I almost forgot my traditional Veteran's day post.
I still have a little time since I'm on the west coast.
In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army
In Flanders Fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Down here we have to "worry" about the cockaded woodpecker. Entire areas of the training areas are closed off because of these damn birds. The environmentalists say it is because they only nest in older growth and all the older growth around here is all on the Army base. I had a cockaded woodpecker living in the tree over my house down here and it nested and bred quite well thank you.

Speaking of Veteran's Day, I wrote a post on my blog called "Coping" when I was a patient at Walter Reed. The post was later picked up and published in the book "The Sandbox" by Gary Trudeau. Here's a small tidbit.
Now I’m struggling with the mentality that I’m just a one-armed, four-fingered gimp. I have sharp memories of the accident that haunt me every day; the sudden explosion, the taste of blood in my mouth, realizing the bottom half of my arm was missing with nothing left but a couple of fingers and part of my hand hanging off by some skin and tendons, and then realizing how much pain I was in. All I could do was hold the end of my blown-off right arm with my shrapnel-filled left hand and wait for the medic to arrive and put a tourniquet on. The most terrifying part of the memories is constantly remembering my gunner screaming and then looking down and realizing my arm was nothing more than some ragged meat and two bones sticking out.

WA State law requires by the hour, a series of nasty wreaks with dump trucks paid by the load change it years ago. Loggers tend to be a bit cash strapped so the maintenance on the rigs can be a little shaky. Also for some reason a lot of outfits hire drivers with problem records.

Its just another ploy by the dems to screw the Military. If it were up to them we'd be fighting with rocks and sling shots. I've talked quite a bit to guys in the Army through the Clinton years.

Egyptian Lawmaker: Sexually Assault Female Jews Out Of Israel
"its a new form of resistance!"
It's already happened a number of times in northern Israel.
The "women" are usually around 13 years old and they have been raped.
It seems that the Israeli police are doing more to protect the women in northern Israel now, though, since these incidents seem to have been stopped.
What a bunch of low-life creeps:
"No. Sexual harassment… In my view, the [Israeli women] do not have any right to respond. The resistance fighters would not initiate such a thing, because their moral values are much loftier than that. However, if such a thing did happen to them, the [Israeli women] have no right to make any demands, because this would put us on equal terms – leave the land so we won't rape you. These two things are equal," she said.
Al-Imam added that she did not want "young Arab men to be interrogated," but rather, she wanted "these Zionist girls with Israeli citizenship to be expelled from our Arab countries. This is a form of resistance, and a way of rejecting their presence."

Rendevous
I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
When Spring comes back with rustling shade
And apple-blossoms fill the air--
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair.
It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath--
It may be I shall pass him still.
I have a rendezvous with Death
On some scarred slope of battered hill,
When Spring comes round again this year
And the first meadow-flowers appear.
God knows 'twere better to be deep
Pillowed in silk and scented down,
Where love throbs out in blissful sleep,
Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath,
Where hushed awakenings are dear . . .
But I've a rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town,
When Spring trips north again this year,
And I to my pledged word am true,
I shall not fail that rendezvous.

Had he and I but met
By some old ancient inn,
We should have set us down to wet
Right many a nipperkin!
But ranged as infantry,
And staring face to face,
I shot at him as he at me,
And killed him in his place.
I shot him dead because—
Because he was my foe,
Just so: my foe of course he was;
That's clear enough; although
He thought he'd 'list, perhaps,
Off-hand like—just as I—
Was out of work—had sold his traps—
No other reason why.
Yes; quaint and curious war is!
You shoot a fellow down
You'd treat, if met where any bar is,
Or help to half a crown.

