Do Ask Do Tell

I don't think that a soldier who has just been shot by a Taliban bullethole is going to want a homosexual touching his body, picking it up, and carrying it out of the line of fire.  This would really not be the time for getting "excited" and having romantic distracting thoughts.

If gays are allowed to openly serve in the military, then these guys would always make an initial effort to protect the better looking soldiers.  Therefore, the ugly soldiers, who are usually our most productive and tough fighters, would be open to added danger and, let's call it like it is, extermination.

Make love not war?  It is a slogan that was wrong when they came up with it and it is still wrong!!!

Tar Balls May Actually Increase Tourism on Gulf Coast

A recent study by the Land Institute shows that tarballs from the leaking oil pipeline may actually help the economies on the Gulf Coast.  When asked how far they would travel to see a "tar ball," respondents actually gave an average of fifty miles farther then the distance they would travel to see Disneyworld.

So, although the hatch to cover the leak did not work, maybe this whole thing will have a silver lining and pull some of our red-states out of the economic doldrums.

People in my city spend a lot of money to see the La Brea Tar Pits Museum, and it just has a small amount of tar.  It seems to me that the bigger the tarball, the better.

I'd pay to see that!

Salute to the Heroes

Let's all salute the heroes who sacrifice to make this world a better place.  Those folks at BP oil company are just like you and me, only braver and smarter.

It takes a lot of courage and know-how to patch together a dome the size of  a three story building and then lower it down a mile to the sea floor to recover oil that would otherwise be wasted by leaking and disappearing into the sea.  These guys (and gals!) go to the extreme to use every drop of oil and thus protect mother earth.  Plus, we get to drive around in our motor vehicles.  I swear I will have enough money to lease a Hummer someday.

I am confident that they will get that dome working in no time.  I applaud the heroes at BP.

You should too.
