Good morning, Everyone. Good morning

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

WOW! Did you ever have an adventure yesterday. I admire your fortitude. But all-in-all it was probably much better than dealing with moose on the roadways. LOL

DC Metroland weather report ~ Today....Cloudy with occasional showers. Thunder possible. High 59F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60%. ~ Tonight....Showers early, then partly cloudy overnight. Low around 50F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.

Well, I'm confused. I thought once that big storm had passed, we'd be having some nice, sunny days. But, looks like chance of rain for the next few days.

That means music, fun, and mayhem!

I think I'm going to take off a little early today. Which means I won't be here this afternoon. But, before that happens I need to see what's been happening in FR since I left yesterday.

I know we're not suppose to discuss politics at the Canteen, so I'll just say quickly that I am in a rotten mood cause I feel betrayed by my government....again. So, I won't be in a chatty mood this morning. Please forgive me in advance.

Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are. Don't touch that dial. Don't change that channel. Put down that remote. Don't leave the room. Keep your eyes on your monitor. Cause...............I'll be bock!

And, for the rest of you………..

Now remember, the Canteen is

So, come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT

Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.

Today's FEEBLE

YOKE:

A famous magazine photographer was dispatched to a famous haunted house to get shots of the apparition residing there. 
In the haunted house, when the clock struck 12 midnight, the apparition appeared on the staircase landing. 
Amazingly, the apparition posed (like a supermodel) for the photographer! But lighting was very bad at the moment and the camera flash batteries were LOW. Anyway, the photographer snapped away. But the pictures did not come out well because of the low batteries.

He later explained to his boss at the magazine this way: 'The spirit was willing, but the flash was weak.'

I hope I am not violating any ettiquette by bringing news/debate into the canteen.

But since y’all support the troops I wanted to bring this thread to your attention.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1835543/posts

This is about a U.S. Army Sergent who after being handcuffed, was behaving politely but was then severely beaten and repeated tazed at the Las Vegas airport. The coverup appears to already be underway as the police have already released a statement that the officers did not break the rules.

There is a lot of detail, video, cell phone audio and witnesses but here is the key transcript

>>Sergent England: Sir, what did I do to deserve handcuffs?

Metro Officer: Well, it’s law enforcement’s view you used foul language and because we want to. I told you to give me your boarding pass.

Sergent England: I tried to give you my boarding pass, sir.

Metro Officer: You tried to be a jerk.

Beating begins.<<

In post #90 I have set up a web site called http://www.boycottlasvegas.com to try to bring pressure get the situation reexamined and appropriate action taken - but its a terrible web site right now.

I’m looking for web site help since I am incompetent. I do not want an anti-police site. Cops are a key backbone of American society. But rogue cops who beat helpless people and those who cover up for them do us all harm.

Again, I apologize if this is not the right place to post. I only have a few posts over the years in the canteen and am not really sure of the limits.
