The Lummox from PA made Politico today.  Hilarious.<\/a>  I am proud just carrying that guy&#8217;s camera while he discusses how he would &#8220;do&#8221; a &#8220;Code Pink Cutie.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Wow does this crack me up. So, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=9108\">my reward for posting the other day <\/a>about Kokesh and the PTSD discussion is to be the apparent target of some <a href=\"http:\/\/kokesh.blogspot.com\/2009\/03\/lots-of-beautiful-people-protest.html\">sophomoric bullshit on his blog<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?pid=33293326&amp;id=13303243\">his facebook page<\/a>. Apparently, I am to be threatened by his having taken my picture. I don\u2019t know if he took it in a camera he made out of a shoebox, or if his camera just sucks, but here is his picture entitled \u201cThe pro-war blogosphere is here!\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/us.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9155\" title=\"us\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/us-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/us-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/us.jpg 604w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That is me, Jonn and Jimbo, no doubt checking out one of the Peace Fairies or something.

For my part, I would rather misquote your namesake:<\/p>\n<p>Hippies to right of them,<br \/>\nHippies to left of them,<br \/>\nHippies in front of them<br \/>\nVolley&#8217;d &amp; thunder&#8217;d;<br \/>\nStorm&#8217;d at with shot and shell,<br \/>\nBoldly they rode and well,<br \/>\nInto the jaws of Death,<br \/>\nInto the mouth of Hell<br \/>\nRode the three bloggers.<\/p>\n<p>Al Brundage: They did not bring us papers. Nor, alas, are any of us able to sign them had there been any, on account of two already being retired and my being broke dick.<\/p>\n<p>Cherish: I take great umbrage with that young lady! For I have no John Deere. I have a push mower. I also don\u2019t know what the hell a \u201cbear crawl\u201d is, but I have on many occasions done high\/low crawls, and the \u201cI\u2019m up, they see me, I\u2019m down\u201d with full battle rattle on. I\u2019ve even done so in a combat zone. Have you?<\/p>\n<p>Chris Lombardi: Do you have to be a freeper to spy bullshit? As I did with Tennyson, I commend to you the words of your namesake Vince who once stated that:<\/p>\n<p>I firmly believe that any man&#8217;s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle &#8211; victorious.<\/p>\n<p>Gabriel Payan: Um, are you serious? Jonn and Jimbo are retired, and I served in OEF. Has the definition of Chickenhawk changed again and none of you told us?  [On Edit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=4620\">Payan has made an appearance at TAH in the past too. <\/a> It&#8217;s a veritable fan club over there.]<\/p>\n<p>Zachery: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=3511\">We love Zachery, this dude is a classic.<\/a> He got PTSD from CQ duty at 8th and I barracks. The closest he has come to a combat zone was fighting to remain conscious after his 17th day of getting blindingly high in a row. Hey dumb dumb, none of us is wearing \u201ccameo clothes\u201d so what in the hell are you talking about? Also, you might want to spell check every now and again. Too, there are numerous homonyms for \u201cthere\u201d and you don\u2019t seem to have the hang of them. In the sense of \u201cThey Are\u201d it is \u201cthey\u2019re\u201d while if you are referencing ownership to someone else, it would be \u201ctheir\u201d and lastly, if you are saying here or ____, it is \u201cthere.\u201d They are not interchangeable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: Uncle Jimbo v.
