This is pretty cool actually.
Apparently some English pilots were allowed to train on our B-2 bombers. This reporter got to tag along and blog about the experience.
Here is his actual reporting on the subject as well.
Kimmel normally doesn’t amuse me, not that I dislike him and all, but he did peak with The Man Show. That said, this isn’t bad.
More related to the company trying to restart the Crusades and putting our soldier’s lives at risk.
The Aussies jumped in and want the scriptures removed, as does the Pentagon. Even the Christian Science Monitor isn’t on the side of these Talibangelical idiots.
The company has since listened and will not longer continue the practice of proselytizing at the barrel of a gun.
Frankly, their response is weak, on many levels. First, they never appreciated that what they are doing is wrong. Second, they are sending out around 100 removal kits…to fix 200,000 units shipped. Nice.
Third – and this tells you the REAL spirit of these so-called Christians – they chose Capitalism over Christ. Seriously, I’d have more respect for the bastards – not much, granted – if they stuck, well, to their guns (or gun sights as it were).
Either way, it is once again instructive to watch how Talibangelicals act as opposed to how they preach.
Sadly, what is most instructive about this NPR story are the vast amount of bigoted, Reich Wing assholes that have NPR accounts. No wonder I stopped donating to them; they are corrupted from Steve Inskeep down to the comment trolls.
Anyway, some pure bred crackers want to start an all-white basketball league. This was originally reported in Augusta, GA, one of the Southern towns the league wants a team in. Presumably because they already have a very regressive golf club there.
Just a few more stories from various sources which say about the same thing.
Sounds like something Sarah Palin and her ilk would love.
Some pretty interesting technology most of us probably didn’t know existed.
I still don’t have my flying car, though.
Some interesting pieces of American life as we head into census season.
Classic Star Wars “doh!” moments.
This is a pretty cool interview with a guy who decided to upload educational videos he made for his family and friends to YouTube. He’s covered math, science, and recently economics.
You can find them here.
Good stuff and I’m going to try to visit from time to time to see what’s new.
The Talibangelicals are really going out of their way to get our troops killed in some Bizarro World 21st Century Crusades.
Trijicom, a defense contractor who makes night vision gear for the Marines, is likely in violation of federal law for inserting bible verses into their serial numbers.
I mean, yeah, my In-and-Out cups and fry boats have verses on them, but we aren’t importing Double-Doubles to feed Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan. Nor are we buying them with federal monies.
The gall of these Talibangelicals to create a situation that just feeds into the al-Qaeda/Taliban message that we are out to convert those we are purportedly protecting would be pathetic if it wasn’t so dangerous. They really probably think they are doing God’s work. Why placing the Christian God’s words on a weapon meant to kill supposed Muslims is supposed to make other people want to give up Islam is beyond me.
Then again, most things Talibangelicals think are good idea just make my skin crawl.
