Knee Deep in the Hooah!

I am having a mid-life revelation. I am slowly seeing what my future holds. I am not a fortune teller so I am not claiming to see details of events to come, but rather I see a general trend that seems unstoppable.

I am slowly turning into one of “those” people who shakes her head at current trends and says under her breath “today’s kids, gees!” I am fighting the bitterness, but it’s a losing battle. There is a new dawn of awareness for me as to the origins of why a lot of elderly folks grow that layer of crust on the personality with time. They aren’t mean. They aren’t just grouchy, but they are irritated and it’s not hard to see why.

When you reach a certain age (I think it happens for most of us in our 40s) you begin to realize that the things you recognize as cultural familiarities are no longer part of the culture around you. Sure, when you go to the reunion or hang out with others your age it is less apparent, but when removed from that context, you suddenly realize that the world is upside down.

In your day certain things were not permissible, but today they are magically sanctioned and culturally promoted. One day things look one way, and the next day they look differently. One day certain trends are cool and the next day they are not. Our culture is always changing, so I am not talking about the small changes. I also am not of the mindset that all change is progress. Anyone who would assume that change is good just because it’s, well, different, is likely to use the argument that the sun is hot because it’s on fire. Mm-k. [Read more →]

There is almost no way to do this without copying the whole thing BUT I found this on the site of a recent commentor. Give him a big “hooah”, please. Here’s the link: Shane
And here’s the entry (I love it but, Shane, if you’d rather I didn’t link this … just say so and I’ll remove it for ya. Thanks.) :
What the Army sometimes feels like

At least the mother turned around.

“We are more than a color;
we are the embodiment of ovarian peace
and fallopian justice!” –Code Pink Motto

For months now the anti-war group known as “Code Pink” has been hard at work trying to force a Marines recruiting station in downtown Berkeley, CA, to move out of the area. “Actually we would like it if all of the military offices would shut their doors.” said Zeta Mandarin, a leader in the local group of Code Pink volunteers.

“We are more than volunteers” said Mandarin “We are she-warriors of peace and light, and we plan on shutting the military down by holding events like ‘Breastfeeding instead of bombing’ where we nurse our babies in front of the station.” Who would have thought that breasts could have such an impact on the world? The goddess is afoot, I tell you!”

While Mandarin and the other Code Pink “she-warriors” continue to picket, sing and nurse their babies, we searched the parameter of the scene outside the station to get local reactions on the events that has brought Berkeley to national attention and has even come to the point of threatening its federal funding.

… a newt?

I got better.

Now Code Pink is calling on witches to come prepared to cast their spells on the Recruiting Center in Berkeley. Can they possibly scream “We are so irrelevant that we are willing to try any stunt to get attention no matter how stupid, idiotic or moronic it is!” any louder than that? [Read more →]

Reuters is at it again folks. Remember this:

Barely over a year ago, in the midst of Reuters being proven to have fraudulently Photoshopped a picture of Beirut under attack, I wrote that founder Julius Reuter must be spinning in his London grave. Poor Julius has not gained any more peaceful repose a year later. This time the fraud is not even political, and the person who busted the formerly prestigious news agency turns out to be a 13 year old in Finland.

Man: You sit here, dear.
Wife: All right.
Man: You checking your email, dear? Well, what’ve you got?
