thirty something rebelling against the tug of popular sentiment, yeah, I borrowed that from Rush. Once a rebel always a rebel I guess; however, being a conservative is more rebelious now than getting a tramp stamp or a tatoo. Yes, I said it, I am cool, man.

seriously, is anyone surprised. Obama’s arrogance is justified he got exactly what he wanted from his Cairo speech.

news story on “the (Chrysler dealerships) closures” as necessary without any mention of SPECIFIC dealerships that were closed despite profits, many for 30+ straight years.

Fox is lazy and inadequate and cowardly, esp with their “fair and balanced” when what we need is balance to be fair.

Which is why it has always been irrelevant to focus on him as vital. The thinking of the mullahs has been like his since 1979 and continues, re the Jews. The election is a sham with the battle on economics within the 40 yard lines.

I’m new there and still just playing around. But when someone like Karl Rove is following me and 55,000 of his closest friends, how does twitter stay useful?

The Blackberry went the day I retired. The only people with my cell number are my family and my clients. My email has God’s own filters on it. This box has an on-off switch and RedState and a couple of gun and boat sites are the only places I ever go on the ‘net. And when the World still bothers me, all I have to do is leave the cell phone home and take off on the boat; a half hour from my slip and my boat and the ocassional navaid are the only things you can see that have visibly been touched by man’s hands.

First and foremost, this is what happens when you cut spending on defense systems that private companies have invested large sums of IR&D funds into. These private defense contractors will try to sell them to other countries. Mind you there are legal hurdles that can be jumped to do this with say the F22 or the Boeing C17s but other technologies will be restricted for export by the ITAR and other export control laws.

That said, defense contractors and military hardware and technology scientists and engineers need to feed their families too. We can not use any knowledge we have gained in our career working for the DoD, but that can not stop us from coming up with new technologies and science that is unrelated. I fear the defense cuts will cause some of our finest scientists and engineers to seek employment to leave defense and not return or move to other allied nations that may see a need for advancing their military technology.

From my perspective I hope that I continue to work in the defense field, if I lose my job I do not know what my knowlege and experience will be good for. That said, it is quite annoying to see my budget cut significantly while saving a stupid mouse in San Fransico with a much bigger budget than I have ever seen.

Both these stories are of great interest for us. One is that a judge has allowed the lawsuit to move forward to sue a former Bush adminstration lawyer for drafting legal opinions about “torture”. Well, here’s to all of you lawyers working in JAG doing legal reviews or under the administration supervision, be careful what your opinion says because now you can be held liable. That’s right when the next administration comes into power you are on the firing line. And the judgement was made in San Fransico CA, who would have guessed.

“The inability to step in and unwind large and complex institutions before they fail and become the thread that unravels the fabric of the system”

“Consumers and lenders whose unwitting or reckless credit and borrowing decisions placed families under staggering debts and contributed to the instability of the financial system”

Yeah Yeah I know, it’s mucho late. But in my own self interest I wanted to pimp my twitter feed that’s totally unrelated and nobody follows.

A target on my back? Tough on people like me? You don’t even know me. Slapnutz is a nickname I got in the Marine Corps from my friends when I was in Iraq, and it’s a play on my last name. I didn’t think it was offensive, nor did I think it would induce a round of sarcasm. And no, I don’t think I should reconsider it. I read Redstate regularly, but never really posted before. I used the open thread as an opportunity to show some of you guys something else that I’m interested in. Sort of a break from politics, that I find fascinating. Thanks for making a newb feel welcome. You guys are awesome.
