Anything with cats is awesome.

Too bad our genius of a Minister of Agriculture wants to transfers them all to another country, because it's more "moral and ethical" to do so than castrate stray cats.  :idiot2:

And I suppose he is also hoping to solve a food shortage elsewhere on the planet?  ;)  Meow!  ::)    >:D

There are hungry children in Thailand... :P
Jokes aside, I doubt he's planning to do all of this from some altruistic humanistic views (especially given his record and his party affiliation).

"Is that my Halloween candy?!?"

I have to tell the truth, I've trolled my nieces before on that. (Not that way, but on appearing to eat their gift candy.)

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Maybe we start off training the Iraqis on how to wear their helmets before we move on to more difficult concepts.  Like breathing.

When I deployed to Afghanistan I flew in with a major from my brigade staff. As we got on the C-17 I just kept noticing that her helmet looked funny but it took me a few minutes to figure out why. Then it hit me that not only had she put her helmet cover on backwards over her helmet, but she had also sewn her rank onto the wrong (back) side of the cover. Not quite as egregious as the above example, but still, it didn't instill me with great confidence in the soldiering skills of the staff, mostly because it indicated that she hadn't worn a helmet (been to the field) a single time over the past year of train-up.

^ Did you get to break the news to her?

Airborne Rifles

No. Being the good neighbor that I am,I chose to let her walk into the HQ of a unit that had been in combat for the past nine months while clearly demonstrating her true level of training and readiness.
