Just a reminder that there ARE consequences to being a despicable human being sometimes

Movement on the “Manning the Betrayer”  front.  Today the U.S. Army has recommended that PFC Bradley Manning should face a general court martial based on his a pre-trial hearing results.   I’m sure that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange could care less.  If found guilty the second crime will be if he doesn’t get the max:

Manual for Court Martial, 2002, Chapter 4, Paragraph 28

Article 104—Aiding the enemy

“Any person who—

(1) aids, or attempts to aid, the enemy with arms, ammunition, supplies, money, or other things; or

(2) without proper authority, knowingly harbors or protects or gives intelligence to or communicates or corresponds with or holds any intercourse with the enemy, either directly or indirectly; shall suffer death or such other punishment as a court-martial or military commission may direct.”

I say we sell raffle tickets to anyone who served in Iraq or Afghanistan.  One dollar each for the chance to be randomly drawn to be on this turn-coats firing squad.  The DoD could make MILLIONS!  I’ll buy the first twenty bucks worth……

I’ve said it before and I say it again: Tuesdays suck…….

I admit it, I’m a hater.  I hate Tuesdays.  There I said it, it’s now out there for the world to ridicule.  So be it.  Tuesday is just a crappy day.  What does it offer those of us slugging our way through the week?  It is the weekly pit of despair.  When you look at the rest of the week it is clear that Tuesday is the south end of a north bound camel.  Let’s check out it’s peers starting with:

Wednesday – Hump day.  You’re halfway there and things are looking up.  Plus it’s called ‘Hump’ day.  Ya gotta like that.

Thursday – Only one more work day till Friday.  You can almost taste the Friday Happy Hour specials already.  Got a solid work day in the office as everyone pitches in to get crap done.  Why? So they can scam out early on Friday of course.  Added bonus on Thursday is the NFL game that night.

Friday – TGIF baby.  You worked hard Thursday, so scamming out early today is possible.  Any new work can be pushed to Monday because “Hell it’s almost the weekend boss!”.  The entire weekend’s siren call sings to you.  Day is spent planning your off time to come, and drinking.  Not much real work done in the office, but the atmosphere is filled with the prospect of joyous libations tonight.

Saturday – Ahhh sweet sweet Saturday.  Sleep in an extra hour maybe, beach in the summer, BBQs and beers in the fall.  BSing with neighbors over the back fence.  Maybe getting a bit of shooting in.  More beers.  Playing trains with the kids.  Added bonus on Saturday is the college football games all the live long day.

Sunday – The day of rest.  Sounds nice right?  Yes, it is the Lords day.  Church, lunch out with the family and more FOOTBALL!  Real football, the NFL, not that NCAA stuff from Sat.

Monday – The work hangover day.  No one really gets anything done in the office on Monday.  You spend the AM recanting your teams delicious football victory, or moan about how the refs stole the game from them.  Some boring afternoon meetings to plan the week.  Those suck, but your mind is really on what Monday’s all about……….  Monday Night Football, and more beer!!

Tuesday – Back on point.  Tuesday’s just suck.  Period.  End of story.

I think I finally found the executive summary of what the OWS wants/wanted.

Posted in General with tags , , , on 8 January 2012 by The Pissed Off Tree Rat

This about sums up the Occupy (Insert name Here) circular demands when you can find one coherent enough to make a comprehensible statement:

     We ask that the government undertake the obligation above all of providing citizens with adequate opportunity for employment and earning a living. The activities of the individual must not be allowed to clash with the interests of the community, but must take place within its confines and be for the good of all. Therefore, we demand: … an end to the power of the financial interests. We demand profit sharing in big business. We demand a broad extension of care for the aged. We demand … the greatest possible consideration of small business in the purchases of national, state, and municipal governments. In order to make possible to every capable and industrious [citizen] the attainment of higher education and thus the achievement of a post of leadership, the government must provide an all-around enlargement of our entire system of public education … We demand the education at government expense of gifted children of poor parents … The government must undertake the improvement of public health – by protecting mother and child, by prohibiting child labor … by the greatest possible support for all clubs concerned with the physical education of youth. We combat the … materialistic spirit within and without us, and are convinced that a permanent recovery of our people can only proceed from within on the foundation of the common good before the individual good.

Yup…………. a bunch of fraking tools.  When will they realize that they are being used like a park full of $5 hookers.  Maybe, if they are lucky, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz will actually start pay them for doing her dirty work.

Another Reboot

Posted in General on 7 January 2012 by marcusatrocious

It seems that they are remaking The Thing again. The 1982 version was pretty good, but I’m not necessarily opposed to them taking a crack at a re-imagined version. Through my extensive contacts, I was able to secure an exclusive sneak-peak at the latest production. Witness:

Looks like a “must see.”
