Got here safely after the usual hubub of changing planes at Dulles. Was upgraded to buisness class-was suprised to not see it full. That, Mr. Tilton, is a crime. You should always fill first class and business-then open up some room in Economy. The rest of the trip here was

It has been a heck of a week. From finding out on Monday I was going to be on this project-to making my final preparations and getting ready to get on a plane this weekend. I’ll keep you guess where I am going for a while-but I’ll give you a

For not posting. However this is the only excuse I have. On Monday I was notified that I was going to be allowed to participate in different part of one of our current projects-STARTING THIS WEEKEND. Its a good news / bad news situation. The good news is I will

So consider what George Will has to say about Afghanistan. More to say on the return of the “Teflon General” tomorrow-but suffice it to say, I’m still not necessarily a fan of the man. Fox Fallon must have had his reasons not to like the guy-and I’d like to know

I was going to post tonight. A 13 hour day at work cured that notion. Now if it were doing something useful that made sense-well that’s one thing. But to just have to re-do work because some idiot thinks its a good idea, and then demands things on an unreasonable

My, my, my-how quickly the worm turns. For years loads of military bloggers have been fawning over Michael Yon, supposedly the only honest reporter covering the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now it would seem, he no longer enjoys the adoration of the masses. I mean after all-God forbid you

Beacause I can turn it on-and the resident Fox News morons fans don’t come along and change the TV. Last week was perfect. We could turn on the World Cup in the morning then switch it over to the US Open. A whole week without Glenn Beck on the tube

When I was a young man, I was a fan of the short lived TV show, Battlestar Galatica. I was going through flight school, there had been only one Star Wars movie and the Galatica seemed like an aircraft carrier. Besides-the chicks on the show were pretty hot. When its

Finally, a job opportunity in Asia I know I am really qualified for: Rent a White Guy. Not long ago I was offered work as a quality-control expert with an American company in China I’d never heard of. No experience necessary—which was good, because I had none. I’d be paid

One might think that my skirmish with the state of Alabama as noted below might have me changing my thoughts about government. Not really-clearly this represents what is a pretty obvious trend, the state is so short of money that they will do every thing they can to avoid paying
