Black Men Calling Other Black Men Racist.....YEEEHAW!

I'm so glad I'm not black and don't have to deal with this crap, people saying I'm not "black enough" or whatnot because I don't subscribe to a certain point of view on racial issues.  Because I'm white, I don't call other white people on racial issues "not white enough" (what's that mean? They need to be albino?) - I just call them "morons."

Can everyone say that?  "Mo- ron-z"

Here's another one us white people call other white people on issues of race - you'll have to fill in the blanks:

"F***ing idiots" (You'll have to practice that one on your own).

See, us white people have a diversity of racial cultures.

We have:
hippie

Gratuitous & irrelevant F86 Saber

yuppie
stoner
white trash
college elite
redneck
eurotrash
cowboy
literati
castrati
bread-and-butter
Leave-it-to-beaver
Father-knows-best
Conservative protestant evangelical
Gun-lover
sports fanatic
normal white dude who's had everything handed to him simply because he's white
tree hugger
liberal
environmentalist wacko


And a billion other social types.

I don't know that I've ever been accused of being "not white enough."  Heck, for us white folks, we got the opposite problem.  We get accused of being "Too White."   As in "White men can't jump."  "White men can't dance."  "White men can't sing."  Pick one.  Pick all three!  Make one up and add it to it!

Anyways, Herman Cain's got some black dude, Cornell Belcher, saying that the very successful CEO and business entrepreneur black-american Herman Cain is racist for saying black people are brainwashed into voting for Obama.



Well, I seem to recall the very successful actor and entertainer and cultural icon Bill Cosby saying something similar about blacks - and apparently Bill Cosby is racist as well.  Probably was a Grand Wizard in the KKK with that kind of talk about them getting an education and respecting themselves and learning proper english and being successsful.  Thought so....hmmmm.

Anyways, this guy Cornell Belcher looks all Malcom-X with his glasses but sounds like a castrati with his high-pitched squeaky voice in the news clip.  I wonder how the "black enough" community feels about him representing them and speaking out that they are NOT brainwashed? 


I thought Obama was going to eliminate racism in the US simply by being elected.

I don't know if he promised to or people simply assumed he would but whatever.  Y'all got suckered cuz you were brainwashed/guilted into voting for him.

Vincente Fox Agrees.......

No kidding.....

Ladies: Don't wear a skirt so you don't get raped....it's your responsibility.....

Women in a Brooklyn neighborhood on edge over a spate of sex attacks are being told by police that wearing skirts and dresses might not be a good idea.

As a former police officer and a military veteran as well as a husband and father to a darling daughter, I've got conflicting views on this. 

The reality of it is, every time I walk out my door I am "ready for war" - I don't leave the house unarmed and my attire is always such that I can "do what is needed" whenever or wherever the situation may be.   Even if I am dressed up or teaching a Sunday School class I'm usually packing or having something in reach and am ready to go.  I try not to attract attention to myself. 

However, I think women should be able to dress reasonably and not have their attire be an excuse for them to be attacked.

However again, the reality is, we live in a dangerous world and a miniskirt could very well be the excuse some pervert psychopath needs to justify an attack or provoke one.  It doesn't mean you should never wear one, but be prepared when you head out into the jungle.

Rather than the police telling women not to wear skirts, how about they tell women to protect themselves and carry concealed instead so some pervert who tries something will learn a lesson?   Given that New York has a "May Issue" policy where you have to demonstrate that you have a sufficient need for a concealed carry, the fact that the police are out personally telling women that its dangerous to come out dressed in a skirt - would that qualify as sufficient need for a permit?

late night humor.....GRANDMA!!!!

 Tony was 9 years old and was staying with his grandmother for a few days.

He'd been playing outside with the other kids, when he came into the house and asked her, 'Grandma, what's that called when two people sleep in the same bedroom and one is on top of the other?' She was a little taken aback, but she decided to tell him the truth. 'Well, dear, it's called sexual intercourse.’

‘Oh,’ Little Tony said, 'OK,' and went back outside to play with the other kids.

A few minutes later he came back in and said angrily, 'Grandma, it isn't called sexual intercourse. It's called Bunk Beds. And Jimmy's mom wants to talk to you.'

(FWIW - my grandparents were born in the 1880's and they slept in twin beds separate from each other). 

LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT MEEEEE!

