Heading out with the S.O. this weekend for some pre Christmas revelry. Golf? -yes. Posting?-probably not. Hopefully we will support this worthy endeavor. However I did come across this little tidbit on the Navy Times web site. As many as nine of the Navy’s 26 three-star admirals could retire by the

Hitchens makes a point…….
Pathetically misguided about Iraq he may be, but Christopher Hitchens still writes with great style and conviction. It took me a long while to finish his book, god is not great-How religion screws up everything. Took a while because I had to stop and put the book down because I
