No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Jack Bauer Appreciation Day – 5/9/2007

by @ 12:32. Filed under Miscellaneous.

I don’t have time to fully-celebrate Jack Bauer Appreciation Day, dammit. However, I give you my word that I will not eat Chinese food today, and that if you join me in appreciating the alpha ass-kicker that is Jack Bauer, he will not go kick your ass as part of Season 7.

(H/T – Phel, who wishes it would work for her)

This little gem comes to us out of the mouth of Barak Hussein Obama explaining away his “10,000 dead” line –

“There are going to be times when I get tired,” he said. “There are going to be times when I get weary. There are going to be times when I make mistakes.”

Every Pubbie wishes that it would work for them. Unfortunately, unless you’ve got the “D” after your name and you have a natural tan or a last name of “Clinton” or “Kennedy”, it doesn’t.

Vent vs. the McGee/Jacksons

Guess who wins.

Only one little problem with today’s Vent; Michelle and Bryan forgot to give credit to Patrick at Badger Blogger for being all over the two jokers. Just in case you came here from HotAir and somehow missed my comment there, go over and give him some props.

Some serious Bravo Zulo outgoing

From JSOnline’s DayWatch –

The Wisconsin Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (link to the national organization added) said Wednesday that eight organizations have earned its Above and Beyond awards for supporting their employees serving in the guard and reserve (sic).

The ESGR’s highest state-level award, the Pro Patria Award, went to West Salem Middle School and the University of Wisconsin – Whitewater. Representatives from the school received honors last month at a banquet in Green Lake, along with six others honorees:

* The Oshkosh Elks Club

* Deluxe Media Services of Pleasant Prairie

* Frito Lay Inc. of Beloit

* Oshkosh Truck Co.

* Voith Paper Rolls Central

* Weather Central

“Now more than ever it’s important to have employers backing our Reserve component members,” Michael Smith, executive director of the Wisconsin ESGR, said in a statement. “It’s been more than five years since 9-11, and we are seeing (our) citizen Soldiers and Airmen called up for second and third overseas deployments.”…

Again, Bravo Zulo to all 8 employers for stepping up and supporting those in the Guard and Reserve, as well as every other employer that does so.