Its cuz his teleprompter wasn't there, right?   Look at Dear Leader waving in the middle of the group photo....

 

Here's one more - a Billboard.....

Does she believe her own BS?

Can you watch this and not laugh?

Yeah? I think we should penalize teachers for being stupid...

Mr. Cuckovich?  This way please...

Steve Cuckovich says the practice is disrespectful and disruptive. He's banned saying "bless you" in his high school health class in Vacaville.

He even knocked 25 points from one student's grade for saying the phrase in class. 

After parents complained about students losing points for saying "bless you", Cuckovich says he decided to stop the practice.

However, the teacher says he will just find another way to discipline students for saying "bless you" in class. 

That it took parents complaining to wake this sod up is just unbelievable.  That he's even teaching is another.  

I think the Saudi women should take a vote on this on what HIS punishment should be for just being stupid, vindictive and not being able to deal with culture. I honestly would suspect angry, single, gay and angry about being angry-single-gay guy on this one.  Maybe a round of spankfest would cheer him up and lighten his mood.

How about banning sneezing altogether and all bodily functions of any nature - like idiot thought processes that come from some douchebag teacher out on people's kids? 

READING.
WRITING.
ARITHMETIC.
Thats it.  Stick to that.  Keep your stupid social agendas off the kids please.  Hands off. 

For this guy, I'll make an allowance.
HEALTH.

I would be in favor of

CRITICAL THINKING - but you have to know how to do it before you can teach it.  

But then....that's why my kids aren't in public school to be spared this kind of stupidity.

Although you gotta admit....

These do pique your curiosity though, you have to admit it.  Apparently the Mascara industry is alive and well over there, as also is the eyebrow tweezing accessory industry.

Just focus on YOUR feet or talk on your cellphone and I think you can be spared being arrested and beheaded....or just stay here in America where looking a woman in the eye can be a good thing.....

Saudi Women Vote On Whippings....

King Abdullah, your punishment awaits.....

In a rare turnabout in the Royal Kingdom, despite the Saudi King pardoning a woman for being beaten with 10 lashes for driving, Saudi women voted that the Saudi king would be beaten with 10 lashes for every lash upon a woman who's ever been lashed - retroactively (But in a fun way!) - to begin next Friday.

King Abdullah has vowed to veto the outcome of the election. 

Saudi women meanwhile have declared they will take a vote to veto the king's veto and have him spanked more for vetoing their vote.

Saudi women league of voters spokeswoman, Aliyah Ahwannabeatcha (Also known as "Spanky" by her close friends) has declared a new era in Saudi culture. "Yes, we're aware for the king, this will be more humiliating than Abu Gharaib was for the Iraqis initially, but I'm pretty sure when we get done with him, he's gonna ask for more. Beg for more.  I think he'll like it.  We've even brought in a woman from America in LA who has a lot of experience with this type of thing.  Our hope is that Saudi Arabia will never be the same again.....for women OR men but in a good way" Spanky said in an exclusive interview.

Spanktress Burka - Note uncovered head and neckline

When asked if she thought the spankings, whippings & beatings of men by women in leather were going a bit overboard Spanky replied "Not at all.  We realize as women voters in that it will take time for Saudi men to get used to the idea, but we think they are really going to like it.  We're actually very modern women with modern ideas.  We thank the American military women who were in our Kingdom during the gulf wars for the inspiration and liberation they brought to our kingdom.  We've even got a holiday to replace Ramadan planned where women will dominate men with spankings for the entire Ramadan season.  We're planning on calling it Spankfest.  We believe it will be a truly religious experience for everyone involved."

It was revealed that some standards of dress in public would be maintained however the burka would be done away with, though it would be modified in many instances to create varying degrees of modest dominatrix outfits during spankfest.

QUIT BUYING BOMBS ON EBAY!!!!

BOSTON –  A 26-year-old Massachusetts man has been arrested and accused of plotting to destroy the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol with large remote-controlled aircraft filled with explosives.

Rezwan Ferdaus of Ashland was arrested Wednesday in Framingham when undercover federal agents delivered materials he'd requested for his alleged plan, including grenades, six machine guns and what Ferdaus believed was C-4 explosive.

