Another Military Heavyweight Backs Dean Presidential Bid

Retired Gen. Merrill “Tony” McPeak, the former Air Force chief of staff who endorsed George W. Bush in 2000, has left the Republican fold and is backing Democrat Howard Dean in the 2004 race for president.
McPeak joins a small but growing list of top military veterans who have parted ways with the president at least partly because of the war in Iraq. McPeak’s decision could be an important boost for Dean because critics have accused the former Vermont governor of lacking the experience and knowledge needed to be the nation’s commander-in-chief.

Check it out — I added a link to the bottom of each post, which you can use to link to a specific blog entry if you wish. I probably could have done that a long time ago, but this is the first time I’ve actually taken the time to look up how to change my template settings to create it.

Dude, don’t hit the donkey — he’s not a terrorist.

Insurgents in Baghdad attacked 2 hotels and and the oil ministry in Baghdad a few hours ago, using rocket launchers mounted on donkey carts.
Troops returned fire, apparently injuring a donkey at the Sheraton. At least one human perpetrator may have been captured.
The damage to buildings and the injuries to people were relatively contained.
“They would certainly have an element of surprise by having a donkey cart,” said Col. Brad May, commander of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment. “Most people would not think of a donkey cart being used to fire rockets from.”

Yeah, that’s why it’s called guerilla warfare.

In Defense Of Biblical Marriage

The Presidential Prayer Team is currently urging us to: “Pray for the President as he seeks wisdom on how to legally codify the definition of marriage. Pray that it will be according to Biblical principles. With any forces insisting on variant definitions of marriage, pray that God’s Word and His standards will be honored by our government.”

Any good religious person believes prayer should be balanced by action. So here, in support of the Prayer Team’s admirable goals, is a proposed Constitutional Amendment codifying marriage entirely on biblical principles:

A. Marriage in the United States shall consist of a union between one man and one or more women. (Gen 29:17-28; II Sam 3:2-5.)

B. Marriage shall not impede a man’s right to take concubines in addition to his wife or wives. (II Sam 5:13; I Kings 11:3; II Chron 11:21)

C. A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed. (Deut 22:13-21)

D. Marriage of a believer and a non-believer shall be forbidden. (Gen 24:3; Num 25:1-9; Ezra 9:12; Neh 10:30)

E. Since marriage is for life, neither this Constitution nor the constitution of any State, nor any state or federal law, shall be construed to permit divorce. (Deut 22:19; Mark 10:9)

F. If a married man dies without children, his brother shall marry the widow. If he refuses to marry his brother’s widow or deliberately does not give her children, he shall pay a fine of one shoe and be otherwise punished in a manner to be determined by law. (Gen. 38:6-10; Deut 25:5-10) *

G. In lieu of marriage, if there are no acceptable men in your town, it is required that you get your dad drunk and have sex with him (even if he had previously offered you up as a sex toy to men young and old), tag-teaming with any sisters you may have. Of course, this rule applies only if you are female. (Gen 19:31-36)

How did a reporter penetrate British Security?

  • Post author:

Easy; he apparently just applied for a job as a Palace footman a few months earlier. And the British public is shocked: if security surrounding Bush is supposed to be so tight, how did this guy get within assassination range of George Bush and the Queen? Well… the answer to that is easy too. The security has nothing to do with keeping Bush or the Queen SAFE. It has to do with keeping the British Stop Bush Protestors out of the public’s eye, and keeping Bush from seeing how many of them oppose him. This is, after all, the “know nothing” president who refuses to read the papers and gets all his news through screened briefings from his staff.

Military Alphabet
Find out your own Alpha Bravo Charlies (The Military Alphabet (Phonetic from Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta to Zulu)) here.

Most of us know, or at least have heard of the military alphabet in some way. We hear it being used in war and actions movies, video games, and even in comic books and novels. But most people have no idea why it is used, how or why it was formed, or why it has become one of the most effective forms of tactical radio communication – not only in the U.S. – but also across the globe.

In this post, we will discuss more regarding the military phonetic alphabet and its history, and we’ll delve into its components, purpose, and why the specific characters were chosen.
