This Sailor's CreedI am a United States Sailor, and a Warrior first. I fight under the Red, White and Blue of my Fathers and descend from the line of Jones, Decatur and Perry. In my ears rings "I have not yet begun to fight" and "Don't give up the ship", and in my veins flows Fire and Gunpowder.
I will master my profession and demand that my fellow Sailors master theirs. I will follow when led, and lead when able. I will place nothing above the welfare of my fellow Sailors, save my Mission, and no matter what my ship, squadron, station or watch, I will help deliver Defeat to the Enemy.
With Honor in my deeds, Courage in my heart, and Commitment in my hands, I will do my duty until Victory is in hand and Liberty is secure.
The SeaThe Sea is a choosy mistress. She takes the men that come to her and weighs them and measures them. The ones she adores, she keeps; the ones she hates, she destroys. The rest she casts back to land.
I count myself among the adored, for I am Her willing Captive.
Praise for the Yankee SailorDoing the tough work that most journalists shun.

Why Did The Arkansas Leprosy Story Simply Disappea
They didn’t issue a correction, didn’t add an update that the Arkansas Department of Health denies such an outbreak and claims the doctors were wrong, I had to actively hunt the site to find that story, they simply removed the whole original story……

Macs are sooooo easy! (Not)
Macs are “intuitive” and “easy to use” if you already think like an Apple programmer (and sometimes that’s not even sufficient *heh*). If not, they can be terribly frustrating machines, largely because with a Mac it’…

Chelsea, The Pimped Out Spoiled Brat

The New Obama Girls and Che
Hat tip to Hot Air for catching this telling video, that just simply captures the mindset, ideology, and intellectual wasteland that is the left.
Here is the original link that has sound.
At least I’ll give the Obama supporters credit that they…

Irony: California environmentalist demands trees be cut down
When do the tree huggers in California hate Redwood trees?
When they block their holy Solar Panels.

Pimping Chelsea- Was the apology too soon?
This is one of those stories that a lot of people cover so I ignore this just to avoid jumping on the pig pile.