IDIOT!   You don't fricking order it online and have it delivered - let alone delivered by the FBI you moron.  You make it yourself!  Why the hell would you ORDER grenades and and C-4, which you can make yourself using household items in a quantity that wouldn't arouse any suspicion?   Even a  radio controlled airplane can be made at home for the damned plot.  I swear people are dense.   

Why not just go to the Science Store or Radio Shack and buy the "My first terrorist plot kit" while you're at it and take out the extended warrantee on it and make sure they have your full name and address in case you move and want a refund?   DUHHHH!  That would look even less suspicious!

I tell you - these terrorists and wannabes are a really dense lot. 

Sharks with laser beams on their heads

Even the Soviets had way cooler weapons and better intelligence about things (like the ridiculously slow dipping mechanism with sharks with fricking laser beams on their heads).  One of the FBI agents I was listening to in some interview the other week said the terrorists are very hard to find but very easy to kill.  The Soviets were very easy to find, but very hard to kill. ITS BECAUSE THE SOVIETS WERE SMARTER!

And to think this guy graduated from Princeton university....what a tribute to the American education system.  Educating people just enough to get a job, but not enough to succeed at their dreams and ambitions and keeping them ten steps behind the US government. I don't know what Princeton's admission standards are, but "common sense" obviously isn't a requirement, nor do they teach it for you to graduate. 

I don't see how Al Qaeda ever expects to win with this kind of buffoonery routinely in its ranks.  Apparently Al Qaeda has the same admissions standards as Princeton now that I think of it.

I can't even trust a bird eating out of my fingers....you'd have to have balls (and a wiener) of steel for this....

How to Eliminate Debt: Debt Stacking & Snowballing

When I was a licensed financial consultant for Citigroup, one of the things we used to focus on was debt reduction.

While this isn't a comprehensive guide to debt elimination, the principles are pretty simple and can leave you debt free much faster than simply paying your minimum payments.

First, one thing you want to do is negotiate with your lenders/creditors a lower payment rate or interest rate.

This allows you to pay off your debt faster because you're going to be paying more than your minimums and you want as much as possible to go to your principal rather than to your interest.

However, what you do is add up your monthly payments total on your debt.

If you can pay a bit more - great. Otherwise, my recommendation would be to devote some money to your savings which should be 3-6 months of your monthly income in liquid assets.

At any rate, debt stacking assumes that you're going to be paying the same monthly amount on your debts until your debts are paid off.  You start by paying off your smallest debt first, then add the principle of that when paid off to your next smallest debt, and so on until your debts are completely paid off by paying the same monthly total towards your debt until it is paid off.

It's very simple, but very effective.

Easy peasy Japanesey!

Good luck with that....(Iranian Navy to Approach US Coasts)

Iran says it's going to deploy ships off the  US's Atlantic Coast since we've got ships off their coasts and can be a threat to the US like we are to them.


Good luck with that since:

• Your time off our coasts would be extremely limited without replenishment.
• You'd have to refuel and replenish in Venezuela or at any other of your allies nowhere near here.
• Otherwise you'd need underway replenishment which you have no skill at just to maintain station (during which time you make a great target and are even easier to follow since you have no submarines capable of extended blue-water ops)
• You don't have deep-water capability or experience - something the US navy excells at from hunting the Soviets for a half century and the Nazis and Japs well before that.
• You don't even have a sizable navy that can defend its own battle group in a "blue water op."
• You don't have air cover nor can you get it - something the US Navy is the world leader at
• Our air cover extends well out to sea just from the USAF and ANG units. 
• Technologically you're several decades behind the US Navy (Skills wise you're nearly a century behind the US Navy)
• You'd be targets for our fast attack subs to just toy with and hone their sonar skills while they finish their sound signatures of your propulsion units within the first 15 minutes of you showing up so we can tell who you are just by the sound of your screws and our "intelligence sources" have already told us what's on your ships so we know exactly what you're capable of and doing just by the sound of your propellers swishing through the water.
• Our E2's and EA6's will have you countered with electronic and information warfare every single time you even go to say something on your radios.
• Our intelligence ships and crypto techs will be listening on the airwaves as well and be just taking apart everything you transmit as soon as you transmit it.
• And our subs will be tracking you well before you get here and follow you all the way here right out of your own ports from the time you cast off your first lines and tag team you all the way here.
• And a bunch of other impossibilities you'd have to overcome.
• Yah - not going to happen.

Sorry Marines - this one's not yours.  You can't even compete in this one.  This is ALL Navy. 

