    FP: So it sounds like sci-fi space warfare is transplanted naval warfare, but a very mixed bag when it comes to realism?
    CW: It is kind of a mixed bag, but “realistic” is a word that I have problems with. For a lot of these models, the assumption drives the conclusion. The ability of your laser cannon drives a lot of the problem.

    Texas Revolution begins at Gonzales
    October 02, 1835
    On this day in 1835, fighting broke out at Gonzales between Mexican soldiers and Texas militiamen. When Domingo de Ugartechea, military commander in Texas, received word that the American colonists of Gonzales refused to surrender a small cannon that had been given that settlement in 1831 as a defense against the Indians, he dispatched Francisco de Castaรฑeda and 100 dragoons to retrieve it on September 27. Though Castaรฑeda attempted to avoid conflict, on the morning of October 2 his force clashed with local Texan militia led by John Henry Moore in the first battle of the Texas Revolution. The struggle for the “Come and Take It” cannon was only a brief skirmish that ended with the retreat of Castaรฑeda and his force, but it also marked a clear break between the American colonists and the Mexican government.

    Lost Battalion shipped to Singapore
    October 02, 1942
    On this day in 1942, 200 men of the Lost Battalion were shipped to Singapore as prisoners of war of the Japanese. Most of the remaining battalion members followed nine days later. The unit, the Second Battalion, 131st Field Artillery, originated as part of the Thirty-sixth Infantry Division, United States Army, in 1940 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt mobilized the Texas National Guard. The division, which soon grew to almost 16,000 men from Texas and surrounding states, reported to Camp Bowie, near Brownwood. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Second Battalion, en route to the Philippines, was diverted to Australia and from there boarded a Dutch ship bound for Surabaya, Java, to provide ground support for the Nineteenth Heavy Bombardment Group. The Second Battalion was left behind when the bomber group and other military forces were evacuated, earning the unit the title of the โ€œLost Battalion.โ€ When the Japanese captured the Dutch East Indies, they imprisoned the Texans, who thus began a harrowing trip to the work camps of Burma, where the men suffered brutality and death while laboring on various building projects including construction of the famous โ€œBridge over the River Kwai.โ€

    This is satire, of course. But it’s fooling a lot of people because it really isn’t far off the mark in terms of other wildly crazy conspiracy theories hatched by Minnesota’s favorite Bagger-Babe.

    “I have to ask Ms. Bachmann, why is that a problem? I mean some children like the taste of falafel, what’s wrong with that?”
    “Chris, falafel is a gateway food,” responded Bachmann, “It starts with falafel, then the kids move on to shawarma. After a while they say ‘hey this tastes good, I wonder what else comes from Arabia?’ ”
    “Before you know it our children are listening to Muslim music, reading the Koran, and plotting attacks against the homeland.”
    “We need to stop these terror cakes now, before they infiltrate any further.”

    I’m no so sure that the Crazy Lady from Minnesota will be re-elected this time around.

    Unclassified documents from the Central Intelligence Agency suggest the answer may have to do with so-called talking points written by the CIA and distributed to members of Congress and other government officials, including Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. The documents, distributed three days after the attacks that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens, said the events were spontaneous.

    On another note, I don’t think I’ll ever be completely finished restoring my antique Rhodes analog stage piano, and I’m quite certain that I will never play it nearly as well as Bob Mayo does on this cut from Frampton Comes Alive! In addition to the killer rides, the background riffs and fills throughout the piece are a subtle but stunning display of his expertise, both on the Rhodes and the B3, which he plays simultaneously, of course.
    Which reminds me…

    The administrationโ€™s response to the impending failure of its signature legislation — a failure resulting entirely from its flawed design — has been to ignore the inconvenient portion of the law. In May, the Internal Revenue Service decided it would issue tax credits to people who get insurance from exchanges established by the federal government. It has thus exposed firms and individuals to taxes and penalties without any legal authorization. Obviously, that situation sets the stage for lawsuits.

    Wouldn’t it have been easier for the horse to pull Mayor Parker around in a wagon rather than carry her on its back? The mayor needs to do some of the things she preaches concerning health and proper food consumption. “Do as I say, not as I do” comes into play here. Wonder if the mayor was one of the reasons why Houston was once the “fattest” city?

    Mitt Romney hates stoners. And chemo patients. If he had a lick of sense he’d duck the issue, just like the corporatist-democrat candidate is doing.

    I oppose marijuana being used for recreational purposes and I believe the federal law should prohibit the recreational use of marijuana,” he said.
    As the Washington Post points out, his decision to use the “recreational” distinction is strange, especially in the context of a question about a state that has legalized marijuana for non-recreational use. Be that as it may, the Romney campaign later reiterated its steadfast support for continued prohibition on the substance in a statement to the Post.
    “Governor Romney has a long record of opposing the use of marijuana for any reason,” a spokesperson said. “He opposes legalizing drugs, including marijuana for medicinal purposes. He will fully enforce the nationโ€™s drug laws, and he will oppose any attempts at legalization.

    Cannabis decrim and/or medical cannabis reeferendums are on the ballots in 8 states. No, it won’t make or break his chances, but it seems odd to me that this long after the primary, with virtually all of the indelibly red social conservative authoritarian states under his belt, that he would still be pandering to the Nixon republicans.

