09:26 – I just put together another couple boxes of stuff to ship off to “our” USMC unit in Afghanistan. They’re due to rotate back to the US in December, so we’ll have to find another unit to send stuff to. I might as well start looking for one now. There’s no reason we can’t overlap.
Inventory of the chemistry and biology kits is getting low, so we need to build another two or three dozen of each. We have most of what we need in terms of subassemblies except chemical bags. The chemicals are already bottled and labeled, so it’s just a matter of assembling the bags.
Your prediction about Republicans caving appears to be correct. BBC reported this morning that Repubs will give Nobama a 6 week extension for “talks” apparently based on some new figures that show Americans blame Repubs for the stalement 53% to something in the 30’s for Dems.

Hey Bob, as a former USMC parent, thanks! And those girl Marines are tough, the wife and I met several of them at 29 Palms. Many of them are in base security. One of the young ladies was pregnant (you could barely tell she was 6 months along due to her belly muscles). Later, I wondered out loud if she would halt a forced march to deliver and the wife hit me.
More tales of woe from the veterans. My son’s old platoon sergeant had to take medical retirement when he blew out his knee and was not fixable after 3 surgeries. He went back to school to get a degree using the GI bill and the VA has not paid his tuition bill nor his living expenses ($1,500 per month). His wife is employed but they have a toddler so he is considering dropping out and finding a job.
Yup, Boner caved to Obummer. Does Boner really think Obummer will keep any promises. How stupid can people be.
And this. I wonder if the Park Police, ICE Nazis, etc. will pull their guns to clear these bozos:

Hey, maybe we could give these guys a ride to Mordor:

My aunt just sent me this (it was accompanied by a picture of a very old woman with a S&W model 629 (my personal favorite)):
“Medicare Part G”
“You’re a sick senior citizen and the government says there is no nursing home care available for you. So what do you do?”
“Our plan gives anyone 65 years, or older, a gun (G) and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot four Politicians. ”
“Of course, this means you’ll be sent to prison, where you will receive three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating and air conditioning and all the health care you need. ”
“Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That’s great. Need a new hip, knees, kidney, lungs or heart? They’re all covered. ”
“As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you at least as often as they do now. ”
“And who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you they can’t afford for you to go into a home. ”
“And, you can get rid of 4 useless politicians while you’re at it. ”
“Plus, because you are a prisoner, you don’t have to pay any income taxes anymore. ”
“Is this a great country or what?”
Reminds me of the call for the “zombie army”, encouraging the terminally ill to take a few politicians with them.
Not sure about the air-conditioning part. When I had the job in the jail a few weeks back, it was one of those super-hot days. New jail, only a few years old. Outer entrance was air-conditioned, as was the small courtroom and clerk’s office inside the jail, but nothing else was. And it was sweating hot. The restroom for visitors was not cooled, nor was any other room I had to go through to get where I was going. I was not in a cell, but they were on the other side of the hallway wall and I did not feel any cool air coming out when the door between them was opened.
I have been in there three times now, and all I can say is that the residents there want out. Badly.
State jails in the Great State of Texas are not air conditioned. Yet. There is a fedral lawsuit filed.
Not sure about federal jails (Big Spring).
Someone say the Stupid Half of the War Party would cave and grovel shamelessly and lick the boots of their Bolshevik commissar???

All my fault. I didn’t vote for Bishop Rummy or whoever the loser libertarian was; didn’t vote at all, in fact. Why bother?
I wonder if 2014 will change the political landscape. I am looking forward to 2016. Especially if Biden runs. Can you imagine Biden and Hillary going at it. Bill will be behind the curtain with a double barrel aimed at Biden’s back.
Thanks for the imagery. Thanks.
Ah, 2016. Our first chance to have a Canadian born President.
2014 will no doubt be quite interesting. The regime will play games with who might be planning to think about running, maybe, and the usual suspects will start breathing heavily and foaming around the lips a bit and begging the rest of us to get out and vote for the latest messiah/savior.
In 2015 this activity will greatly intensify, but meanwhile various major domestic and foreign crises will start to really dominate the nooz.
2016 will be the year that Comrade Obama will announce national security threats that mandate him staying in office for another four at least, or putting the Mooch in charge for four or eight more years. The half of the country that sucks this up will roll over and play dead for it, per usual.
The following years should be really, really interesting. All this will be the exclusive fault of the buggers who wouldn’t go out and vote and write letters and make phone calls.
How about Mooch vs Hillary in 2016? 🙂
The televised debate will be mud wrestling in thong bikinis.
You may now thank me for the mental image.
How about secession of the Red States from the USA in 2016?
http://buchanan.org/blog/red-state-america-seceding-5934
“What are the forces pulling nations apart? Ethnicity, culture, history and language — but now also economics. And separatist and secessionist movements are cropping up here in the United States.”
“While many Red State Americans are moving away from Blue State America, seeking kindred souls among whom to live, those who love where they live but not those who rule them are seeking to secede.”
“If America does not get its fiscal house in order, and another Great Recession hits or our elites dragoon us into another imperial war, we will likely hear more of such talk.”
If the Heroine of Tripoli and Benghazi runs, and the Mooch wants that job, the Mooch will crush her utterly.
I have put out a hit on SteveF for those mental images. He can run but he can’t hide. Or he can hide but he can’t run, I forget how that goes…
Some of us are a ways ahead of Patrick on the secession thang. Look up the Renaissance Party of North America.
Michele Bachmann isn’t running for re-election to the House in 2014, so perhaps we could have a three way jello wrestling contest in 2016: Mooch, Bachmann and Hillary. SteveF can be the referee and OFD can hose them all down after… 🙂
No need to spend your own money to have me assassinated, OFD. Start a kickstarter campaign to have me kick the bucket. If you publicized it well enough, you’d probably get 4000 people pledging at least $10 just in the first day, especially with good loot for the higher donation levels. ($25 will get you a color photograph of Steve’s corpse. $100 will get you a DVD of his dying moments. At the $1000 level we will have the assassin carve a short message of your choosing into Steve’s chest.) That would be a humbling experience for me, to know that that many people want me dead… Ha! The hell it would. I’d figure I must be doing something right if I’ve pissed off that many people.
