Blogger on a Milk Carton

I have been a regular reader of Cookie over at The Cookshack. But about a month ago, he abruptly quite posting and hasn't some much as published comments on his blog. I'm sure that it isn't due to the lack of funny material or a sudden healthy love of the current Congress or the O administration. I figured that I would use the collective knowledge of the Internets and it's users to collect some information.

So, If you have seen this blogger,

or know what has happend to him, leave me a comment.

Maybe he has just defected to Myspace or Facebook and called his blog quits.

Remember those who gave all

Take some time today or tommorrow to pause and remember those who made the ultimate sacrificed for the freedom we all enjoy.

And nothing will come of it.

All the time I was in the Navy, I was entrusted with a variety of jobs that involved classified information. It was a routine part of the job, yet is was never treated as routine. It was NEVER something you used as bragging rights to impress the boys over a beer or to gain status at a meeting of a "We wear silly hats or Weird suits" club. It was just something you didn't talk about.

But apparently, the VP, being "Above the law" has seen fit to disclose classified information to schmooze the crowds and gain a laugh.

According to a report, while recently attending the Gridiron Club dinner in Washington, an annual event where powerful politicians and media elite get a chance to cozy up to one another, Biden told his dinner mates about the existence of a secret bunker under the old U.S. Naval Observatory, which is now the home of the vice president.

The bunker is believed to be the secure, undisclosed location former Vice President Dick Cheney remained under protection in secret after the 9/11 attacks.

Eleanor Clift, Newsweek magazine's Washington contributing editor, said Biden revealed the location while filling in for President Obama at the dinner.

Good old Joe, Once again filling his pie hole with his foot. Sadly, he has broken the law. Like all the other elitist in this administration, he puts himself above having to actually obey the laws that govern the "rest of us" and won't be censured or penalized in any way for this security breach.

I guess the upside is that it was the secure area designated for him, So he really has only screwed himself. Too bad that there are military and secret service personnel who are required to go in there with him in times of crisis.

Why?

There are some things in this world that just confound me on the level of sheer stupidity of the human race. Reality Shows, American Idol, Claims of serving sizes for any package of cookies or ice cream, current debate on the floor of congress that claims to be in the best interest of our nation or it's citizens.

Small things, little things when compared in the Big scheme of the cosmos.

Most are no more or no less harmful to the human condition than what we have been doing to ourselves since we were fighting with stick and stones trying to make the totem payment and keep mastodon steaks on the fire.

But alas, There are a few ingenious tool users amongst the rest of those of us with opposable thumbs that add a new wrinkle to the possibilities of our existence. Some of these have relieve us of a burden that has hindered our ascent to more time of leisure or that have just plain bedeviled us with suffering and long calls to help centers located in India. Everything from indoor plumbing to Hulu.Com.

Then there are inventions that cause you to ask yourself "Why?".

I am not talking about anything that Billy Mays screams at you about as you retreat to the kitchen for another cold frosty one, or that you would find on the shelf next to the cash register at Christmas time in the Men's dept of Macy's pre-wrapped for that last minute gift.
These are the inventions can clearly be used further enslave the human race to the will of a few. I guess you could include movable type, Radio and television among these. But, the first two have actually provided more to the greater good than the enslavement; and in my opinion the jury is still out television.
Back to my rant..

There is an inventor in Saudi Arabia, a country known for it's stalwart principles promoting freedom of thought and pursuit of liberty, that has invented a "Killer Chip".

The basic model would consist of a tiny GPS transceiver placed in a capsule and inserted under a person's skin, so that authorities could track him easily.

Model B would have an extra function — a dose of cyanide to remotely kill the wearer without muss or fuss if authorities deemed he'd become a public threat.

This is SCARY on the order of waking up in a Vegas hotel in an ice bath, your back hurts and there is a note taped to your chest with medical tape.

Why would a person even conceive of such a brutal tool that can only be used for the purpose of tyranny.

BTW, Nancy P.and Harry R. were delighted when briefed by the CIA on this new invention. I wouldn't look to them blaming the Bush administration for this Saudi tool of terror, but to announce a "National Flu Vaccination Program". Rumors are that Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are going to be the first two recipients.

