  • Dear Vickie: I’m a whiny deserter, put me out of my misery

    EdUSMCleg sends us a link to a Military.com advice column in which some whiny dingus had a tough time in the Army, deployed a couple of times, reenlisted, got deployed again and decided that was enough. Oh, and while he was deployed, his boinked someone else and aborted the love child. So, now he’s looking over his shoulder for the MPs and wonders what he can do about it – you know what he can do about it besides turning his chickenshit ass in to the authorities and facing the consequences. And, oh, his wife chimes in, too;

    My recruiter lied to me and painted the Army as something from heaven, but it was far from that. I was miserable and my wife was miserable too. My feeling could have affected her because I was in a bad mood every day.

    I was treated like crap in the Army. I was talked down to, cussed at — you name it. Maybe I could have tolerated that if I was 18. but I was 29. Not only was I taking orders from everyone who was higher rank but all of the young cats who were much younger than me.

    Oh, boo-hoo, people younger than him who had more military experience than him told what to do in the military.

    The Army was ruining my life. After being in garrison for a year, of course we know our unit is getting deployment orders to Afghanistan. I said, “I’m not going!” I just couldn’t do it again.

    Yeah, but his wife tells the part that he kind of leaves out;

    After his first four years, I said “don’t re-enlist,” but he got all googly-eyed about the re-enlistment bonus they paid him. The way I see it, he was happy until the money was gone.

    Yeah, the Army was ruining his life, but he took another burst of six years. Well, Vickie tells him what you’re thinking right now;

    Sheldon, you are not honorable, you are a coward. Now, I have never signed my name on the dotted line to serve my country and I have never been deployed either. However, I’ve never complained, whined, cried about mistreatment — but then accepted a bonus check before running away.

    So, quit whining and man-up. Turn yourself in, dingus. Pay the price for your childish little tantrum and then get on with your life. Vickie says that he might get to finish out his term – Dear God, please don’t wish this know-it-all cry baby on some poor unsuspecting squad leader.

  • An Experiment Gone Bad – What Would YOU do?

    Stumbled across this via FB. I don’t wrestle much any more. I think I woulda shot first myself.

    C’mon… it IS funny.

  • MRAPs for serving warrants

    I don’t want to get on anyone’s bad side, here, but, I’m thinking that an MRAP for serving warrants at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau is a little excessive, unless of course, they serve warrants by driving though your wall and dropping the warrant off on your coffee table, then backing out. I wonder how many anti-armor mines ICE encounters in a year.

    And the military-style uniforms for domestic law enforcement don’t exactly inspire anything close to a warm & fuzzy feeling. Especially when the feds have bought up enough ammo to shoot each American five times and at the same time, they’re trying to disarm us. I’m no conspiracy nut, but stuff like this doesn’t seem rational to me.

    Thanks to Old trooper for the link, I guess.

  • Chicago candidate in the bag for millionaires

    As I told you the other day, Robin Kelly, won the Democrat primary in Chicago for Jesse Jackson, Jr’s vacated Congressional seat and, you know, since its Chicago, she’s a shoo-in for the seat just by virtue of her party. Well, she won because of the $2 million she got from Nanny Bloomberg and his anti-gun Super PAC, so she’s issued a warning to the National Rifle Association according to the Washington Times;

    Robin Kelly, a former Illinois state representative, also suggested a head-on war against the National Rifle Association, according to a report from The Associated Press.

    “Their days of holding our country hostage are coming to an end,” she said, according to AP.

    Yeah, it’s a terrible thing that an organization that represents the voice of millions of Americans was “holding our country hostage” as opposed to one millionaire who uses his money to fight against the voice of the people and holds the country hostage to his eccentric behavior.

    It’s beginning more and more like the Democrat Party is the party of the rich, doesn’t it? Between Hollywood, Bloomberg, Kerry, Gore, Soros, Buffet and the countless others who fight against the will and the voice of working Americans with their millions/billions of dollars.

  • Police drunk on the job.

    Well it looks like in certain areas of Chicago have been found Police officers under the influence of alcohol on the job. What makes it noteworthy is that according to a investigation reported by NBC that would allow them to work under the influence.

