Funny, I don't see Oklahoma accomplishing much in that context, so in that sense, yes, California does rule.

Bush was in the TANG and no, I'm not talkin' about the drink the astronauts drink. Texas Air National Guard. Or are you talking about someone else with a father with the right connections?

Yeah, and they're doing so well now.
The mayor's a Democrat, there's a huge and active Muslim population, and Republicans don't even put candidates in some local races.

Actually, I WAS mistaken, but that's not what I meant. I was referring to Dan Quayle of the NATIONAL Guard.
Remember this gem of his?
"I do -- I do -- I do -- I do -- what any normal person would do at that age. You call home. You call home to mother and father and say, ``I'd like to get into the National Guard.''

From Hawaii, that place that has always been a pivotal role and an island in the Pacific that is right here.
I miss the guy.
Remember when being a dumb politician was more amusing than dangerous?

You guys have probably seen this already, but a friend just sent me this one that was new to me:
"If you don't stand for anything, you don't stand for anything!"

I have a "somewhat chronic" lung ailment (Common bronchitis!!!) which eventually kept me from making a mistake (At the age of 18 in 1988) and joining the military...

At my orientation the US Army Doctor in charge of medical records for new recruits browsed through my official medical records and permanently barred me from service due to my "illness" (Looking back, I am glad they had access to my files...I wanted to join mainly for money towards college, But my brother Geary told me about how the Army approaches the GI Bill, And it is nowhere near as simple as what is advertised on the TV ads)
