Two T-38 Talons are unloaded from NASA's Super Guppy aircraft Dec. 14, 2010, after being shipped to Holloman Air Force Base, N.M. for inspection and repair. The base is the main depot in Air Combat Command for repairing the aircraft. After 450 flight hours at their operating location, the T-38s will come back for inspection.

Congressional hearing...........from Rico
I well remember when this Congress-critter made the remark about GUAM 'tipping over' and thought well....in the context of Pelosi, Waxman, Boxer and company it 'fit' right in.
- A mind is a terrible thing to waste!
I will refrain from making jokes about raising the (debt) ceiling so this people do not 'hit' their heads on it, but...
What I fear WILL tip-over out Nation is an electorate incandescently stoopid enough to put morons like this into elected office!
- We may not survive ourselves!
Random drug-testing WITH penalties/consequences would be a very good idea for all public offices...and I include that Soetoro-Obama dude here (remember his physician telling him to throttle-back on the boozing last year? I gotta believe that he has access to the best booze and dope available as TOTUS, and he's taking advantage of it.).

Sarah Palin Speaks Out Against Left-Wing Hate and Lies
Nice Deb has the commentary, "Video: Hannity Interviews Sarah Palin."
And I'll just add that it's a great interview. Sarah Palin has been exhibiting tremendous leadership and poise over this past week or so. She's an immensely needed voice of moral clarity, and especially so in these difficult times of progressive un-reality.
RELATED:
* "CNN Poll: Majority Says Palin's 'Crosshairs Map' Not to Blame in Arizona Shooting — 49 Percent Say 'Harsh Rhetoric' Not a Factor."
* "Dana Loesch Gets Death Threats in Wake of Arizona Shooting."
* "United States Flag at Half-Mast at Sunset on MLK Day in Laguna Beach."
* "'Heated Rhetoric' Not to Blame in Arizona Shooting, Poll Finds."
ALSO: There's lots of commentary at Memeorandum. I'll link Nate Silver, who's amusing if not fully competent at political analysis.
Announcement: Threat Levels Raised,
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.
The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.
Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."
The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose."
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be alright, Mate." Three more escalation levels remain: "Crikey!" "I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend" and "The barbie is cancelled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

Soldiers driving the Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected vehicle were frequently knocking out voltage lines, putting crews and equipment at risk in addition to aggravating locals and damaging infrastructure. Researchers at the Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center at Warren, Mich. took an idea from Soldiers in the field and applied science. Officials said the kit adapts easily to newly integrated vehicles and requires no modification and can be installed without special tools. Photo Credit: U.S. Army photo