Frozen Logger Lyrics
As I sat down one evening within a small cafe,
A forty year old waitress to me these words did say:
"I see that you are a logger, and not just a common bum,
'Cause nobody but a logger stirs his coffee with is thumb.
My lover was a logger, there's none like him today;
If you'd pour whiskey on it he could eat a bale of hay
He never shaved his whiskers from off of his horny hide;
He'd just drive them in with a hammer and bite them off inside.
My lover came to see me upon one freezing day;
He held me in his fond embrace which broke three vertebrae.
He kissed me when we parted, so hard that he broke my jaw;
I could not speak to tell him he'd forgot his mackinaw.
I saw my lover leaving, sauntering through the snow,
Going gaily homeward at forty-eight below.
The weather it tried to freeze him, it tried its level best;
At a hundred degrees below zero, he buttoned up his vest.
It froze clean through to China, it froze to the stars above;
At a thousand degrees below zero, it froze my logger love.
They tried in vain to thaw him, and would you believe me, sir
They made him into axeblades, to chop the Douglas fir.
And so I lost my lover, and to this cafe I come,
And here I wait till someone stirs his coffee with his thumb."

I have no beef with anyone in the forestry industries. I know about re-plants and harvesting.

We (an infantry company) went to the range to qualify with the SAW's one afternoon. The finance company that came in behind us were using M60s, which many of the NCOs were quite nostalgic for.
Couldn't believe that the accountants were better armed than the infanrty.
/Still- the NCO's wanted to make sure we didn't return any live ammo. There's something cathartic about firing off a 250+ round belt...even if we had to wait awhile for the barrel to cool

re: #28 logboy
Its just another ploy by the dems to screw the Military. If it were up to them we'd be fighting with rocks and sling shots. I've talked quite a bit to guys in the Army through the Clinton years. They didn't even have money for blanks, so on every training mission they were running around the woods yelling "bang! bang! bang!" They saw live ammo once a year to qualify, that was it.
in the Guard it got stupider than that. you'd drive up one month cause you had the fuel. but no ammo, and the next month, you'd stay home with ammo but no fuel, and all because no one wanted to report that they couldn't do what they were told, so they lied on the reports to higher.

re: #73 Sharmuta
Are they even doing much logging in WI? I thought paper valley was facing rough times.
No way... the towns up here were created by logging, every one of them. The lumber cut here from the giant White Pine built the large cities of Milwaukee and Chicago in the late 1800s. Logging is still very much alive in these parts, and is one of the few industries supplying jobs. Farms went by the wayside long ago. There are still paper mills around Duluth, Superior and spread around northern WI.

re: #60 BlueCanuck
We (an infantry company) went to the range to qualify with the SAW's one afternoon. The finance company that came in behind us were using M60s, which many of the NCOs were quite nostalgic for.
Couldn't believe that the accountants were better armed than the infanrty.
/Still- the NCO's wanted to make sure we didn't return any live ammo. There's something cathartic about firing off a 250+ round belt...even if we had to wait awhile for the barrel to cool
that's what 30 weight is for.... since they don't make LSA anymore....

I was overseeing my herd out on the llano when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards me. The driver, a young man dressed to the nines, leans out the window and asks me, “If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?” I figured this would be interesting so I said, “Sure, Why not?” The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The guy then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg , Germany. Within mere seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data is stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to me and says, “You have exactly 869 cows and calves.”
“That’s right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves,” I said.
I watched this clown select one of my animals and looked on amused as
he stuffed it into the trunk of his car.
Then I asked him, “Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?”
He thought about it for a second and then said, “Okay, why not?”
“You’re a Congressman for the U.S. Government”, I told him.
"Wow! That’s correct,” he exclaimed, “but how did you guess that?”
“No guessing required,” I answered. “You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don’t know a thing about cows...this is a herd of sheep."
"Now give me back my dog."

Wrong. We could have done something, but we did nothing. I don't buy the "we had an ineffective military" argument. We both know thats not true. When it came to human rights and doing the right thing Clinton is just a douche bag. Remember the Khobar Towers bombing where 19 Americans died? Clinton went to the Saudis to ask for money for his library but didn't even ASK about the people they had locked up for the crime. Talk about doing the dead Airmen justice.

