AYATOLLAH SEZ: GREAT SATAN LETS HOMOSEXUALS USE COMPUTERS!

Against my better Judgement I payed 800 bucks to fix my son's car last month and now it's dead again...Now I need to get him another one after just doling out 425 bucks this weekend on his sister's car. Sometimes it's easier to be a selfish heroin addict then a good Dad......

lohan got arrested again.

gahh just tell him to get a job.

Sweet I want leather pants. I used to have a leather miniskirt.

Is there really such a thing? Anytime I've ever seen anyone wear them I've thought "douchey".

He does have a job and he also goes to school. Same with my daughters.
My oldest girl is after a doctorate and my son who already has a BS in communications is back to school to get a degree in nursing leading to becoming a Physicians Assistant. Slackers they are not!

I wonder how much that shirt costs

I need a shower.

my english is rarely correct and it is the only language I know. I would think from your writing that English was yr native tongue. The pants do rock though. i thought of getting some cowboy boots cause I like how they look with mini skirts and cut off shorts. But then again where I live cowboy boots are the norm and are associated with slutty trailer trash so Im still thinkin.

more gear more gear more gear (music gear).

Another Friday night without plans. Oh joy.

My toe keeps itching.

my iphone is dying.

Last month I asked Robert McNamara, the secretary of defense during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, what he believed back in the 1960s was the status of technical locks on the Minuteman intercontinental missiles. These long-range nuclear-tipped missiles first came on line during the Cuban missile crisis and grew to a force of 1,000 during the McNamara years — the backbone of the U.S. strategic deterrent through the late 1960s. McNamara replied, in his trade-mark, assertively confident manner that he personally saw to it that these special locks (known to wonks as “Permissive Action Links”) were installed on the Minuteman force, and that he regarded them as essential to strict central control and preventing unauthorized launch.

When the history of the nuclear cold war is finally comprehensively written, this McNamara vignette will be one of a long litany of items pointing to the ignorance of presidents and defense secretaries and other nuclear security officials about the true state of nuclear affairs during their time in the saddle. What I then told McNamara about his vitally important locks elicited this response: “I am shocked, absolutely shocked and outraged. Who the hell authorized that?” What he had just learned from me was that the locks had been installed, but everyone knew the combination.

The Strategic Air Command (SAC) in Omaha quietly decided to set the “locks” to all zeros in order to circumvent this safeguard. During the early to mid-1970s, during my stint as a Minuteman launch officer, they still had not been changed. Our launch checklist in fact instructed us, the firing crew, to double-check the locking panel in our underground launch bunker to ensure that no digits other than zero had been inadvertently dialed into the panel. SAC remained far less concerned about unauthorized launches than about the potential of these safeguards to interfere with the implementation of wartime launch orders. And so the “secret unlock code” during the height of the nuclear crises of the Cold War remained constant at OOOOOOOO.

After leaving the Air Force in 1974, I pressed the service, initially by letters addressed to it and then through congressional intermediaries, to consider a range of terrorist scenarios in which these locks could serve as crucial barriers against the unauthorized seizure of launch control over Minuteman missiles. In 1977, I co-authored (with Garry Brewer) an article (click here to view) entitled “The Terrorist Threat to World Nuclear Programs” in which I laid out the case for taking this threat more seriously and suggesting remedial measures including, first and foremost, activating those McNamara locks that apparently he and presidents presumed had already been activated.

The locks were activated in 1977.

This materasse is hurting my back.

Sounds like our country all right. Thanks Space.

I just got ding-dong ditched!

I ended up watching two Skins Season 3 episodes. In a row.

Oh god, are you okay?

No.

The poking on Facebook is getting out of hand.

My lighter is out of fluid which means I must resort to using the stove.

Damn you, cigarettes.

My Playstation 3 is not able to read the video files on my external hard drive.

^ hyper first-world problem

every day is not pancake day. :(

is this where we talk about twitter?

yes. how you never have time for anything else but it, etc.

what's a twitter? isn't that the sound of old ladies talking?

I'm not sure if this is a first world problem but it took place there: I found a mouse floating (dead) in my dog's water bowl.

No brown sugar for my coffee in the staff restaurant. This is destroying my life.

I didn't manage to have my normal forty winks on the train to work this morning so i feel a bit tired. mind you i did do a fairly massive poo this morning so that brightened me up a bit.
