This will be a short diary......without a whole lot of substance. But may have some interest to some....

We have all heard the story of deluded former Lt Col Terrance Lakin. The man who decided he couldn't report for deployment based on his belief in the Birther fantasy. And he is now former Lt Col Lakin.

Orly Taitz has dragged another one down.

I have learned some lessons in life.
Never call home at 0200 in the morning when you are drunk and away from home.
Don't send angry e mails. At least without walking away from the computer and doing a reread... ( how many of us come to regret that so inviting send button? ).
Don't feed the trolls. ( although it's sooo fun and easy )

But I am sorely tempted to break those simple rules tonight and post an angry diary....and accept the consequences thereof. ( but only mild ones....fragile psyche and all...LOL.)

Lot's of action in the election threads tonight so I thought I'd offer up another forum for people to blather on about. Something interesting is happening on the Senate battlefront. The GOP seems to have hit a wall in their Senate hopes. Even though the CNN and other cable outlets have called the House for the GOP, which seems to me to be premature, especially given the volitility of this cycle.

But the Senate is part of the so called expected Republican tsunami.

And the wave is falling short.

Candidates implode. Campaigns implode. It's happened before and it is happening again. To no great surprise, given the amount of political rookies with outsize reach running this election cycle. Paulite thugs. Bucks condemnation of the secular state. Angle so hiding from the press she uses decoys.....

First Contact with reality has not gone well for many of them. Some more than others.

Particularly Joe Miller of Kansas, oops, I meant Alaska. Miller struted on to the scene with a sense of assured entitlement and now finds it might not be the cakewalk he thought. Somehow, I guess, he thought none would ask about his past.

Surprise.

I apoligize for this being a pretty short and sparse diary but I noticed nothing was up about the Washington Senate debate. It's a pretty important race so I thought I'd throw something up and offer a forum for those who may be watching. Here's hoping Patty kick's Dino 'Washington Generals' Rossi's you know what.

Short diary here. I'm just waiting to hear ( as Mrs Eastvan just said 'Did it just get gaveled?") Nancy Pelosi say exactly what I just heard her say..." The Bill is passed...".

Done. It passed.

But not by much ( apparantly one last minute GOP vote for the bill... who is that Rep? And is he/she planning to leave the GOP?).
And that is the gist of this diary.

Today I hit a milestone. We all have these, but this one is special. At least to me. Never thought it would happen. But it did. And to me no less.This is a short diary due to time constraints -- tommorrow morning will come soon -- way too soon. Not too many tags. And no links. Just a few random thoughts thrown out on a 'milestone day'.

Today is the 20th anniversery of the day I raised my right arm and said 'I do -- for better or worse' ( been a lot of both!) to the Army. ( It's also the 12th anniversery of getting engaged to my long suffering better half -- but thats another diary for another day -- It seems June 22 is my 'commitment day'! ). I am out of the field for a few hours --- on a beer consumption mission.

Today President Obama crossed the line of what is acceptable behaviour and displayed egrarious behaviour in enriching and fattening himself from his office. I must say it does not please me in any way to write this diary but it is incumbant upon all of us to stay ahead of the GOP slime machine that has now been handed a golden opportunity to resurrect a party hooked to life support. I am sure that this one could even make Micheal Steele hip hop his way to the pantheon of Republican leadership on a par with Newt Gingrich and Roy Blunt. There is no doubt that the powerful Republican Minority will be able to ride this to a resurection unlike any we have seen in recent years. And Alternate President Limbaugh hasn't even warmed up his vocal cords yet. We eagerly wait his wisdom and guidance on this still baking issue. The crime? Follow the crumbs......

So there I was, wanting to throw a few words into an uncrowded blogosphere but kind of wondering what direction to go in.......so much to choose from -- McCains lies? Sarah Palin? Minority Leader Boehner blaming the Democrats for todays economic meltdown? Sarah Palin? The developing war between the Republicans and the media? Maybe Sarah Palin? Perhaps the lack of a border fence between Russia and Alaska? The small McCain crowds when it's not a McCain/Palin rally? Perhaps I could write a few words about Sarah Palin? Hardly anyone else has, why not me?

Then it hit me.....

I began tonight after getting off duty, ( Duty NCO for a Leadership Course I was parachuted into at the last moment due to an urgent need to fill a sudden vacancy -- a vacancy that has led me to be about thousand miles from wife and pootie for a while ) with the idea of doing a post on my own blog as to who I thought would make the best choice for our nominees ticket mate. This I did. As an NCO at a premier school I have cable in my room and a kickass wireless signal so as I sat down to write I was watching CNN to get tonights results from what everyone has to admit has been a long strange road of a Primary battle.

A good day for one NY politician --- the kiss of death for another. The NY Times has released it's endorsements. And pretty much put the coup de gras to Rudi. It remains to see the effect on Hillarys run.
