Beer Monday: Where’s The Diversity, Kosbats?

Yes, it is another great Monday. Time to head back to work, put out the fires that crop up, jump on some conference calls, get busy. How ’bout a woman empowering beer? Seems as if the Washington Post has some issues with the Yearly Kosbat convention. How bad is it when a so-called ally in […]

Dem Congress: Where Are The Investigations?

An interesting thought occurs: remember when the Democrats were promising all sorts of investigations into the pre-war intelligence and everything surrounding the Iraq War prior to the elections, and even right after the elections? What happened to them? Where are they? They are investigating all sorts of other silly crap, much of which is perfectly […]

Moonbats In DC: The Best They Got

This was truly disappointing. I was hoping for some good protesters, and all I got was the same ones who had been there since 1981   Nothing like a bit of ultra-moonbat BDS, as well as some good old fashioned liberal Israel hatred   Oh, well. How about the oldest known rock? 3.96 billion years […]

PATROL BASE OLSON, Iraq, Aug. 1, 2007 — An 82nd Airborne Division Paratrooper was awarded the nation’s fourth highest decoration, the Silver Star, July 31, 2007, at Patrol Base Olson in Samarra, Iraq, for valorous actions during […]

WT In D.C

Yes, Surrendie and I are in the nations capital. Rather then driving all the way back to NC, decided to do something a wee bit different. Haven’t been here in a long, long time. Going to check a few sites such as the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, laugh at Darwin. Maybe walk over near […]
