude in the Brawny commercials. (Sorry to ruin it for you.)
Between the X-Boxing and the virgin death clutch you probably have on your crank, you should have the strongest bicep of anyone except Bender from Futurama.
7 Seed v. 10
7) Reginald Hinson, SEAL Creed Principal, Unknown
CLAIM: US Navy SEAL
TRUTH: Nope. (Top Secret defense.)Stephanie Scurlock may be my new secret crush. Dude, she totally just walked in there and confronted this clown. Fearless. She and Nois should hook up if they are single and create super SEAL Pretender Outing Children.
10) Irving Rice, Bamboo Cage and Viet Cong Children, Embellisher
CLAIM: POW Camp escapee
TRUTH: Air Force Mechanic, no POW record“I saw a little Vietnamese boy crying,” Rice said with a faraway look in his eyes. “I decided to go down to check this out, to see if he is in trouble. I wanted to see if there is anything wrong. Little did I know that that one little trip down there would change my life forever. I had no clue there was a Viet Cong unit down there.”
I get that same faraway look when people tell me they are all hot for Taylor Swift. I don’t know, there’s something about her not quite right. Reminds me of a warning from Peter Griffin that went something like “that’s like going up against Kirsten Dunst in a hot body/ugly face contest.” She’s got a pretty good suspension, but the grill seems a bit amorphous to me. Like she might despawn at any second.
6 Seed v. 11
6) George Manos, Hands of Fate, Face of THOR, Valor Thief
CLAIM: Army Ranger/Special Forces major
TRUTH: State MilitiaDude is a “Knight of Malta” and “President of Village Apothecary.” Handy traits those. I guess he’s some sort of healing paladin? Looks like his panacea is eye of newt, heaping pile of bullshit to me, but what do I know. Best part of this though is a comment left on Merchant Circle [.com]’s website about THOR.
“Hello, I am Laura Billey by name from united kingdom. Greetings to every one that is reading my wonderful testimony. I have been rejected by my husband after three(3) years of marriage just because another woman had a spell on him and he left me and the kid to suffer. one day when i was reading through the web, i saw a post on how this spell caster called Dr Eboehi of eboehispellcaster@gmail.com have help a woman to get back her husband and i gave a reply to his e-mail address and he told me that a woman had a spell on my husband and he told me that he will help me and in 24 hours that i will have my husband back. i believed him and today i am glad to let you all know that this spell caster have the power to bring Husband back and so many other things. because i am now happy with my husband.”
Someone find me that spell caster, Dr. Eboehi, we need a fifth for our World of Warcraft team.
11) Kirjath Toney, Tony, Oscar, Golden Globes, he’s got ‘em all, Embellisher
CLAIM: Purple Heart, CIB, a Silver Star and a Bronze Star
TRUTH: Well, he has a National Defense Service Medal, that’s the same thing isn’t it?Little known Toney Fact: He used to be 6’7” tall, but carrying all that shit around he’s now 4’11” and playing in a midget octogenarian basketball league. What kind of name is Kirjath. To be honest, I kind of like it. I expected him to be all Gurkha, and instead I got a wrinkly Caucasian dude. I’d never heard of the “Independent Order of Odd Fellows” but that also is kind of a cool name. I mean, it doesn’t have the cache of “Stolen Valor Mafia” or whatever Wittless is calling us now, but it does have a nice ring to it. He has 5 runs on his Expert Badge, I wonder if they include the sling, because dude looks old enough to have been there when that fellow Davy killed Goliath, his anthropomorphic dog.
3 Seed v. 14
3) Richard Rahn, Minnesota Madman, Valor Thief
CLAIM: dude has 1 of everything I think. Ranger, CIB, and enough years deployed to account for the entire War on Terrah.
TRUTH: Not a CSM, but he is a felon.OMG the shades on his head totally sell it, don’t they? I don’t know though, the second star on his CIB seems to insist upon itself, not unlike The Godfather. There’s something seriously creepy about this dude’s face, and then it dawned on me….he’s the bad guy from the execrable Ghostbusters II. (Vigo, the Scourge of Carpathia)
14) Kenneth Goldstein, Phony CPO Lawyer whose name is not Bernath, Embellisher
CLAIM: JAG and wounded combat veteran
TRUTH: Coast Guard PO.My buddy, Dr. Sheldon Cooper once said “Well, looks like I was wrong. There is no law of diminishing returns with regards to space poop.” This dude looks like a full on deuce floating around the space shuttle after a Russian tried to expel a 40 ounce porterhouse. I love that the dude used PTSD to get out of an arraignment. “Oh, you have PTSD? Then you are free to go, and we apologize for the inconvenience.”
