Omnibus

My oh my how long it has been. I believe it is time for an omnibus, everything in one post, except for the Mustache of the Week. There will be a special double post tomorrow, or Saturday, or Sunday, or I'm off next Thursday maybe it'll be a triple. Everybody get on the omnibus!

...I am ninja, he is ninja, she is ninja, too...oh wait I don't have a theme song

The military:

What the heck is up with the Air Force tanker deal? Give it to an American company to build an aircraft for the AF in the US. Northrop-Grumman got a huge deal with the F-35 and what was one of the first things that happened: we outsourced and exported it. Perhaps Boeing deserves to have the KC-767 deal. I think so, America thinks so.

Politics:

POTUS: thumbs up for Bush. He signed a bill into law that will not only protect America, but the government and business.

Election 2008: If I see one more "whose more patriotic?" special I'm going to stop watching news all together. Here's the bottom line, "We can have no "50-50" allegiance in this country. Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all." That is all that needs to be said, thank you President Theodore Roosevelt.

Congress: emphasis on con. There was a big stink with Democratic leadership in the Senate over the most recent homeland security bill. "How could a Democratic Congress let this happen," was the gist of it. Well let me tell you how, perhaps there was principle over party platform. The party platforms are built upon principles not the other way around. (this will have to be a post all within itself) Basically, one party cannot always be in opposition to the other just because it is the other party.

Religion:

I preach on Sunday, come and hear me. Grace Gospel Church, Pettyville, West Virginia 6:00 PM.

Sports:

How 'bout those Rangers! Texas Rangers. On a mustache note, I quote the American Mustache Institute: "
"The only choice for the final roster spot on the 2008 American League All-Star Team is Jason Giambi. He not only represents the great Yankees dynasty previously led by the likes of Reggie Jackson – the father of the mustache in modern-day baseball – but Giambi represents the hopes and dreams of the previously downtrodden mustached American, a breed that was on the U.S. Endangered Species list as recently as 2005. Clearly, the voting public must takes into account Giambi’s powerful lip fur, as it signifies great intellect, good looks, and the ability to stare down the most powerful of martial arts gurus. And while none of that may matter on the baseball diamond, it’s the most compelling reason offered for All-Star status in the history of the game."

On a sad note:

I
t is with regret and deep sadness that we announce the death of Don S. Davis who played General George Hammond for 8 years on Stargate SG1. He passed away on June 29th 2008 after suffering a heart attack. Don S. Davis was a magnificent actor who played General Hammond like no other. A general that always came down on the side of his team. A general who wasn't afraid to pick up a shotgun and take on some replicators. A General that always fought for what was right. Don S. Davis and General Hammond will be sadly missed. You can see Don S. Davis' final performance as general Hammond in the upcoming Stargate movie; Stargate Continuum. ~From the Facebook Group: Can I see your Chappaeye?

Sorry folks no ranting or rambling today, short, sweet, to the point.
