Feb 8, 1944 - The EZ Dog Journal
Wakened up early with shells dropping into area. One within 100 yds of tent we were sleeping in. Looks like we really hit a "hot-spot".
Btry came up today. Landed about 1230. They spent the night in staging area near Anzio. Wind came up and rain poured. Brigade SOP.
Don't know which was more irksome, the incoming artillery or the rain.

That would be Jim Cleburne, comfortably ensconced in his "leadership" post by House Democrats who were terrified he'd out them as racists for taking him out of leadership when they lost their majority in 2010.
Of course, by creating the sinecure position he now occupies under threat of racist charges revealed the Democrats were, in fact, racists.

I think you're reading too much into it. Frankly, I prefer the sermonizing to actual criminalization.
*Legally* I don't think drinking and driving (in and of itself) should be a crime; I don't care what your BAC is. We already have plenty of laws on the books regarding destruction of property, causing harm to others, etc.
OTOH, I think socially shaming those who do so is generally a good idea.

I didn't get caught stealing that car so it isn't a crime?!?! You want to argue that?

From this date in 1944 - at Anzio/Nettuno
Feb 8, 1944 - The EZ Dog Journal
Wakened up early with shells dropping into area. One within 100 yds
of tent we were sleeping in. Looks like we really hit a "hot-spot".
Btry came up today. Landed about 1230. They spent the night in
staging area near Anzio. Wind came up and rain poured. Brigade SOP.
Don't know which was more irksome, the incoming artillery or the rain.

Easy to see why the military didn't want anyone keeping these kinds of journals, if they fell into enemy hands they would be of tremendous value for targeting etc.

As I said, you can only vote in one. But it is odd that they are holding them on different days. The last time I voted in a primary here the poll workers asked me which ballot I wanted, Dem or Rep before I went into the booth with the machine. So they were holding both on the same day.

State hunting laws apply. Here and in GA if you take out the plug don't get caught hunting anything. But it is not illegal per se to take the plug out. A lot of people do take the plug out for home defense.

I can support that. Lady Gaga sounded like she had done a run-through and had gotten a nice performance within her capacity. It sounded great, and dare I say it, rehearsed. But yes, Whitney is still the gold standard. The Armed Forces chorus sounded great, and the song had a wonderful arrangement.

We used to have a jai alai facility here in Newport. We'd go every now and then on rainy days, it was a great way to spend an afternoon drinking beer and wagering on what was reputed to be the most corrupt sport in America.
We would just bet uniform colors since we had no idea what was going on anyway. The game never really caught on so they turned the facility into a slots gaming facility cause it appears there is no end to the number of people who will sit in front on some noisy machine and pour in quarters.

If there is a draft (and I agree that it is unlikely) women should be treated the same as men.

For years, I've ranted that feminists aren't serious about "equality" in the military until they advocate for universal female registration for the draft. You'll note that it's the MILITARY that put forth the proposal.
The feminist usual suspects are suspiciously silent on the matter. And of course, that's because they want the benefits of membership in the combat arms branches, but they aren't willing to assume the associated sacrifices and responsibilities.

Actually, there was a HUGE feminist push to get women into the trades in the 1980s. They saw all those high paying UNION jobs and wanted women in those slots. It's part of the genesis of where the SBA set asides for women/minority owned businesses. It was largely unsuccessful because a great deal of it is hot dirty work requiring great physical strength and stamina. Women did make inroads into finish carpentry and painting. It did cause a lot of men to put their businesses in their wive's names so they could bid on set aside projects.

Milady Webworker came out of a Chicago Democrat family and environment in the 1960s. The kind of folk who, these days, just know that Hillary is the right candidate. She said she started studying feminism in college, and the more she read, the less sense the feminists made. Self-deprogrammed.
Always amusing to me to hear her, nowadays, exclaiming about the latest stupid feminist thing, knowing what her sisters might think if they heard her. Like the first time I heard her describe herself as "conservative." Whoa!
'Way back when, I, too, thought the modern feminist movemen was important. Seeking equal treatment in the workplace, getting rid of barriers to opportunity, all seemed like an extension of the old enfranchisement battle. I viewed it as just one more facet for human rights.
It wasn't the superficial issues, like the language nazis, - the power-women I respected were, like, the head of some corporation who said she didn't give a flip about being called "chairman" instead of "chairwoman" because she knew she was the boss! Confidence, not victimhood.
I believe that kind of "feminism" is still important, but "feminism" as a brand is spoiled, and, as with race relations, much of the battle against prejudice has long since been won, in America at least, and what's left is screaming harpies making up new insane causes, like the rabid environmentalists crying about global warming long after the water's clean.
(Don't know if I'm saying this well. Fortunately, I'm done.)