    Many suburban departments actually have clauses in their union contracts which prevent any kind of discipline for officers with substantial amounts of alcohol in their systems — even those nearing the state definition of legally drunk, an investigation by the Better Government Association and NBC Chicago reveals.

    “I worry about it every day,” said Sam Pulia, the mayor of west suburban Westchester.

    Pulia, himself a former Westchester police officer, tried unsuccessfully to stop ratification of his department’s union contract which only allows discipline against officers when they hit an alcohol level of .05.

    So are the Police Unions allowing members to not be fire for drinking on the job? Will it take someone being killed before this changes? Why is this being tolerated?

    “It’s absolutely outrageous. These are collective bargaining agreements in which police unions have somehow forced police departments to allow high levels of alcohol in the bloodstreams of cops when they’re on the job,” Shaw said.

    If the Unions want a pay increase then one of the thing that should be changed this policy now. Because who wants to explain a incident like this because they were buzzed.

  • Earnest G. Smith, Georgia Idiot

    You would think that a state lawmaker should be at least passingly familiar with the US Constitution.  After all, there is this little thing called the “Supremacy Clause” in the US Constitution that says if state and Federal law conflict, Federal law takes precedence.  Plus there’s also that pesky little fact that the US Constitution is the “supreme law of the land”.

    Well, apparently someone forgot that.  As in Earnest G. Smith, Representative for the Georgia House of Representatives District 125.

    Seems that Smith is none too pleased about a recent rather crude but arguably complimentary bit of Photoshop satire which imposed his head on the body of a porn star.  So he’s come out in favor of  making such vulgar satirical use of Photoshop illegal in Georgia.  “No one has a right to make fun of anyone,” he says.

    No, I’m not kidding.

    What a freaking idiot.  But he managed to get elected anyway.

     

  • Chicago PD to stop responding to some calls

    Well, if you’re into property crimes, I guess Chicago is the place you want to operate, because according to an article from the Chicago tribune, the police are going to pic and choose which calls they will respond to in order to free up cops’ time;

    The Chicago Police Department hopes to free up the equivalent of 44 officers a day by no longer dispatching cops for certain crimes, like burglaries and car thefts in which the offender is no longer at the scene and no one is in immediate danger.

    Police confirmed the change, which takes effect Sunday. Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy told aldermen last year he was considering a move in that direction.

    So, it’s like a reverse-Giuliani strategy wherein former NY Mayor Giuliani had cops cracking down on jay-walkers – if you watch the video, the police won’t be responding to anything that is a property crime…or if the criminal can leave the scene fast enough. So, let’s recap – the citizens can’t have any weapons to protect themselves or their homes and the cops won’t be coming. Yeah, no, I don’t see how any of that can be a problem, at all. Chicago should be crime-free within a week.

    Thanks to ROS for the link.

    The video below the link auto-starts with a loud commercial;
    (more…)

  • The racist race

    Coca-Cola has released an ad pre-Superbowl called CokeChase, and perpetually outraged Arab Americans are…um…outraged about it;

    From Reuters;

    “The Coke commercial for the Super Bowl is racist, portraying Arabs as backward and foolish Camel Jockeys, and they have no chance to win in the world,” Imam Ali Siddiqui, president of the Muslim Institute for Interfaith Studies, said in an email.

    “What message is Coke sending with this?” asked Abed Ayoub, [American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee]’s director of legal and policy affairs. “By not including the Arab in the race, it is clear that the Arab is held to a different standard when compared to the other characters in the commercial,” he said.

    CBS declined comment. Coca-Cola spokeswoman Lauren Thompson said Coke took a “cinematic” approach with the ad, employing the characters as a nod to movies of the past.

    “Coca-Cola is an inclusive brand enjoyed by all demographics,” she said in an email. “We illustrate our core values, from fun and refreshment to happiness, inspiration and optimism across all of our marketing communications.”

    Ayoub said ADC intended to contact Coke and CBS Corp on Thursday to “hopefully start a dialog.”

    “I want to know why this happened and how can we fix this if possible before Sunday,” he said.

    As a cowboy and former Vegas showgirl bus driver, I’m offended, too.
