My latest attempt to get Wyoming

As we approach the end of the year, Wyoming remains the lone holdout state to send a visitor to www.morganobrien.com. While the nuclear surety beat really doesn't generate hits, FE Warren's latest contribution to the Air Force's dismal nuclear 2008 gives me no choice but to hope that someone from the base finds this post and clicks on it. Here's hoping (not only that I get a visit from Wyoming, but that the Air Force figures out how to maintain our arsenal. I mean, who was in charge of this? Oh, right).

The 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo., will fail its Nuclear Surety Inspection that is set to end Wednesday because its maintenance group did not properly document tests on its missiles, an Air Force official said.

The 90th will be the second nuclear missile wing and at least the fifth nuclear unit known to fail its NSI this year. (link)

PS- Kudos to Michael Hoffman of the Air Force Times whose work on this issue would be Pulitzer-worthy if only he was tackling important issues...like the decline of newspapers.


Baldwin!
I love reading a Drudge headline announcing, "PTA Vice President Busted With 13-Year-Old In Back Of Fogged Up Car...," clicking the link and finding that it happened in my own backyard.

God Bless the South Shore of Nassau County, from Buttafucco to this lady, you never let me down!

I mean, come on...


Bad name, cute kid

Obviously the news loves this story, but this is one of those times where they should drop all objectivity. I'm all for the First Amendment, but you can't expect ShopRite to make this cake, and frankly I'm shocked that WalMart did.

The kid is adorable, though.

Supermarket defends itself over Adolf Hitler cake
Supermarket Refuses To Personalize Cake For Child Named ‘Adolf Hitler’

EASTON, Pa. (AP) - A supermarket is defending itself for refusing to a write out 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell's name on his birthday cake. Deborah Campbell, 25, of nearby Hunterdon County, N.J., said she phoned in her order last week to the Greenwich ShopRite. When she told the bakery department she wanted her son's name spelled out, she was told to talk to a supervisor, who denied the request.

Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman, said the store denied similar requests from the Campbells the last two years, including a request for a swastika.

As always,
