Military and US Army Army, Military 20:10
The Army is adopting a new uniform for Afghanistan. It is designed to blend into the background better than the current uniform.
MultiCam Camouflage Pattern Selected for U.S. Army Uniform and Equipment
Following four months of evaluations of alternative camouflage pattern colors, the U.S. Army selected the MultiCam pattern for the uniforms provided for all soldiers deploying to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, starting the summer of 2010.

Stole this from Southern Sass…
Four Cats
Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were.
The first man was an Engineer,
the second man was an Accountant,
the third man was a Chemist, and
the fourth man was a Government Employee.
To show off, the Engineer called his cat,
‘T-square, do your stuff.’
T-square pranced over to the desk,
took out some paper and pen and promptly
drew a circle, a square, and a triangle.
Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.
But the Accountant said his cat could do better.
He called his cat and said,
‘Spreadsheet, do your stuff.’
Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies.
He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies.
Everyone agreed that was pretty good!
But the Chemist said his cat could do better.
He called his cat and said,
‘Measure, do your stuff.’
Measure got up, walked to the fridge,
took out a quart of milk,
got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard
and poured exactly 8 ounces
without spilling a drop into the glass.
Everyone agreed that was pretty good.
Then the three men turned to the
Government Employee and said,
‘What can your cat do?’
The Government Employee called his cat and said,
‘Coffee Break, do your stuff..’
Coffee Break jumped to his feet……..
ate the cookies…… ..
drank the milk……..
pottied on the paper…….
screwed the other three cats…….
claimed he injured his back while doing so…….
filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions…….
put in for Workers’ Compensation. ………. …..and
went home for the rest of the day on sick leave.
AND THAT, MY FRIEND,
IS WHY HEALTHCARE SHOULD NOT BE RUN BY
THE GOVERNMENT!!

Guns and Second Amendment Guns, Second Amendment 18:49
This is good news!
This will have effect in the Chicago case for incorporation at SCOTUS.
We are pleased with the Washington State Supreme Court’s decision in State v. Sieyes yesterday, which stated that the Second Amendment applies to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause.

Washington State Supreme Court on incorporation
Posted by David Hardy
State v. Sieyes (pdf), handed down today. Defendant was charged with possession of a handgun by a minor. The court, in an extremely thoughtful ruling (citing Joyce Malcolm, Eugene Volokh, William van Alstyne and others) rules that the 14th Amendment due process clause incorporates the right to arms and makes it binding on the States…

Another gun control failure…
Gun control, the failed experiment
By Howard Nemerov
Perhaps it is symbolic that Amy Bishop, an associate Biology professor at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, is the latest data point in a long history showing that most multiple murders occur in “gun-free zones.”
Bishop was in a department meeting discussing her proposed tenure–a lifetime job guarantee–when apparently she sensed that things weren’t going her way. She drew a gun and began shooting, killing the Biology Department chair and two other faculty members.

Axis of Idiots and Government and Illegal Immigration and Politics Axis of Idiots, Illegal Aliens, Politics, Stupid People 17:09
At least AZ is heading in the right direction. Problem is, the illegal aliens will just migrate west to Kalifornia. This lousy state is rife with sanctuary cities and they should all have their federal funding revoked for doing so.
Ariz. Sen. Passes Bill Outlawing Sanctuary Cities
Fed up lawmakers in a Mexican border state plagued with huge numbers of illegal immigrants are increasingly taking matters into their own hands by passing laws to control the crisis long neglected by the federal government.
Weeks after an Arizona State House panel approved a pair of measures intended to curb illegal immigration, the Senate has passed a law prohibiting sanctuary cities in the state. The measure allows illegal aliens to be charged with trespassing, makes it unlawful for anyone—documented or undocumented—seeking work to enter a vehicle stopped on the street and penalizes drivers who impede traffic in an attempt to hire a day laborer.
The bill, which moves to the House for the crucial approval that could make it law, will also prohibit all state and local governments from adopting policies that restrict the enforcement of federal immigration measures. In fact, it requires state and local governments to comply with and assist in the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.
