narciso, You mean it was McCain? I thought so when I heard it but didn't believe it and thought it had to be Kerry. How far have you fallen, John, How far? Mrs. JiB will tell me shortly about the subject Onkelinx and I will revert.

Ralph L, So, What that does that tell you. Either the corporate management of Chick-Fil-A understand the code of the flag or McDonalds doesn't even give a shit. My bet is on Chick-Fil-A.

Did I just hear that John Kerry has visited with the Syrian rebels? Did he tell them how to fake a wound.

Our Stockholm friend, a cardiac surgeon, is surprised that the riots have been reported here. She can't believe America is so interested in what happens in Sweden. Until I told her we are not. We are more interested in the war on the west that Muslims want to wage and rage. Oh! She said. Yes a very good reason to watch Sweden. Geesus.

Test and I mean it this time.

I still cannot post my great funny about both Bill and Hillary. Crimey.

OL Unions are involved? Says it all. Tough for the Bishops and the clergy. This is not their territory. I take my young priest to play golf every week. He is a conservative being from this part of Florida but gets compromised everyday because of his beliefs and civil law. I think Dolan wants to find a way to change things since it will help him get out from under the union deteriation of his diocese.

Damn, TypePad! MarkO, She's still fat and ugly. Plus she is a pathological liar and not that smart as the Russkies are proving every day. Nothing like playing "laugh a shot".

maryrose, At lunch today (Maria Bonita's Cantina in Ormond Beach:) we were discussing my Dad and his Mom and Dad (my grandmother and grandfather). Her name was Minny but that was a nickname she carried all her life even on her marriage certificate. Her born and baptized name was Mary Rose. I told Mrs. JiB that I knew another Mary Rose and I have to tell her of the coincidence. Minnie was the Chaplain of our local chapter of DAR. Her family dates back to the founding of Southampton in 1640 and had arrived in Connecticut in 1634. This Memorial Day I will be remembering all those who died in the service to their country. Obama will be recognizing those in the audience at Arlington who did the same.

BTW, if someone is reading an article on the riots in Sweden and comes across the mention of Muslim immigrants, please pass the link on to me. I am reading all accounts, Rooters, BBC, El-Guardian, The Torygraph, etc. and have yet found the words Muslim immigrants. Always immigrant areas or poor immigrants or immigrant neighborhood.

My Dad would be 100 today. Will never forget him coming back from Europe in 1946 still in uniform, meeting him at the front door. Funny, have only fleeting memories of those early years but that one always sticks out in technicolor. I second Iggy. Its always the left's way to denigrate service out of fearful envy. They never had the guts to serve - it would mean giving up too much socially destructive behavior. When you think about that it was a damn good thing they didn't serve.

Congrats to newly minted Grandpa GMAX! Porch, that was a wonderful story. Passed it on to our Veteran's Committee here. May want to mention him at the next Veteran's Day Muster we conduct annually.

According to Julian Bond, this guy is the head of the Tea Party in America.

Test.

narciso, Remember back in 2010 when the IRS and DoJ came after Rubio because of the FLGOP credit card flap? Nothing new here.

Did the New York Times print a Sunday paper today? The reason I ask is that Tom M usually has some column or article that has rankled his feathers especially from the bearded one. I understand that MoDo has an especially mendacious one even for her usual senility.

Looks like Tiger is going to hold on and win The Players unless Lingmerth can make a 50 footer.

Got that wrong. Tiger has a one shot lead and Sergio just put his tee ball at 18 in the water. Does he scuba?

Corn Fed is a professor of Political Philosophy at a 3rd rate dump of a university in SoCal. Either that or he is BuBu's BFF or KaKa's unoriginal protege.

Benghazi? IRS? What me worry? Obama is off to the Big Apple tomorrow for 3 fundraisers. One is at the Waldorf-Astoria. NK may want to move up his trip home from Grand Central. Park Avenue is going to be a zoooooo!

CT, Didn't seem to have a transport problem in Tripoli where there was a Herc and it was used to ferry the first rescue team to the Annex. Nor was there a transport problem for LCol. Gibson's team since they were told not to go but rather to defend the airport in Tripoli. IOW, we screwed the pooch in Benghazi and the damage is done but we don't want to get the pooch again in Tripoli. Some military tactics at play I have never been exposed to but them I was dumb ass Lemay servant. We never questioned only obeyed. But the bigger question is strategic planning not tactics. Why would you ignore the anniversary of 911 in a country, in a region, going through significant turmoil and transition with a known AQ influence as part of it. Plus you have a 30+ member MANPAD search team in place in Benghazi without adequate situational security. This is the bigger incompetency and its under the same DoD and DoS executive management as well as that of the CinC.

Once again for all the conspiracy nuts out there including the "empty wheel", we were discussing the mission of the Annex as a CIA run MANPAD search team back on September the 12th, the day after the attack. We even went so far as to speculate the meeting between Stevens and his Turkish counterpart to be part of MANPAD and other ordinance running operation via Turkey to Syrian rebels. In fact, IIRC, it was Soylent Red who first broached the subject and others here then began to pile on. This was in addition to the discussion led by Cecil T. regarding the so-called laser painting by ex-SEALS and discounting the use of Herc or other delivery mechanism. JOM has been way out front of any source when it comes to Benghazi and the attack. Unfornutely, the really smart people in the world only read the New York Times, watch MSNBC and listen to Alan Colmes' radio show.

BobS, Hey! Doing the same and at a Catholic school like the ladies in Indiana. Read rse's National Review link at 3:10. Hope springs eternal. Where in Florida? We are in Flagler.

Let's see - level of G2 needed to take on hostage and counter terror operations: - SEAL insertion at residence in Abbotabad - Maersk Alabama take-out of the Somali pirates (again by SEALS) - The Israeli rescue of hostages at Entebbe Airport - The SAS and SBS rescue of hostages at the Iranian Embassy in London I know there are more but those come to mind. Gates was looking at the ghost of Mogadishu and Black Hawk down when he made those remarks. Clinton chickenshitism is really addictive in the Obama administration. You ask any special operator if they need the degree of G2 Gates is demanding and they will laugh at you. This is exactly the job they train for endlessly - to go into harm's way without any knowledge and make things happen and go away. Another political excuse using our military as the bogey.

Peter Wehner in Commentary on Jay Carney's Carnie Act. He's making Baghdad Bob look like a guy on sodium penathol.
