Army drops bayonet training
I think this has happened before. I’ll look it up when I have more time. They drop it as irrelevant to “modern” warfare. Then they bring it back as relevant to teaching aggression–for those who need to learn it. So, the next story likely will be the comeback of bayonet training.

Back in the olden days
The days before Chrysler went on the dole. I liked those knit dresses, too.

Government medicine, or government bread
Amazes me how the legacy media can get away with, repeatedly, calling Obamacare “health care reform,” or “health care overhaul,” when it is really about a government takeover. Not as pleasant sounding, I suppose. Like “free” bread:
“If you relied upon the government for your bread, you would accept what you were given, and you [...]

Internet scoops legacy media again: Balloon boy seems to have come down to earth, and was well behind in the payments for the Prius he was driving.

Roosevelt Time
We go back on Roosevelt Time (my Corsicana grandfather’s term for Daylight Savings Time) on Sunday, an artifact of World War II that’s never been rescinded, proving that what the bureaucracy giveth it hardly ever taketh away.
And, lo and behold, DST might even be bad for your health, as it is statistically related to increased [...]

Put a sock in it, Joey
Do us all a favor, Joey. Leave Jerusalem to the adults. Go back to the circus where you belong. Or we’ll find a terrorist group that wants to take over east D.C. that you can set up talks with, while admonishing the D.C. government not to allow any development there without consideration of the terrorists. [...]

Put it in neutral, stupid
The key to solving these alleged runaway Toyotas with their supposedly stuck accelerator pedals, is to shift the transmission into neutral. Let the engine race, if it will, while the car slows down until you can pull over.
Instead, this latest fellow reportedly told the 911 dispatcher he was afraid to do that ’cause the car [...]

It ain’t about health care, folks
Why is our Affirmative Action president willing to stake his and the Dem’s immediate future on son-of-Obamacare? Simple. It will vastly expand the permanent Democrat bureaucracy .
“Once the state swells to a certain size, the people available to fill the ever-expanding number of government jobs will be statists – sometimes hard-core Marxist statists, [...]

The bureaucracy never sleeps
They’re always dreaming up new things to regulate, to keep their jobs and pensions. Up next: the Internet. You knew all this freedom couldn’t last, right?
