Let me guess; Navy, right? They made you change your own sheets down there? The cable only had 500 channels?

Yes sir. Changed my own sheets, satellite was spotty so we barely got half of the MLB games (mostly Braves & Cubs) and we ran out of ice cream. IN JULY!

Worse than water boarding!

You would have had your ice cream in July if you had thrown your feces at the cooks.

When in Gitmo...

"We can call the grand old oak whatever we wish, but our weak incantations of imagination remain unheard, unanswered"

I stood still and was a tree amid the wood,
Knowing the truth of things unseen before;
Of Daphne and the laurel bow
And that god-feasting couple old

Ahem.

Bama fans get defensive when you mention oak trees.

Dipwad,

That first line in his post, the one with the oak tree, he was quoting me.

Correct.

A month ago Missouri's Auditor committed suicide. Now one of his top aides has done the same. WTF is going on?

A second (forthcoming) Clinton administration is triggering a similar wave of suspicious suicides that the first one did.

PURELY coincidental.

I've got two words to say:

Vince.

Foster.

heh at Vince Foster.

And there is no denying that Missouri borders Arkansas. Therefore

add 2 more to the Clinton Body Count

The secret Mena Arkansas airfield = Benghazi.

Houma Abedin = Arkansas State Troopers.

Clinton Global Initiative = Cattle Futures.

That is part of the GOP's problem:

At least 20 million voters in 2016 were born after Foster died. Most in that group were in diapers during the Lewinski scandal. Generational differences are going to kick Conservatives in the butt at the polls.

VERY interesting how the AR governor mentions that his son signed the petition asking him to veto the Religious Freedom Act. He's smartly riding the fence now and buying time (which I interpret as him evaluating whether or not he wants to run for anything else and how will his stance on the RFA affect his chances).

Arkansas governor won't sign current religious freedom bill

Washington (CNN)Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson says he does not plan to sign the religious freedom bill that sits on his desk right now, instead asking state lawmakers to make changes so the bill mirrors federal law.

The first-term Republican governor said he wants his state "to be known as a state that does not discriminate but understands tolerance."

His decision comes in the wake of an uproar in Indiana, where Gov. Mike Pence has faced pressure from businesses, sports associations like the NCAA and popular culture figures to backtrack on a similar religious freedom law he signed last week. In Arkansas, it's been Walmart heaping apply the most pressure.

Hutchinson asked lawmakers to recall the law that the Arkansas House had given final approval on Tuesday -- or to send him follow-up legislation that makes the changes he requested.

Meanwhile, Hutchinson said, he's considering signing an executive order that bars discrimination among the state's workforce.

"The issue has become divisive because our nation remains split on how to balance the diversity of our culture with the traditions and firmly held religious convictions," Hutchinson said. "It has divided families, and there is clearly a generational gap on this issue."

READ: Who is Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson?

Case in point, Hutchinson said: His son Seth signed a petition asking him to veto the bill -- and also gave his father permission to tell reporters he'd done so.

Hutchinson said he supports Arkansas adding a religious freedom law to its books -- but he wants it to directly mirror the federal version that President Bill Clinton signed into law in 1993.
