November 2012 - Argghhh!

Cuz, like that's what we do, here at the Castle Argghhh! Veteran's Shelter, Farm and Fiber Studio... Like many old vets, he's got some weight and balance issues...

Come January 21st, I was looking forward to retiring this Daily Devotional from The Castle. Instead, for the next four years, we are all stuck with this regular reminder of their contempt for our National Symbols. Today, in reflection my dark mood, I will indulge you with the flaggy attitude of 52% of our fellow countrymen. WARNING - Video links over the fold I find offensive, and may be not suitable for an office environment...

Another story with curious handling... given the media-generated (and largely self-contained therein) furore over Senator Rubio's remarks... Dumb politician with silly name doesn’t know how old the Earth is. H/t, Jim Treacher.

In Spain, their Legionaries use their goats to mark the pace of the troops. Thus, the fast double time cadence of their march. Watch by clicking on the goat BOQ

An old Top Secret message has been found, 68 years too late. But what does it say? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VX1137Zg9dU Full story: HERE BOQ

Just my thought. BOQ

This image shows a M1937 Field Range being used by WWII Soldiers on Thanksgiving. At Thanksgiving time, Sgt Louis S. Wallace, Meadville, Miss., prepares two of the many thousands of turkeys that have arrived from the states. U.S. Army Quartermaster Miami-Valley Veterans-Museum Lieutenants Tim and John Donovan both ate food cooked on M1937 Field Ranges and out of mess kits and canteen cups like that, wearing essentially those helmets, up into the late 80's. Happy Thanksgiving all - especially...

I weep for the institutions so ill-served, and a media with such skewed reportage values. As in, Generals Gone Wild, Whoa! Benghazi, Fast and Furious, both with Real Dead People... [crickets chirp].
