First off, Happy Birthday to the USMC!
Interesting ceremony on cutting the USMC Birthday Cake at the link.
I did not know this.

Anniversaries- In my usual, "Ooops", day late on noting them way - Yesterday, November 9th, 1989 The Berlin Wall came down.
I had only been off active duty Army for 2 months when this happened. Remember sitting up all night watching the news and drinking beer in celebration.
Good times.



And Just for the Hell of it, Roger Explains it for us - The Debt Ceiling Explained

* Democrats don't understand THE DEBT CEILING.
* Republicans don't understand THE DEBT CEILING.
* Liberals don't understand THE DEBT CEILING.
* Neocons don't understand THE DEBT CEILING.


"Allow me to explain

Let's say, you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood.

Your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.

What do you think you should do? Raise the ceilings or pump out the shit?

Your choice is coming next November. Don't miss the opportunity."
I'm good with this explanation.