Actually, I hope they do come over here just for fun.

The only thing Iran has going for it is I think Obama's on their side and he might order us to "understand" the Iranians and hold fire and make sure the first couple missiles they lob into the US are not just weapons malfunctions.

This is one of those tit-for-tat things that are so childish in the realm of international politics.

I thought Islam was a peaceful religion?  At least that's what I got told in my Islam in Society class in college - maybe someone should tell the Iranians that the Ayatollahs are reading the Koran wrong and therefore their national rhetoric is not in keeping with the teachings of Allah.

Well - Iran - here's some peace right back at ya......oh, and good luck with all that.  I bet you don't even show up, and if you do....well...it'll be interesting entertaining! 
Sincerely - A US Navy Vet.

Please - Vote Responsibly.....

Protect Yourself......someone would have gotten shot.....

ABOUT 11 P.M. on Sept. 9, dozens of youths with bats and pipes descended on a tidy residential area of Port Richmond looking for white teens who allegedly had attacked an African-American kid at Stokely Playground a couple of hours earlier.

Two fearful white teens spotted Mark LaVelle on Indiana Avenue near Belgrade Street and asked for help. Suddenly, the mob appeared. LaVelle, who said that he didn't know the two kids, who looked to be 13 or 14, ran with them into his nearby house.

" 'We got you, you white mother-------!' " LaVelle said he heard someone yell in the "mob" of black and Hispanic youths.

VOTE ON IT!

A Saudi Woman is being sentenced to ten lashes for........DRIVING. 

I wonder if they can ride a camel?  Or is that a pleasure reserved exclusively for males as well?

What about another woman carrying the woman piggyback while she PRETENDS to drive?   Could you give a woman a steering wheel engraved with the word "Someday" as a gift?   Enough of those and I wonder if it would have an impact.

Sucks you'd have to drive your wife everywhere over there.  The auto industry would be boosted if women drove.  She could go to the store for you and be back in a hurry!.....or say "screw you I'm outta here" and be long gone before you figure out she's not returning with a gallon of milk.

Anyways, now that they can vote, maybe they can repeal this, and then demand reparations from the government for it all over the centuries of travesties.

I wonder if the Saudis know that some of those fighter pilots who've liberated Iraq and Kuwait were American women.....forget just driving.  They drive on the way to their fighter plane.

I do wonder whether a man could dress up in a Burka and go for a drive in that country - and what his punishment would be......

Gratuitious Airplane Pr0N....

Saw this on Neptunus Lex's site and had to post it on mine.

FYI, Lex is a retired US Navy Captain and F-18 driver and a former Top Gun instructor. He comments pretty extensively on military, navy and world affairs - but this was too good not to share. 

I was a Machinist's Mate assigned as a Master at Arms cross training to be an Aviation Boatswains Mate on my days off hoping for a shot at being a pilot but felt God called me other places...in the meantime this is a nice video with some sweet music.

Parents Owning Guns Not Teaching Children Gun Safety......

An 11 year old daughter accidentally shot her 14 year old sister in the head with a 20 gauge shotgun. 

My question: Why does an 11 year old not yet know about guns that are in the house and that they are not a toy?   I'm not even asking about gun-locks or safety cabinets like the police are talking on the radio.

That's too old!

My kids had started shooting at 4 and 5 years old and know darned good and well what a 20 gauge can do.

They have never touched our guns at home and mine are easily accessible for home defense which is a reality and a neccessity where I live.

We took them out and bought a bunch of cantaloupes and watermelons and let them see what each of the different guns does - after drawing faces on them with markers - to illustrate just how deadly a loaded firearm can be.

Given that more people are killed in automobiles than by firearms, and a traffic fatality is no less tragic or senseless than a firearm accident....the attitude of gun-opponents towards firearms stymies me.

How many ad campaigns are there on drinking and driving?

How about an ad campaign for firearm safety and gun proficiency?  I'd have taken a class in High School to learn to effectively use the 12 gauge or M-16 or 1911.....

Morgan Freeman - Racist!

Guess he can't help it.....he kind of struck me as a guy who could move past the race thing, but it appears despite his wealth and success, Morgan Freeman is just as bitter as some homie from the projects.... Maybe it typifies hollywood as well....

