Well I went to Rochester last weekend and I was reminded of how much I hate traveling. Can’t stand it anymore. I never thought that could happen! Stuck in a car for 6 hours one way is just too much now. Oh well. I went there to see a drum corps show, and to go see [...]

Royal Army Medical Corps Association, Blandford Camp On 15 May, I spoke on My Life as a Freelance Comedy Writer for the RAMC Association at Blandford Camp in Dorset. I was picked up from Wimborne Minster by Tony Phillips and after he had checked us in at the gatehouse, it was interesting to see inside the camp. Army bases are not normally noted for being pleasant to look at but

The dustup between the U.S. and its Pakistani counterterror allies over a June 10 firefight on the Afghanistan border has stirred up new questions about Islamabad's commitment to the fight and the loyalties of its border guards. According to Pakistan, at least 11 of its paramilitary Frontier Corps border force were killed by coalition forces firing into Pakistan from inside Afghanistan this week.

Green Lantern Corps is quickly approaching the point where it falls victim to The Revolution’s dreaded axe. This title continues to be nothing more than a remarkably ordinary read.

The New York Times' Gail Collins: Why write about the suspension of the Fourth Amendment when we can cover Barack Obama bowling. As if the American press learned little from its negligence in the run-up to the 2003 Iraq invasion, it finds that it's easier and apparently less hassle to focus on the trivial and the meaningless. Why cover the Bush administration's policy on torture when we can examine until the cows come home Barack Obama's bowling skills and eating habits. Glenn Greenwald on his blog for Salon points out yet again how the US journalists fail to keep the public informed.

The Daily Show’s Rob Riggle, himself a former Marine, recently filed a very amusing —and very trenchant— piece about the Corps’ decision to open a recruiting station in Berkeley.

In MRS. LIEUTENANT: A SHARON GOLD NOVEL, the husbands of the four newly married women each earned an officer’s commission in the U.S. Army by participating in Reserve Officers Training Corps – ROTC – on their college campuses. At the start of the novel in the spring of 1970, anti-Vietnam War protests have frequently targeted these ROTC on-campus programs. The Wikipedia entry on ROTC gives the history of the program: “The concept of ROTC in the United States began with the Morrill Act of 1862 which established the land-grant colleges. Part of the federal government's requirement for these schools was that they include military tactics as part of their curriculum, forming what became known as ROTC. “Until the 1960s, many major universities required compulsory RO

Green Lantern Corps is a title that is fighting to earn a permanent spot on The Revolution’s pull sheet. I gave this title a try during the Sinestro War.

Florida State University's College of Education and the Peace Corps have developed a unique graduate program that incorporates two years of international volunteer service with Tallahassee coursework. The Peace Corps Master's International Program in Education is recruiting its first group of students for the Fall 2008 semester. Students will teach English, math or science in one of the 70 countries in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe and Latin America where the Peace Corps  operates. Students will spend a full academic year at FSU taking courses in teaching methods and international education before their required two-year Peace Corps stint. When they return to Tallahassee, they will complete their studies and serve as mentors to incoming program students. "The students will come back to campus to finish their degrees, filled with a world of new insights," said Pamela "Sissi" Carroll, chairwoman of FSU's Department of Middle and Secondary Education.

Well, it depends on which part of the IRGC you are talking about.  This is just like saying all Democrats are Socialists, some are pretty conservative, even more conservative than some Republicans.  Also the IRGC is a business and has many fingers in the Iranian Economy and is a financial ally with Hamas and Hezzbollah.  They are a mixed bag of terrorists and business men.  It is hard to put a blanket over them and call them all terrorists.  Today in the WSJ,  Amir Taheri has a good articlke on who the IRGC really are.  Who Are Iran's Revolutionary Guards?

Man, what is wrong with Harry Reid? He tried to take some credit for what Rush did with that illegal letter that he and other Democratic senators sent to him and signed? If you haven't heard or seen the videos they will both be at the end of this post. The first will be the video of Reid taking two words, that Rush Limbaugh said, out of context and condemning them; the second will be a link to the video of Reid thanking Rush and trying to take credit for the money being raised.Senator Reid realized that his plan had backfired and tried to steal some of the credit from Rush. What he's trying to do is cover up the fact that what they did was wrong and illegal and say that this letter was something great because of what he did. It's great that the money will go to the Marine Corps. Law Enforcement Foundation , but it doesn't take away from the fact that what Reid and other Democratic Senators did, including Hillary Clinton, was wrong and illegal.

