H/T: Blackfive
Kharmah Awakens
I’ve never been to Iraq, and barring some miracle cure for emphysema I won’t be going. My ignorance of conditions on the ground does not make me hesitant to state the following: we are losing the war on terrorism in every theater in which we are currently engaged.

I see the Beth at My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy is considering Ubuntu, so I thought I’d post some thoughts. I’ve been using Linux since about 1999 but up until this year I have never found a Linux distro that I felt had any chance of gaining any appreciable share of the desktop market. They […]

A bit of black paratrooper humor. This is the 82nd Airborne Division Chorus performing “Blood Upon The Risers.”
Blood Upon The Risers

Mah boyz earnin’ dher pay (and then some).

Despite my distaste for modern science, I couldn’t help but wonder if Beth’s assertion had any merit. In the interest of the empirical process I thought I’d give it a go.
So, anyway, Ron Paul is an isolationist hack that doesn’t seem to realize that you […]

KWTX - HomePage - Shark Attack
I’ve talked about sharks before on this blog. To me they are the embodiment of everything that is both wonderful and terrible about nature. But they are also used as pawns in the neo-environmentalist fight and any attempt to characterize them as what they truly are –dispassionate eating machine […]

BLACKFIVE: The fight in Afghanistan
Matt has an excerpt from a buddy in Afghanistan up over at Blackfive today, and in that excerpt this NCO touches on what, I think, ought to be the number one talking point in this War on Terror. Sad to say that it is the single least touched on point by […]

*Tracked Back At:
My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (who I’m happy as hell to see is still around and blogging. Beth’s no slacker like Yours Truly. Though, now I want to know how I can get banned in Red China and India too)
Man who claimed war crimes in Iraq charged with falsifying record
You know, if there […]

Sicko is Socko | TIME
OK, I get it. George Bush is bad, everybody hates him. But there has to be a point when one examines themselves for subjective opinions and views that might be skewing one’s reaction to an issue. I would argue that time for such reflection would be, oh, I dunno, right before […]

I started this blog almost four years ago. The site itself (goldfalcon.org) was started even before that as a way to communicate with other paratroopers who had served with the 4th Battalion 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division (The Gold Falcons).
 
In time the blog took over as the major function of the […]

Kevin Underwood was a blogger.
clicky.
and had a pretty extensive online presence:
More clicky

There are just so many things wrong in this story I hardly know where to begin. A good starting point, though, might be:
Meiwes told the court how he severed Mr Brandes’ penis and that they both tried to eat it without success.
OK, how freakazoid do you have to be to want to literally eat a […]

I don’t watch COPS. I haven’t since the late 1980’s. There are a lot of good reasons for this, but people in law enforcement tend to misunderstand when I start to talk about militant, insular cultures that cultivate an “us vs. them” mentality or when I shoot off on one of my rants about how […]

Katy’s SPF is always fun and I try to play whenever I remember it. This weeks theme is photos of you acting like a jerk-ass. The potential pool of photos for this particular category was quite large in my case. I was able to winnow them down to the one below, which has appeared on […]

My kids got gussied up in their Halloween costumes. I thought they were cute, so I thought I would subject you to them. Cut me some slack, I’m a proud Dad. (Click for the larger, non-distorted images)

before I head into the studio for the evening, and you should too. If you’re on the East Coast stop what you’re doing, turn to PBS right now and watch this. If you miss it tonight catch the rest tommorrow. If you’re on the west coast it starts at 2100. There is sure to […]

Just crazy, stupid busy in the studio working on the album, working on the website, working on the management and promotion (see what all of you complimentary people did?) Anyway, hopefully I’ll have the bulk of the studio work done soon, working on booking the summer tour for 2006 that runs from Seattle to Nashville.
The […]

A buddy of mine just posted this. It is purportedly from a career law enforcement officer who spent the last three days in New Orleans.
I got back from New Orleans last night about midnight. I was there since Tuesday morning. I had six hours of sleep during that time.
Lafayette fared pretty well during the hurricane. […]
