After spending 4 years in the Coast Guard, I can say I am not surprised. We were constantly being social engineered, and second guessed by people who had never served a day, and would get seasick in a swimming pool.

The Coast Guard is using Civilian Volunteers to man offices and commercial vessel boarding teams. The Coast Guard Auxiliary is not a free labor force. But you cant tell that to the "experts" in Washington. I am dismayed by the amount of bullshite coming out of DHS, and the alphabet soup that our government has become.

It is time to re-think our government, and get rid of some stupid liberal bureaucrats and replace them with people who do not need to justify their existence with stupid programs that do not work.

Sixers too late in dealing Iverson
Don't expect too much in return for A.I., Philly fans


Sixers chairman Ed Snider said it best on Friday. "At a certain point," Snider said, "you have to come to grips with the fact that it's not working. He wants out, and we're ready to accommodate him."

What should bother Sixers fans is that this is the fourth season in which Allen Iverson and the only NBA team he has known haven't been working. Philly has been under .500 two of the last three seasons and was on its way to making it three of four this year. The one season over .500 saw the Sixers knocked out of the playoffs after just one postseason win.