They should charge him with theft, because if that hair isn’t stolen straight from one of those little Troll dolls than I’m Tom Brady’s catamite.

Category: Politics
SCREW YOU GUYS….It’s practically IMPOSSIBLE to pick between some of these shitbags.
Fuck Visconi but I want to just fucking punch my monitor over that smarmy Steve Cushman.
I guess I have to read the actual Stolen Valor details without emotion and TRY to determine a vote upon the validity of those facts.
Still doesn’t make me want to throat punch and cock drop kick any of these fucktards any less.
Every time I cast a vote I get that “left the iron on” feeling. Like there was some material fact I left out that could have swayed my decision. I would feel better if there was more than one winner. Maybe like a Homecoming Court with a King and Queen. Ray Davis would look great with a Court Jester hat. A deck of cards would work too. Paul Dean Fultz already has the Joker outfit.
So many posers/embellishers, so few awards.
I would still love an Academy Award style competition complete with:
-Best Sock Puppet
-Best Lying Politician
-Best Soup Sandwich
-Best location of a SF, Ranger and/or SEAL tattoo
-Most ex-wives
-Best jacked up uniform
-Funniest drunk dial to Jonn
-Best *lawer* letter
-Best Don Shipley phone call
-Best nonprofit scammer
-Best VA scammer
-Best Government Contract Scammer
-Most outrageous Vietnam Story
-Most outrageous Iraq/Afghanistan story
-Best trans poser/embellisher
-Best News Investigative Reporter interview excuses
-Best inanimate object use: shovel, old police car etc.
The possibilities/categories are endless!
I’m thinking that these categories can be used in a spreadsheet to help determine seeding in the next tourney.
Each category hit would be a negative point. The lowest number gets the #1 seed and so on.
It would require someone who reads TAH daily to keep up with it. The more check marks you get the higher the seed. It needs to be complied by someone with a military background as well.
Of course any pedo gets higher seeding IMHO.
This ranking system would need to be implemented ASAP so that it will be easier to keep up with.
Oh shit … That is gold and you are to sumthin’.
Next year!
I politely disagree, I think we should go with a stats/Points system.
These are all military fakers so maybe a fake Army promotion points system
Something like this
Awards
Fraudulent MoH 100 points
Fraudulent POW medal 100 points
Fake Purple Heart 75 points ea
Fraudulent DSC/NC/AFC 50 points ea
Fruadulent Silver star/bronze star 40 points ea
Fraudulent Navcom/Arcom/AFcom with v 25 points ea
Fake CIB/CAB/CMB/ CAR/CAM 25 points ea
Fake campaign medals 5 points ea ( Bonus points for campaigns that you weren’t old enough to even be in the military for)
( Double bonus points for campaigns you weren’t even alive for)
Bullshit ribbons that make no sense ( IE nato ribbons, ribbons from other services , etc.) 2 points each
ROTC/JR ROTC/State Guard ribbons 1 point each
Civilian Shools
Fake Associates 6 points
Fake BA/BS 10 Points
Fake Masters 15 Points
Fake PhD/EeD 25 points
Fake MD/DD/DvM/ PsyD 30 points
Fake LEO Academy 10 Points

Sock Puppetry 5 points

LMAO With a point system like that I’d give a shot at ultra poser.
For example:
No shit there I was humping George Washington’s bones while telling Davy Crockett about how I saved the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock from Christopher Columbus and Typhoid Mary, when the Confederates ambushed us supported by a platoon of Japs. I dove left and Davy rolled right, which is why the Alamo fell.
*I think the points system could be abused*
Of course I’m forgetting stuff and it will be up to Jonn and his team of Sr. NCOs and Officers/ TaH staff members to clean up the idea and set up the cutoff scores, but I think it would be an easier way to vote every year.:D
I had to ask myself “Which face would I want to kick the most?” on every vote.
Geez Louise this is a TOUGH division. I just want to vote for them all!
My point *EXACTLY*.