Given all the BLM and Millenial PCness of yesterday's game, it's probably for the best that Newton didn't win. I knew he was not a very gracious winner, but I didn't realize what a sore loser he was. Maybe this loss will help him develop some character.
He's really improved his game on the field (yesterday's performance notwithstanding), but he has a lot of growing up to do.

That includes the responsibility to go to war. At the pointy end of the spear.
When younger, I thought differently ... and believed in chivalry and such. "Modern" society has cured me of such foolish notions.

Israel uses women in the military for logistical reasons. And yes, they go on combat patrols, but carefully controlled ones.
I doubt very much whether in a real war Israeli women will see combat.
There is nothing wrong with women driving trucks and cooking meals and working in staff positions. Hell, most men in any military never see combat. And there is nothing wrong with that!

Husband called me a hater for not liking Gaga. I want people to just sing the song, not show me their vocal range.
I thought she did a good job.
Coldplay on the other hand should be beaten with Lemmy's old bass.

Coldplay's sound man should have been double-tapped for the lameness of the band's volume. Beyonce and Bruno Mars were intelligible and it was good. (Dunno why Coldplay was there at all, but..demographics, yadda yadda.) I can groove out to "Uptown Funk" any time.

The IDF does not put women in combat. They will serve as combat medics and defend towns with lethal force. An American-Israeli teen out shown herself by killing 4 terrorists trying to infiltrate a settlement in the middle of the night. She advanced on them and kept shooting.

There's a guy on HurryUpHarry who immigrated from the UK to Israel. He is a big lefty twat. But when called to arms, he is with his buddies in the thick of it. No more lefty b.s. It's kill or be killed. His loyalty is entirely with Israel. It seems that Israel has too many fifth columnists.

1. Rape and sexual assault help. At the time of Roe v Wade, women were still put on trial by the defense if they dared try to prosecute a rape. Women were essentially given the same advice as the gals in Cologne are now getting--if you get raped, it must've been because you were in the wrong place, wrong time, and wearing the wrong clothes.
2. Help with deadbeat Dads for child support. Unfortunately, this has swung too much the other way and now some Dads need protection from their exes.
3. Help with domestic violence. This is still a huge issue.
4. Equal pay for equal work. This gradually equalized, but, at the time of Roe v Wade, it impacted far more women than the need for an abortion.

The 2016 Olympics will not take place.
But in addition, I note that CDC and others have blamed not just Zika but a couple of other fast-moving diseases on all the people who travel internationally for sporting events. I'd never have guessed that such a large proportion of world travel was athletes and fans, jetting about. There's a challenge in this claim, and there has to be an element of Revenge of The Nerds.
Would a government agency be so bold as to insinuate that Semester Abroad travel, or "Hiking in Europe" or "Mission Trips to The Third World" were the cause of an epidemic? With ebola, they stuck their neck out to quash the notion.
Yes, I kind of, sort of, think that the role of "Sport" in the current world is inflated. I have bad memories of school, big deal. But people like what they like, and it's spooky action to bevel the statistics like that. Anti-Sport "movement."

Yeah, open borders has *nothing* to do with it, and that they weren't checking blood donations for it (because it was just discovered to be transmitted by blood, saliva).
You can't open your southern border, and intentionally advertise in cetral and south America countries that you will accept unaccompanied minors, and not expect there to be some bugs brought in with them -- TB, whooping cough, mumps, EV-68, and now potentially Zika -- especially when you then force public schools to admit them without vaccination records (because: none). It's like our leaders are intentionally un-learning what our ancestors knew.

The Mediterranean was closed for generations following the great plagues. Trade and diplomacy collapsed. And every time trade routes re-opened, new plagues sprang up. Well into the 20th century, Oman and some other points were "quarantine ports," where all ships had to lay at anchor for a prescribed period to show that no one on board was carrying the disease du jour. I can think of a couple of times I might have re-instituted that (and a time or two when the airport looked like someone had...)
The future may not be what we expected. "Modern medicine"...isn't.
When I think of the CDC being in charge of all this, I sleep better at night. At home, with my passport in the safe. And I go out once a week.
