You should have seen the fantastic fireworks display on the Mississippi River right by us. We had a great view from the back side of the house! Awesome! What surprised me is they did it at about 8:00.

On either side, Spanish only is spoken.

Two doors down, they disappear for a month and reappear with a convoy: is it drugs or bodies?

At any rate, no war is necessary, not with "amnesty" and "extension of Social Security benefits".

Besides, the truth is that they have Bill Richardson as governor.

In a lighter vein, the real war will be against the jihadists, and their strategic web, the Axis of Evil, which, consulting a map, we note flanks China, the Anus of Evil, the Adam Clymer of nations.

And on that score, Happy New Year to our troops, our veterans and their families.

God Speed the Finest Fighting Force on Earth to Swift Victory and Safe Return.

And stay the hegemonic hand of the beetles of Beijing.

LOL! One of my favorite flicks.

"Well boys, we got three engines out, we got more holes in us than a horse trader's mule, the radio's gone and we're leaking fuel -- and if we was flying any lower why we'd need sleigh bells on this thing. But we got one little fudge on them Ruskies, at this height why they might harpoon us but they dang sure ain't gonna spot us on no radar screen!"

Happy New Year Light Speed!

Happy New Year buckaroo's!

Had posted the Strangelove pic and comment on a thread about a week ago...on stealth aircraft.
someone commented about Mexicans and cross border detection.
my first reply was....B-52's are just fine...no need for stealth on the Mexi-cal border.
next post was..."Arizona B-52 drive fund"...then Kong..and Chalupa drop.

Hell yes.....Drop the Chalupa!