Not so sure I’d go with “all”. But this region was loaded. There were at least 5 or 6 in this region who IMO would be reasonable Fecal Four candidates.
How in the hell to chose between Schrenk and Green? Damn.
Yeah Schrenk was a miserable ass but got jacked up at the fair, to be certain. Superdouche nozzle. but Green is ACTIVE DUTY and a super asshole to boot and should KNOW better.
Plus he had a metric assload of folks that worked with him that commented here that said he was a gigantic douche and liar and little bitch to have to deal with. So yeah maybe that way help.
Yes, but Schrenk looks like one of those GI Joe action figures (“Not a doll!”) from the 80s. Pretty sad when one has to depend on HASBRO for military data.
What Hondo said. That’s exactly why Green got my vote over sword swallower…
Easy – Green.
He was dumb enough to pull his sh!tbaggery while serving on active duty AT FORT BENNING, GA, and subject to the UCMJ – and his false claims included having a Ranger Tab! That takes a special kind of arrogant stupidity.
I thought about Green as well, Hondo. Being in uniform AND wearing shit he doesn’t rate just doesn’t measure up to the rank. Obviously, I’m no Ranger, but respect those guys… a lot more than Green does, evidently.
Agreed. And wearing an unearned Ranger Tab at FREAKING FORT BENNING is manifestly stupid.
Green by far. He used all of the crap on his uniform and then some to be what would have been an easy selection for COL while other good, and I’d argue better, LTCs are being tossed out the door after REFRAD boards because he was given positions that they didn’t have. His arrogance was based on his protectors in Arlington Hall, but he forgot that their influence doesn’t extend much beyond George Mason Ave., and especially when the active component has UCMJ authority on his butt. Screw him, and screw him hard.
OK, done, but DAMN was that painful.
I think I got teh cooties *and* PTSD.
I’m on the phone with the VA right now.
Post TSO Survey Disorder?
Not to fear, another will be along shortly…
In NYC you don’t need to go into the VA to get your PDTS drugs … You just buy them outside on the sidewalk from fake Vets who just made their way through the pharmacy line.
God Bless America!
Voted .. Round 2 love it, brings back some horrible moments.. Got to throw out a shout to Banks…
Greg Banks is my personal favorite in this group. I would love to see a faceoff between Banks and William Derek Church!
Honestly, I didn’t find this one to be too tough–and I got to use my racial diversity vote here. That helped. Don’t want EEO on our asses.
greggy banks, we miss you…you not gonna come back with your little friend and play with us ???
So many shitbags so little time.
“Andy Dick at an N’Sync concert.”
I couldn’t laugh harder if I tried. No, wait, I can, once Bernath gets his.
And Kirjath gets my vote. Any guy that would wear an unearned CIB and Silver Star and Purple Heart with a pair of Mickey Mouse gloves to Arlington shows a special level of chutzpah.
Stermer and Banks was a hard choice. I mean, Banks definitely caused way more harm, fooled the media, and propagated his lies way more than Stermer could have ever dreamed of doing, but still, it was so much fun bashing Stermer in the comments section.
In the end, I went for Banks, though.
I sorta follow the same line of thinking, except I think the media got duped by Banks because, well… they allowed it. Stermer, on the other hand? It’s difficult to decide who’s the biggest loser among the two.
True. In the end, though, I think Banks’s lies harmed a lot more people. At then end of the day, as big of a shitbag as Stermer is, I don’t think he used his phony credentials to steal money or take jobs/awards that he was unqualified for. He was just trying to compensate for his woeful failure of a life by telling everyone he was a badass. His lies also didn’t spread nearly as far as Banks.
Banks, on the other hand, used his fake PTSD to boost his business as a counselor for veterans, duped multitudes of Mason Lodges into giving him accolades and awards he didn’t deserve, etc.
I feel a bit of a personal connection to Stermer because of all the sparring I did with him, but still, when the facts are flow charted out, it’s really no contest.
Hardest thing I’ve done all day. Man, those were some tough calls.
I wish Steve Cushman could have gone farther in the tourney, but I just have to let that one go I guess.
How much time do we get to vote again?
Weighing on which is the bigger fucktard/douchebag is a little difficult for the South Region.
CRIPES!
Stermer, stabbed in boot camp…even though it’s not true I must say I could understand that it would happen like that.
It’s pretty easy to understand how he could wind up in a pool of his own slowly spreading blood….
