Well departure day has finally arrived and so I am here at
work just trying to get any loose ends tied up that need to be taken care
of. I will then go home pack the few
last minute things and then catch the shuttle to the airport.
Whatever bug I had yesterday is gone now so that is a good
feeling. I actually woke up early this
morning and was downstairs about 20 minutes early. Laila and I got our prayers done early and I
left right on time.
The ride in was interesting.
When I got to the I 805 this car beside me was changing lanes all over
the place. I hung back a bit to give him
room and he weaved into my lane. The guy
didn’t change lanes he weaved into it.
He took the same exit that I took and when we got to the stop light,
after watching him weave all over the exit ramp, I saw why he was weaving.
This guy was reading a newspaper while driving. I could not believe it but I saw him clear as
day when I was at the light. I wonder
what kind of person would endanger the lives of so many people by being so
irresponsible. It is unbelievable or as
Laila would say shocking.
Well the latest insult to humanity has been released up near
the San Francisco Bay Area. They are
holding some kind of gay festival, I think it was called the Folsom Summer Fest
or something like that. They produced an
advertisement depicting the Last Supper, where Jesus and the Apostles are all
decked out in gay clothing and are half naked.
The body and blood of Christ were replaced with sex toys.
I guy this thing is being sponsored by the Miller Brewing
Company and well as the tax payers of San
Francisco. It
has people nationwide outraged since it was featured on Fox News last night and
on a few of the talk radio shows. This
morning Rick Roberts offered free advertising on his show for any business that
either stops selling Miller products or raises the price to where people will
not buy Miller products.
I guess Miller has a history of sponsoring unpopular causes
as last year they sponsored a rally in support of illegal immigration in Chicago. I hope the boycott of the Miller products
works, as it is about time corporate America gets the message that you
can’t tick of mainstream Americans for a minority of whacko’s and still
survive.
I don’t mind people being gay as long as they don’t push it
on me or my family. It is a preference
like anything else. I am tired of the
“in your face” stuff like the Gay Pride Parade and the gay nights at the ball
park. I am tired that they demand more
rights than others and I am sick and tired of continually hearing more and more
politicians caving to their agenda.
The majority of Californians have spoken at the polls where
62% of San Diegans alone voted that marriage is defined as one man and one
woman. Yet the City Council and the
Mayor of San Diego has decided that the voters don’t count and joined a growing
list of Cities that have said screw the voters, we’ll just do what we
want. It is time to vote these idiots
out of office. People need to wake up
and see what these folks are doing.
Well I suppose that I had better get this closed, saved and
ready for posting. I have a few things
to do before I head out today.
I’ll write my usual airport post as I am on the trip and
give you all the highlights and low lights.
The next post will be from Manila
I hope.

Well here I am, one day away from leaving and guess what
happened? I got sick. I don’t know if it is something I ate or
what, but I was sick as a dog last night and as a result I got up a few minutes
late this morning.
I didn’t let Laila know this morning because I didn’t want
to get her worried. I took some antacid
tablets, skipped the morning coffee and came in to work. I am not at 100 percent but I will be fine. I think it is just something I ate.
I have so much to get done today and none of it is work
related. I have to get some last minute
items from the store that I forgot. I
still haven’t written the checks for the bills for the first. I did reserve my airport ride and got that
all take care of. So today I have to
stop by Best Buy and Ralph’s on the way home today. Time has run out so I have to do everything
today. At least I have most of the stuff
ready to get packed. It is just the
running around part I have to get done.
Today we have a new class starting up. My class just did a call in muster because we
didn’t have enough classroom space and they were completely done with
everything, so we let them stay home. It
looks like we might have to start a night shift for a while because we have
another class starting Monday.
Well I guess I will keep this brief. I am still feeling a bit uneasy with my
stomach so I am going to go drink some water and see if that helps.

This morning sure has not had a great start. I went to bed fairly early for a Sunday night
and so I got out of bed a little earlier than normal this morning. Laila and I got our morning prayers in and I
got reinforcements posted in the game before heading off to work. There was more traffic than usual all the way
in and I also got stuck behind a school bus on the way from the freeway to the
place where I turn to go to the gate so that was a bit of a pain.
