None of the Sissy Crap
Are you tired of those piss weak 'friendship' poems that always sound
good, but never actually come close to reality?
Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship.
You will see no cute little smiley faces on this card --
Just the stone cold truth of a great friendship.
1. When you are sad -- I will help you get hammered and plot revenge against
the bastard who made you sad.
2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
3. When you smile -- I will know you are thinking something that I would
probably want to be involved in.
4. When you are scared -- I will tease you about it every chance I get until
you're NOT.
5. When you are worried -- I will tell you stories about how much worse it
could be until you stop whingeing.
6. When you are confused -- I will try to use only little words.
7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well again.
I don't want whatever you have.
8. When you fall -- I will laugh at your clumsy arse, but I'll help you up.
9. This is my oath.... I pledge it to the end. 'Why?' you may ask; because
you are my friend.
Friendship is like pissing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can
feel the true warmth.

True Friendship Aussie Style...............
But "all is well..."..........................from Rico
I am reminded of the scene late in the movie "Animal House" when the crowd is stampeding and the character played by Kevin Bacon is screaming "all is well...all is well" just before he is trampled.
The Red Shed, the Fed, the MSM...the usual suspects in other words...would have us believe that all IS well, that the worst is behind us now.
- At the same time they grudgingly admit that unemployment will stay bad until well into 2011, and the economy will stay 'soft' for some time yet.
All comforting words. Small words. Move along now, nothing to see here.
Certainly nothing as disturbing as a Kondratieff Wave that indicates we have nothing to fear except the Koolaid being offered us by Team Obama.
The REAL pain has not yet appeared on the horizon. Look for yourself and decide:
Would THEY lie to US?

A Reader Asks Stormbringer:
"I just got an FNAR (7.62 NATO) rifle and am looking to scope it up. I am not a thousand-yard shooter, more realistically 300-500 yards (I only have access to a 300 yard range anyway)."
The FNAR tactical / sniper rifle was first introduced to shooting, public in 2008. It is a product of the famous Belgian company FN Herstal - Fabrique Nationale.
"Any advice on a good scope? The FNAR has Picatinny rails for the mounts."
Go to STORMBRINGER to see my advice - S.L.

Daniel Hannan on America's Insane Departure from the Constitution
"We have holders of national office, when faced with widespread opposition to their proposals, whose first instinct is to openly slander the America people, view the people as an enemy to be defeated by any means necessary, and tacitly endorse violence to repress them." Kim Priestep

Pilot Gripes......
After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a “gripe sheet,” which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That’s what friction locks are for.
P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you’re right
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny. (I love this one!)
S: Aircraft warned to: straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

Is there something..............from Rico
Is there something WE don't know?
More precisely, is there something our Governments are NOT telling us? Something they know but do not want us to know?
Our 'fiat' currencies are backed by the full faith of the government, right? What could possibly go wrong with that?
Unreported News: World governments [read: central banks] have a Central Bank Gold Agreement which governs how much gold these Central Banks [read: governments] can sell per year.
- This year, official sector sales of gold have been only 140 tons out of a limit of 500 tons.
Hmmmmm. Everyone a billionaire, like in Zimbabwe?
FIGHTER PILOT, ENGINEERING GENIUS, GURU of MODERN WAR
His inspired thought process led to the creation the of the F-16 - the most maneuverable fighter ever designed, an ideal all-purpose fighter bomber, and by 2009 - 39 years after its debut - still serving in the inventory of twenty-five air forces around the world.
He never made General because he was too busy telling the truth . . . people hate it when you do that . . . -S.L.
Colonel John Boyd - a fighter pilot without any combat kills - went on to become the most influential military strategist of our time. His philosophies influenced modern maneuver warfare doctrine, and he is credited with inspiring Schwarzkopf's brilliant Gulf War victory in 1991.

The Dawn Keye diet
A friend of ours, a nurse, who has done a lot of research about dieting, had given us information about the various popular diets including Atkins, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, and the South Beach Diet.
She then mentioned a diet about which we haven’t heard previously, but which she insists works for almost everyone:

Iraq v Afghanistan........from DJ Elliott
Afghanistan is roughly the same land area as Iraq and a 10-20% larger population with a considerably worse road network.
NATO/US numbers on the ground are half what is now in Iraq (only 1/3rd max surge).
ASF is only about a fifth the size of ISF.
Yet Casualties, and insident rates only became comparable to Iraq when Iraq's activity dropped by 80% over the last 18 months.
That puts the BS about Afghanistan's activity into perspective.
Do we need a surge? Yes.
For the same reason we did in Iraq and the press ignored: Covering for while training and expanding the ASF to a size capable of covering the size of the country.
I expect the USMC to be completely out of Anbar in January.
I do not expect the USMC to reduce its deployment schedule.
RCT7 is already ready to go and RCT3 is not due to leave for some time now.
Which means they are about to augment the MEB to a MEF in Afghanistan...
The real problems in Afghan are
1. logistics: How many can you support?
2. Pakistan: Safehaven.
3. Russia: Power politics, they do not like NATO there.
4. Iran: Own adjenda.
