On the morning of December 24th, 1955, Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) Director of Operations Colonel (AF) Harry Shoup feared the worst when he heard the red phone suddenly ring to life.
THE red phone.
The red phone that is only to be used in top secret contingency reporting was ringing and no one had any idea why. Col. Shoup instantly grabbed up the phone, praying that the call didn’t mean that the Russians were invading the US (which was a pretty big fear back then). (more…)
My procrastination almost made me miss a concert tonight that I have been counting down the days until for over three months. I have been anxiously awaiting the Devil Wears Prada, All That Remains, and Story of the Year show since the day it was announced. Unfortunately, when I went to the Norva today to purchase my ticket I was informed that the show was sold out. I didn’t weep, but I considered it. After basically giving up on the idea of going, I thought of one last ditch effort to possibly get to the show…Craig’s List. (more…)
May you rest in peace you little shit head. From the first time I saw you until the last, you were a good friend. We had some very interesting moments at Pope. Good times, bad times, we were in that shit together. You and a few others are what made it suck so bad to leave that base, man. It’s such a fucking tragedy that you were taken away so young before you got to flex those SSgt stripes…I know you would’ve been a good NCO. I won’t sit here and pour my heart out on this page, but know this: you are missed.
One of your last nights at Pope and the last time I ever saw you…me and Williamson had a rough time taping you up …I miss you already, man. Don’t wait up, I’ll be along soon…
Didn’t really want to write a whole post on this, but I think it’s pretty awesome that Americans are starting to look beyond Democrats and Republicans as serious choices for President. Yes Obama, we do need a change and you or any of the other political front runners are not it!
What is this country coming to when flying the American flag is offending someone?
I was purusing Fox News this morning when I found this. If you don’t want to read the article, I’ll give you the short version. Evidently at an Oregonapartment complex, the father of a veteran was told by management that he couldn’t fly the American flag on his motorcycle because it might be offensive to some people and to take it down immediately lest he face eviction. Really? Evicted for flying the flag of his country? I have to ask, who the (more…)
I’m done…I can’t sit here and be part of an organization that is as hypocritical as the fucking Republican Party. So, as of today, I am officially announcing my political realignment from the Republican Party to that of an Independent. Both Democrats and Republicans have become empty shells of their former selves that share the same goals regurgitated under a different guise. For years I’ve tried to defend the actions of Republicans to anyone who doubted them. No more…
“Airman Parrott is now in the correctional custody of the U.S. Air Force, and will remain there until command and legal authorities determine the additional charges he will face as a result of his escape.
Airman Parrott, who was previously assigned to the 48th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, had served less than three months of his three-year sentence when he escaped. In addition to (more…)
Ok, ok, I think that by now all two of you who read our shit here knows how I feel about our current President and it occurred to me today that I have never said anything about our half-retarded Vice President.
This guy has said more dumb shit in the past several months than Al Gore said in the 8 years he played with Papa Clinton at the White House. I mean I know its human nature to occasionally say the wrong thing at the wrong time (read: little G.W. Bush), but damn…there seems to be no end to his overly stupid comments. (more…)
Memorial Day is a day that we step back and honor those who have fought and died in the service of their country. Since the days of Woodrow Wilson, the current President has laid commemorative wreaths on the memorials for our fallen brothers and sisters in arms. This past Memorial Day a group of about 60 liberal-minded dickhole professors thought it’d be nice to send a message to Obama giving reasons why he should not honor the soldiers that fought on the side of the Confederacy during the Civil War…why? (more…)
As I was perusing the Washington Times this morning, I came across this little gem. As a veteran myself, it pisses me off to no end that a fucking racist, America hating organization is again sticking its nose where it doesn’t belong.
Let me set this up for you in case you don’t want to read the article. There is a 7-foot cross standing in a desert in California and the ACLU says that it is offensive to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in battle because it honors Christianity and not any other religion. Want to know the best part? The vets of California are fighting to keep it. See the problem here? (more…)
This is kind of old news…well really old news becuase it happened in 2006, but it seems that in September of that year somone made a My Space account to find out what a 13 year old girl was saying about their daughter. Yup, an ADULT made an account to gain a young teenager‘s trust. The mother’s name is Lori Drew and the girl’s was Megan Meier. That’s right, I said was…she commited sucide because of all of this shit. (more…)
Steve and Chris started thingsthatpissusoff.com several years ago and was unfortunately shut down after only one year. MSF.com is an ongoing attempt to sort of "re-live" those days, but, at the same time, bring better writing and solid articles to the table. Feel free to comment on anything posted here because that's essentially what the site is here for. If you'd like to post your own articles to MSF.com, all you have to do is ask. Also, the ads shown on this site don't necessarily reflect MSF views or beliefs. They are semi-random and based on key words I think.
