Into The Mystic
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic
Come on girl...

MARSOC Marine Awarded Silver Star
I Marine Expeditionary Force
Story and Photo by Lance Cpl Joshua Young
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - A staff sergeant from Bismarck, N.D., received the Silver Star for leading Marines and Afghans into an attack under intense fire to overcome the enemy.
Col. Steven J. Grass, the commanding officer of Marine Special Operations Regiment, presented the military’s third highest award to Sgt. Andrew K. Thompson, a critical skills operator with 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion, during a ceremony at Camp Pendleton, Calif., March 12.
Thompson, who was an element leader with Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, Company A, led his team and a company of the Afghan National Army in an operation to clear a village in the Farah province of Afghanistan, according to the award’s citation. During the operation, the unit came under heavy fire. Thompson returned fire, killing and wounding several enemies and set up his team in defensive positions.
Thompson resupplied his formation twice while under fire from multiple directions. He called in air support and coordinated fires from attack helicopters and jets to break the enemy’s defense. Thompson’s example to the ANA soldiers allowed him to lead them into the attack and defeat the enemy.

The Chevrolet Corvette (C1) is the first generation of the sports car by the Chevrolet division of General Motors introduced late in the 1953 model year and produced through 1962. It is commonly referred to as the "solid-axle" generation, as the independent rear suspension didn't appear until the 1963 Sting Ray. The Corvette was rushed into production for its debut model year to capitalize on the enthusiastic public reaction to the concept vehicle, but expectations for the new model were largely unfulfilled.[3] Reviews were mixed and sales fell far short of expectations through the car's early years. The program was nearly canceled, but Chevrolet would ultimately stay the course and Harley Earl and company would transform the Corvette into a true world-class sports car.

Happy K9 Veteran"s Day
Happy K9 Veteran's Day! March 13, 1942 is the official birthday of the United S...tates K9 Corps. They served to save, and they deserve to be remembered.
BOALSBURG — Blek, a German shepherd working for the Air Force, was wounded by an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan in 2010 and lost his hearing.
Cairo, a Belgian Malinois, was part of the mission that tracked down and killed Osama bin Laden
Drak, another Belgian Malinois, was injured by a suicide bomber in southern Afghanistan in September.
Those canines are known as military working dogs, and local advocates say dogs like them who work in the military and government service should be recognized with a K-9 version of Veterans Day.

SCOAMF The Movie
via IMAO
So there’s going to be this big documentary of the Obama presidency. You’d think it would be pretty cool — like one of those big disaster films like the movie 2012. But apparently it’s going to be a campaign tool for the Obama campaign, which means it will be about the Obama presidency but they’ll somehow portray all he’s done as good. So I’m not sure if it’s a documentary or science fiction.

The TEA Party
Why they dislike us so much
We're ordinary everyday patriotic Americans.
We served our country Faithfully and expect the same from our government.
We work hard everyday to raise our families.
We ask nothing of benefits or entitlements except where they are properly earned.
We expect to keep a fair portion of our own income each month.
We're predominantly Christian and support Israel against the medieval muslim hoarde.
We don't believe in Man Made Anthropogenic Global Warming.
We know that spending money like a crack addled chimp in Vegas is not an investment.
We ask uncomfortable questions at times and expect a proper answer.
We can make a pretty fair shot at 100 yards or so. Closer in is better though.
We know the Media cannot be trusted with the time of day.
We understand Public Sector Unions are a menace to the US tax payer.
We don't give a rats ass what the UN thinks of us.
We know the difference between a terrorist and a regular flag waving American citizen.
We depend on no one but ourselves and thank no one for the priviledge.
Also ... Please do not assume we're racist simply because we don't like you very much.
You know what else they dislike about us ...
They know if we're left alone we'll be fine until it's cool to be American again.
AND ... This is what makes their heads EXPLODE.
They know we will not be governed by a gang of halfassed ignorant elitist chuckleheads in Washington.
Goodbye Andrew. We'll take it from here.

Nice Rides
"Roadmaster" -- what a wonderful name for a car! It had emerged during 1936 and would last until it was foolishly removed for 1959. It was the perfect term for the top of the Buick line, a car bordering on Cadillac price territory, preferred transport for the up-and-coming professional -- the doctor, the lawyer, and anybody else who could not quite afford a Caddy.
Buick catered to this clientele with flashy styling-far and away the flashiest of the GM divisions-plus luxury and a host of novel design ideas: the famous pop-art grille, the gun-sight hood ornament, the hardtop convertible, the sweepspear, and the porthole. The latter three all arrived in 1949, when Buick sales correspondingly increased by 50 percent, and then doubled in 1950. In that long-lost halcyon era, this was the kind of car America wanted --and bought.
At a time when the annual model change was an act of faith, Buick chief designer Ned Nickles responded in the ordained manner by adding chrome, and the early-Fifties Buicks were not as purely beautiful as Ned's '49, the first all-new postwar design. The buck-tooth grille extended down over the bumper in 1950, but this was too strange even for Buickfolk (but much coveted today), and promptly receded in 1951.
Every account of Buick in those days invariably mentions the origin of the porthole, which -- variously bent, squeezed, elongated, wiped out, and restored again -- has been part of the Buick styling tradition since '49. It was part of that design lexicon, which took inspiration from the wonderful new jot aircraft (the basic Buick shape had evolved from the propeller-driven Lockheed P-38), along with the rounded "fuselage" of car body sides, the big scoop grilles, and the aileron-like tailfins. (Buick's first "fins" came in 1952, well ahead of Virgil Exner and Chrysler.) When Nickles whimsically mounted little colored lights inside the portholes of his own Roadmaster, wired through the distributor to flash in firing order, Flint managers stared at it wide-eyed in open admiration; the wonder is that they didn't make it standard.