Then when I got close to the place to turn they had the road
blocked off for construction so I had to take a few side streets and finally
got to the back gate which was also all backed up. So again even though I left early I managed
to get to work on time but about five minutes later than I am used to.
So now I run up to get ready to give the post test and get
the class to fill out the end of course critiques. I found out we didn’t have enough answer
sheets and I would have to make copies of the end of course stuff. So I gathered everything up and off I went to
the copier downstairs hoping that it was not in use.
I got there and no one was there so I went ahead and got
everything in the proper order, programmed the copier and pressed the start
button. It said the fuser was not fully
seated and to pull it out and put it back in.
I did that several times and still it wouldn’t work so I dragged
everything upstairs and had to make the copies on our three in one
copier/printer/scanner. That took
forever and the first time I tried to make a back to back copy I messed it up
and had to redo some.
I got that all done and went over and gave everything to the
class to fill out and found that I had missed a page so I had to go back to the
printer again. Anyway, finally I have
that all done, the class is gone and I am keeping an eye on the junior class
for a bit while their instructor is doing his end of the month reports.
I still have a bunch of stuff to do tonight. I have to get the bills ready for my daughter
to mail while I am gone and have to run a few more errands. Also I will be leaving before my daughter
gets out of school and work so I need to make arrangements to get to the
airport.
So up until the time I get going on the trip I will be
pretty busy. But I am excited about
getting back and spending some time with Laila and we both could use some
rest.
I guess I will get this saved now and get back to work.

News and a bad start to the day
Wow what a news day yesterday and what a terrible start to
the day. I guess I will start with some
comments about some of the news stories from yesterday and then roll into the
interesting time I had getting to work this morning.
The first news item is of course the O J Simpson thing. I guess he was able to make bail and flew
back to Florida
and it was interesting that he flew coach.
I guess he can’t afford to fly first class any more, and I wonder if he
will have enough money to hire a dream team to get himself out of his latest
legal troubles.
Next was the clown that got the taser gun used on him at the
John Kerry speech. A lot of folks are
saying the campus please used excessive force.
I think since he was a big guy and he was fighting back kicking and
swinging that they were justified. On my
way home Michael Savage had another take, but I still believe they were
justified, but I do respect Savage’s opinion that it should be
investigated. I think it was just a
stunt for the kid to get a video clip for more traffic on his website myself.
I guess the president of Iran
(I will not even attempt to try and spell his name) wants to lay a wreath at
the site of the World
Trade Center. I guess it must be to mourn the loss of the
terrorist hijackers. I don’t know why we
are even letting this guy into the country.
We should just arrest him for crimes against humanity a soon as his
plane lands. Why are we going to allow
this guy go before the General Assembly of the United Nations and trash the
United States and all it stands for?
Especially since the United Nations is located in New York City. It will just give him bragging rights for his
terrorist buddies, that he came here and used our freedoms to trash us.
I can just imagine if this guy tried this crap in Russia, China,
or even Mexico,
where he trashed their government in a world wide forum. He would not leave alive or would never
leave. I am glad that the authorities in
New York
denied permission for him to go there though.
Then last night just before I went to bed while watching the
local news to find out about the weather I see the Mayor of San Diego crying
like a baby as he was announcing that he will support gay marriage and not veto
the city councils passage of a bill for same sex marriage. This guy needs to resign now. I did not elect this guy to go against the
voters and side with special interest groups.
Yeah they are a lot of gay people in San Diego but they are clearly a
minority.
A few weeks ago the city had a law suit started by straight
firefighters who were forced to attend the gay pride parade. Now San
Diego is pushing through this gay marriage thing. Our Fire Chief and District Attorney are
openly gay. The Mayor told everyone his
daughter is gay last night. He also
mentioned many people in his cabinet are.
Has the city government of San Diego been hijacked?