Where I am, it's already November 12th. Among the great things that happened in history on November 12th:
1918 - Austria becomes a republic.
1936 - In California, the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge opens to traffic.
1946 - A branch of the Exchange National Bank in Chicago, Illinois opens the first ten drive-up teller windows.
1980 - The NASA space probe Voyager I makes its closest approach to Saturn and takes first images of its rings.
1981 - The Space Shuttle Columbia becomes the first spacecraft to be launched twice.
1982 - Lech Wałęsa, a Solidarity leader, is released from a Polish prison after eleven months.

No, it was my bad. Scripture is too precious to be used as a stick. And I tried to whack you with it.

We had to bail out the banks because they were the engine that effects all sectors of the economy. We do not have to bail out ever other industry, state, or city that is experiencing tough times. I just saw that Philadelphia will ask Obama for a bailout. Look for a deep depresion if we borrow, print money or soak the "rich" so we can throw money everywhere.

Many years ago during a time when a lot of U.S. cities were going bankrupt, or were on the verge of bankruptcy, Ed Rendell became mayor of Philadelphia and inherited a similar mess. He p*ssed off a lot of people (city unions in particular) with cuts and cost saving measures, but managed to get the city budget back in line in a couple of years.
And that's how he became Governor.
Last I heard, while states and cities all over the country are in trouble, Rendell announced that Pennsylvania is in "pretty good shape" to weather this storm.
Once upon a time voters held politicians accountable. Anymore, nobody's accountable for anything.

Well, out here Arnold is still trying to get his biceps around how big the deficit will be this year (and probably next year.) Estimates run over $20 billion. That is a lot of money, and the state is now saying they need to raise sales tax about 1.5 points! That, on-top of some pretty broad budget cuts.
As the Japanese found out in the last decade, raising sales tax just reduces commerce by about the same amount, when the economy is stagnant. Californian politicians are so used to a growing California economy that they don't realize that in a recession increasing taxes at the state level just moves commerce across state lines.

Right. I've met him, too. When you filter out some of the off-the-wall partisan party stuff he says (which, when you see him say in person, you'd SWEAR he was rolling his eyes ;-) he's a "good politician".
If there is such a thing. :-/
Meanwhile, Philadelphia has a wage tax, over and above the state tax, a +1% sales tax added to the state's, and higher business taxes than the surrounding counties. (I think it still does, anyway.)

geenstijl reportsthat he iraian ship where lgf reported aboutearlier
has arrived in Rotterdam
I put it through google translate and corrected some errors of the translating
In the port this afternoon is Deyanat MS Iran arrived, BNR reported, and according conspiracy theorists this is the largest dirty bomb ever created. Do you remember? Somali pirates hijacked the ship earlier this year, but they all mysteriously deceased when theyopened the holds. The pirates showed symptoms that appeared on many suspected radiation sickness. Lost hair, blood poop, bleeding gums and death. Why the ship is now in Rotterdam, is a mystery. Within the Port Authority would circulate a memo in which order is given to additional checks on Iran Deyanat. Think men in white suits, AIVD'ers and no doubt a lost American.
Update 08.00 Despite the strongest lead ever in the Dutch maritime history that we have a nuclear / illegal, scary and strange ship have, nothing happens. The Port Authority finds an examination of the contents are not needed. That would only make some friendly Muslim states angry.

Russia, the United States and the European Union still have time to agree on ways of ensuring security before missiles are deployed in Poland and Russia's Kaliningrad Region, the Russian foreign minister said on Tuesday.Sergei Lavrov said a security agreement based on respect for common interests would negate the planned deployment of a U.S. missile shield in central Europe, on the one hand, and the possibility of tactical missiles being stationed in Russia's western exclave bordering Poland, on the other.
[…]
Russia, which says the missile defense system is a threat to its national security, has indicated it will not address the U.S. proposals until after President-elect Barack Obama is {editied & translated from Rooshkie}inauguratedunder full command of Moscow, Beijing & Tehran in January.
This ought to go smoothly...dump Missile Defense, push through the LOST Treaty, Obummer's Global Poverty Act...eh..the ICC; yes...yes...yes...this ought to go quite smoothly....just watch that first step.
Mornin all...another day in paradise.