A thought to ponder

"Christians aren't people who believe they are without sin; they're people who know they're sinners and are awestruck by God's grace in sending his only Son to take the punishment they deserve.

"This is in contradistinction to liberals, all of whom believe they're on a fast track to heaven on the basis of being 'basically good' people -- and also believe that anyone who disagrees with that theological view is evil."

Another reason our republic is in peril

I was perusing the latest online it bleeds/it leads from the Main Stream media.

Golf Analyst Feherty Sorry for Pelosi Joke in Dallas Magazine

CBS Sports golf analyst David Feherty apologized Sunday to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for a morbid joke that went bad in a Dallas magazine.

Yeah, it has gotten to the point in this country that the thought police are even trying to control satire and humor.

The joke is actually quit funny because like all good humor that is sarcastic.

"Despite how the conflict has been portrayed by our glorious media, if you
gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an
elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Osama bin Laden, there's a good
chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden
would be strangled to death."

The liberal windbags are so thin skinned that they are unable to tolerate a joke that they are the subject. His Employer, a MSM outlet that is a major distributor of the Zero's Koolaid and the brain washing for the Democratic socialistic agenda released the following KowTow to appease the Liberal overlords.

CBS Sports distanced itself from Feherty's writing, saying it was "an
unacceptable attempt at humor and is not in any way condoned, endorsed or
approved" by the network. The PGA Tour also criticized him for an attempt at
humor that "went over the line."

We are reaching the tipping point where the those who are elected are unable to tolerate the opinion or humor of those who they represent. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are so full of themselves it is sickening.

These boys are tough

I found this article oddly enough on the MSN website. It is actually a NYT article which makes it even more of a deviation.

Anyway, The two devil dogs in the article have a pair so big it is lucky they can walk.

From the article,

This is Firebase Vimoto, named for Pfc. Timothy R. Vimoto, an American
soldier killed in the valley two years ago. If all goes according to the
Pentagon’s plan, this tiny perimeter — home to an Afghan platoon and two
Marine Corps infantrymen — contains the future of Afghanistan....

There are nearly 30 Afghan soldiers here. Their
senior mentor, Cpl. Sean P. Conroy, of Carmel, N.Y., is 25 years old. His
assistant, Lance Cpl. Brandon J.Murray, of Fort Myers, Fla., is 21.

Each day they organize and walk Afghan Army patrols in the
valley below,some of the most dangerous acreage in the world. Each night
they participate inradio meetings with the American posts along the ridges,
exchanging plans and intelligence, and plotting the counterinsurgency effort
in the ancient villages below.
In Corporal Conroy’s war, two Marines train Afghans in weapons,
tactics, first aid, hygiene and leadership. They keep the firebase supplied with
ammunition, water, batteries and food. Theydefecate in a rusting barrel and
urinate in a tube that slopes off a roof and drains into the air. Fly strips
surround them. They have no running water; their sleeping bunker stinks of
filthy clothes and sweat.
The corporal has tied a flea collar through his belt loops; he needs it like a
dog. He served two tours in Iraq. His four-year enlistment ended last month,
but he extended for nine months when promised hewould be assigned to a
combat outpost in Afghanistan.


He does not hide that he likes his life here: the senior man in an isolated
post, surrounded by the Taliban, waking to a new patrol every day and drilling
what he calls the Alamo Plan, to be executed if the firebase is overrun.
“This is the sweetest deal ever,” he said one evening between firefights.
“There is no other place I could get a job like this — not at this rank.”

He woke the next daybefore 4 a.m. for a patrol. As he slipped into his ammunition vest, he
groused that back home, when conversations drift to the war,the infantry too often is misunderstood.

“You know what I don’t like about America?” he said, in the chill beneath lingering stars. “If you do what I do, then theythink either you should have PTSD or you are some sort of psychopath.”

He exhaled cigarette smoke. “This is my job,” he said. “There’s nothing wrong with it.”

Amen Brother..

The can-do attitudes and sacrifies of men like these should be required studies in high schools and colleges all across this land.
