Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help:

To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

Alberta Leads in Nation Pro-US Shift (O! Canada!)

[retrokitten]

LMAO! That is exactly what we use it 95% of the time for!

[two23]

Hey...NOT BAD!!! Was the 5 shots at 200 yds with the AR?

[cyncooper]

Wonderful headlines!

On point, true and upbeat.

Rumsfeld and Myers seemed concerned about morale getting down if this disinformation campaign keeps up.

[Carolina]

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!

Missing U.S. tanks were broken, stranded in desert (8 MIA Marines Found)

[retrokitten]

Very funny Peter Arnett Cartoon!

[Jaded]

Hi Cyn! Hope you are doing well.

How many days have they harped on expectations and "The Plan", now?

Seems like since we were last conversating on another thread even though it hasn't been. I'm cube-bound and it's my busy time so I've missed some briefings. I've heard these idiots almost daily and their song never changes.

Did hear on CNN at lunch that a British network hired Benedict Arnett.

[AFPhys]

For your edification, CENTCOM still does not have an official transcript of today's briefing posted to their web site. Your service to us is inestimable.

Dolly everytime I hear something like this it really shocks me.....call me naive....but it does rock you to the core to come face to face with evil on this scale.

Our side is too smug in assigning "evil" to Saddam, as if it isn't already all around us. The usual face of evil is mundane. Evil is when we cheat on our spouse; place professional advancement ahead of marriage and children; stand silent when your sister kills her unborn child; watch the sleeze on TV that's polluting our children because we're tired and it's funny; treat a war, even a just war, as a sporting contest; etc. It isn't reserved just for dictators and child molesters.

Naked eye?

Wisk for that naked eye?

Do you Dhue that naked-eyed??

"Hey...NOT BAD!!! Was the 5 shots at 200 yds with the AR?"

Nope, a Springfield 1903 30-06 with a modern stock. I haven't replaced the stock trigger on the AR yet. I can only shoot about 5" groups with that. I should be receiving the 2 stage match trigger from Bushmaster today. We'll see how that works.

[retrokitten]

Great article!

[AFPhys]

DoD has not yet posted the transcript for today, either... but that is not a real surprise given it's only been an hour or so.

[AppyPappy]

professional advancement ahead of marriage and children

Hmmmm......

1) he works overtime

2) he puts people through shredders

I can see how they are similar.

[Carolina]

Hey, y'all. 8 missing Marines were found!!!!! Missing U.S. tanks were broken, stranded in desert (8 MIA Marines Found)

[two23]

THANKS for the link to the good news...any names?

[ChewedGum]

All true enough, but there is a scale of evil that goes beyond the pale. Things that bruise the soul when you hear them.

Gum

"Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access into the mainstream of society."

Thank you! I knew someone would know it!

[Not A Snowbird]

I'm impressed!
