What a thrill to see it up close...

Through a friend of mine, G and I received clearance to go up in the control tower at a nearby bombing range. A range where air and ground forces practice maneuvers regularly. On any given day, there are Navy SEALS and/or army personnel on the ground and F16s in the air--training with technology that would curl your toes.


What a thrill to see it up close. The power and precision of our armed forces. So fucking cool.

So....fucking fabulous.

Even better when our escort confirmed that the activities I saw today will not be impacted by a new administration's policy or budget changes for a good 2 to 3 years. Budgets and plans are in place through at least 2010 for most and 2011 for some sectors. Whew.

Note: I tried to add video, but Blogger didn't cooperate. There is probably a good reason for that. So I settled for one of our more distant photos. A cool pic but nothing compared to the ones I took when they buzzed the tower. Holy fuck.

Again....Fucking. Fabulous. LOL

Caution... huge rant ahead

Bush strikes again.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070703/ap_on_go_pr_wh/cia_leak_trial

WASHINGTON - President Bush spared former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby from a 2 1/2-year prison term in the CIA leak investigation Monday, delivering a political thunderbolt in the highly charged criminal case. Bush said the sentence was just too harsh. (too harsh my ass).

Bush's move came just five hours after a federal appeals panel ruled that Libby could not delay his prison term. That meant Libby was likely to have to report soon, and it put new pressure on the president, who had been sidestepping calls by Libby's allies to pardon Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff.

"I respect the jury's verdict," Bush said in a statement (bullshit). "But I have concluded that the prison sentence given to Mr. Libby is excessive. Therefore, I am commuting the portion of Mr. Libby's sentence that required him to spend thirty months in prison." Read the rest here.

Just because Plame was fortunate enough that she wasn't so compromised to be killed, doesn't mean that this wasn't a serious enough crime to be punishable with a prison sentence. And you can bet your ass that if it was a democrat that was at fault their ass would be in jail right now, amongst a battlecry from the republicans.

And they tried to impeach/convict Clinton for getting a freaking blowjob, for crap's sake! Jesus H. Christ.

The US Constitution, Article II, Section 4 states: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. If Bush and Cheney aren't guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, I don't know who is.

Let's weigh it...
Blowjob... illegal wiretapping, violation of the Geneva convention and torturing prisoners...

Oh, I forgot, we couldn't possibly impeach Cheney because he isn't part of the executive branch. Or part of the legislative branch. He's a branch all on his own. When asked for information that all members of Congress must provide, he claims he's part of the executive branch. When requested to give information that needs to be provided by members of the executive branch, he claims he's in the legislative branch. After all, he get to break ties in the senate. Whoopty doo. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/06/26/politics/main2981956.shtml

I love Keith Olbermann.



I could rant some more, but I would never ever shut up about this.

Can The World Get Any More Warped???

I can't be arsed to even speak of the depravity of this act, but a woman is accused of putting her baby in a microwave. Sick bitch.
