WHAT: Friendly fundraising competition for Valour-IT.
WHEN: November 2nd through Veterans Day (the 11th).
WHERE: Based in the blogosphere, spreading everywhere else.
WHY: Because giving wounded warriors with hand and arm injuries access to a computer supports their healing and puts them back in touch with the world.
HOW: Blogger teams will be divided along military branches, with civilians “up for grabs.” Prospective team leaders were approached yesterday Wednesday (waiting for replies). When the leadership is announced, you will have the opportunity to join the team of your choice.

Holly Aho grabbed the Marine Corps leadership roll so all you other Jar heads go join up and let Holly know about it.

Chrissy found this article about the world famous slut.

Paris Hilton has reportedly engaged in sex with her new boyfriend in a portable toilet, according to published reports. The hotel heiress is alleged to have got hot and steamy with her new lover in the unlikely love shack at an exclusive Hollywood party.

The only question I have is was it clean before they got down and dirty?
The pot calls the kettle black Paris says about Mary-Kate of Mary-Kate and Ashley fame.

she’s a jealous, ugly, anorexic idiot

I love a good cat fight…lets egg these two on

Donovan McNabb is just not that good of a quarterback!

It is not the color of his skin, but it is the fact that he is making a lot more money than I do and he SUCKS.

Curent score: Denver 28, Philadelphia 0….

Final Update: Denver 49, Philadelphia 21 (how they got that many points is beyond me)

I want my cow Buetooth enabled!

Mobile Pipeline reports: “Blip Systems said in a statement that it has developed a Bluetooth-mesh system in which sensors are placed on cows. That enables farmers to monitor the location and health of each animal, the company said in a statement.”

OK not as bad as it sounds but totally unexpected. Farmers and Ranchers getting technology! Never thought I would see the day.

We have all suspected that Syria is the two faced, trouble causing nosy neighbor over in the Middle East for a long time. Syria has a track record of aiding terrorist organizations, of aiding the insurgency in Iraq…of stirring the pot of cess over there. It’s high time someone call the Syrian government on this bullshit. Looks like, as always, the US is going to do just that:

Adopting a fast-paced strategy, the Bush administration is gathering support for a U.N. Security Council resolution demanding Syria’s cooperation in an investigation into the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

The target date for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and foreign ministers to agree on a resolution is next Monday in New York.

“Everybody thinks that certainly a resolution would be appropriate with respect to this report, at least in the initial discussions that we have had among our close allies,” State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.

The report, distributed last week by U.N. investigator Detlev Mehlis, a German prosecutor, concluded Hariri could not have been assassinated without the collusion of top Syrian intelligence officials. Twenty other people also died in the car bombing last February in Beirut.

Syria has hotly disputed the findings as political motivated and stemming from U.S. displeasure with its opposition to the war in Iraq. Civil servants and students massed in the streets of Damascus on Monday to protest the report.

Of course we have to do this in a politically correct fashion, through the UN. Unfortunately this will go no where because of all the America-hating EuropeOns who would rather be pissed on, then see real progress made in peace…any government that forces it’s own people to come out to protest something they cannot even read about in their own media, has a PROBLEM. Using groups like Amal and Hezbollah to force the people out is typical of Syrian tactics and someday it will be talked about. Until then, we can only depend on Great Britain to be a true ally.

U.S. ambassador John R. Bolton and other Security Council ambassadors are due to meet on Tuesday. Punitive economic measures have not been ruled out.

“Let’s see how the diplomacy unfolds over the coming week or so and what action at the ministerial level the ministers decide to take,” McCormack said.

Bolton said in New York, “We will certainly insist on Syrian cooperation. This is true-confessions time for the government of Syria. No more obstruction. No more half-measures.”

What’s not to love about Bolton? He’s so…to the point and blunt. The diplomacy games will be played and will be ineffective. Why the world hasn’t learned this yet is beyond me. I don’t think the UN route is the right way to go, but I’m not in charge of these things.

A ceremony was held Sunday to honor the Marines and sailors who were murdered in Beirut.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - (October 23, 2005) — “Oct. 23, 1983. For Onslow County, it was a day that will live in infamy,” said Maj. Gen. Robert C. Dickerson, the commanding general for Marine Corps Installations East.

Civilians and service members gathered together Sunday at the Beirut Memorial in front of Camp Johnson to pay tribute to those who “Came in Peace.” This year’s guest speaker at the observance ceremony was Gen. Michael W. Hagee, the Commandant of the Marine Corps.

“For most of us Marines, that day is seared into our memories,” said Hagee. “I was a young major at the time, and I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I found out. I will remember that until the day I die.”

In the early morning of Oct. 23, 1983, a terrorist-driven truck loaded with explosives, drove into and destroyed 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment’s headquarters building. The resulting explosion and the collapse of the building killed 241 Marines, sailors and soldiers.

Nicholas J. Mottola, a former combat engineer with 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, was on-ship with the 22nd Marine Amphibious Unit when the bombing occurred.

“We were on our way to relieve the Marines in Beirut when it happened,” said Mottola. “As soon as we heard what happened, we were ready to get over there, kick some [butt] and take care of business.”

I don’t know any Marine who doesn’t remember that day. For those too young at the time to remember, I don’t know any who don’t know the stories of honor, courage and strength from those who survived this.

The legacy of those 273 Marines, sailors and soldiers who lost their lives in Lebanon between 1982-1984, is being honored today by the valiant men and women of armed forces continuing the fight against terrorists and extremists, according to Hagee.

“America did not wish to send Marines abroad, but we sent them,” said Hagee. “We did not ask for violence, we answered. We did not start this war on terror, but we will end it.”

Subject: democrat….republican or southern republican

Here is a little test that will help you decide.

Question: How do you tell the difference between Democrats, Republicans and Southern Republicans?

The answer can be found by posing the following question:

You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children.

Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you.

You are carrying a Glock cal .40, and you are an expert shot.

You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.

What do you do?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Democrat’s Answer:

Can I call Howard Dean or John Kerry and see what they think I should do?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Republican’s Answer:

Daughter: “Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?”

23 October 1983: At 0622 an explosive-laden truck slammed into the BLT headquarters building in Beirut, Lebanon, where more than 300 men were billeted. The massive explosion collapsed the building in seconds, and took the lives of 241 Americans–including 220 Marines. This was the highest loss of life in a single day for Marines since D-Day on Iwo Jima in 1945.

Muslims Kill Muslims

About nine militants barged into a building materials factory near Iskandariyah, 30 miles south of Baghdad, lined up all the workers and forced the six Shiite ones to identify themselves, said police Lt. Colonel Khalil Mohammed. The militants then tied up the hands of Shiites, shot them to death in front of the other workers, and fled in several stolen company cars, Mohammed said.

This is Islam

Somebody made a big mistake

DENVER - Denver police are investigating a burglary at the Veteran of Foreign Wars Post 3971 on South Platte River Drive.

They are stealing the things that to us are memorabilia from times past and it’s no good,” said veteran Wayne Pierce. The post has souvenirs from WWI, WWII, the Korean War and Vietnam.

They are pissing off Americans, I mean real Americans and that means they will pay.