I am not against gay people having the same benefits as
married people. I am against the term
marriage and would accept civil union. That doesn’t seem good enough for these
people who keep trying to force acceptance of their lifestyle down everyone’s
throat. I wonder if it is an insecurity
thing with these people or what? Just
saying they are married is not going to mean automatic acceptance of their
lifestyle.
Anyway this morning listening t talk radio people in San Diego are calling for the
immediate resignation of the Mayor. San Diego is not nearly as left wing as San
Francisco and while some crazy program or act by Gavin Newsome will
gather praise from the masses in the Peoples Republic of San Fransicko, that
stuff will not fly here in San Diego.
A few of the callers think that the gay and lesbian groups
have some dirt on him and may be forcing this issue. I guess that could be true and maybe it is
not. Maybe he did have a change in heart
but as the leader of a city he is responsible for enforcing the will of the
people, not force his own views down our throats.
This is just a few of the latest Jerry Sanders
failures. He denies San Diego is a sanctuary city while anyone
with any common sense knows it is. The
water and sewage disaster is still ongoing.
The city is still having a serious financial crisis and now this. It is time for him to go. I hope to hear he resigned while I am on my
way home. If he doesn’t resign I will
sign on with any recall group to recall him and get him out of city
government.
Well enough on the news of yesterday. This morning when I woke up it was raining.
It was just a light drizzle and it should pick up over the next couple of days
as a major storm rolls through, but just a little drizzle is enough to ruin
driving here. In between watching the
Mayor balling his eyes out on TV and the cooking tips of the day they showed a
major accident on the 805 freeway between Plaza and 47th street. It involved a big rig that had jackknifed and
flipped over blocking three lanes on the southbound side.
Even though it was on the southbound side the northbound
side was backed up for several miles as all the people going north were slowing
down to get a good look. Well since I
get on the freeway at Plaza to go to work and get off at 43rd street I left early and
skipped the freeway all together. It
took a little longer to go that route, but I would still be sitting on the
freeway if I didn’t use the surface streets.
So then I got to work and the CPO selectees were selling
breakfast burritos on the quarterdeck so I bought one. When I bought they asked us if we had a
microwave oven which we do and they sold me one that was cold, so I could pop
it in the microwave as soon as I got upstairs.
When I got upstairs and all and ran over to pop it in the microwave oven
it was gone. Seems ET1 lent our
microwave to the CPO selectees to use on the quarterdeck. So I guess I will have it for lunch.
Well I guess it is that time to get this wrapped up and
saved for posting later.

Well only a week to go and I will be off to Laila’s for a
few weeks. I am looking forward to the
break and getting some rest. Not that I
don’t like my job or anything, quite the opposite, I love my job. I just need the rest after taking a class
though, and especially lately where our shortage of manpower has kept me really
busy.
Yesterday I could have sworn that Rick Roberts said
something about not dwelling on the O J Simpson arrest and all, but this
morning his show was about, yup you guessed it, O J Simpson. So I switched over to the Laura Ingraham show
where she was talking about Iran.
I also had to turn off the Fox News Channel after the
majority of their programming was highlighting the O J case. If the press would ignore this clown and the
justice system would lock this menace to society up for good the world would be
a nicer and safer place.
Instead the media is going to turn this into a three ring
circus like the last trial was and somehow he will get off again.
I also found the other story pumped up by the news quite
funny. John Kerry was giving a speech at
some University, in I think it was Florida,
when one of the students got out of hand.
The guy was wrestling with police and swearing. Finally the college police used a taser on
him and carted him off. What was funny
was that this was a left wing wacko who I guess does this stuff all the time to
get attention as one of the news agencies checked out his website. He was probably even a Kerry supporter which
makes it that much funnier.
San Diego
has made another of the countries lists, this time we are in sixth place for
traffic congestion, another list that I would not like to be on. They say the average San Diegan spends 57
hours a year stuck in traffic on the freeways.
I don’t think it would be so bad if they would take the 95 percent of
the transit money that they spend on the trolley and bus system and use it to
widen the highways. I enjoy seeing the
empty busses paid for with my tax dollars running around all the time. In fact the transit system is losing so much
money on the busses and trolley system that they are raising the rates. That will really help, out the poor and
elderly folks that seem to be the only ones that ever ride it.