Given the fact that the threat of getting sued is on just about every business owner's mind, it is hardly surprising that most businesses are held in the form of a corporation or limited liability company. While this makes sense, how to actually form an entity is an issue to.You can form a corporation or a limited liability company in three basic ways. You can do it yourself. You can use a cheap online service. You can hire an attorney. The "best" choice is primary a balancing act of two factors - price and risk.Price is often the first thing that most people think of when forming business entities comes to mind. Let's face it, most new businesses are idea rich and cash poor. You just know it will be the next big thing, but the old bank account is not exactly bubbling over at the moment.To save a ton of money, you can form your business entity yourself. Of course, you need to figure out how to do it, and hope you get it right. A bit more expensive option is to use an online service.

Part 1, lies and deceptions. Thanks to all the people that showed an interest in Shawn’s situation. Putting it out there finally gave some sort of results, meaning I now have a couple names to direct my anger towards, so the rest of the world is now safe. The thing is, the version I get from them isn’t really FROM them. It’s from an outside mutual friend, so sometimes explanations get lost in translation. There are so many things that don’t even make sens with Shawn’s side of the story. They built up a pretty good story that makes them “good guys” of course. If I take some and leave some from all versions, I still come up with 2 questions. 1. Why was Shawn beaten up so badly? and 2. Why are they hiding? Their story, in short, is that Shawn was at their party, left for a while and came back 10- 15 minutes later a totally different person, drunk, annoying and out of control so they “restrained” him until Security got there, and th

Here's another item from within my collection I'm going to write about, this one the Green Lantern Corps Annual #2 from 1986, which features a trio of short stories told by 3-4 different writers.The book begins with Steve Englehart's framework story featuring Sinestro in jail on Oa, which at the time was turned into a prison planet where intergalactic criminals could be kept. He's trying to make it seem as if he's got connections to some kind of lord out there, and that by telling some great stories, he can win a get-out-of-jail-free card. All the other convicts on his cell block are mighty annoyed by him, but along he goes and proceeds to tell a couple of short stories about occurances in the history of the GL Corps.We first start with one written by Mindy Newell, about a Han Solo-like soldier of fortune named Penn Maricc hanging out in one of these intergalactic bars who's approached by mysterious figures who ask of him to undertake the daring mission of rescuing an alien princ

*From an email I received from HSLDA..  The U.S. Marine Corps has joined the U.S. Army in actively pursuing homeschooled students. A recent statement from the Marine Corps Recruiting Command Public Affairs Chief makes it clear that homeschoolers are eligible to enlist in all military programs, the same as a graduate from public school. Furthermore, the Marine Corps has given homeschooled enlistees Tier I status in its internal ranking. This ensures that homeschoolers will receive any applicable enlistment bonuses. Home School Legal Defense Association remains committed to ensuring that homeschoolers are fully able to enlist in any military program, and salutes the United States Marine Corps for recognizing the achievements of homeschooled graduates.

The price of gas first spiked up to the $3.00 per gallon zone in the United States in September of 2005 following Hurricane Katrina. Even though the storm lost some of it's strength from it's peak before it made landfall, it still caused an enormous amount of damage. There were a number of reasons for the damage, several of the which can be traced back to the actions of the US Army Corps of Engineers.  Â» original news (via-hugg.com)

Marine Corps Museum - Go down to the end of the post to see the full slideshow. The one at the top only shows a max of 15 frames...Being a student of history and being fascinated with it, I decided to take a visit to the Marine Corps Museum in Quantico, Virginia yesterday afternoon. The museum for me was nothing short of breathtaking, as I just found it beautiful and filled with artifacts, information and displays that give you a comprehensive history of the United States Marine Corps. Much of the museum is interactive, with video, real-to-life exhibitions and simulation exercises, as well as state-of-the art technology to make you experience the life of a Marine. The museum features displays of the Marines during Word War I, World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam. As you walk through, you get a real to life feel about the respective era and how it relates to the Marine and American experience. Although, I have always had a deep respect for our countrymen and women who se

I found this item on the left-wing TPM Cafe site that says that people are comparing the Green Lantern Corps to the might of the US Military: As you may know, the Green Lantern Corps is a sort of interstellar peacekeeping force set up by the Guardians of Oa to maintain the peace and defend justice. It recruits members from all sorts of different species and equips them with the most powerful weapon in the universe, the power ring.[...] Consequently, the main criterion for becoming a Green Lantern is that you need to be a person capable of "overcoming fear" which allows you to unleash the ring's full capacities. It used to be the case that the rings wouldn't function against yellow objects, but this is now understood to be a consequence of the "Parallax fear anomaly" which, along with all the ring's other limits, can be overcome with sufficient willpower.Suffice it to say that I think all this makes an okay premise for a comic book. But a lot of people seem to think that American mil
