Howdy folks! This is an article that I wrote back in 2012 when I was posting at another website. It came to mind last Friday when we were having a discussion in The Evening Blues of an article about certain delusional congressmen who would like to add an additional branch to the military services - the Space Corps. Space is currently the purview of the Air Force.

As you will see in the article that I am posting here in deference to those who would prefer not to give Kos' House of Hillarity a click, space has been on the minds of those infected with military madness for quite a while, as they intend it to be the launch pad for planetary full spectrum dominance.

The United States and Russia brokered a ceasefire in southern Syria a few days ago and it appears to be holding.
This is good news for almost everyone. Almost everyone.

The stock market has been on an incredible run, gaining $4 Trillion just since the election.
So stocks are rising because every Tom, Dick, and Harry has been buying equities, right?
Wrong.

I wrote a diary with a very similar title back in September of 2015 about government data collection agencies not counting transgender citizens.

It should not be a surprise that the Trump administration wants to double down on that trend. If they don't count us, they can pretend we don't exist.

It appears that “I mean, have you seen the other guys?” wasn't the final product.
It's been eight months since that catastrophic election defeat and the Dems, just like the Hillary campaign, still don't stand for something.

Subtitle: the meaning of life

Once upon a time (now), there were (are) two girls. The girls are sisters. We shall call them Girl 1 and Girl A, G1 and GA respectively. Looking through the Generation scope, it is apparent that both G1 and GA must be somebody's daughters. Regressing backward one generation, it is apparent that G1 and GA are somebody's granddaughters. Etc.

...after I finished helping build it.

To add insult to injury, Azazello shoved me toward the car repeatedly, with the butt of his rifle, and loaded me into the car.

“Are You an American, or Are You Not?”

Yvette Cormier sued Planet Fitness of Midland back in February of 2015 after she encountered a transgender woman in the common area of the women's locker room.

The concept of a “capitalist” first appeared in Holland in the early 1600’s, was developed in France during the 1700’s, and appeared in England in 1792. The first use of the term “capitalism” was by Louis Blanc in 1850, by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon in 1861, and established by Karl Marx in 1867. In all cases and especially with Marx, “capitalism” referred to a method of production.