Well I guess that is
about it. I need to run over and put
some gas in the car. I like doing it
during lunch because there are no lines.
Well I am back from the gas station and decided to write a
little more. Today I saw maybe one of
the dumbest people I have ever seen. I
was at the gas station and they have two pay windows. Normally only one of them is open at a
time. Well the lady who was driving a
mini van was at the front of the next line over had finished pumping her gas
and went to the window to pay. From
where I was pumping mine I could not see her but the guy behind me did and
called over to her. I guess she was
standing in line at the closed window. I
don’t know how they let people that dumb get a license.
When I got back to work I noticed a sign on the door that
they have raised the security readiness level.
I wondered what was up and after asking around found out that they will
be doing drills and all. They may even
close the base over the next couple of days so that would be a free day off.
I heard on the radio that the judge set O J Simpson’s bail
at $125,000 and with that low amount I wonder why they even bothered requiring
bail. They should have just let him out,
it is not like he is going to be able to go anywhere.

I am a little bit ticked off right now and so the easiest
way to get rid of anger is to of course blog about it. For the past several weeks one of the
federations has been hitting our lower members and the lower members of the
allied federations. As one of the higher
level empires in our federation I have been hitting them back when the occasion
arises.
Well over the weekend some of the leaders and LT’s of the
different allied feds got together and we decided to do something about
it. Last night was the time set up for
us to attack and after making sure we had enough OP posters and all we all put
a couple people out to attack this fed.
All was well until one of our guys started putting the
people we were trying to attack in and refusing to hit others. He then went on a tear DPing all kinds of
other friends and trashed our entire reset time for the evening.
I wound up not being able to go out until after 10 PM and as a result had to leave my
empire unattended and out so I could go to bed.
I have to get to bed no later than 11:30 or there is no way I will get up on time for work
and prayers with Laila.
So now friend or no friend I am considering kicking this
player out of the federation since his loyalties are elsewhere in the game and
he could care less about team mates. I
will talk to Joe and Sam about it today when I get home, but I have had enough
of this kind of crap. If you join a fed
your loyalties lie with the fed and not people that are attacking your fed
mates.
So I guess that is enough on that and on to something
completely different. OK so O. J.
Simpson is in jail again for armed robbery and now it is all you see on the
news. Please get that wife killing jerk
off my TV set, because I don’t want to see it.
By covering him 24/7 you are only feeding his ego. Just pull all the reporters and get rid of
all the cameras because no one cares about this double murdering piece of
crap. Just let him rot in jail and leave
him be. Not being in the press all the
time would be punishment worse than death for this ego maniac.
So everyone is all shocked that the Emmy Awards turned
political and that Ray Romano and Sally Fields got beeped out. Well I never watched Ray Romano and now I
never will and Sally Fields has made my do not watch list with Ed Harris, Susan
Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Richard Gere, Danny Glover and a few others. I don’t need these people and when I see them
on my TV my stomach turns so why watch them.
They do not appreciate the country that gave them the
opportunity to gain their wealth and popularity so I say to hell with
them. Let them go live in France
or some other socialist country.
Oh and I guess Hillary care is back on the table. Let’s see, so Joe Blow who doesn’t have a job
or has made that career choice to work at McDonalds for his career can’t afford
health care. I on the other hand who
have been working all my adult life will now have to pay higher taxes because
Joe Blow was to lazy or too stupid to advance himself into a job that provides
him the means for getting health care. And
I am sure Hillary’s plan will of course provide health care for all our illegal
visitors.
Socialized health care does not work, ask anyone from Canada or England. When it takes six months of waiting to get to
see a specialist because the government has now taken it over then lets see how
happy you are with Hillary care.
Well I guess that is all for now. I have gotten myself calmed down and will now
go watch the fun in the lab.

I don’t know what is causing it but I have one hell of a
pain in my back today. It didn’t affect
my ability to go to work or anything but I have been uncomfortable all
day. I managed to finish up all the
classroom work for the current class and I have all the practice
troubleshooting problems installed so I can now take it easy for the rest of
the day and just sit and work on power points.