OK, off to bathe in Clorox to get the lingering trauma off of me.
You should do all of these descriptors while on nyquil and ambien. Comic relief is great while we decide on the votes.
Thanks for doing this guys.
A month or so ago I bought about $100 worth of Kindle Books while on Ambien and didn’t remember doing it. So now I put the ‘puter away before taking it.
(Thankfully some of my selections that night have proven to be good reads.)
When I was on Ambien I was doing the same thing. Order shit and then it was like “surprise!” wonder who bought me a present! Wife #2 put the kibosh on my credit card after the first monthly statement came in.
Bahahahahahahaha. When you wake up in another State, you didn’t fall asleep in, let us know…
For me, it was the Tequila…
I didn’t get into trouble every time I drank Tequila, but every time I got into trouble I was drinking Tequila…
That stuff took me everywhere, including more than one trip to the hoosegow…
A little off topic but TSO, have you checked out Kindel Unlimited yet?
I got the Kindle Unlimited a couple of months ago. I tear through zombie fiction 10 books at a time now.
Why does the Southern division have to be so damn tough!
I am going to stand behind Manos. (mainly because I’m scared of magic) and say that I want to see him in the final four at least.
It’s the SEC strength of schedule effect. LOL
So much fecal matter… I can’t decide which one to flush.
A medal for those of you that have trouble picking “just the right one”.
Dammit. This is one tough bracket. I’m going to have to really put some work into this for research. I may end up running the table with the underdogs for this bracket. These clowns are just too evenly matched. Fuck it. I’m in Indy and on my way to my unit’s welcome home ceremony and I have other plans tonight. I’m going to procrastinate.
Back home again in Indiana. Steak dinner coming up. Cold Veterans Lager. And the Tournament! It’s a Chris-mukkah miracle!
Hoosier daddy–or something. Cheers Mustang 1LT. Welcome back to your piece of the world.
Yeah, boy! Another sticker. This is great. Thanks CC Senor.
I keep an old bottle of Bromo-Seltzer around just for events like this. I am somewhere between nauseous and disoriented. Not sure if I should scratch my watch or wind my ass.
ɥɔɐɯoʇs ʎɯ uɹnʇ sǝɹnʇlnʌ ɹolɐʌ ǝsǝɥʇ
Damn. reading that made me queasy too. Pass the bromo
What the? How? Did you just turn your keyboard upside down? type using a mirror?
Dave Hardin just won the internet!
Are you fuchtin’ Zombie or something?
Are you a fuchtin’ Zombie or something?
Voted Oregon all the way. Gil Gilbertson has to win something this year as he lost his reelection bid for Josephine County Sheriff.
I think Phoney Toney may be the George Mason of this group and surprise us all until he gets closer to the birdbath/cheese gauntlet. Attending a military funeral while posing as a general officer with all that unearned bling, then conspiring (poorly) with his fellow oddballs to perpetuate the lie. This guy deserves his Cinderella moment.
In another region, I’d agree. But here, he’s competing with Viscunti, Fleet Enema, Greggie-pooh, Ranger Greenjeans, the Sex Offending Beirut Faker, a fake POW, and a lying felon. I don’t see how he gets past all of those.
TSO, this is the second day in a row that I sat at my desk trying to stifle my laughing. All your fault! I should have known not to take a drink before reading this.
“Big Turd” Keith Keeton!!!!
I’m with you on that one,GT. The “Big Turd” just keeps on rolling to the next round.
OK,stirred the shit burning barrel with the tent pole and voted for those that floated to the top. Pretty tough choosing at times, but clothes pinned my nose and drove on.
Without a doubt, Visconi gets my votes. He supercharged his candidacy by spending all that time and $ and effort on actually taking his Stolen Valor hallucinations to court, and then APPEALING when he lost. I have to hand it to him, he sure knows how to take a stompin’.
wow, strong field here in the second. Tough choice but politicians always suck and one that tries the stolen valor really sucks donkey dicks.
#16- you are the man
Well that left me feeling rather dirty and more than a little pissed off.
After all those candidates I found my self wanting to beat the fuck out of Jim Van Fleet the most. Not sure why he set me off so bad but in that video when he looked at the reporter and asked what difference is it to you or anyone else if I wear these medals I just felt the need to do physical violence. This turd acting out some sort of military fantasy in the Coast Guard Axillary deserves top honors and all the continued shame we can heap on him.
