Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael A. Monsoor, USN. Heard the name? Wouldn't surprise me if you haven't.

If I were not also a member of military.com, I probably wouldn't either except that I happened to catch a short blurb about Pres Bush awarding the Medal of Honor to him, posthumously, on the news. Took 'em all of 15 seconds to report it. Didn't tell us why a Navy SEAL was being awarded the nation's highest honor, or that he had previously been awarded the Bronze Star for valor. No mention… Continue

Two Democrat campaign volunteers are in a graveyard getting names off headstones.

1st guy sez, "Did you get the name off that real tall one in the back?"

2nd guy sez, "Naw, it was too old & faded."

1st guy sez, "Well, go back & look at it again."

2nd guy sez , "I told you it was too faded to read."

1st guy sez, " You go back & get that name, dammit"

2nd guy sez, " I can't read it. Besides, we musta got a hundred names, that oughta be enough."

1st… Continue

Who'da thunk it? I gotta tip my hat to Hillary Clinton for this (see Fox News for this 1):

After Gloria Steinem made some very disparaging & disgusting remarks about John McCain's POW experience while endorsing the "Queen Bee", Hillary & her campaign disassociated herself from those remarks quickly & in a big way.

I gotta hand it to her, she showed some class & a certain amount of maturity here.

Good to see in the middle of a political campaign, ain't it?

So,… Continue

Well folks, it's happened again: volunteer firefighters busted for arson. Just what we need, huh?

Check www.kcbd.com for news coverage. All quotes I use here are from "Levelland & Hockley News-Press" for which I can find no web site, sorry.

Hockley County, Tx Sherriff's Deputies arrested 2 men late Sunday Night (2/24/08) for a string of 8 suspicious fires dating back to December '07, including a cotton module fire on Jan 18.

Arrested were: Jeremy Solis, 17 & Anthony… Continue

Thought I'd regale u with one of my most frightening moments as a fireman tonight.

Had to have been about '88 or '89, just before I made Capt., we got called out on a 2swfd 5 miles N of Boyd. I was on the 2nd unit in, Eng 1201. 2 others & myself were detailed to open the roof, so, with SCBA on we grabbed the necessaries (extension ladder, axes, hose, roof ladder), laddered up & onto the roof. We didn't have a chainsaw back then, so we commenced to chop away @ the roof. Now, this… Continue

I haven't told u guys much about my Fire/EMS career or the dept's I was on.

So.......... The Boyd, Tx VFD that I belonged to (in my humble opinion) is one of the best small FD's in Texas. At the time I was there about half the membership were paid FF's, police officers or medics elsewhere. The majority were certified at least EMT-B, I don't remember the exact number but, several were SFFMA (State Firemen's & Fire Marshalls Assoc) certified Vol FF.

The Dept consisted of a roster of… Continue

Dammit, people!! I'm gonna quit choosin' political candidates, so far I seem to put the kiss of death on 'em... 1st it was Fred Thompson, he crashed & burned, now Mit Romney bows out!! SHEE-IT!! Huckabee? Riiiight, couldn't win dogcatcher.

I shoulda gone with John McCain, then my GOP wouldn't be in this mess!

What're my chances with Hillary or Obama? Ya think maybe I could .....Never mind. With my luck, one of 'em would win.