Returned American Hikers Speak Out On Iranian Detention.....Sort Of

"Many times, too many times, we heard the screams of other prisoners being beaten and there was nothing we could do to help them," Fattal said. "How can we forgive the Iranian government when it continues to imprison so many other innocent people and prisoners of conscience?"

I just really can't believe the naivete of these guys in the first place.  They assumed, as you read their story, that because they opposed the US's policy towards Iran - because they hated America - or were liberals - that they were special and were exempt from the rules of the world and therefore the Iranians wouldn't harm them or they wouldn't be in any danger.  Apparently it didn't work as well as they'd like.  Granted they got home earlier than if they'd truly been a spy for the US, but still, 2+ years because they were Americans....even though they were liberals.  Guess being a liberal gets you a "get out of jail alive after massive psychological trauma that will haunt you the rest of your life with physical ailments to follow and remind you of it the rest of your days" card.

I wonder what they learned out of it all. 

No disrespect, I'm just a blogger at this point relative to the story. Their experience was doubtless horrifying and here I am just making commentary at no expense to myself, but - I wouldn't be surprised to see them as activists on campus later teaching how this is the US's fault and getting book signing deals out of the whole thing.  I don't have a lot of respect for people who think and do things like they do/did and while I can't say they deserved it, I think I can say "they had it coming."

Bout Damned Time! Tea Partiers Growing A Pair! JUST SAY NO!

The Tea Party is preventing the passage of Obama's plan to destroy America with more fiscal irresponsibility. 

Here's the stupid part - not that we're surprised - but they are blaming the Tea Party for it being held up.

The Tea Party is not compromising.

It isn't anyone else who's not compromising.

It is the Tea Party.

Everyone else in Congress is compromising....except these guys....right?



The ones demanding the Tea Party compromise have compromised enough and now they refuse to compromise on compromising and demand the others to compromise more than them and they aren't going to compromise on that point.

Ever heard the saying "it takes two to tango"?

Like my kids fighting. It takes two....or three...or three hundred plus.

Why don't the democrats cave to the Tea Party?

Here's the real kicker - they are saying the GOP is putting the desires of 30 tea party members over 300 million Americans will for this to pass.

First, lets look at how many Americans didn't want Obamascare but the Democrats overrode the will of the American people on that one - thank you Bart Stupack for selling your soul to get it passed I hope you repent.

But more than that - 300 million Americans do not unanimously want this.

Not even 300 million Americans know what's going on.

Over half those are like under 18 and how many more can't even talk yet....or anymore cuz they are so old.

America's never been that unanimous on anything.

Why am I hammering that though?  Because it's typical of various mental disorders possessed by Obama - and little children on the playground who don't get their way with their parents "Everybody's doing it!"

Saudi's To Allow Women To Vote! (And an ADD tangent rambling)

Unbelievable.

The Saudis are going to allow women to vote.

But not drive.

I wonder if "letting women drive" is on the ballot for the next election and voting session....

Here you can see a Saudi woman car saleswoman selling a car to another woman for her husband to drive explaining how the "little camels and genies on the flying carpets under the hood" power the car and it runs on a mixture of magic sand and wishes and only costs you everything.

I did take a course on Islam in my undergraduate studies.  I honestly believe, and I'm not the type to leap to these conclusions, that I got marked down because I'm LDS by the Muslim Cleric teaching my class. There's a belief at the core of the LDS theology regarding the birthright involving Esau and Jacob and Ham and Egyptus that the Muslims find kind of offensive - not that they don't find everything else offensive when you have a book that decrees the death of the unbeliever and then people saying "That's not what it says!"  When I asked him why I got a "B" he said "Maybe next time you'll do better."  That was all I got.  Whatever.  Thankfully, not all Muslims are douchebags.

At any rate, there's a difference between Islam itsself and the governments where it is practiced.  For example, women can drive in Iraq, but not in Saudi Arabia.  Not only that, for the uninformed, Islam isn't a single religion no more than Christianity is.  It is as fractured and widely diverse in practice and belief as Protestantism and Catholicism are.  So when you hear that Islam is the fastest growing religion....that really doesn't tell you much because some sects of Islam don't even like each other and accuse the others of being apostate INFIDELS!

