Mark Steyn has posited that Europe is rapidly approaching (and perhaps has even passed) a demographic point of no return. Dharma’s recent article regarding the extermination of Christian references during the Christmas season in Britain seems to re-enforce the point. I ask you here at JU and beyond the walls of this blog to answer these questions: Can Europe reverse the trend or is it already too late? Wi...
Greywar – Agent of the Vast Doughnut Conspiracy Part 2 Part one found here . The next morning after we recruits were subjected to a very long battery of medical testing we were finally allowed to see a career counselor who offered us a list of MOSs (Military Occupational Specialties) that were “the only ones available right now”. As I recall I was offered the opportunity to become an 88M (Truck driver), 92F (Fueler), and 54B (Nuclear, Biolo...
Greywar – Agent of the Vast Doughnut Conspiracy *Thanks to chiprj for helping to fix this article! Note : Sorry for the prolonged absence. My perverse nature actually made it more difficult to start writing again the more people clamored for it. I know, its weird. Nonetheless I am back and with a multi-parter no less! (Settle in folks this is a long one...) - G I was a loony left liberal. Thats right folks, I was a dyed-in-the-wool ...
Look... I love Bill. I thought Bill was a breath of fresh air on the scene years ago. Problem is that the rest of the industry has been catching upt o Bill's schtick and now even the loathed (by the far-right at least) Steven Colbert is doing Bill better than Bill himself. I still turn to Bill for coverage of important issues that aren't media darlings (child abuse, ACLU hypocracy, crooked judges) but for sheer enjoyment and "everyman" perspective on current events I wil...
There are three in my current office who could serve in an intelligence capacity: Skyler, Kenny, Robert. Each has the aptitude necessary for intelligence work.. should I push them? God, I hate being away from the national need.
Hmmm I am very confused by this statement from Zawahiri : “Bush, do you know where I am? I am among the Muslim masses.” I find it odd since we all know (courtesy of the American Left) that the Muslim masses are misunderstood adherents of a peaceful religion and the terrorists are a tiny minority not supported by the majority … Oh wait… hmmm now I get it… I am not too worried about the full might of Arab nations though... I...
Folks, this one won’t be for the easily bored or for people who only stop by my blog to see creative use of the F-word. If you don’t care about how intelligence is collected, processed, and disseminated by the U.S. military just stop here. Might I suggest Fark.com instead? Ok, now that those guys are gone we can get right to the geeky heart of the matt...
Foreword : Look, sometimes it takes me a bit to write things up as I lack *any* sort of writer discipline. I think of 5 articles a day to write and write about one article every 5 days instead. Sorry. Lileks I ain’t . Oh and this one will ramble a bit more than the previous installment so bear with me. Background (feel free to skip to the Meat ) : Having completed my initial tour as an interc...
It was my first day in Voice Operations Branch (VOB) and I was slowly adjusting to the realization that I would be spending this whole year in the company of drunks, whoremongers, and other assorted losers. My first day was spent proving that I could turn this : into something machine readable like this: CTM KDN MEF FEF GE VEM LAE KUF GE VDV FE FHV LSK KH ME KDM GAL KD VA LA ME KHM KDV FD LLUV BBEU LE KUGG BE. ...
In response to this (misspelled) article I have shamelessly copied this from PWOT … an excerpt: DEATHS LINKED TO U.S. MILITARY... Posted 11.17.05 ...as reports surface that White Phosphorous artillery shells used by troops have resulted in the deaths of Iraqi insurgents . The burning shells are normally used to light areas of the battlfield at night, so that the enemy can be spotted and then driven away with loud bursts of rap music...

Once again I risk the revocation of my membership in the VRWC by not following the subliminal commands sent out by the mothership but I like living dangerously. Tom "The Hammer" Delay's current woes are of his own making. Delay is one of those Congressmen who exude the "Old Boy" aroma from every pore and I am happy to see him step down from his leadership position in the House and I would be even happier to see him resign from Congress ...
I came across this over at J. Lileks outstanding ScreedBlog, There is a lot more to it so go read it . An excerpt: At some point the adamantine skulls of the rally organizers might be penetrated by the realization that the “anti-war” cause is not served by letting the death-to-Israel crowd trot alongside, or diluting the message with a million other complaints. Middle America might have legitimate gripes with the Administration’s war policy, but they’re disinclined to side with ...
A simple yet subtle demonstration of socio-economic forces : Let us begin at 0900 Fort Hood time with 4 Army Privates... Worthy, Walker, Fiffie, and Neddo. Split them into two teams of Worthy/Fiffie and Walker/Neddo and give each team the task of mowing 4 acres of grass with one push mower and one weed whacker to each team. Our NCOIC's for this detail give each team slightly different sets o...
Frankly I don't even have anything witty to say about this sort of shit : Last Updated: Wednesday, 17 August 2005, 07:11 GMT 08:11 UK Bombs explode across Bangladesh A series of simultaneous bomb blasts have taken place across Bangladesh, reports say. "There are bomb blasts all over the country. We have reports of some injuries but no fatalities yet," senior police official Abdul Kaiyum told AFP. The explosions went off in the capital Dhaka as well as several other cities...
