NSA on Line 4
Author: BobR    Date: 06/06/2013 12:33:42

The latest "scandal-du-jour" that is meant to taint the Obama presidency and/or lead to impeachment hearings shall be known as "the phone tapping scandal". Apparently, the FBI requested that Verizon provide phone call logs for every call its customers make. Is this oogy? Yes. Did this come from the White House? We don't know. Is this legal? Apparently.

FLOTUS doesn't suffer hecklers lightly:
“One of the things that I don’t do well is this,” she said to applause from most of the guests, according to a White House transcript. “Do you understand?”

A pool report from a reporter in the room said Obama “left the lectern and moved over to the protester.” The pool report quoted Obama as saying: “Listen to me or you can take the mic, but I’m leaving. You all decide. You have one choice.”

Ask a Vet

Good Morning.

Today is our 4,258th day in Afghanistan.

We'll start this morning as we always do; with the latest casualty figures from our ongoing war, courtesy of Antiwar.com:

US Military Deaths - Afghanistan: 2,229
Other Military Deaths - Afghanistan: 1,091

We find this morning's cost of war passing through:

$1, 444, 914, 400, 000 .00


We've got a mixed bag this morning...and yet, there's a certain "sameness" to these stories - things we've been following for months and years. Some things never change, but this time it's an unfortunate reflection of the current leadership situation, I would think.

Great Minds
Author: velveeta jones    Date: 06/02/2013 14:38:18

Let's face it, the smartest people tend to be Republicans. It's time to face facts and either join up, or dumb down. Or, if you are burdened by being of the female variety, you can become either a home-maker or a stripper; depending on your looks and abilities.

If you watched the movie Lincoln that gave Daniel Day-Lewis his 99th Best Actor Award you know just how brilliant Republicons are! Not just smart, also compassionate, kind and generous, brave, witty, and fair-minded. Just like Abe Lincoln and Jesus.

What happened to our ic
Author: TriSec    Date: 06/01/2013 12:28:32

Good Morning.

I'm not sure I can get an entire blog out of this, but I will try.

I've been increasingly miffed by the losing of part of a party name in recent years. Our Republican friends, for whatever reason, have now decided that 'Democrat" is an insult and have been using the term quite perjoratively over their airwaves.

A Monster in Our Midst
Author: Raine    Date: 2013-05-31 12:30:00

On Monday, Memorial Day, we got word that Senator John McCain took a trip to Syria.
“It was a very moving experience to meet these fighters who have been struggling now for over two years,”
McCain said on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” on Wednesday night. “And they’re very aware of the battlefield situation and they’re very disturbed about the dramatic influx of Hezbollah fighters, more Iranians, and of course, stepped-up activities of Bashar Assad.”

McCain snuck into the war-torn country on Monday, becoming the highest- ranking U.S. official to visit since the rebellion began two years ago. The United Nations estimates more than 70,000 Syrians have died in the conflict.
I would like to stress -- He went there on Memorial Day. As you read yesterday, this is what we did on Memorial day.

My Visit To Arlington
Author: BobR    Date: 05/30/2013 14:06:40

This past Memorial Day, Raine and I set out to visit Arlington National Cemetery. We'd visited before, touring the Lee house, paying tribute to the Kennedys and the eternal flame, and watching the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. That visit was sobering and serene, as we tried to find our way among the trees turning up their autumn colors.

This time.... this time was different.
