Gurkha Bravery

We've all heard of the legendary bravery of the Gurkha Soldiers, right?
Check THIS shit out. 40 to 1 odds, and he comes out the winner.
The translation comes across as a little strange, but the story is all there.


Bishnu Shrestha, a brave Gurkha soldier in Indian Army, defeated 40 train robbers while returning home after a voluntary retirement. The Indian army, is going to awarded Bishnu with Sourya Chakra, Bravery Award and Sarvottam Jeevan Raksha medals during the Indian Republic Day celebration on January 26.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
While in the train, Maurya Express from Ranchi to Gorakhpur, on September 2, 2010, 35 year-old Bishnu saved a girl about to be raped by the train robbers in front of her helpless parents. After looting the train, when the robbers started to strip a 18 year old girl in front of him, he couldn’t contain his calmness. He took out his khukari and took on the a group of 40 robbers, alone. In the fight, he killed three of dacoits and injured eight others. Remaining dacoits fled the scene to save their lives.
The police arrested the eight injured dacoits and recovered Rs. 400,000 in cash, 40 gold necklaces, 200 cell phones, 40 laptops and other items left by the robbers while fleeing the train.

In recognition to his bravery, his regiment has given Bishnu a cash reward of Rs. 50,000 and it has also terminated his voluntary retirement, so that he could get a customary promotion after he receives the medals. In addition to that, he will also receive a cash rewards from the government, special discounts in international air tickets, and discounts in Indian railways train tickets.

Great orator, my Okie ass.

I think of this picture of Wingnut and his teleprompters in a 6th grade classroom everytime I hear somebody say what a great orator he is.

He's so fucking stupid he can't even dress himself properly.

Posting updates

So here's the deal:
I've decided to pre-load a few posts here to see how it works out.
I've already got it done so that several times tomorrow (Monday) a new post will pop up. That way, when you visit here to link to another site on my sidebar, maybe you'll get an unexpected grin.
No, I don't remember what time the updates will come, and yes, I hope to get feedback from you so I'll know if it's a waste of time.
Why did I do it? I don't know. But I hope it pays off for y'all.
Fuck Obama.

Eat your hearts out

Well, it got all the way up to 68 degrees here in Central California. So fucking warm and sunny that I was wandering around in the backyard in my bibs without a shirt OR shoes. Had to wear my glasses though to dodge CharlieGodammits' land mines.
If this shit keeps up it won't be too much longer before I'm having to put off doing yardwork again.

Commenters, keep your profanity and death threats down to a low roar, please.

First day of school in Pakistan. Or France. Or Britain.

Look! Yolo sent me Bacon Flowers!

Thanks, Sweetie.
You make my heart go pitter-patter.

Another "Aw, Fuck" moment in time

Happy Birthday, Mr. President!

A few quotes:
 
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves.

The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

And last but not least, my favorite:
My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes.

No ma'am, nothing at all, ma'am.

Vang Pao family decries Arlington burial denial

FRESNO, Calif. -- The family of former Laotian general and Hmong leader Vang Pao says it is "disgraceful" that the U.S. Army has denied a request that the U.S. ally in the Vietnam War be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
In a statement released Saturday, the second day of a six-day funeral in Fresno for Pao, the family said the denial is a lesson in how the Obama administration honors America's allies.
Two California congressmen submitted the request shortly after he died at 81 on Jan. 6, saying Pao should be buried alongside the American soldiers he fought with in Laos.

Vang Pao in Laos, 1961

For those not familiar with General Vang Pao, his covert army consisting of Hmong and Lao tribesmen was recruited by the CIA to fight the North Vietnamese Army in Laos.
At the wars' end, he was responsible for saving his army and their families by pressuring the US to keep its' promises by allowing them to relocate to the US.
After his immigration, Vang Pao continued his efforts against the communists as evidenced by his arrest a few years ago by his former allies for conspiring to buy weapons to continue his fight.
The man was more a combat soldier than 90% of the American officers that served in Vietnam and fully deserves a burial in Arlington for his service to the United States government.
For more information on him, please google his name.
I had the privilege of meeting the man a few years ago at a Hmong clebration. He still was a soldier even then.
