I know, I've been remiss ..............................

{Note to self: Do NOT indulge in wasabi-teriyaki macadamia nuts if you haven't eaten anything else all day ........................ :-( }

New term to add to y'all's vocabulary - "astro-turfing" - false grass roots organizations ............................

Astro-Turf

My biggest question about "SN" Hutto - if he's so smart, has a degree from Howard University - WHY did he not join the U.S. Navy as a commissioned officer?

I'm thinking he went in as a ringer - it's a variation of the "Wannabe Syndrome", with it's own set of pernicious behavior ....................... just about anyone who's spent time on active duty, in any branch of the service, has met someone who claimed a SEAL/Force Recon/SpecOps background, who turn out to be pathetic Walter Mittys ....................... seems to me, Mr. Hutto {he doesn't deserve acknowledgment of his rate} went into the Navy with the absolute purpose of denigrating our military - and what better way than to work toward a Mass Communications specialist rating?

Well, we all are delighted to see you back post-wasabe-teriyaki. Remind me to share the tale of my fathers self-inflicted jalapeno poisoning some time :)

Best Wishes...

DW, welcome to my BlogRoll!
GC, 'way back when, I was a bartender at an American Legion in the Lehigh Valley area of PA - one evening, a guest of a regular got uncontrollable giggles when the local weather report was on - seems he used to be married to the woman giving the report, and he was remembering the time he preparing some jalapenos {?}/habaneros {?} for canning/preserving - his wife became a little ................. "playful" ................... one thing led to another - just one tiny problem - he hadn't worn any type of gloves while doing his preparations of peppers - ye-eah, that 'interlude' didn't go off exactly as planned ................... they were divorced a short time later .................... ;-)
