No, I really don't think this has anything to do with the climbing gas prices. So, despite the fact that we didn't really use Iraqi oil, or that the situation during the wars Iraqi oil production wise has been more or less stable (no, I didn't say it was any good, I said stable.) we're blaming the oil prices on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan again? And you're right. Katrina had no influence on oil prices, nor did the downtime on a large portio

30 Days of Night limerick review in Humor JoeUser Forums

More evil than Christopher Lee, From these vampires your pants fill with pee, It's Darker and Starker than books by Clive Barker, no Bruce Campbell, but produced by Rai-mi. The lines were all stark and quite keen, And the characters suitably mean, But they still fell down dead, When you chopped off their heads, Like a Baldwin or pe

I think before I left, I made my opinions pretty clear about the Iraq war. For example. Link I'm not crazy about us being in two wars at once. I'm not entirely nuts about the reasons we went to war in Iraq. (to be fair, Saddam believed he had the crap, had used it in the past, and wanted

So did I mention I met General Petraeus? in Humor JoeUser Forums

No really. So I've been in country for seven or eight weeks, and I wake up with a mesquito bite. Under and slightly to the left of my erm, junk. Okay, that's weird. Next morning, I've got a goose egg, so I go in, see an med type assistant who says I've got an infected lymph node and puts me on Keflex. Twelve hours later I wake up and my legs turning purple down to hal

We once got drunk with Hank Williams Jr at a truck stop in Missoula. So don't ask me Hank, why do you drink.......why do you hang out with red headed sado-masochist bloggers at truck stops in Missoula, why do you live out the songs that you wrote......... Well Dick, It's got a great beat

So I'm watching Woody Allen's "Everything you wanted to know about sex* (but were afraid to ask)" and my wife starts laughing....more than normal. Apparently Doctor Doug Ross, the character played by Gene Wilder, who falls in love/lust with a sheep from the hills of Armenia, is the exact same name used by George Clooney's character on ER. Being straight, I of course w

One of the few real surprises when I got to Iraq relates. Over there they still use bills (although it's a right pain in the fundament to get them, frickin' stand in line for an hour at finance or take out twenty at a time at the px), but instead of change, they use these crappy pogs, "px gift certificates". Tell me, what kind of gift can you get for a nickle...erm, a 5 cent pog? De facto, non-congressional type military scrip. Which of course, some pe

Reply to GOP Senators Stop Funding For OUR Troops in Politics JoeUser Forums

Funny, I'm just home on leave, and last I checked (last week), despite, according to the media, repeated funding crunches, we're still doing missions, I've got plenty of bullets, and I keep right on eating and getting paid. I'm not overly worried. They'll figure it out. The Democrats will bitch and moan, and they'll compromise a tiny bit from the admin's position, and whatever bill is needed will get passed. SSDD.

Okay, I'm not that clever, I stole it from a cartoon I saw at the bookstore. I'm home on leave for a couple of weeks, so I'm kinda sorta blogging again.

It is hard to see how a war could be averted. It's all too easy with the swing of politics the last couple of years. I've got an idea that should satisfy everybody though. Don't want a lengthy war, but don't want to let North Korea and Iran sit back and flip us the bird? No problem. Forget any war.