Yesterday I made a mistake and watched the Chargers get
slaughtered by the New England Patriots.
I live in one of those bandwagon cities where if all is going great the
fans flock to the stadium and support the team.
This morning one of the news stations had a poll asking if the Chargers
could recover from the defeat and about 70% answered no. So I guess the bandwagon has stopped for this
season and it is still early.
At least they got their butts handed to them and didn’t blow
the win like the Oakland Raiders did. I
was in the chat with the fed mates while we were all watching and commenting on
the various games we were watching. I
was shocked when the Raiders tied the score with the Broncos and made a few
comments. They were like when do you
think they will blow it. When Janokowski
mad the first kick I was shocked, but then when he missed the second one I was
not surprised. After that I knew Denver was going to win.
It was a little depressing to be in the chat while the
Chargers were getting killed. I was
catching flack from many fed members that know I live in San Diego, but it was all in fun. When 8
PM rolled around and I was sure they were not going to make a come
back I switched over to the Emmy Awards to watch the Hollywood Idiots pat
themselves on the back.
I added a new Idiot to my do not watch list I figured some know nothing script reader
would go totally ballistic at the awards show and start some Anti-Bush stuff or
bash the war effort, but it surprised me when the Idiot turned out to be Sally
Fields. She even got beeped out for
profanity.
I wonder why during World War II Hollywood actors made films
supporting the war effort or enlisted in the service, but the people there now
bash the war effort and the presidency.
I guess it is a sign of the times.
Here we are the most powerful nation on the planet, and the land of
freedom that has been gained through that power.
I wonder what some of the people that were around in World
War II think of today’s society. I am
sure they are as shocked as I am. After Pearl Harbor everyone supported the war effort. The willing accepted rationing of goods to
support the war. They purchased war
bonds to fund it. There was no shortage
of man power to support the war effort because almost every able bodied person
joined the military.
More people got killed on 9/11 than were killed at Pearl Harbor. I
don’t understand the lack of patriotism.
If people would have come out during World War II and pulled some of the
protesting crap they are pulling now, they would be tarred and feathered. I don’t understand how people can continue to
ignore the problem posed with Radical Islam and the danger we are all in.
Back then they knew the dangers posed by Japan and Germany. We went to war to keep that stuff from
happening in the United
States.
We purposely kept the war off our shores to protect those at home. People knew the importance of it, unlike now.
It is inevitable that we will be hit again. It will probably be bigger than the 9/11
attacks and it will devastate many areas of the country.
The new appeasement movement which I think came from the
druggies of the sixties has basically taken root in our schools, news media,
and entertainment venues. I think
everyone has this attitude that since we live in a big country that their town
would be spared. Ah, that stuff happened
in New York and Washington.
They won’t hit me in San
Francisco. When
a big attack comes that hits several cities at once and devastates the economy,
travel, and safety, it will be too late to wake up and say “How did this
happen?” The next attack that they are
already bragging about will be much bigger and all the talking head experts I
have seen on TV are in agreement in that regard.
So while we continue to allow illegal immigration to run
wild, and while the media, schools and entertainment industries keep pushing
their left wing peace, love, dope way of life, I will pray that when the time
comes my neighborhood will not be a target and that I have enough provisions to
keep me and my family safe.
On another note over the weekend a huge fire broke out up
near Julian and many people were forced to evacuate for a while. I guess only one house was lost but over 1000
acres of land was burned and a few fire fighters were injured. They said it was due to an illegal camp fire
and I want to know if the illegal campfire was started by illegal aliens living
in the canyons. The San Diego area has been in a drought and the
brush all over the county is dry and ripe for a devastating fire. In many of these canyons illegal alien camps
have been set up and they are just waiting for one of these camps to cause a very
big fire.
Well I guess that is it for today. It is time to get ready for the afternoon
edition of work.

I don't know when they did it, but today as I was driving home from work on the eastbound 54 freeway between the I 5 and Highland Avenue I noticed a new sign that would make Laila proud.
