  • The President got punked

    Obama likes to think his good intentions and a winning smile will see him triumph diplomatically. Apparently he forgot to clue his piano player in. WASHINGTON -- Chinese-born pianist Lang Lang gave a musical shout out to America-hating patriots in his...
  • Some quality UJ hatin'

    This is top notch hatin' and I just have to share. Thanks to Carrie for pointing it out. I think my remarks are being mis construed. Let me repeat what I wrote previously: The other thing I wish to dispel is the notion that somehow SF or SEAL units...
  • Is That Your Middle Finger???

    I really have to stop cruising the internet while eating pastries. I finally got the donut cleaned off of my computer (sticking with the cop theme) and get to dish on the unbelievable stupidity I found that Andrew Breitbart had over at Big Peace. Let...
  • The Grapes

    In the color-coordinated world of an aircraft carrier flight deck, those wearing the purple shirts are those guys and gals that take care of the fuel-related aspects of the carrier. Called the Grapes, these folks make sure the aircraft get the fuel they...

  • UFC- Fight for the Troops

    This is just exactly what we are all about. Some mayhem in the cage and for an awesome cause. UFC- Fight for the troops. Spike assumes its fans are illiterate, so there is no text I can copy to tell you about the bouts, just a lot of flashing garbage...
  • Uncle Jimbo for Press Secretary

    The time to strike is now, Gibby is packing his bags of lies and heading out to rake in some shady unregulated political baksheesh. But you know what that means, it's time to put at least a couple of nuggets of truth a day in the White House Press...