TSO … You are EVIL!
I lamented for 7 hours over the possibilities of my selections and the net effect on the winner Bernath.
One pick here was easy for me. Banks!
Banks, his little 18 year old male pink pajama wearing legal rep who attempted to extort money from me (while I recorded the conversation) and his mommy dearest … They can all KMRIA!
Sue me!
Ya know, Jim Vanfleet is my favorite busted poser of all. On TV and confronted. The look on his face was priceless. I would hope that posers would learn a lesson from him.
A tough, tough bracket filled with quite the collection of losers, mountebanks, deadbeats and down-and-outers.
Mounte”banks”? heh heh
Cushman because he just kept the crapstorm going, Green because I was personally affected by his douchebaggery, Banks because it takes special kind of stupid to get a fake Marine to try to scare off a retired master chief, Tooney because he first told me that he wanted to set things straight then refused to meet me and dropped me once he figured out that I know what a DD-214 is (BTW, when are those asshats supposed to be at Arlington?), and Goldstein because I love an underdog.
I’ve been waiting a while to vote for Toney, mainly because his club’s bizarre “well, he’s a general in our military order” explanation manages to be hilarious and offensive at the same time.
I’m telling you, this year has been a hard one. You spray and spary and they just crawl out of the woodwork as soon as the lights go off.
Well, I had to go with sex offenders and felons and senile, color-blind old farts. But lest we forget, Cody Stermer not only lied through his asshole about service, he also stole a photo of a PRCA pro cowboy and said it was a photo of him. So that, with Banks on deck and Toney in the bull pen, made it a difficult choice.
But they’re all made of the same stuff, y’know: bubulum stercus et suus subjectio.

Already busted, facing some serious charges. But he’ll be around for the next tourney!
http://controversialtimes.com/military/stolen-valor-ranger-facing-federal-charges-video/
he was featured on Inside Edition
http://features.aol.com/video/vet-confronts-military-imposter-mall?icid=maing-grid7%7Chtmlws-main-bb%7Cdl30%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D578876
How you vote is of course your own business…but I will tell you this: Anyone who molests a child gets my vote. I don’t mean cases where the age gap is very close, a/k/a Romeo and Juliet cases. I mean Jerry Sandusky type stuff.
Agreed!
This is a Stolen Valor tournament. It is well established that valor thieves are not one-trick ponies when it comes to bad acts. None of these clowns will be named model citizen of the year. So, it’s disheartening that a separate crime, even a despicable and horrendous one, will be the basis of any vote. (But, then, I also found it disheartening that millions voted for a community organizer whose credentials and background pointed to disaster.) Now, IF a valor thief used his poserhood to commit a separate crime, it is relevant to the vote here and, where there are at least two who did so, then I can easily see considering the type of crime each committed. Otherwise, not.
I have been through hell and pains since my husband left me and the children,it has not been easy for
through out these years,i never knew i would be celebrating Christmas with my husband this year,i never
knew a great man like pastor David still exist,i saw how he has been bringing back broken homes
together,so i contacted him and he assured me that i will have my husband back to me again only if i
believe,and he prayed on my behalf and asked me to be expecting my miracle before 48hours,i was shocked
when i received a called from my ex asking me where i was that he was very sorry for what he did.That was
how i got my ex back through the great works of Pastor David.you can reach pastor David

Frank Joseph Visconi continues to rock the lie. In an email I received yesterday Frankenweenie relates:

Oh, and look what else I found (attached).
And my former NCOIC just received his entire service records (700 plus pages) and guess what, he was awarded (in 1969) the CAR and the PUC for “actions against enemy forces while attached to FLSU#1 during the period May – September 1965…..same unit I was in where I was right beside him. He was fortunate to still be in the Corps when the CAR was authorized so his CO put him in for it for the above period. Based on that, he has sent in a recommendation for me for the CAR and the PUC for serving in the same actions during the same period.
These should just about round out my awards that you vehemently deny I deserve. I also expect that the BSM and PH will be on my record in due time. THEN, my vicious, arrogant, self-centered, narcissistic enemy #1, I am going to take you down like the fricking animal that you are.
Copies of the new editions of the phony BS and PH will be posted on Blow-fishbomber.com as soon as I can add them.