California State Highway 54 has been named the Filipino American Highway. It runs right behind my house and I guess one of these days I will take my camera and get her a picture of it.
I looked up some information on the net and at this highway link I found the following information.
The portion of Route 54 from its westernmost point to its intersection
with Route 125, in the County of San Diego, is officially named the
"Filipino-American Highway". This segment was named in honor of the
Filipino-American Community, which has made many contributions to California
and the nation. Among the many past and present Filipino-American historical
figures is Carlos Bulosan, a novelist and poet best known for the
semi-autobiographical "America is in the Heart," who was active in labor
politics along the Pacific coast of the United States and edited the 1952
yearbook for I.L.W.U. Local 37, a predominantly Filipino-American cannery union
based in Seattle. Other Filipino-American historical figures include, Philip
Veracruz, a labor leader who helped to found the United Farmworkers Union with
Cesar Chavez, and Major General Edward Soriano, the only Filipino-American to
have attained the rank of general in the U.S. Armed Forces. Major General
Edward Soriano was born in Pangasinan and migrated to the United States with
his family at an early age. In 2001, he was the director of operations,
readiness, and mobilization at the office of America's Deputy Chief of Staff
for Operations and Plans. In the County of San Diego, Filipino-Americans are
the largest Asian Pacific Islander group, making up 4.3 percent of the
population of the country, with many living in National City, Chula Vista, and
Southern San Diego. Major Filipino-American groups in the County of San Diego
include the Filipino American Educators Association of San Diego County, the
Council of Philippine American Organizations of San Diego County, and the
Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of San Diego County. Named by Assembly
Concurrent Resolution (ACR) 157, Resolution Chapter 145, on 9/12/2006.
So there you have it, something new and unexpected.

Wednesday, September 12, 2007
This morning has been unbelievable so far. Last night I spent a little too much time
gabbing in the chat so I went to bed a few minutes late, but I did get up on
time and Laila and I did our morning prayer routine and I posted OP and took
care of some game stuff before leaving for work.
I left a little early because I expected security to be a
little tight again today but I didn’t leave as early as I did yesterday. Traffic was light all the way to the freeway
onramp. The freeway onramp was backed up
all the way onto Plaza Blvd
and I didn’t see any good reason for it.
The ramp is metered and I noticed it seemed to really be
going slow. Well when I got to the light
I found out why. The guy in the left
lane was just sitting there. I don’t
know if he was talking on the cell phone, or if he broke down or what but there
he sat with no emergency flashers or anything.
I am sure glad I didn’t get stuck behind him. Anyway that was what was slowing everything
down as everyone was cutting each other off trying to get into the right lane
to get around that guy.
The freeway ride was fast and I made good time all the way
down to Main Street (Right in front of the base) and there things came to a
halt. Traffic there was backed up about
a quarter of a mile and not moving. In
fact the car in front of me was just dropping someone off and she got out and
started walking to the gate. She
actually got through the gate before I did.
Anyway one of the reasons for the delay is that there are
some people in this world that just do not have consideration for others. Here you have a long backup of people trying
to get to work and as was the case with the woman in front of me, she held up
everyone to talk to the gate guard. And
it was not a short conversation either.
Maybe she was trying to get directions or something in which case she
could have gone through the gate and asked any on of the hundreds of people
walking around on their way to work. But
no, better to hold up scores of vehicles instead.
The base has a rule against talking on cell phones while
driving but three times so far this week I have seen people talking on cell
phones while driving on base, so I guess that is not being enforced. I only griped about it today because I saw a
woman hit a curb and drive all over the road while talking on her cell phone
and I think that is dangerous, especially in the morning with many people doing
PT before work. There are always large
groups of people running down the road behind the school every morning and that
was the same road this lady was driving on.
I suppose someone is going to have to get run over before it starts
getting enforced.
Also I heard the just about the dumbest thing I have head in
ages on the radio this morning. Someone
in the California State Legislature has introduced SB-777. I will look this up and post a link as soon
as I get home. Anyway this bill is going
to eliminate some discriminatory words from being used in public schools. What words are these you might ask? The words listed are mom, dad, husband, and
wife. I guess they are discriminatory to
same sex couples.
