HEADLINE: Sales Of Public Data To Marketers Can Mean Big $$ For Governments
DENVER (CBS4) β Roughly 60 percent of the mail we get can be classified as junk mail, but sometimes that flood of mail seems nonstop, and the pitches are often unsettlingly specific. This tends to happen particularly after major life events.
A CBS4 Investigation has uncovered that government agencies at all levels are selling personal information to marketing companies.
Eric Meer is a small business owner who works out of his home in Denverβs Stapleton neighborhood. Meer says he was deluged by direct mail after registering his small business with the Colorado Secretary of State. He says many of the ads he received were deceptive asking him to pay fees that he wasnβt required to pay.Wrong on so many levels. We are the most over-marketed society in history. I have no problem with trying to earn a buck, but crimeny, can you give the average joe 6 pack a break for cryin out loud? When you call to activate a new credit card (and many times you have to call to activate it) they force you to listen to their stupid promotional crap so that you can use your card – for which they derive a percentage at each and every use. Go into Gallery Furniture (never again for me) and you will hear Flatulous Mac get on the PA system and encourage people to buy more crap! Izzit possible to watch 2 hours of TV and not see an ad for Progressive Insurance? We are so overwhelmed with advertising and marketing that it all becomes noise and disinformation.

Looks like things are going to get ugly in NYC. Morning all.
Nypd beat cops posted a police-union warning in every precinct yesterday instructing officers not to go above and beyond the call of duty β or risk losing their jobs because of the new stop-and-frisk laws, The Post has learned.
βAll officers should take action if he or she sees a crime in progress, or if he or she sees that his or her life or the life of another person is in danger . . . [But] all officers should be careful not to initiate any law-enforcement action that could be construed as violating the new legislation and subject the officer to legal action,β read the memo by Patrolmenβs Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch. -

Is OFF button on your TV Set malfunctioning? I got tired of the same things myself and found that turning it off makes the evening hours much more enjoyable.
We have to work every evening with our Grandaughter on homework. Ms Simple and I found the noise from the TV distracted her. We turned it off a couple of years ago and let the DVR record anything of value; this allows us to hyperzoom thru the commercials.

This is a place from which the US needs to avoid like the plague. AlQueerda (think Muzzy Bro’hood) muzzies are warring against Alawhite muzzies and they are killing each other. Both sides are extremely hostile to US and Israeli interests, so let them kill each other. There is no good that can come from the US intervening in any way.
The fact that JugEars made his stupid “red line” comment in the throws of a heated political campaign does not change the reality of what I posted a few lines above. His buffoonery is now on full display and the insult to his pride will cause the needless deaths to some of our brave soldiers and a further depletion of our treasure for no benefit to America or its citizenry. -

See the setup? What could possibly go wrong? This is why the Marines are under the Navies supervision. Now the Marines are really going to need a baby sitter.
Obama: Military Sexual Assault ‘Undermines’ What We Stand ForBut his comments about sexual assault to roughly 3,000 Marines and Navy members highlighted another problem that has dogged in the military: high levels of sexual assault among the armed forces.
The Pentagon reported in May that there had been a 37 percent jump in cases of unwanted sexual contact in the military from 2011 to 2012, from gropings to rape. Sixty people have been removed from jobs as military recruiters, drill instructors and victims counselors as a result of screenings order following the report.
“I want you to hear it directly from me, the commander-in-chief,” Obama said. “It undermines what this military stands for and it undermines what the Marine Corps stands for when sexual assault takes place within.”Okay chillren play nice or Big Daddy will have to come and put you into time out.
But wait it gets better. what could possibly go wrong. big Daddy has already told them to behave.
Marines to open infantry training to enlisted womenThe Marine Corps will allow enlisted women to participate in basic infantry training beginning this fall as part of ongoing research to determine what additional ground combat jobs may open to female personnel.
Ongoing research? Ya’ll can rehash reopen the military as a social experiment debate. I am bored with that argument.
New enlisted female Marines will volunteer for spots in the service’s Infantry Training Battalion, mirroring a related effort allowing new female lieutenants to enroll in the Corps’ Infantry Officer Course, according to an official planning document obtained by Marine Corps Times. Titled “Assignment of Women in Combat Units,” the document is dated Aug. 16.
“Female Marines will have the opportunity to go through the same infantry training course as their male counterparts,” the document states. However, as with the research involving female officers, “female enlisted Marines who successfully complete infantry training as part of this research process will not be assigned infantry as a military occupational specialty and will not be assigned to infantry units.”Will not be assigned to infantry units? That is so much bull****. When the Air Force agreed to let women become pilots they were to serve in non-combat roles. Well guess what kiddies in 1993 the policy was rescinded. (Google it for your self.) If women are trained as infantry they will sooner or later be assigned to fill duties on the combat lines. I could regale you with tales of how the Air Force and Army routinely use women in front line security duties in combat zones, but it is not worth my time.
Oh and I really like this next story
DoD extends benefits to same-sex couples
Now we all know this is OLD NEWS, but this is almost too funny to believe as real, but there it is in a Marine publication for public consumptionThe Department of Defense plans to extend benefits to same-sex spouses of service members and DoD civilian employees.
In an Aug. 14 press release, the Defense Department announced spousal and family benefits will be available no later than Sept. 3 as long as service members provide valid marriage certificates.Ah that is nice they gotta be married. But wait!!!! What if they ain’t married?
TRICARE enrollment, basic allowance for housing and family separation allowance will be retroactive to June 26, 2013, the date of the Supreme Courtβs ruling. For members married after June 26, entitlements begin the day of the marriage.
Although benefits and entitlements are now equal to their male-female married counterparts, there still exists the unique situation that same-sex couples must first find a state that permits them to marry.Yeah that could be problematic. But as i said last night the military is embracing the worst of moral society. The DoD is gonna help em out. Nothing like extending even more special privileges.
Department plans to allow same-sex couples to take nonchargeable leave in order to travel to an area where they can get legally married.
And who does the beaufort.marines.mil website will be most grateful, most to benefit from this happy benevolence?
Marines may be especially grateful for such a benefit since many East Coast Marine Corps bases are located in states that donβt currently allow same-sex couples to marry. West Coast Marines shouldn’t need to travel much, as California is one of the 13 states that permit same-sex marriages.
So Simon you go right ahead reliving those wonderful days waking up drunk in a sewer ditch. Welcome to the new Marines. I cannot wait to read how you try to spin this off.

