SO.. What is Proper Etiquette for The Flag?

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama watch as the colors are retired during the Carrier Classic NCAA basketball game between North Carolina and Michigan State on the flight deck of the USS Carl Vinson in Coronado, Calif., Friday, Nov. 11, 2011. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh)






hmmmmmm.... Lets See:


Raising and Lowering the Flag

The flag should be raised briskly and lowered slowly and ceremoniously. Ordinarily it should be displayed only between sunrise and sunset. It should be illuminated if displayed at night.
The flag of the United States of America is saluted as it is hoisted and lowered. The salute is held until the flag is unsnapped from the halyard or through the last note of music, whichever is the longest.

Three Weeks Later You Say??....

So it looks like "Our" car company has a big ass loser lemon on its's hands....


A Chevy Volt that was used in crash tests caught fire ...three, count 'em THREE weeks later?


Boy oh boy that is a nice check mark in the WTF? column now isn't it?


I'm not gonna rush out an buy one of these boondoggles.......







The NHTSA announced earlier this year that they were launching an investigation into the lithium ion batteries found in the newest electric and hybrid vehicles, as with such high levels stored energy there could be an increased risk of fire and this concern was stoked recently when a 2011 Chevrolet Volt burst into flames while in the care of the NHTSA. However, there is an interesting twist in this story as the Volt in question had been used for a violent side impact crash test some three weeks earlier. This means that it wasn’t as though the Volt was being driven around and it caught fire, nor was it being charged when it caught fire but instead, the car was sitting (badly wrecked) in a storage lot in Wisconsin when the car caught fire.
Prior to this latest incident, there were two other occurrences of a 2011 Chevrolet Volt catching fire with the first one involving a questionably homemade EV parked in the same garage while the most recent occurrence in North Carolina is currently under investigation. That second fire has been very hush-hush as GM and Siemens (who provided the high speed aftermarket charger involved in the NC fire) have planned to meet with local authorities and the electric company sponsoring the electric vehicle testing programs in that region.

 President Barack Obama’s goal of putting 1 million electricvehicles on U.S. roads by 2015 is part of his strategy to reduce dependence on foreign oil.

More Politically Correct TV is coming our way.


I was writing the previous post when the "boss" calls from the other room " come 'ere you gotta see this"


Me: "What?"


The boss: " Check out this new show"


Then I hear the add start.... "Sunday on TLC... All American Muslim......"


WHAT?

Are they going to do a show that is "All Iranian Catholics"?

Or how about  "Hooters Girls of Saudi Arabia"


Or maybe    " Living Gay in an Islamic Country"?


Now they are going to start jamming this muslim  agenda down out throats?


( Disclaimer... I know that not all muslims are terrorists)


I want to see this show and I want to see the supposed "All American Muslims" condemn thae


attacks and attrocties that are commited in the name of Islam.  If the show does this then hats off to 


them...  I doubt it will happen... I think it will be more like this:

A really good time at the "466" in Danvers Ma. Its a great sports pub, great food and cold beer.


They have a bunch of flat screen TV's and the college game was on.  North Carolina - Michigan.

that included the USS Carl Vinson.


I was kinda watching off and on when suddenly the ESPN guy started interviewing

 The Gunner's Dream (Waters)

Floating down through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now.
In the space between the heavens
and in the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream.
I had a dream.
Good-bye Max.
Good-bye Ma.
After the service when you're walking slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell
And touch the silk in your lapel
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream.
A place to stay
"Oi! A real one ..."
Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what's more no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door.
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no-one kills the children anymore.
And no one kills the children anymore.

Night after night
Going round and round my brain
His dream is driving me insane.
In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight.
What's done is done.
We cannot just write off his final scene.
Take heed of his dream.
Take heed.









 

Occupier Devolution

If you have ever wondered what would happen in a society consisting entirely of liberals, the Occupier movement is providing the answer: devolution. It is almost impossible to keep up with the downward spiral, but here are some of the highlights of the last 24 hours:

ISSUES


I’ve written in the past posing the question “Where do we go from here?”


