Potpourri

Sunday's leftovers
Meet Charles Williams (rollover),  henceforth known as Airborne Willy, or just Willy.  He's a Veteran for Obama, but unlike most servicemen who proselytize Democrats, Willy actually served in the Army,  from 1949 until 1974 when he retired as an E/7.  That's quite an array of medals old Willy is sporting, eh wot?  John Lilyea of  This Ain't Hell blog took the trouble to identify many of them.  I'm thinking Willy way have been on the other side of that  fence  John Kerry threw his medals over.  Anyway, if Obama's elected, Willy will prolly get the Medal of Honor, with cluster.

Oklahoma State took top rated Texas to the wire Saturday, losing by just 4.  For their effort  the pollsters dropped them two places in the polls (9 USA Today; 10 AP).  Merrily is armed, and on the rampage, I fear.  Oh, yeah.  Maryland is ranked 25.  USA-UAS-USA!  I see an Alabama-Terps showdown for the National Championship.


More    I was looking for Joe Biden jokes with little success. Then I found Associated Content, a joke outlet of sorts, offering an explanation.
Barack Obama's running mate, Senator Joe Biden of Delaware, has a lot going for him: He's intelligent, experienced, and articulate  Finding good Joe Biden jokes on the Internet is as tough as finding tofu in Sarah Palin's refrigerator. Comedians have shunned the Democratic veep candidate in favor of his intrinsically funnier rival, Sarah Palin.
*slaps head* Of course.  How silly of me. The braniac who (for starters) recalled, to a credulous Katie Couric, the drama of President Roosevelt going on national television to explain the 1929 stock market crash, has too much grav-e-tass to make fun of.  Thanks for clearing that up.


Finally, with a nod to Obama's economic plans, this is the only  wealth sharing

As Spanky said, I've learned not to take anybody's word on this stuff. Something is mentally wrong with Willie if he feels the need to wear a pseudo uniform with dozens of ribbons. I have no idea if Willie ever served, but even if he did for the period stated in your post he is wearing ribbons for stuff that happened long after he got out. The biggest shame is he has no one in his life that cares for him enough to let him know he looks like a complete clown. Or maybe the biggest shame is when you consider that your vote is worth exactly as much as that clown's vote.

My nephews used to love to shop at the local military surplus store. They would dress up like that to go outside and play "army".

But then they turned 10 and moved onto other activities.

I'm keeping my eye on the Terps this year...they're really kicking azz!
I know the "any given Saturday" thing is true, but TX deserves the #1 spot. The 'boys are coming along, but me thinks they've been rated a little high.

He may have been in the 82nd and earned some of those, but at least eight of those were not created until long after he left the service, and the precedence is badly screwed up. I guess he went back to Southwest Asia and Yugoslavia as a super secret opertive. Jumped in at night, yannow. He's a phoney.

It's funny. Sunday Oct 26th, in the Chicago Tribune they did a fantactic article about fake heros. The awards and citations some claimed in Who's Who that they didn't earn at all and all the lame-azz answers they gave when the Trib asked them about the awards.
But what is even funnier is the placement of the article. Facing the article on the opposite page, full page mind you,was an ad for military collectibles, including ribbons, medals, awards etc..
All I can say is "Only in Chicago".
