It opens with these two paragraphs------------

Some days, politicians could use a drink. But lawmakers in Michigan may soon find it harder to get one. 

Hundreds of bar owners in the Great Lakes State plan to deprive lawmakers of their hospitality by banning them from their establishments in protest of the state's smoking ban.

Harper stirs controversy with military name change

This was up at the Washington Examiner.
Seems the lefties are a bit upset with the return to tradition.

Canadians were thrilled when Prince William and Kate traveled across the country on their first official trip as a married couple. They barely noticed when their pro-monarchy Conservative prime minister appointed Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II's husband, an honorary admiral on his 90th birthday.

But Prime Minister Stephen Harper's decision to restore the royal name to the Canadian armed forces and other recent moves to embrace the monarchy have raised hackles in this former British colony that has largely been indifferent to the fact that the queen remains the titular head of state.

The Canadian Forces names: A mark of respect....UPDATE

From Tuesday's Globe and Mail

Published Monday, Aug. 15, 2011 6:09PM EDT

This one was at Hookers and Booze!

The Conservative government's decision to restore the traditional designations of the Canadian Forces; the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) is a welcome move that recognizes a reality that has been long ignored by officialdom: The decades-long attempt to erase the historic designations, and unique identities, of the RCN, Canadian Army and RCAF was a failure.

Taking The Jewish Guillt Out of Disliking Obama..............by Dan Friedman

Short piece with an excellent link almost at the end.
This Jew did not vote for obama and will not next year. I can't stand him.

GO TELL THE SPARTANS

From Stormbringer comes this. A day late but an excellent read!


ON THIS DAY in 480 BC, Leonidas reaches Thermopylae with 300 Spartans and 700 Allies.
.............Thermopylae is one of the most famous battles of the ancient world, of course; it took place in northern Greece during the Persian Wars. The Greek forces, led by King Leonidas of Sparta, managed to hold out for three days against the forces of Persian king Xerxes I, said to have numbered "one million" but probably closer to 200,000. Still, the feat of the Spartans was remarkable. Eventually Leonidas released the other Greek forces and a small Spartan contingent remained behind to resist the advance. The Greeks were only defeated after a traitor betrayed a route by which the Persians were able to outflank them. Leonidas and the remaining members of his original 300 Spartans were killed to the last man............