    #89 Hammie: No one died as a result of the break-in of the Watergate building, although several went to prison, it forced the resignation of a sitting POTUS and punished the country with Jimmah Cawtah. Lots of people have died as a result of FandF and Operation Castaway in Flarda. JugEars is actively impeding and covering up blatantly criminal activity that resulted in the deaths of over 50 people. Because there was more than one operation working using the same MO, the plan had to be known all the way up to the top, ie Holder and JugEars. Knowing full well the people to whom these weapons were being sold and their behavior, there can be no doubt that they (ATF, Justice, and JugEars himself) KNEW, that people would be murdered with these weapons: This makes all who knew complicit/accomplices of murder. Being POTUS or AG does not shield one from murder charges and this should not be dropped after the election however it comes out. Holder, JugEars and others need to go to jail over this fiasco.

    AND WHO DO THEY BLAME?
    Not Islam.
    Not their leadership.

The stewardesses (that’s what they were called back then) would hold a variety of in-flight contests. One flight, there was a prize for whomever had the most keys on their key ring. People were holding theirs up – five keys, thirteen keys — and then MIL held up her key ring.
    She and my father-in-law owned apartments, plus their home, and their cars. She had 31 keys on her key ring.
    She won.

    The car is one of those keyless ones. So I just have a 2″ x 3″ plastic card that I put in my pocket. On it is the key to the backdoor. Wallet and comb and I’m set.

    Nice picture of the mayor, promoting some city event I’m sure.
    Having a lifelong partner I’ll forgo comment regarding her desirability.
    She seems like a nice person though.

    President Romney would honor President Obama’s amnesty for illegal aliens. Seems like the honorable thing to do.

    Young illegal immigrants who receive temporary work permits to stay in the United States under an executive order issued by President Barack Obama would not be deported under a Mitt Romney administration, the GOP presidential hopeful told The Denver Post Monday.

    Mrs. Shamaal’s Subaru Outback has paddle shifters.
    I have no idea why.

    I have a large leather shaving kit that fits on the truck floorboard
    behind the stick shift. It holds two double keyrings, medications, wallet, pocket knives, pens, documents, notepad, business cards, more pens, lighters, more pens, test reagents and two fIve-year-old french fries.

    It’s not a real wedding reception until some slav gets arrested.

    Apparently Harris County Deputy Sheriff Kevin Meyer’s Saturday night wedding reception was a doozy, because at some point, management at the SPJST* Hall on Beall Street in the Heights area wanted to pull the plug on the shindig.

    I’m a minimalist when it comes to pants pockets. Phone/wallet combo, 3 keys, and a little cash. And that’s on the rare occasions that I actually wear pants.

    Back from NNO.
    Chik-fil-A was there and they must have donated over a thousand chicken sammiches for this deal tonight. I got a little burnt out being tied to a booth tonight, instead of free to circulate and leave when I got tired of it. The particpants are about 95% apartment dwellers in the near northwest, basically there to cruise the booths and collect freebies.
    My job was to work a ball toss for kiddos and let them select a cheezy toy prize if they scored. Had what looked like homeless adults want to get in line to toss the ball and win a prize. Had women I recognized as bringing their same kids back through several times to play again for these nickel-and-dime prizes. Had a woman show up with a crying kid holding a broken thingamajig that they wanted to trade in. The thing they had was a souvenir handout from some other booth that the boy had broken. This was all very depressing. I don’t think I will take NNO duty again.

    Putting the Houston Quilt Show on my calendar. I’m glad someone reminded me of this – I was potentially planning something else for that weekend.
    Every year, I stand in awe before some of these works of art. Last year’s winners were absolutely stunning in artistic design and execution. As usual. /bowing, repeating “I’m not worthy”

    The Washington Post Co. said Monday that it has agreed to acquire a majority stake in Celtic Healthcare, a provider of skilled home health-care and hospice services in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions.

    Apparently, Barack Obama hates white people.

    The racially charged and at times angry speech undermines Obamaโ€™s carefully-crafted image as a leader eager to build bridges between ethnic groups. For nearly 40 minutes, using an accent he almost never adopts in public, Obama describes a racist, zero-sum society, in which the white majority profits by exploiting black America. The mostly black audience shouts in agreement. The effect is closer to an Al Sharpton rally than a conventional campaign event.

    I refuse to carry anything in my pockets other than the bare necessities. I hate carrying around all that weight. The droid phone I wear clipped to my belt is probably heavier than the rest of what I carry.
    I carry a small card case, a moneyclip and the key to whichever vehicle I’m driving. I do have a leather case in the car or truck with coins, other key rings, extra glasses and a pocketknife.
    I wouldn’t put anything in my pockets if I didn’t have to do so.

    Thought liberals were against animal abuse.

    I’m a registered Independent, Constitutional Conservative with Liberal leanings.
    I too am against animal cruelty but, unlike the Libs, I don’t trash the military and law enforcement all the time.
    It’s funny though that since the Libtards hate the military (they always have), they are the first ones to scream for protection when they get attacked.