On the flip side, having your women be able to drive can be useful if you go into all out war...as the Iranians are well aware of.  Not that you want to go to war.  If you haven't been, trust me you don't want to.  It's not glorious, its not glamorous, it is hell on earth to a degree you don't want to ever experience again...unless you're General Patton where you wake up every day praying for war.  But I digress.

On the thoughts of women fighting and their influence in the middle east, there is a saying among the Israelis: "There will never be peace in the middle east until Palestinian mothers care more about the lives of their children than they do the deaths of the Jews."

Mothers.  Women.  I hope someday the Middle Easterners realize what a resource they've oppressed for centuries and capitalize on their potential and their husbands stop being douchebags and they someday are truly free.  Free to be an equal counterpart to a man.  I don't think I could be married to someone I considered less than me...what type of honor is that?  Sounds like marriage would be a pain in the ass and degrading more to the man if that's the way they view women.  Just a thought.

And for all you from Saudi Arabia who hit on my blog who say I do not understand your way of life - I say - neither do you understand ours. 

Perry Goin' Down!

When you start responding in panic to the polls and the media - you don't last long in the campaign. Perry's telling people not to vote for the smoothest debater.  Well, last time Americans voted for the smoothest teleprompter reader run by some kid from a starbucks who wrote all of the Bamster's speeches.  I'm glad Perry's getting negative press only because he was propped up by the media too fast for having done nothing worthy of it.  It's a false lead and a false front. He's not the lead GOP nominee but the press is holding him up as one.  I'd like to see him go down though. So let him take fire!

Herman Cain's not my first pick only because he doesn't have political experience.  Could be a good thing, could be a bad thing. Business experience and political experience are two different things, but who knows.

I'd vote for Cain.  My first pick is Ron Paul but I don't know that he'll get the momentum he needs.  Second is Romney - most likely pick.  I'd roll with Cain though.

Do a rhino....

One might make fun of him for "doing" rhinos instead of a real man's object of passion. However, if you think about what kind of balls of steel it would take to pull it off AND get away with it, you might think again before ridiculing him....before he decides to have his way with you for making fun of him....

Religious Logic....

As a religious man, I find this funny, only because I do find the zealousness of some of the evangelical protestants kind of amusing....and annoying.

I'm Still A Guy.....

Apparently Brad Paisley hasn't been neutered by Shaniah Twain's "Any Man Of Mine" song or attitude.  My wife showed this to me - and - well, yeah. It made me grin....I get ya on riding the bull thing, Brad.  I get ya.

He's The Man....

I think society's beginning to accept the truth that men aren't just a bunch of woman-hating-oppressors, and that the fact that God made men and women different doesn't somehow cheat women while recognizing that men may actually have something to contribute to society, homes, families - that we're not only different, but essential - to society and to each other.

In the meantime, I think this is an amusing commentary on some relationships....

Sing It Out Loud.....the Golden Age

Heard this on the speakers at Pier One Imports in Hillsboro where my wife used to work.  Was out on a walk with the Fam down the Rock Creek Trail and had to stop in to use the little boys room when I heard a kinda catchy tune over the speakers but couldn't quite hear what it was.  Anyways, texted the lyrics to myself and looked it up and voila!  Pier one always has some sort of "alternate" music - not the alternative like Nirvana alternative - like "Harry Connick Jr." or something swing or pop from the 1930's, 1940's or even 1920's.  Actually a lot of Portland has stuff like that blowing around here over the speakers.  

This is totally something that would come out of Portland.  Much as I can't stand our politics, and some aspects of the culture drive me nuts, if it didn't come out of Portland, I could totally see a Muscial like this being acted out somewhere or spontaneously happening in Portland.  But they aren't - they are from Denmark - "The Astroid Galaxy Tour" with their website here.  But Portland would totally welcome them.  

The other one we had here recently was a bunch of actors totally dressed to the hilt like they were in an Austin Powers movie and playing that they were radioactive nuke specialists handling biological nuclear waste and cordoning off the park in Portland over by Lloyd Center and the city going nuts over it and wondering what was going on while the actors told the police they didn't have the authority to question them as they emptied the park and pretended to examine leaves and trash and contain the trash cans and the swings so nobody wanted to touch them for a day.......

Anways, feel free to get it stuck in your head.  Apparently this song was an advertisement originally for Heineken (?).

I just saw these and thought they were cool and decided to post them. A B-17 pilot, color, WWII and female F-15 pilots of the AKNG.  B17's cooler though....
