Elliot, please when you refer to those who are receipients of the Medal of Honor do not use the term winners. Winners are people who win the lottery.
My reason for asking is best summed up in the citations such as those at: http://www.history.army.mil/moh.html
Thank you
An old soldier.

greatdogs commented on the diary post Mother Nature to US Leaders: Your Neglect Is Worse than My Tornadoes by Scarecrow.
Perhaps the tornadoes coupled with the Fukushima disaster will wake people up. Two of my bils are right wingers who every time there is a heavy snow storm or the temps are unseasonably cold come up with the tried and untrue talking points about global warming. After letting them have their say, I correct them [...]

My wife used to wear a patch on her jacket that to me describes mother nature.
It read:
51% sweetheart
49% bitch
Dont push it.Maybe someday we will figure it out.

My guess the response from the White House is how no one could have seen this coming. Welcome to our latest quagmire.

greatdogs commented on the blog post Unemployment Drops to 8.9%; Obama Looking Stronger for 2012
The unemployment numbers may be dropping, but what kind of jobs are the people getting? How much are they making at their new job versus what they got at their old one?
The reason I ask is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP formerly know as food stamps) numbers came out the other day and there as an increase in the numbers. The increase in my state, MN was over 17% over last years number.

Thank you scarecrow for the analysis. I did not watch the SOTU last night as Mr Obama is no longer welcome in my home.
Good day all!

greatdogs commented on the blog post Pull Up a Chair
We got about a foot of snow Thursday into Friday the a few more inches yesterday into last night. The present temp is 2 above with the wind chill of -18. There are drifts that are waist deep in some areas of the yard/driveway. Got the tractor plugged in and the battery charger also going and am not sure if we will blow snow today or just wait til tomorrow when the wind goes down. The only problem then is the air temp will be -10 tomorrow morning.
The cows are staying in the barn and only venture outside to go to the bale feeder and then its right back to the barn. The chickens are hold up in the coop. We are southeast of Fargo about 65 miles and are lucky the worst of last nights stuff went west of us.
Happy New Year everyone!!!
