DaddyBear, watching Faith Hill sing the opening song for Sunday Night Football – Ummhmmm. You know, sweetie, you’re just as pretty as her, and I’d love to see you in a leather outfit like that.
Irish Woman – Are you crazy? She has absolutely no body fat. Never happen. Someone would poach me. Same reason I don’t wear animal prints.
Yep, it’s love.

Apparently, I am an infuriating man who buys everything he wants for himself, which makes it difficult to purchase an anniversary gift. So I have myself a nice Amazon gift card from my lovely wife.

Thomas Nelson over at The American Thinker is discussing possible candidates for vice-president on the Republican ticket next year. He seems to favor either Marco Rubio or Condoleeza Rice. I’m more familiar with Rice’s beliefs and accomplishments, but from what I can tell, Rubio would also make an excellent VP. There are some who question whether or not he’s a natural-born citizen, but from what I’ve seen, he was born in the United States, has always lived in the United States, and seems to hold no allegiance to another country, so by my understanding of the Constitution, he’s a natural-born citizen.

7 years ago today, Irish Woman and I committed to make each other crazy, put up with each other, support each other through everything life can throw at us, to raise my brood and the children to come, and to grow old together.
So far so good. She’s only tried to take my life twice, and I’m pretty sure both times were accidents.
Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart!

Yet when we strive to hold true, to stand firm to our beliefs as free men and women, as a group, to carry our weapons and defend our land and our homes, the weak become strong, and the wandering hold together as one.

Borepatch gives a pretty good run down of freedom. The owners of the hotel have the freedom to tell their employees what not to wear on the job and to fire them when the employees don’t comply. We, as consumers, have the freedom to point out this ass-hattery and take our business elsewhere.

Friday evening, I read through the grand jury report about the child rape* investigation at Pennsylvania State University. In a nutshell, one of the coaches in the football program is accused of abusing young boys he found through his own charity for underprivileged youth over the space of a couple decades, the head football coach and other senior members of Penn State leadership are alleged to have known about it and done nothing, and no-one knows for sure how many young boys were harmed due to evil and indifference.

It’s not the running through the house naked, the fear he engenders in the cats, the quite artistic graffiti on the wall next to his coloring desk, or even the fighting position he’s digging in his sandbox that worries me about Boo. It’s the maniacal laughter he has while he’s doing it that gets to me.

A person who wears a uniform was convicted recently of murdering Afghan civilians and sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole. This individual was apparently part of a unit that participated in murdering civilians, mutilating the bodies of Afghans, using drugs in the field, and beating up a soldier who reported the behavior.
You’ll notice I didn’t use the title “soldier” to describe this cretin. A soldier is someone who accepts the responsibilities of the uniform and acts accordingly. The military has a very clearly defined set of rules to live by, and this guy didn’t even come close. He’s not a soldier, he’s just a guy in a green suit, and now he wants us to believe that after having some time to think it over, he believes that what he did in Afghanistan is wrong.
What he and his partners in crime did violated the trust of the nation they swore to serve. Yeah, I’m not a fan of how the war in Afghanistan has been fought, or the goals that have been set for it, but in no way do I think that targeting non-combatants, brutalizing other soldiers, and using drugs in a combat zone can be excused under any circumstances.
What this guy and the bunch of savages he led did was deserving of much more than he or any of them will get. I’m proud of my service and the service of my family stretching back to the Civil War. These people put a stain on our uniform. I’m always overly critical of soldiers who break the law, because I feel that they should be held to a higher standard of conduct than the average citizen.
This guy should be executed in full view of his unit so that they, and the entire world, know that we hold ourselves, and especially our soldiers, responsible for what they do.