32 Mr Seagull,
I was only a simple NCO. Trying to divine the wisdom in orders that came from above was outside my paygrade.
As long as it was not blatantly illegal…I would snap to attention and say “Aye Aye Sir”.
We had gays in the Marines during my time. There was this one Gunnery Sgt we called “Gunny TwinkleToes”, but just not to his face. He was a scrawny little guy of 5’7″ or so and probably 140 lbs, but an expert in hand to hand fighting. I suspect he could slice and dice you with his Kabar faster than Vince’s (How to you like my nuts?) Lil Choppy.
Women in combat? Not a problem for me today…I am too old to be running around the jungle chasing bad guys, but if they can carry their load and won’t run when things get hairy; then I would have no problem serving with any Marine that can tote the note.

Great picture, but is it possible that the cartoonist got it a little wrong. Shouldn’t the caption read “Left Wing Extremists” if we consider it from the perspective of the times?
Consider the definition of Left WingThe political terms Left and Right were coined during the French Revolution (1789β1799), referring to the seating arrangement in the Estates General: those who sat on the left generally opposed the monarchy and supported the revolution, including the creation of a republic and secularization, while those on the right were supportive of the traditional institutions of the Old Regime. Use of the term “Left” became more prominent after the restoration of the French monarchy in 1815 when it was applied to the “Independents”.

You wrote:Whut did they do in your boot, perform a lobotomy as part of your indoctrination?
About 10 seconds after my arrival at MCRD San Diego, lo these many years ago, I was fairly certain that my supply of common sense was severely depleted. Just who were these crazy people and what are they yelling at me for?
A few years later I was one of the crazy people at Parris Island yelling at similar hapless souls. The boot camp for the WM’s (dubya memms) was also on Parris Island. They were largely segregated from the rest of the island with a separate mess and drill field. Their boot camp was disciplined, but lacking in any meaningful combat arms training. It was kind of like Air Force boot camp. They were taught how to march in step, fold their clothes, and had some mild PT.
It is slightly different today. The WM’s go thur a rigorous boot camp that stresses combat arms training. It makes good sense, given the asymetrical types of wars we are engaged in now. There are no European “front lines” anymore.
I would rather the WM’s be able to use a weapon should the “safe” perimeter be penetrated; after all one of the oldest traditions in the Marine Corps is that every Marine is a rifleman. There is no “thats not my job!”.

And after all that mealy mouth quatch you still have not answered my premise that the new rules do not bode well for a well trained, well armed, well disciplined military.

61 Mr Seagull,
I worked with a service technician in our company who had some king sized cojones when it came to dealing with clients. Texaco Offshore was one of our more challanging clients and their platforms were not known to be overly burdened with creature comforts.
This technician got into a beef with the platform supervisor and a heated argument went from the chow hall to the helicopter deck where our guy was going to depart the platform. The Texaco guy figured he would take a parting shot and told our technician that he would have him banned from all Texaco platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.
Quickly and without missing a beat; our technician asked the Texaco supervisor if he really had that much stroke and if he did, would he please make sure it happened.
I guess our guy figured that getting banned from all Texaco platforms wasn’t really punishment.
If you must put me on permanent ignore; then I suppose you have no choice but to do so.

Snoopy Happy Dance here. At long last a real storm has parked over us for an hour and a half, seemingly the only one for miles around. Lightning and thunder enough to rattle the dishes in the cupboard a couple of times. Also more than enough to bring the mares close to the barn but unfortunately under a huge old pecan. Spouse’s 60′ ham radio tower near the barn and house is one huge lightning rod that covers the area both are in, though we’re not sure how far its influence actually extends beyond that.
Hustled the mares in about 6:15 when there was a lull in the fireworks and got them settled, but on the way back to the house there was a big bolt and pretty quick very loud thunder not all that far away. The house is only 50′ from the barn and well under the protection of the ham tower, but you really don’t want to be out there when that happens. Felt like it was rocking the fillings in my teeth.
Contessa came into the barn dragging a small branch caught in her tail, and all three were soaked. Well it was a nice soft rainwater bath for them. Removed the branch before heading back to the house. Still light rain at 7. Thank you, Lord. -
