Nobody Mourns Navy Seals

BUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Insurgents shot down a U.S. military helicopter during fighting in eastern Afghanistan, killing 31 Americans, most of them belonging to the same elite Navy SEALs unit that killed Osama bin Laden, as well as seven Afghan commandos, U.S. Officials said Saturday. It was the deadliest single loss for American forces in the decades-old war.It’s certainly not a day for email.
God be with their families, and may their deeds in combat be just as celebrated as the other members of the team who killed bin Laden.
From Maureen Dowd:
The Sony film by the Oscar-winning pair who made “The Hurt Locker” will no doubt reflect the president’s cool, gutsy decision against shaky odds. Just as Obamaland was hoping, the movie is scheduled to open on Oct. 12, 2012 — perfectly timed to give a home-stretch boost to a campaign that has grown tougher. He has told people what a thrill it was to meet SEAL Team 6 — and the dog Cairo — which pulled off the hit, noting that the men looked less young and fearsome than he expected, and more like guys working at Home Depot.
Gee Obama, if the Seals look like Home Depot guys, what do you think YOU look like to the Navy Seals?

Marines: Planting Flowers In St. Louis
The week was more than just showing off equipment and capabilities, it focused on a desire to help the community, with Marines volunteering at dozens of locations throughout the city. (More about that in a minute.)Right. Sure..I love the Marines, but excuse me….they were here for training exercise. There is a $556 million, five year training program which is part of a $2.3 billion FEMA project to have civilian authorities in states such as Massachusetts (Boston), South Carolina and Washington work with the military to develop a response plans to a range of potential disasters, from a hurricane and earthquake to a terrorists attack and a pandemic flu.
Zuckerman would be proud.
They’d had a few drinks and were walking on Chestnut Street at about 2:30 a.m. Monday when two men asked if they wanted to buy jewelry, said a Marine Corps spokeswoman, Capt. Kate Vanden Bossche. The Marines, who weren’t in uniform, said they didn’t want any jewelry; and the suspects began quarreling with the Marines, police say. According to Vanden Bossche, one Marine started to pull out a pocketknife when he was punched in the side of the head and dropped the knife. That Marine, 22, has a black eye, she said. A robber picked up the knife and the second Marine, 21, surrendered his wallet.
After all, that’s something, we know they are good at.
Nobody Gets Email: To Honor and To Guard

This was something I bet not many people outside of Santa Barbara know about. I know I didn’t. It makes you really appreciate the men and women who serve the country, past, and present. It also reminds you that there are really just evil people out there trying to control free people from expressing their thanks to those soldeirs who died in battle. God bless these vets.
(Thanks to Tom Beebe)

Santa Barbara:
The first picture and the last picture are taken at the beach in Santa Barbara right next to the pier.
There is a veterans group that started putting a cross and candle for every death in Iraq and Afghanistan. The amazing thing is that they only do it on the weekends. They put up this graveyard and take it down every weekend.
Guys sleep in the sand next to it and keep watch over it at night so nobody messes with it.
Every cross has the name, rank and D.O.B. and D.O.D. on it.
Very moving, very powerful—so many young volunteers. So many 30 to 40 year olds as well.
Amazing!
Did you know that the ACLU has filed a suit to have all military cross-shaped headstones removed? And that they filed another suit to end prayer from the military completely. They’re making great progress. The Navy Chaplains can no longer mention Jesus’ name in prayer thanks to the ACLU and our new administration.
Prayer:
‘Heavenly Father, hold our troops in Your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in this our time of need. These things I humbly ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Amen.’
Trump’s New Plane VS The Nightwatch, Which would YOU Choose?
Nobody Flashes
Once upon a time, I wanted to be a pilot. The closest I got was an interview as an airline stewardess, which I flunked because I said, “Doesn’t the stewardess have to learn a little bit about flying just in case the pilot has a heart attack?” I’m sure I had that “I’m so excited at just the thought that my eyes pupils have dilated at least 50 centimeters!”
Okay, I was sixteen, but I figured it was worth a try.
Today, I found out that there is not only an Air Force One, but another plane (747), called the Nightwatch, where the Secretary of Defense rides around with all the right buttons to push in case we have a nuclear attack. Actually, I thought our policy was NOT to strike back if attacked, thanks to Bill Clinton, but then again maybe they changed their minds, and decided just ignore that little piece of insanity.
And since we are talking about planes, check out Donald Trump’s new prize, which he bought from Paul Allen for a mere $100,000.
If I had to pick between the two, which would I pick? Ah….the one that contained the most men of course! If you’ve seen one big screen, you’ve seen em’ all.
(Sorry, I am just NOT going to talk about much till Weiner goes and has his baby.)
Remember D-Day— You Weiner!

Nobody Reports
D-Day is almost over with, and what are we talking about? Can you say…hot dog? The LAST thing I wanted to hear on D-Day was a confession of a Weiner man. So, how do I fight this lame depression on this day of complete disrespect for our country’s finest? I mean, really, couldn’t he have waited at LEAST one day?
I post a bit of truth and humor. (thanks to amfortas)

In light of the dispatching of Osama Bin Laden:
ALERTS TO THREATS IN 2011 EUROPE: BY JOHN CLEESE (or at lease attributed to him, though I have my doubts. I have added America)
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Libya and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.
The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s get the Bastards.” They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.
Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”
The Germans have increased their alert state from… “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.”
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled. BYO Four X.” So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.
America has moved down from their third stage, “Brother can you lend me your Country” to “I have a big stick so hand over your Wallet”. The lowest level of “Stop whining and buy the damned coffee” has not been heard since Henry Kissinger’s day. The two high level States are a State Secret but are rumoured to be “ Obama wants YOU” and “Oprah has needs”

To all those that are having a great time tonight…here’s a few, not too politically correct jokes…and a special rendition of a great jump.
Oh…and Happy 100th Birthday to the memory of President Reagan, and all those that loved him.
Oh…and I’m betting on the same team that Shirley bets on to win the Superbowl.
