I am officially no longer a FOBbit!

Ummmmm -- it's not because I've been going out with the patrols (fat chance of *that* happening, curse the luck).Aaaaaand it's not because I'm living outside the wire.It's just because I'm no longer living on a FOB.*sigh*Forward Operating Base Warrior has been redesignated Contingency Operating Site Warrior.Only thing I can come up with now is COSplayer. Or COSiner. Oh, right, *you* can do better? Go ahead...*snerk*...

Our Keynesian President

Though I did attend and volunteer for an August 28th rally by The Mall, I most certainly did not attend to this one. But at least I'm glad that he's not Austrian. Boq

Whew!

That deep sigh of relief was from me -- I just got my new LOA (Letter of Authorization). An LOA is the gummint version of the hall pass that allows a contractor the privilege of working in a war -- uhhhhhhhhh -- an area that does not meet OSHA requirements.It also allows me to use the PX and the DFAC, and is supposedly the only thing I'll need to get emergency medical treatment in a military facility. Actually, the LOA is just my backup -- I get faster results flashing my "US Army Retired"...

"And then the fight started."

Check your powers of deduction, and see if you can figure out exactly *when* it started in each of the following scenarios:I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift. The next year, I didn't get her a gift at all. When she asked me why, I replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"And ...______________________________ My wife and I were watching "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" while we were in bed. I turned to her...

So, how was your weekend?

Mine was pretty good. Built a dog house (no, not for me) saw a movie, fired the howitzer...The movie was RED, with Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, John Malkovich, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, and some other folk. Very much a cartoon - I was having to suspend disbelief about every five minutes or so, but such was the strength of the cast (and intended obviousness of the campy style) that it didn't bother me too much, niggler-of-details kind of guy that I am. Besides, I liked John Malkovich's...

Bloomberg, has anyone told you...

...you are the epitome of asininity ? Well, okay, that's really a shared title by Algore and Harry Reid, but you're the third stooge in that troupe.

Wow. Just... wow.

It's nice to be noticed, so to speak, from a wholly unexpected source. This is possibly the nicest note that wasn't from my mother or wife that I have ever received.My company does not take this day as a holiday. To be fair - just before I joined the firm, we traded it for the day after Thanksgiving, so we get a corporate 4 day holiday. So, today I took a day of vacation, as my Rotary Club does a pancake breakfast fundraiser (disabled vets eat free). Then I did the whole "royal wave"...

Just when I thought there was an argument for the TSA doing what it does --a legal but lame one to be sure, I see this at ArsTechnica. Mild salty language alert, but apropos.

Saturday Soliloquy

WHAT A REAL WOMAN DOESA real woman is a man's best friend. She will never stand him up and never let him down. She will reassure him when he feels insecure and comfort him after a bad day.She will inspire him to do things he never thought he could do; to live without fear and forget regret.She will enable him to express his deepest emotions and give in to his most intimate desires.She will make sure he always feels as though he's the most handsome man in the room and will enable him to be...

The Hermit Kingdom's Crazy Uncle in the attic...

Dusty opened the bidding on this topic with his post about the NorK "Bluffer's Guide" website. Heh. Basically, the details there tanked the post I was building on the topic, so I decided to take a different approach.In the Bluffer's Guide thread, you see many of the easy to find and assess sites - and do so using the Amateur Intel Analyst's favorite tool, Google Earth.It's a wonderful example of TechInt - technical intelligence, which we are very good at.The problem is the...
