I did not know that you had to salute during the minute of silence... Everyone around me in uniform just bowed their heads.

If there is a bailout of the Big Three it should include clauses for union contract renegotiation, not that I am hopeful that the Democrats will demand it.  I saw somewhere that the average autoworker costs GM about $150K per year when you add up the wages and benefits.  The same article said...

Last I saw they were both yellow, with 6-8% under strength... There are more sigs positions out there though

Good!! If you give them enough rope....  China needs to be forced to spend some of that surplus money they keep accumulating.  Better to spend it on bailing out their failing economy than military modernization

Vern, that in my neck of the woods would be considered a brag-worthy hiring time....

Gov Bobby Jindal is awesome.  He could even outplay Obama in the intellectual debate game.  McCain would have done much better with him than with Palin.  But i doubt he would appease the far right of the GOP like she did.

On a lighter note, a factor that contributed to McCain losing.  We discussed some of these here before but I think a visual record shows it best.  Sarah Palin's greatest hits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrzXLYA_e6E&feature=related And now Joe Biden's greatest hits, I have no idea how he...

Congratulations to President-Elect Obama.  I hope the GOP learns a lesson from this and goes back to the "big tent" approach.  McCain could have won with a different campaign and a different running mate.  I would have supported a McCain-Lieberman ticket.  Running to the religious right and...

Sorry... VOT not VOR, it used to be VOR I think...

You can apply for a Voluntary Occupational Reassignment (VOR).  I have seen many ROTP types apply and get it... not too sure about DEOs.  Getting out and getting back in would make your life unnecessarily complicated IMO.

You can fail a career course and get transfered to a different trade or released from the military as a result.

Hopefully Syria learns a lesson from this: Secure your borders with Iraq and keep terrorists out and this won't happen again.  This harbouring terrorists crap used to work when they had their big brothers the Soviets backing them, but not anymore.  Get used to it.

Is Mason Dixon not a Republic leaning outfit?  I wonder what a PPP (Democratic) poll would look like, probably showing Obama having double digit leads across the board.  My understanding is that Mason Dixon uses tunrout projections very similar to 2004, which is a false assumption in my...

One word of caution.  Careful about the "venting"  since, more likely than not, some of your staff will be on here.

They can cause lots of problems before that natural inertia catches up with them.  I see them pursuing a foreign policy of deliberately causing instability in the Middle East and South America too keep commodity prices up for the foreseeable future.

All this from four words in a speech delivered months ago?  Maybe he meant strengthening the police forces in order to deal with the threat of terrorism: Local, State, Various federal agencies.  This is the same as Democrats repeating the "100 years in Iraq quote"  that was taken completely out...

I do agree with you on that.  Obama would be the most ideologically liberal POTUS ever.  Jimmy Carter maybe, Hugo Chavez no way

I do not really by that argument.  Much of the stuff on the internet falls squarely into the tin foil hat category.  Obama's birth certificate, supposed financial support of his distaint cousin Raila Odinga in Kenya, the purported Michelle Obama tapes.  People that buy this stuff are the real...

Actually, the internals of most polls show cross over support of anywhere from 10-20 percent for both candidates...  Hence it is not news...  Here is one http://www.gallup.com/poll/108049/Candidate-Support-Political-Party-Ideology.aspx  My point in bringing that is is that Obama cannot be as...

While on Wikipeida I typed in Voter Suppression.... It is a very interesting read.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_suppression And this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caging_list
