I don't talk about my Dad much. Once I turned 13 something changed and we kind of became enemies at times. There were good times when he told me stories, but they were mostly war stories because that was so much of his life and if even half of what he said was true he was not a guy to piss off in a fight.I don't talk about my Dad much.

Every Memorial Day we attempt to get closer to peace on earth, but alas, we are usually just winding down in one place, while watching another powder keg get closer and closer to an open fire. WHACKO-TV salutes the men and women of our armed forces. Someday, we just might have a country that is not in a war and we can say the soldier is a thing of the past, but for now, we are all US Soldiers. We all support our troops. I am the US Soldier.Every Memorial Day we attempt to get closer to peace on earth, but alas, we are... more

The University of Colorado has been aggressively pursuing veterans of this nation's two recent wars. Using the full power of the state, University of Colorado has been garnishing the tax returns of those they decide to target for over a decade, even in cases where said veterans were never students of the school.
It's time to take a stand against a state government drunk with power. It is not okay to steal money from students, veterans or otherwise. We must join together to make it clear that resolving the budgetary shortcomings of the state is not the onus of honorable citizens or guest students.

After over ten years of war, millions of dollars spent and countless lives lost the war in Afghanistan has run it's course. And by that I mean gone exactly as every other conflict in Afghanistan has for the last five hundred years. Although initially the motivation for going there may have been completely valid with the main mission of catching or killing Osama Bin-Laden being the top priority now that that has been achieved it is time to bring the troops home. The recent killing spree by a soldier who had served several tours of duty in Iraq and who for some reason after suffering a traumatic brain injury was still sent to Afghanistan and the burning of the Quaran's are more than just symptoms of Mission Fatigue they are signs that it is time to get out before we find ourselves further entrenched in a war that no longer has a true purpose. There is a reason Afghanistan is considered The Graveyard of Empires.After over ten years of war, millions of dollars spent and countless lives lost the... more

New enlistees are exposed to an imposing new culture as they enter the military. For decades, the Gideons have been treating them to a good Christian introduction. Good for the Gideons for taking care of their people. For the first time, enlistees will see that it’s ok if you’re not Christian. Humanist enlistees now have access to “Living Well Through Secular Humanism,” a publication of the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers introducing humanism as a positive, science-based, and ethical life stance for nontheists.

Fox News contributor Liz Trotta on Monday suggested women serving alongside male service members should expect to be raped and complained about the money spent on women who are “now being raped too much.”
Trotta appeared on Fox to discuss new Department of Defense rules allowing women to serve in more than 14,000 jobs that had been off-limits to female soldiers. They still cannot join infantry, armor or special forces units, however. “But we have women once more, the feminist, going, wanting to be warriors and victims at the same time,” she said.
“Defense Secretary Leon Panetta commented on a new Pentagon report on sexual abuse in the military,” Trotta added. “I think they have actually discovered there is a difference between men and women. And the sexual abuse report says that there has been, since 2006, a 64% increase in violent sexual assaults. Now, what did they expect? These people are in close contact, the whole airing of this issue has never been done by Congress, it’s strictly been a question of pressure from the feminist.”
She then noted that the budget of the Defense Department’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office increased from $5 million in 2005 to more than $23 million in 2010.
“So, you have this whole bureaucracy upon bureaucracy being built up with all kinds of levels of people to support women in the military who are now being raped too much,” Trotta remarked.
“Well, many would say that they need to be protected, and there are these sexual programs, abuse programs, are necessary,” co-anchor Eric Shawn interjected, but to no avail.
“That’s funny, I thought the mission of the Army, and the Navy, and four services was to defend and protect us, not the people who were fighting the war,” Trotta responded.

ARETHA FRANKLIN SANG “I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU” for the happy couple & their 670 guests, telling reporters, “Yes, I do,” believe marriage equality should be legalized nationally at Sunday night's mega wedding & reception for Bill White & Bryan Eure at NYC's world-famous Four Seasons restaurant.
White's the former head of the USS Intrepid Museum & was once-thought to be Obama’s next Secretary of the Navy. “Red, white & blue spotlights roved the building’s facade. Guests walked up one of 3 carpets—red, white or blue—flanked by 40 uniformed members of a Naval ROTC Honor Guard,” &, entering the restaurant, were greeted with songs by the NYC Gay Men’s Chorus.
Pronouncing the couple’s vows was Prop 8 lawsuit challenge co-counsel David Boies before former NY Gov. Patterson, former NYC Mayor David Dinkins, Barbara Walters, music mogul Clive Davis, astronaut Buzz Aldrin, & Oprah’s Best Gal Pal Gayle King.
White explained to reporters from “The New York Times,” “The Wall Street Journal,” & even “Women’s Wear Daily” that they meant the event to be as much a political statement as a personal celebration.
“We have each other; that’s the blessing we have from above,” Mr. White said. “There are a lot of people who can’t get married who love each other dearly, and we hope people see it’s not such a bad thing and it’s not hurting anybody.”

Norfolk— The father of a young woman killed in what prosecutors called a drunk-driving crash attacked the defense attorney outside court on Tuesday, moments after the jury acquitted the driver of causing two deaths and severely hurting a third passenger.
Simon Kok, a retired New York detective and father of 22-year-old Lauren Kok, charged at defense attorney Andrew Sacks outside of Norfolk Circuit Court. Kok was restrained by a police officer who had testified in the trial, but not before Kok knocked over Sacks' file boxes an kicked the attorney's luggage cart.
The confrontation came as NewsChannel 3 was interviewing the defense attorney about the verdict. Kok, a soft-spoken man from Staten Island, was angered in part because of Sacks' suggestions to the jury about his daughter. Sacks said that Lauren Kok - the only person sober in the car - might have engaged in some kind of "sexual shenanigans" in the back seat. That, according to Sacks, was part of a series of distractions that contributed to the crash. The lawyer based that on a paramedic who said he found Lauren outside the crashed car without her pants.
Special Prosecutor B. Thomas Reed said Lauren's pants probably ripped as bystanders pulled her from the crumpled and burning wreckage. He told the jury the defense speculations were "absurd." A surviving passenger, Ryan Petrosky, testified none of the passengers did anything to distract Freeman. The crash killed Lauren Kok and Cameron Richardson. Rear-seat passengers Ryan Petrosky and Thomas Jaskel survived, but Jaskel, a former Navy helicopter pilot, is paralyzed and severely brain damaged. Richard B. Freeman III had been charged with aggravated involuntary manslaughter and maiming, but the jury declared him not guilty on all charges.
None of the four passengers in the car knew the driver. The four accepted a ride from Freeman when they could not reach a cab company at closing time at the Red Dog Saloon on Colley Avenue in July, 2009. According to testimony, the four thought Freeman was sober, but a hospital blood test after the crash showed he was among the most intoxicated. A toxicologist said his blood-alcohol concentration was at least 0.10, over the state's legal limit of 0.08.
