Midweek open thread

...because even living my lifestyle, Tuesday is no longer the weekend.

Heck, given the recent flurry of activity I have had here, maybe Sunday wasn't the weekend either. *sheesh*

Have fun and play nice. The usual rules apply.

My favorite *no kidding?!?* item of the week:

The Mindset List

...and no, it didn't surprise me. I have had to deal with this sort of historical dissonance as part of daily work.

For example: US Naval Academy graduates are not, and for some time have not, been required to learn Celestial Navigation. Makes it tough to teach principles of survival navigation if you first have to teach the association of time-difference and latitude, for example...

To be expected. Can't wait for the rest to get on the bandwagon of "Bush wants to start another war."

Some Democrats also are getting white flags made.

I'd say it is shameful to see what the proud Democratic Party has become, but for there being *a bit* of the same shame to wave around on the Republican side.

Let's just leave it as 'the late Henry M. Jackson wouldn't give the time of day to this bunch of losers who call themselves Democrats these days'.
