Kung fu
That was one of my good ones
Well what’s a few broken bones
When we all know its good clean fun
Skateboards
Ive almost made them respectable
You see I can’t always get through to you
So I go for your son – Joe Jackson "I’m the Man"
Wingnuttia goes bonkers:
Pete Hegseth is an alumnus of the Forest Lake Area High School and the founder of Vets for Freedom, which brings its National Heroes Tour to the Twin Cities today. Today’s schedule included bringing the tour to social studies students at the high school.
But the principal abrupty cancelled the event when "parents and others" called the school and objected. The Star Tribune story reporting the cancellation is ambiguously headlined and written to suggest that the scheduled event raised concerns that the event was political in nature, but it is evident that the "concerns" about politics were confined to accusations by the objectors and that the principal simply kowtowed to them. What a disgrace.
Because it’s really not "poltical" at all:
"We have not endorsed a presidential candidate. We’re not in the business of doing that." According to the Veterans for Freedom website, the national tour "is about supporting our troops, honoring their commitment and rallying the country to complete the missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Calling it a "mission" certainly takes the sting out of it for the potential cannon-fodder.
I’m assuming that the Veterans for Freedom paid a call at CPAC, and had great success. But, then again, if they can’t convince low-hanging fruit like Jason Mattera to sign up, hitting random high schools kind of reeks of Axe and desperation.
(Update):
Dan Riehl commences Operation Granite Counters against Steve Massey, the Islamoloving High School Principal.

When Reagan made sitting ducks out of US troops in the Middle East he pulled out promptly, using Grenada as political cover (30 Cuban construction workers dead, thems certified!)
Will Bush/McCain Inc. use an attack on Iran as cover for an eventually-hasty retreat from the Madhi Army?
You’ll notice Axe limits its outlandish claims to helping skinny guys get girls.
Getting kids to enlist in Operation SuperAwesome Total Freedom for Brown People and Cheap Gas is clearly beyond even the astonishing powers of body spray.
So it’s okay for a single parental objection to get a book about penguins removed from a library on the grounds it might turn students gay, but objecting to what amounts to a recruitment program for a highly controversial war on the grounds it might turn students, um, dead… That’s a few anti-American bad apples ruining it for everybody. In fact, it’s practically terrorism!
Gee, I wonder who they would endorse, if they were going to endorse a candidate. I’m thinking maybe McSenile.
My dad has refused to email me anymore after he sent me a link similar to one of these traveling death squad revues. He just doesn’t understand how I could not rally, as a good patriotic American should, behind this clusterfuck.
When are folks going to realize that just because our nation does something, that something is not always noble, legal or ethical?
Oh, and here’s what our young men and women should be doing, rather than dying in Bush’s fucked up war ….

HB, that totally made me grin. Somedays I just love the Intertoobz.
Uncle Jimbo sez:
Sounds non-partisan to me. What’s the problem?
New, from Axe: Eau du Rove — when that stubborn teenager really *has* to enlist.
“The non-profit, non-partisan group does talk about staying in Iraq, but Hegeseth said the current speech has been adjusted for public school students. He said it’s about sharing experience.”
Ok. I’ll bite. If it’s really about sharing, they have a few speakers who are against the war, right? Ok, how about one of the 100000 wounded as a speaker. Sharing the experience of inadequate medical care & morphine addiction after an RPG hit their un-armored vehicle?
Assholes.
