An historic day…

Or so Defense Secretary Leon Panetta  called Tuesday,  as Don’t Ask Don’t Tell officially ended.  Of course,  the military report  was designed to reach the conclusion His Oneness wanted,  not to accurately report anything.

Now we have a  new magazine  devoted to gays and lesbians in the military.   Next,  we can expect a spate of lawsuits by gays and lesbians asserting that the only reason they were passed over for promotion,  or not given a plum assignment,  was their sexual preferences.  The British Army has already suffered this,  and it has happened in the American civilian workplace,  so don’t tell yourself I’m wrong.

There are a number of gays in the military.  Most of them do not blab about their personal sexuality,  which is a good model for all of us to follow.   The ones who got kicked out because of DADT did nothing more than prove that their sexual preference was, if not the most important thing in their lives, more important than their contract with the country.   And yes, it will affect combat readiness.

Obama’s Monday presser

I was dodging rain and happened to watch most of Obama’s presser on his economic plans.  The cut-off line for the middle class  is now   “approximately $150,000”.

He is still using the one-president-at-a-time dodge on the Middle East instead of simply saying he supports the Bush Administration’s position.  If I were an Israeli, I’d be damned nervous.

And the Obama speaking style so much admired when backed by  a teleprompter was again not in evidence, especially when he took a couple of questions.

His Oneness preaches economic gloom and doom so we will swallow the socialism pill, while insulating himself from the consequences of his mistakes a bit longer.   Does he imagine we will never tire of his endless pessimism?
