Many of you might have seen this already, but this clip shows a congressional hearing where Congressman Hank Johnson (D-Georgia) is questioning a Naval Officer over military operations on the Island of Guam. Watch in amazement how Rep Johnson...
I believe it's the first time an [active] commanding General has done a "road show" on major network TV (he was on Fox News this morning) and stated the fact. It actually makes me wonder if the administration is starting to get a clue and actually sent the general to begin planting the seed...
Let me be clear - I am not suggesting by saying "Might there be question...." that it's MY question. Like I said, I support the officer. Keep in mind, they are in California, home of liberal thought - my point was will the officer be questioned by some politically motivated committee on his...

Might there be some question on whether he should have used pepper spray or taser first? - yes. However, you don't threaten a police officer with a knife (or anything for that matter), without expecting that one of the consequences you might face is a bullet. This officer was a 13 year vet; if...
....Oh, and if betting the ranch on Joe Schmoe winning a congressional seat doesn't break you, you can always check out Forex (Forex.com), in which you can directly trade currency online (please don't do this). The site has good info though.
There is a website called Intrade (Intrade.com) which allows users to actually put money (bet) on the outcome of nearly any event (political or otherwise). The events are displayed the same as you would find the latest trade data for stocks, bonds, etc. The bid/ask are basically quantified as...
Another Level
I believe there is another level of resistance involved on the side of the liquor store owners and it has a powerful lobby. Don't forget the distributors that are pulling the strings. They don't want to go head to head with national chains because they will lose their grasp on...
A guy walks into a bar with a pet alligator by his side. He puts the alligator up on the bar. He turns to the astonished patrons. "I'll make you a deal. I'll open this alligator's mouth and place my genitals inside. Then the gator will close his mouth for one minute. He'll then open his...

Been on a couple of 3 day cruises in the Caribbean with my wife - tried carnival & norwegian; they are pretty similar. I couldn't do 7 days, too long. Watch the alcohol, it is not included in the price and adds up quick.
Disclosure Project
Watch this and then decide:
The Disclosure Project - Two-hour Disclosure Witness Testimony DVD 1of2
Do former military and defense personnel add credibility?
Devin Moore, a running back that played his high school ball at Indianapolis Ritter High School, made the 53 man roster squad. He looked pretty impressive in pre-season, but will it last?
Look, I don't want to make something out of nothing, however, this little topic seems to be a microcosm of larger issues in which the economics are unnecessarily skewed by government intervention. It seems that it was originally developed due to conventional moral's of the time, but it's turned...
Kirk, it's a legitimate question, no offense taken - I know the concept, I was an Econ major in undergrad and have an advanced degree. However, politics and economics don't always mesh (reference any number of current political topics now in play). There have been some great posts and some...
See this story, this security guard should be removed: FOXNews.com - Colorado Student Says He Was Told to Remove U.S. Flags