When they come up with their nutty ideas they all agree and slap them selves on the back and proclaim their genius with stupid cliches like: "Great minds think alike!"
Meanwhile the rest of us can sit back and remind ourselves that: "Fools seldom differ!"

And if Obama even lives up to 10% of his 'promises' and campaign pledges... we are in for one heckuva ride. I 'hope' he was only doing political pseudo speak and follows the path of all politicians and promised the world and fails to deliver. For some reason though I think he is more motivated to deliver than anyone can imagine.

Why can't the US government allow the big 3 auto manufacturers to go bankrupt? Is it because their unionized employees, bankers, suppliers and shareholders would get screwed? But that's what is supposed to happen in any bankruptcy, and then the company is supposed to emerge as a leaner, more competitive enterprise with a much lower cost structure.
What will government bailouts do except to prop up uncompetitive companies.
Would it not be better to let the big three go down, and save the bailout money to help the employees and suppliers to survive until the restructuring is done?

One of the reasons that Republicans can't hold onto power is that their policies promoting economic growth and low income tax rates--especially in the higher brackets--end up creating vast swarms of highly paid, undertaxed voters--who reward Republicans for this by voting Democratic.

There is no legitimate basis --- unless you believe that there is some sort of "higher principle" that demands waiving electoral results in order to ensure the implementation of some sort of policy.
That belief -- that laws, traditions, institutions should not be recognized if they hinder what is perceived to be necessary action -- is, of course, the root of totalitarianism.

That's definitely going to happen. Downs kids are currently being aborted. Short kids, ginger kids, potentially fat kids, any kid that doesn't fit the parent's idea of ideal.
The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
It still won't prevent the fairies from leaving changelings.

Precisely -- they want judicial activism, yet don't realize that most of what they decry as tyranny was the result of judicial action (or non-action).

I know I should post this on the Bush thread, but I want to say it here anyway. Thank you, George Bush for your service to this country. A country that had artists and leftists making movies about your assassination. T-shirt makers raking in cash for countless moonbat slogans.(BushHitler) Unlike those ungrateful, SAFE Amercians, I would have voted for you to keep me safe for the next 8 years.

I thought she looked just fine but, it was an interesting choice of colors. Something tells me she didn't wear it as a Reagan-Red.
I still cannot get over the dress she wore last Tuesday night. Its symbolism just screamed.

I just saw on CNN that Michele's mom will be moving into the White House. Harry Truman's mother-in-law was the last one, and they say she hated Harry's guts.
This whole mother-in-law thing is going to set a very dangerous precedent.

So, dissent should be allowed only before an election?
No, but the DAY AFTER the election? And "dissent" expressed against the VOTERS?
There was fear in police departments in big cities that there might be riots if Obama did not win the election. If there had been, you could call that "dissent," too. But I would call it really bad behavior, chaos, and anti-democratic mob rule.

Sadie gets a phone call from one of her sons..."Mom! I won the election! Now I want you to be there for my inauguration on January 20."
"Oh, I don't know...you know how I hate to travel."
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll send Air Force One for you. You'll be traveling in luxury and comfort. It's a big day for me, and I want you to be there to share it."
"Well, okay..."
Comes January 20th and Sadie has a front row seat at the inauguration. She leans over to the woman beside her and whispers:
"See that young man with his hand on the bible?.......His brother's a doctor!"
Good day, ALL!™

I don't know if you have mentioned it, but I sure have. Fox used to have a good column that publicized ridiculous incidents around the country, but that is long gone. Unfortunately.
When we lose our tolerance we are lost as a people and as a nation.

Ah! Yep --- that was the case. Republicans were demoralized by the media and an incredibly inept McCain campaign. That the latter is now blaming Palin for their troubles -- the woman who have them the only bump of the campaign -- shows what a bunch of whiney losers they really are.

I'm still trying to figure out how a full 62.2% of the adults age 18+ in the state of Vermont showed up at the polls. In a pigs eye they did.
