They still have to salute and follow the same regs- old etiquette says they are to be saluted regardless of rank, but it's not official, and cannot be enforced.

He complained about dudes wearing kit who aren't in the service. He feels there is no need for a civilian to own or wear kit. He os mocking dudes who run their gear on the range and poo poo.

No because why would you salute indoors like that?

Don’t marry the prettiest girl at the party like Dakota did. Instead, find the pissed off chick yelling at the beer pong table because she’s losing. Marry her. She’ll raise winners, and you want your kids to be winners.

All the first baseman needed to do was step on the base, and he got completely flustered when Baez turned around. I love it.

Man. The Cubs are a constant source of pleasure and pain. I haven't paid attention since their world series win, but I love when they get one over on another team. So many years, they languished as baseballs' version of the Jamaican bobsled team. Good for them for making someone else look like a fool.

Dakota Meyer just seems like he was a mark for the Palin family, nothing I’ve heard about him seemed to tell any story other than he got played and he’s probably a bit of a chud.

I think what most pisses me off about the success of this particular line of right wing propaganda is that as a Jewish American I feel like I cannot at all talk about anti-Semitism in American society or my own personal experiences with anti-Semitism without either side of the culture war completely ignoring everything I said and twisting it to suit their preferred narrative about Israel/Palestine. Either I'm automatically talking in bad faith because obviously I believe ethnic cleansing in Palestine is actually cool and good, or "how could I possibly be anti-Semitic I'm supporting your country so hard right now?"

PS. Of course dems have issues with anti-Semitism. Dems are Americans, and western societies aren't going to magically remove all historically rooted biases against minority groups overnight even if certain individuals think racism/sexism/*-ism is bad now and genuinely want to be better.

PPS. Free Palestine

I have no idea how baseball is played (beyond the obvious like "hit the ball" and "run around the 5(?) plates"). So I decided to look it up in news articles and I still absolutely don't understand what happened, except that Will Craig is apparently at fault, having made some of the worst mistakes in baseball history.

Basically 1st base, where you run to after you make contact with the ball is somewhat special. All you have to do is touch the base with any part of your body while holding the ball before the runner makes it there.

Other bases aren’t always this way, as if there is no one behind you, you don’t have to advance bases, so the only way to get tagged out is if you aren’t standing on a base (essentially a safe zone) and the person who touches you is hold the ball. So instead of just casually walking to the base and touching his foot to it, ending that inning, he chased the batter like it was 2nd or 3rd base, causing a stupendously stupid turn of events.

All Craig the first baseman had to do was take 2 steps backwards and touch the base and the inning was over. He majorly over complicated an incredibly simple play and cost his team.
