Too bad the father didn't save the state from a trial and cost of housing this douche-bag homo.

mappleby, so really what you're saying is "it's not religion, it's the nutjobs".

Yeah I say skip Asia and hit France and the cemeteries around Normandy and then a day trip down to Le Mont St Michel. If there is a little fog it is even more impressive as you drive towards it. A little island (actually connected by a causeway) that appears to rise right up out of the sea. Not much to actually see there (other than the monastery/church and some touristy stuff) but it is pretty cool to see the place appear to float on the sea when driving towards it. If the tide is out it’s surrounded by sea bottom/sand/mud but when the tide is in you get the floating effect. The cemeteries around Normandy and Le Mont St Michel were on my bucket list and I finally did them 3 years ago. An excellent trip.

Badfnz, You might check with the PVA (www.pva.org) or DAV (www.dav.org). They both have progrms in place to help veterans with disabilities get retrained and back in the work force. I know Homer Townsend, the PVA's executive director. He's a good dude and he's been with PVA for years, both as a volunteer and now as paid staff.

And is that a big zit in the middle of her chest above her boobs?

Yeah, how about the theory that since all of the "leaders" of this great nation lie, cheat, and steal in a heartbeat when they think it would help them, why potentially wouldn't someone else (military or not). And Christian institutions face the same issue in their environment as well. Church and denominational leaders who are caught in financial scandles, cheating on spouses, covering up wrong doings, abuses, etc, ... the leadership in the church isn't setting a real good example either. A complete failure in moral and ethical behavior all around.

Thanks for the feedback on the LC9. I currently carry an XD9 (the small one) but it is still pretty thick and obvious in most dress type clothing. I was looking for something smaller and the LCP is just way too small for rmy hand. The LC9 is small but at least I can still get all my fingers but the pinky on the grip for a little better control. I'd guess that in most emergency defense situations the 7 rounds in the LC9's mag. are adequate. I went ahead and pulled the trigger and bought the LC9. I haven't shot it yet but will give feedback when I get out to test it. It's a pretty good looking small gun.

A quick question. Helodude mentioned the Ruger LC9 in a post a while back. Does anyone have experience with that gun? Does it shoot well? Would it make a good conceal carry gun (size wise)?

When someone elects to be a douche and makes a spectacle of themselves (burglar pride parades and the like) and then gets made fun of, that's on them. A kid at school getting made fun of for being fat, weird, dork, etc isn't a good thing but it's been going on for years and additional laws aren't the solution.

Huggy I want to know who the knucklehead in Korea was that everyone wanted gone?!! Hopefully he didn't stay in the community long enough to mess with you guys. And would also love to know who the dude was that fell in love with the artist from San Francisco, that was a classic story (though not a good one if it destroyed their marriage).

Dude, while that's impressive that you stump trained a moose that quickly, the pictures might come back to haunt you.

Way harsh, since we know all teams do this to some degree even at the college level (maybe not so explicit but that's the idea behind helmet stars, key play rewards, etc??!!).

Steve I tried that but I got tired of having to sign autographs everywhere I went.

Yeah and our dumb ass in chief is already apologizing for it without knowing all of the facts from the guys on the ground. Regardless, we need to bring all of you back home from that crap hole!! As has been written on here several times, that hole is not worth another sacrifice (injury or death)!

Sounds like they are reaching out. The news just reported that they have agreed to some of the nuke requirements from the US in return for some food.

Yeah, that gunboat scene was excellent. I keep thinking, that's exactly what is meant when someone says "rain hell" on a target.

Act of Valor. Good movie, fast paced and very respectable acting for a bunch of active duty Seals. Most of the movie you wouldn't really think about it being non actors playing most of the main roles. I definitely wouldn't want a Seal team after my ass (sts) !!!

Steve, I vote overreaction. It was probably silly to make/write comments that could be potentially mistaken as a threat, but with some questioning at the airport coupled with the background check required to get the visa in the first place, they should have told the guy that even joking about such things can get you undesired scrutiny and then allowed him entry. But, at every airport in the US there are warnings against making any kind of comment in jest about bombs or blowing things up. We've taken the zero tolerance approach (used with incredible success in schools across our country - ) and applied it to public transit (and most entertainment) environments.

It's more than 27 words long and I can still say that stupid spin boldface and it's been 22 years since I last flew the Tweet. It's crazy how some things stick in your head.

Thanks for the direct link Steve. I got tired of waiting for Amazon and used your direct link for Y2B.

ouch, that hurts (yeah, used with intent), but at least my collection is of fake units, unlike the real ones you like to play with.

I hope those knuckleheads had to get a full body/ cavity search to enter the stadium.

Good report Hacker. I signed up for an email when Amazon has it available.

I hope this hasn't been previously posted. I knew M2 would enjoy it as long as it wasn't a repost. Pretty funny.

It sucks that somebody who we could at least respect (even admire) for his good fortune, good timing, and his drive to make thing happen in his career, has to be a douchebag.
