In a stunning upset, Massachusetts now has a Republican Senator, Mark Brown, the new lion of the Senate. His first victim? Martha Coakley. He came from behind and upset the supermajority that the democrats have enjoyed and also upsetting the one year anniversary of President Obama’s inauguration.

Well done ~~Mr.~~ Senator Brown!

Thank You
Massachusetts!

CATAGORIES: COMMENTARY, HUMOR, MILITARY, REAL HEROES — FloridaBill @ 10:08 am

Especially for any who doubt the grit of the ‘younger generation’. American troops are as tough as ever. Those of you who already knew better, pass it on.

For those of you who are non-golfers, David Feherty is an irreverent TV golf analyst. An Irishman and former touring professional, he has a whimsical and often sarcastic view of the world and of professional golf. This article is particularly good. I don’t know where we get these kids he speaks about, but bless them, and thank God they are on our side.

THE MARINES IN HELMAND PROVINCE…

CATAGORIES: IRAQ & AFGHANISTAN, MILITARY, NEWS & BREAKING NEWS & FOLLOW-UP, REAL HEROES, SEMPER FI, USMC/MARINE CORPS, i love it when this happens — Yarbz @ 7:00 am

“…
Lt. Col. Matthew Kolich’s unit, Regimental Combat Team 3, is responsible for operations in southern Helmand province, an area known as a Taliban stronghold. He sees the results of the Marines’ efforts in increased interaction with locals and more frequent visits by the provincial and district governors.

“The local nationals are starting to come over to our side,” said Kolich, assistant operations chief for RCT-3. “The Taliban are on their last legs in some areas … Locals are capturing Taliban and turning them over to Afghan security forces. Over the last few weeks, we have been able to make huge strides in freedom of movement.”

Here is the caption for the photos below. These are from a website that updates Afghanistan War photos continuously. It’s well worth checking out regularly. Click on either pic to go to the site:

U.S. Marines from the 2nd MEB, 1st Battalion 5th Marines sleep in their fighting holes inside a compound where they stayed for the night, in the Nawa district of Afghanistan’s Helmand province, Wednesday July 8, 2009. AP

When these and other troops come home, I think we owe them a smile, respect and a beer or two. I have not passed up the opportunity to buy a beer for a vet. It’s all to rare an opportunity however…

AS USUAL… YARBZ HAS THE ANSWER:

CATAGORIES: MILITARY, NEWS & BREAKING NEWS & FOLLOW-UP, REAL HEROES — Yarbz @ 11:52 am

Here is what we need to do:

Have a Navy Seal with bubble suppressing gear go under the life raft and poke a small hole or two very slilently and leave.

Then, the boat slowly takes on water and yet nobody is near them. The pirates are sinking and need help. The hostage situation now turns into a water rescue. End of issue.
