Deja Poo...

OK. Designer Danny Ortega is back in office as the president of Nicaguara...and the Democrats control the House (and maybe the Senate too)...

Is it the early eighties again??? Not really, judging from my reflection in the mirror...just wishful thinking on my part...

COMBAT..vs...WAR.

I was wading through some of the boxes of stuff I have in storage and I came across my old footlocker and see-wee bag. (duffel bag to you non-airborne types)...
I discovered all sorts of items that I had not remembered in years, maybe decades...I found a couple pair of my old boots...jungle boots still with mud from
you-know-where caked on the soles...ancient OD wool socks that we wore...(for those who wore socks, some didn't), OD undershirts and boxers...barely used because no one wore underwear in the bush, it was too hot for that (boxers size 30...that'll never happen again)...OD towels that you carried to keep your face/head dry in the bush (as if you could be dry) And on and on through memories from a few pictures and letters and other such emphenera as a young soldier will accumulate...

Then it hit me...My socks, boots, shorts, towels, dog tags et al all have more time in combat that John Kerry does...I remember old SSG Ashton telling me on day one...
War is hell, but Combat is a motherfucker...I guess Johnny-boy had a war.

Be afraid.

What is the most terrifying part of the upcoming election??? I think there are two responses to that...one, it the absolute dearth of really good candidates...(not at all unusual...after all, look at the White House)...but even scarier, but almost amusing, is how even a modest victory by the Dems next week will play out.


One part is the elevation of some of these dolts to be Committee Chairs...like Charlie Rangel...and watching Pelosi try to keep her pals from going on a massive vendetta against Bush & Co. will be one hell of a fight...(SIDEBAR: Articles of Impeachment against Bush have already been drawn up...Apparently the idea of President Cheney isn't enough to dissuade them.) I know that Pelosi wants to create and maintain party discipline for two years to show that they can in fact govern...That alone will be nearly worth the price of admission...

BUT

Watching old ZOWIE HOWIE Dean take credit for this victory will be even better. Zowie Howie is far enough to the left to be able to call Fat Teddy Kennedy a fascist. I am betting that Zowie Howie will consider himself the architect of all that happens good next week...and will try to drag the Dems even closer to his own political philosophy. And let us not overlook his own presidential ambitions...

I am of the belief that Bush is the best Democrat there is...
he has so badly fucked the Republican Party that it may not recover for quite a while...(see: 1972). He and Dicky and Rummy and the rest of the neo-nutbars have do so very much damage that the voters are unlikely to be very trusting of the GOP (on a national scale) any time soon...I have been saying since the first year of W's first term that he is to the GOP what Jimmy Fucking Carter was to the Democrats in the late seventies. Every day W & Crew get in their little clown car (with Dickie driving) and cruise around like the Keystone Kops mixed up with the Marx Brothers chasing the Three Stooges...and they call it governing.

Yup...Tuesday will be a big day...get ready to pay higher taxes...

Yesterday was HALLOWEEN...

I tried to post this picture, along with a few others, yesterday...the problem is that Blogger.com now has twenty-trillion subscribers and they were all uploading pictures at the same time I tried...so I am late...BFD.

What is best in life...

One of the things in life that brings me the absolute most amusement, even glee, is when someone who is known to be a dolt of the highest magnitude manages to continually up that magnitude level in ways that even a math guy couldn't fathom.
Case-in-point...Johnny Fucking Kerry...Junior senator from the Commonwealth of Socialism (aka MA), and well known Naval warrior extrodinaire...

I won't reiterate his comments here as even the biggest Luddite will be familiar with them by now...I will simply attach the picture sent to the media by some troops in the Iraqi AO...But I must add that I think it is totally bloody wonderful that Johnny-boy is stepping on his dick this early in the race for '08...the speed at which other dem's pounced on his ass illustrates so very clearly that he hasn't got a shot in hell at running again...even as the number two...(which he wouldn't take anyway)...
So, John, SYANORA...dumbass!!
