Thanks Brian Baird and Adam Smith for your great representation of districts full of military families.

I liked it better when the rest of the world thought we were assholes. This desire to be "liked" at the cost of safety and prosperity is truly a sign of mental illness.

Note to our feel good government: Lots of people in foreign countries like a two dollar whore, but nobody respects one.

From Fox:

Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.

The three, all members of the Navy’s elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral’s mast — and have requested a trial by court-martial. Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named “Objective Amber,” told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.

Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.

It’s a safer time than ever to be a terrorist hell bent on killing Americans and members of our military. In fact, it's safer now to be a terrorist than a member of the military tasked with eliminating terrorists.

LASIK

An amazing thing happened this weekend.

Up until 9:00 am this morning I had terrible eyesight, but yesterday at 3:00 PM I went to this amazing place with doctors who came highly recommended by friends, I paid them just a little over $2k, they cut my eyes with a laser. This morning I woke up with 20/20 vision.

Wow, how did this transaction happen without insurance coverage or a big fat government program?
