  • Stolen Valor Pop Quiz

    I had decided to only do a final exam, but I feel like many of you have not kept up with the readings, and therefore today I will be proctoring a pop quiz. No #2 pencil is needed, only your computer and mouse. This is a closed book examination. You will get points only for the correct answer.

    Do your best, and for those who fail, may God have mercy on your soul, because there is no chance you will pass this class.*

    *Not good for credits at the learning annex.

    (On a serious note, I would only have gotten about 10 right, but some of you seem like savants about our nominees. So do the best you can.)

    And then there was two.

    Now, before you vote gere, or after anyway, go and do a favor for TAH friend Cassy Chesser. In case you missed it yesterday at Blackfive, Laughing Wolf posted:

    Cassy Chesser is a pundit, a Marine spouse, and mother. Right now, she is in a contest to get her son Wyatt, who has Downs Sydrome, on the cover of Carolina Coastal Parent magazine. If you are on Facebook, you can help. First, go like Carolina Coastal Parent magazine. Then, go vote for Wyatt’s photo. With your help, they can win.

    The picture is absolutely precious, and unlike Diliberto and Sharkey who grew up to defame and steal from all of us, Wyatt will never do any of that. Cassy is a wonderful young lady, so if you could offset our bad karma for voting for the bigger of two douchenozzles by voting for a picture that shows innocent joy, I would be mucho appreciative.

    And now, the vote. After the fold is the bio in case you don’t already know who these guys are.

    All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
    Ya don’t like my point of view
    Ya think I’m insane
    Its not sane……it’s not sane.

    BTW: someone asked whether Diliberto would apologize. I doubt it, but maybe Veterans for Rethinking Afghanistan could put out something. They can be contacted at: bravenewfoundation.press@gmail.com

  • One of my critics now in jail

    Since you are unlikely to remember him, he is one of the Yonians taking shots at me with Wittgenfeld.

    Flashback:

    So anyway, Wittgenfeld, South, Golden and Yon I thought was sufficient for a respectable enemies list (not Nixonian, but enough I could keep track anyway) until this comment showed up on Yon’s page on July 19:

    My first obvious question was “Who is Ray Hall, and how did I manage to piss him off.”

    I still have no clue how I pissed him off, because I’ve never met the guy, emailed him or anything else. I assume he’s part of the Idiots Cabal, but I honestly don’t know. The fact that his comments are right next to Wittgenfeld’s seemed a clue.

    As recently as last week he was making more comments about me, but he won’t likely be doing that for the next year as he does time for extortion.

    KEYSER, W.Va. — Piedmont Councilman William “Ray” Hall was sentenced Tuesday in Mineral County Magistrate Court to a year in jail and was fined $500, the maximum sentence he could have received for the charge of attempted extortion. Hall will also have to pay the court costs and fees.

    Hall made allegations that employees at a local restaurant had stolen personal information from a friend’s credit card and later used that information to “cyberstalk” his friend.

    Ah, so the old “cyberstalk” cannard. You know, the one Wittgenfeld et al toss at me.

    And is he a Stolen Valor guy?

    Oh come on, you know the answer to that one.

    Looks like he spent the weekend-eve of his prison sentence tilting at my windmill.

    For the record, the only Facebook page I have is my own.

    And, FWIW, if you want to wish Ray well, here is his Facebook.

  • SVA Tourney to begin Tuesday, not tomorrow

    Have to go to the doctor tomorrow for my Yellow Fever vaccination so I don’t get the funk while in Senegal, and after the shot am hitting the links. So voting will start Tuesday at exactly noon, I will have a new one up every day at noon, so you can vote 7 times.
