He doesn't have the guts to make a bet.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Neither do you, but I don't bring that fact up with random posters.

Obama will win, it's a done deal. The Democrats will make great gains in both the Senate and Congress.

I'm curious, what do you think Congress consists of?

Congressmen.

Strix as your other personality makes a lot of sense.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Does Raz even have the means to make a bet?

You already lost a bet with me!

So I end up working about 14 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Sucky hours, but its not like there is much else to do.

You're either lying or your life sucks.

Or both?

Whatever happened to Hansmeister's blog?

Alas, blogs for military members are now subject to monitoring and approval.

Not to mention that I'm quite busy most of the time.  I'm currently filling a half-dozen positions, half of which are Field Grade level.  So I end up working about 14 hours a day, 7 days a week.

You should start a union.  :P

The GOP will win the Senate even if Obama wins another landslide. The geography of the election is so against the Dems that it's impossible for them to keep it.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Last I remember, he was deployed in the sandbox (unless he has come back).  That kind of schedule is normal over there.
