Bio

I'm a truck driver. It sounds funny to say that since I really wanted to be one when I was a kid. The truth is that I move missiles around a navy weapons facility. I assuage my guilt of being on the government payroll by the fact that it's defense and not HUD or some other useless federal entity. I joined Ricochet mostly because it feels like a trip to Hollywood with all the stars out walking the streets to be able to converse with the likes of Peter Robinson, John Woo, Rob Long, Victor Hanson, and others. I recently finished my degree in political science at American Military University and hope to find some use for it eventually. If you would like to contact me directly email kingprawn at centurytel.net.

I've recently started blogging about spiritual things.

Valiuth: Frankly I would like it if he resigned, Nixon style. Impeachment would just feed into the persecution narrative they will build around him. · 0 minutes ago

This, so long as Biden goes with him, though the entertainment value of a Biden SOTU might be worth the damage he could do.

Is anyone planning to do the writeup? I know Dave has written about the other meet ups he's attended, but I think RushBabe acted as official photographer last night.

Pablo: King Prawn: I wish you were right, but after years of seeing the Spanish left operate (and this guy resembles them more and more by the minute) I would count on him to come back swinging strong. This guy has not come all the way to the top to let it go so easily. · 2 minutes ago

The difference now is that he faces a partially oppositional press and even dems in the Senate are becoming willing to distance themselves from him for the good of the party.

This could be the weekend when Holder gets painted as a rogue and put out. I'm not holding my breath, but it would be nice for a new appointment of that level to divert the Senate from some of the other things they're doing these days.

The King Prawn: This post came to mind last night at the meet up when I couldn't remember the key code to the bathroom door... · 14 minutes ago

But did you remember who wrote it, or what you had said about it? · 1 hour ago

I did. Devo Divo and I discussed it.

As I said last night, I prefer him spayed to in heat. The scandals have rendered him effectively just a figurehead with no real power or responsibilities beyond attending foreign dignitary funerals (and he even blew that one with Thatcher.)

Speaking of memory, the wife and I came up with a video last night that would be perfect for DocJay's video topic, but I'll be baked if either of us can remember what it is today.

BrentB67: Fascinating that two days ago I wrote a post that has garnered all of 18 comments and it is somehow on the Most Popular list, but thise one still active at 36 comment isn't.

Do the over lords of Ricochet have something to hide? Who knew what when? · 6 hours ago

Did you check the behind the paywall button? If so, it probably prevents it from showing up on the front page as that is viewable by the general public.

I prefer Walk Off The Earth's cover.

I'm positive Petraeus's scandal could have been papered over but wasn't because the administration does not trust him. He was, after all, a very successful and popular military officer and not a member of the Chicago gang. His scandal was made public to discredit him before he could tell the truth about Benghazi.

Rachel Lu: Do you have a good memory?

ἀλήθεια. · 2 minutes ago

Thanks to all of 15-20 minutes I spent studying Koine Greek I actually understand that.

To answer the question, I think it depends. I memorized the first 3 chapters of Gatatians with relative ease, I can spit out the list of being verbs, I could probably write out all the pronouns, I can tell you my first phone number, my deceased grand parents' phone number, my, my wife's, and my ex-wife's SSNs, health insurance policy number, all my bank account numbers, I can quote verbatim the definitions of deadly force, two person concept, two person control, access, technical knowledge, and the four nuclear weapons safety standards (all required when I was in the navy), but I can't tell you what I was about to use the blank browser tab for.

The word terrorism is being stretched too thin. As one character said in a movie, like butter spread over too much toast. I think it's about time to include violence done by Islamists into our understanding of Islamism. It is no longer generic enough to fall just into the more broad concept of terrorism. On our end, it clarifies what we are fighting against.

Jimmy Carter: Trial's over. What does the lawyer gain by doing the interview? · 25 minutes ago

TV time.

On second thought, she really missed a question. The lawyer explained that the basic defense was that the babies were not born alive because they were given a drug that would cause "in utero fetal demise." If so, then why stick scissors in their necks and cut their spinal chords when they were ex utero if they were already dead?
