Economists get the hatchet.

Every day he cuts a new path and no one is safe.

Shock and Awe

Oh boy.

November 10th is the Marine Corps Birthday...Semper Fi.

Remember, when you are sucking down your cafe latte, complaining that your Gameboy is broken and talking your country down, don't forget who paid the ultimate price for your freedom.

GENERAL WILSON'S BIRTHDAY TOAST

On the occasion marking the birthday of the US Marine Corps, 1978, onboard
Camp LeJeune, and in the presence of several thousand Marines and their
ladies, General Louis H. Wilson, CMC, arose to deliver his long awaited
address to the troops. He approached the rostrum, nodded to the CG's
(Base, FSSG and Division) and proceeded to explain to the captive masses
that he would be short on words that night - then turned to his bride, took a
glass and, amid absolutely DEAD SILENCE, offered this toast - and
promptly SAT DOWN.

LOVE

THE WONDERFUL LOVE OF A BEAUTIFUL MAID,
THE LOVE OF A STAUNCH TRUE MAN,
THE LOVE OF A BABY, UNAFRAID,
HAVE EXISTED SINCE TIME BEGAN.

BUT THE GREATEST OF LOVES,
THE QUINTESSENCE OF LOVES,
EVEN GREATER THAN THAT OF A MOTHER,
IS THE TENDER, PASSIONATE, INFINITE LOVE,
OF ONE DRUNKEN MARINE FOR ANOTHER.

THE WHOOPIN AND HOLLERIN WENT ON FOR A GOOD TEN MINUTES

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND SEMPER FIDELIS

At long last...I have gotten into the horse ownership business!

His name is Agent Di Nozzo and he is a seven year old horse with about one more year of racing to go. Look for him at Gulfstream on December 3, 2016!

Your tax dollars at work.

All you young folks owe it to yourselves to research the sordid history of this person (read it here). And to think the plumber in Ramseur and the truck driver in Rocky Mount and the hog farm worker in Duplin county are busting their humps to pay taxes to transfer the money to this vile wretch. You should not wonder why the public continues in their disillusionment of the university community. 

The action starts at minute 13:00....a preview with me and John Seater.