I have just about had enough of this crap. I am tired of hearing about it, tired of the
parades, and tired of people trying to force their views on me and children in
elementary schools. I don’t care the way
they live their life and I will not discriminate against them for their
lifestyle. But I do not need it forced
on me by anyone. Gay is a choice and a
sexual preference. I do not talk to
people about my sex life and do not want to hear about other peoples. I want the news, politicians, and television
shows to just stop all this gay agenda crap.
I have heard enough.
Well I guess I had better get started on the work day.

I am really ticked off today about a few things. The first thing that has me ticked is why, when I spend 6 to 7 hours a day posting op for folks to I have to let my empire out unattended? It is because people don't show up before their empire goes out of DP and no one can go out for half an hour before the empire drops out. That would have been plenty of time for me to reset I am angry enough right now to just take a few days off and let them see how it goes when I am not there. Especially since I had let everyone know that since today is the anniversary of 9/11 and they all know I work on a military base and security is always a lot tighter I would have to go to bed earlier. Anyway last night because of some peoples self importance when I went to bed three people had not reset which is total BS with the amount of people we have posting and all. Anyway that is enough complaining about that. This morning I did get up early and I did leave early because I knew the gate was going to be a mess. I was not wrong about that one. The ride to the base was fast and uneventful but it took me 20 minutes to get through the gate (normally takes 5 minutes or less). Since I left early and all I actually managed to get to my parking space a little early and ran over to the bowling alley and grabbed some breakfast. So that was all good and I am here early with plenty of time to eat it and blog. Actually I am the only one here, as I think my fellow instructors forgot what day it was. The other thing that really has me ticked off is all the crap that has been going on with the General Petraeus and with the full page newspaper ad MOVEON.org placed about General Betray US. Actually I guess in one way it was good they placed the ad. It has enough people on both sides angry enough to damage the Democratic Party. I guess when you are high all the time you don't think about the long term affects of you actions. I think they actually hurt the Democratic Party and it was actually cool to see Nancy Pelosi, one of the most left wing of the bunch say it was uncalled for. Also I guess everyone's favorite mourning mom, Cindy Sheehan was arrested yesterday for disrupting congress. She has not been getting any play in the news so it was about time for her to step up and do something dumb. Since this is not the first time I would hope that they give her some serious jail time this time. No more quick release or posting bond, just keep her in there and let her rot. Also there was some congressman Tom Lantos from northern California who spoke out calling the general a liar and all. He is an immigrant from Hungary who somehow after becoming a college professor ran for congress and got elected. This jerk goes around preaching about the evils of the United States (the country that took him in) and showed absolutely no respect for the General. Well if you voted for this idiot be proud. He insults the country that took him in and it is my feeling that he should have his citizenship revoked and have him sent back to where he came from. Then he can talk out against that government, get jailed or killed, and we won't have to listen to his insults ever again. And to the fine folks that supported this leftist hack, maybe you should join with San Francisco and Berkeley and just leave the Union and form the Peoples Republic of Drug Addicts or maybe The Peoples Republic of the Irresponsible. I was listening to Michael Savage on the way home last night and besides this congressman he was livid about the fact that the San Francisco Film Commission and the Golden Gate Bridge Commission has denied a request from the United States Marine Corps to film a commercial on the bridge. I don't know what it is with San Francisco. It used to be one of the most popular places to go when you were on liberty and in uniform. Now if I were on a ship going there for Fleet Week or something I would take leave to get out of going there. They have turned so anti-military in that city and I think it has to do with the elected officials from there. Lets see, they have Mayor Gavin Newsome who defied state law and allowed gays to get married. But then marriage doesn't mean anything to him as he has been sleeping around on his wife. Actually in that sick town that will be enough to get him reelected. Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, and Diane Feinstein all come from that area. I am not even going to comment on that as it is self explanatory. Well I have managed to get off track and started rambling so I guess I will go ahead and save this and get to work.
