No more party pics from the Gaspar household please.

You should see the one of me wearing nothing but a six-pack hat!

McChrystal showed very poor judgment. The fact he chugs a wuss beer like Bud Light Lime is proof.

It's a wuss beer, but it sure tastes good after 3 to 4 hours on the bike in this weather.  That is until the 3.2 headache starts mid-way through the third one

Is it better than Miller Chill? I had one of those a couple years back and it was utterly disgusting. It wasn't even 3.2, since I was in another state at the time. And it was fresh off the truck from the brewery (literally).

I think it's better, but it's kind of like saying: "Is lamp kerosene tastier than 87 octane unleaded?"

They all taste great after about 12 or 15 anyhow.

Report is that President Obama has fired McChrystal, as he should, for insubordination.  Petraeus to take over.

However, I think many will view McChrystal's firing by Obama as his highest honor.  The idea of McChrystal showing up on a Tea Party ticket may be more than just conjecture.

Well, we can turn off the suspense music soundtrack now.  Like anyone didn't see this coming.  There's been speculation he didn't want the assignment in the first place and that he welcomed being fired.  How else could you explain the comments?  Those aren't what you'd expect from someone who cared about keeping his job.

It's funny.  The whole thing was so stupendously stupid that you have no choice but to look for an ulterior motive.  How can a guy make it so far up the chain and be that naive?

I agree, but then again, what happened was that he was interviewed over a few days by the reporter, then due to the Volcano (that no one on the planet can pronounce the name of) they were stranded together for a month.

It seems he relaxed his sphincter.

So the leading contenders are a governor who quit halfway through her term, and a general who was such a blabbermouth that he couldn't hold his job.

Sounds like an ideal ticket to me (((sarcasm)))

Smells a little of the Lincoln vs McLellan presidential election in 1864.  Lincoln fires McClellan.  McClellan talks serious smack about Lincoln.  McLellan enters Presidential race.  Lincoln starts winning the war.  McLellan defeated.

Here comes the self-righteous indignation.

You can't come up with anything better than that?  To deflect using his military resume?

Are you denying he wasn't a blabbermouth?  In such a manner that it got him relieved of his duties by his COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF?
