THIS is funny.

Sadly though, I can see Barry doing a rant like this.

“When Jim Bowie’s mother was informed of his death, she very calmly announced: “I’ll wager no wounds were found in his back.”

Indeed.

189 defenders of the Alamo died this day 177 years ago. They took a full third of the attacking force with them”

Not a bad way, if you ask me. I’d rather go peacefully in my sleep, but if that isn’t in the cards, then I’d rather go following their example. 

Ferryman’s fee and all that.

Some are great. Some have common sense.

Then there are the rest.

Like this one.

Sadly, the unions and the school board will likely keep this person on the school staff.

of no sleep ain’t bad.

The next 9 start to suck.

Then your brain goes dead.

After that it gets interesting. 

The (my) weird schedule nearly made me miss the remembering the men (and women) of the Alamo.

3/6/1836.
The Alamo fell.
 All of the defenders were killed.

They delayed Santa Anna long enough to let the  Sam Houston and the other defenders get their shit together at San Jacinto.

All of the defenders at the Alamo were killed. Not a good way to go. But if it has to happen to me, I hope I go out as bravely as they. And for as good a cause.

Robert has a good story line on his blog. You should read it.

I have been to the Alamo, once. It is a fairly small place, and yet it has a spirit….a sacredness that reflects the residue of the courage and determination the defenders showed in their fight. It is a place that you will never forget visiting.

Exactly why.

Just wait until these folks are in charge of your health care.

Seems that ALL of their data is for sale.

And without their (or their parent’s) consent.

Be aware. 

That a significant portion (more than 10%) of the monies needed to fix the “sequester” could be found if we would just stop wasting our money on “Security Theater”

Let us disband the TSA.

That saves something like 11 billion. At mo loss to anyone. No change in safety, and an increased throughput in the airports. Likely the productivity increase will add a LOT to our economy.

Add in the extra vehicular  purchases by DHS, and we are starting to talk real money.

No Free Ice Cream today.

Just not feeling it.

Go read the folks to the left, they are smarter and better writers anyway.

That is all.

Seems that the DHS is arming up their transport.  Big time upgrade to their toybox.

This will go along with their 1.6 billion cartridge purchase.

This is serious. folks. These aren’t easy to disable or deal with. Resistant to most small arms fire.

DHS *MUST* be planning on using their new toys on something….or someone.

You and me? Violent retirees demanding their Social Security checks?  Ethnic urban minorities who will become angry when their EBT cards fail to work? Angry government workers who riot when their retirement is redone?

WHO? Who are they planning on using these against?

ETA: Pissed found this first.

ETA2:
I figure that they will be able to be blinded by paint,  mired in mud , snared with cables. After which they are vulnerable to fire.

Just food for thought.

If and when.
