Pajama Guys, 20; High-Paid Media Poobahs, Nil[T]he weekend that 1st Lt. Bush was supposedly ordered to report for his physical, May 13-14, 1972, the Ellington Air Guard Base was closed. It was Mother's Day. Except for emergencies, Air Guard units never drilled on Mother's Day; the divorce lawyers would be waiting at the gate... And he says a survey of the pay records demonstrate this fact. If you were playing your ten-year-old nephew in basketball, this would be the point at which you deliberately began missing shots and "accidentally" rebounding his shots into the basket in order to let the kid come within a respectable distance of winning. But it's not b-ball against a ten year old, so keep piling on the points. Cry. posted by Ace at 02:03 AM
CommentsBut Ace, if our side keeps piling on, the other "coaches" will accuse us of "running up the score" in an unseemly fashion, and then where would we be in the polls? I mean, you want the Digital Brownshirts to make a serious run at the national champoinship, don't you? Posted by: Sean M. on January 19, 2005 04:28 AM
How about if you were playing basketball against your 107 year old senile uncle? Sorry, that's no way to talk about Dan Rather. Posted by: Beck on January 19, 2005 07:22 AM
What a great catch! Yet another small, seemingly insignificant factoid that absolutely destroys the credibility of so many people... Posted by: lauraw on January 19, 2005 09:38 AM
Wasn't this Ellington Air Force Base? Posted by: Donnah on January 19, 2005 10:31 AM
Military installations don't shut down for any holiday. They go on skeleton for Federal holidays and branch birthdays. They're 24/7 operations. Posted by: Donnah on January 19, 2005 06:25 PM
Donnah, they don't shut down but under the circumstances it seems very unlikely the doctor who would have supervise the tests would be available. Even if the physician was on duty, it's unlikely a CO would put a reservist in the position of blowing off Mother's Day. Posted by: Eric Pobirs on January 20, 2005 09:36 AM
Eric, I'm sorry, but I can't see this one working. There's one clinic on base for all the units to use. If you're not deathly ill and showing up for sick call, you get an appointment and you go. Posted by: Donnah on January 20, 2005 03:42 PM
Donnah, You may be right about not shutting down completely, but there are no payments made for that weekend; all the payments are made for the following weekend. Suggesting that the base was more or less closed for anything except the most necessary business. Posted by: ace on January 20, 2005 04:03 PM
It was a Base. There were lots of different units there. You're talking about payments for a single unit only. Service members always have access to health care. Not even for Christmas or the Fourth of July, guys. And those are Federal. Posted by: Donnah on January 20, 2005 04:53 PM

But here's the Illinois gerrymander he supports.

ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents. Erika Kirk was present.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this. He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again. You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations. That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite thanks to weft-cut loop.