This question, in it’s simplicity, asks the reader to contemplate life after the USA as we know it.


I try to be objective and even maintain a positive outlook on the country. . I really do. Try, I mean. I have 2 growing kids for Christ’s sake.


I’ve never been a negative person. Growing up, I was always taught that the sun always rises, the early bird gets the worm, Early to bed early to rise…. Etc. All positive quotations and clichés.


But, I’ve never seen my country in this condition. 50 years into the Great Society and we’re broke. I mean, yes, we heard ‘broke’ back in the 70’s, 80’s, ‘90’s and ‘00’s. But we’re seriously broke this time.

BillyBob Throws Me Some Motivation....

Next wednesday is the one year blogiversary of the nsfw sometimes Feral Irishman.


I posted a few weeks back that I wanted to hit 1500 posts... 


I have about 145 to go by next week.


BillyBob from  "HELL ON EARTH" sends some motivation in an email...




I still think you can make that 1500 number. 6 days left, 145 more posts. 24 posts a day, no problem!



Thanks for the confidence... now I gotta go dig up some material!

Today is the 236th birthday of the United States Marine Corps.

THANK YOU to all who have served and to those who will serve.

Ninth Foot Washs Up in British Columbia.."WTH?"




The remains of a foot were found encased in a sock in a hiking boot that washed up in Sasamat Lake in Port Moody over the weekend. An autopsy on Monday confirmed the remains are human.
The foot is the ninth found in southwestern B.C. in the past four years. But unlike the previous eight cases, this one was found in freshwater, not saltwater, said coroner Steve Fonseca, manager of the Identification and Disaster Response Unit for the BC Coroners Service.

I stopped at McD's this morning for 2 Egg McMuffins ( I am eating low carb so I feed the english muffins to the birds at work), a bottle of water and a coffee.  The girl and the digital sign say "$8.31 at the second window".


I pull around to the window and hand her a twenty dollar bill,  a quarter, a nickle and a penny. 




*whistling...........


still * whistling..........










She gave me the wrong change twice, in my favor mind you, and I finally had to explain
that $20.31 minus $8.31  was $12.00.  Don't they have that on the register?

In Two Hours They Will Test The EAS System.....

What are your thoughts on this?


 Okay, my first thoughts are:


 Do we need a "National" Emergency Alert System/?


Aren't most emergencies local?


Don't The Cable News Networks Already Preempt Programs
with important stories?


I can understand if the super volcano under yellowstone was due to erupt, or an asteroid or comet was going to hit the United States, or we were going to be attacked by aliens, you know something that would affect MOST of the country but other than that I don't see the need to warn the whole country about an emergency that would only affect a small percentage of the population.


Look what the cables news shows did on 9/11  everyone was transfixed to the TV and the internet
all across the world. They instantaneously brought us live coverage of that. What was the GOV gonna do? Warn us that there were alot more planes and scared the beejesus out of all of us?
The news did a good enough job of it.


When there is flooding, or hurricanes, or tornadoes, or tsunamis aren't they all localized
considering the scope of the disaster to the size of the country?


I guess I just don't see what this will accomplish or what it will be used for.....


That is all....




The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are spearheading an aggressive public education campaign reminding Americans not to panic when they lose television and radio service for a few minutes on Wednesday during a test of the Emergency Alert System.

Although the public alert mechanism is decades old and often tested and used at the local level, it has never before been tested on a nationwide scale.

This first-ever test will occur at 2:00pm EST on Wednesday, November 9 and will occur simultaneously across the U.S. and its territories, lasting up to three-and-a-half-minutes.

These Three Idiots Need a Boot In The ASS.......

( as well as the rest of the OWS crowd)






Occupy Boston protesters Kiearn Lyons, 17, of Norwood, Jeffrey Nunes, 17, of Malden, and Sean Cormier, 21, of Westport, appear for their arraignments at Boston Municipal Court this morning.




They allegedly broke away from the other protesters and burst into a Burger King on Boylston Street, wearing masks and frightening customers.

I'm sure that will sway the public opinion in their favor...
