I was attacked by a wild dog today.

Well, actually a puppy. Mason, as he was named by the Navy personnel, lies in wait for me whenever I exit my office. Luckily, this morning I had sausages with which to distract him long enough to make my escape, but only after suffering some playful bites from his razor-sharp puppy teeth. Things are getting pretty dangerous around here...

Recently I learned that over a hundred new positions for MPRI were approved. I'm getting nine of them, eight of which will be mentors for Combat Service Support Kandaks (Kandak = Battalion) in Gardez, Kandahar, Herat, and Kabul. The ninth position is for someone to develop an automated logistics management system.

I read where Obama said "Let the market work... and then just tax the heck out of people at the end and just redistribute it." Comforting, isn't it, to know that a Presidential candidate thinks he should "tax the heck" out of us. Better yet, then he's going to "redistribute it." Redistribute to whom exactly, I wonder? Hmm... I guess you know how I'm voting.

Out.
