LATEST STORIES FROM 38PITCHES
Can’t help but love this.
Father & Daughter Talk
A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many
others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other
liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more
government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.
She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch conservative...

Another incredible story. SSG Sal Giunta
The story speaks for itself.
A veteran of two tours in Afghanistan by the time he was 22 years old, SSG Sal Giunta is the embodiment of our Army’s Warrior Ethos: I will always place the mission first … I will never accept defeat … I will never quit … I will never leave a fallen comrade.
He lived that Ethos in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley on October...

Been awhile…
Sorry to anyone that still checks in, as I’ve been away. But I received an email that I thought was worth reposting. As the son of a “Screaming Eagle”, with a cousin that served in the Navy, a brother in law that served in Vietnam, and another cousin that was a Tier 1 Operative this email was pretty powerful.
I haven’t fact checked, not sure if that’...

Job creation? I am not seeing it.
I am curious to know how people feel about this. We’re getting ready to be hit with massive tax increases and I am curious, in this economy, how anyone can see this as helpful to our economy? How does anything in this create jobs, help create jobs, or help KEEP jobs?
I get that the publication is obviously Republican biased based on some of the comments included, but putting...

Have been ridiculously busy of late.
Haven’t really had an opportunity to post here much, certainly not to write anything substantial. I do like this article, which I know will get its usual flame war reaction….
Shonda’s traveling to Chicago for a book signing and an event for Asperger’s tonight, so I am daddy dearest this weekend with games and sleepovers all over the docket.
We finally had...

America’s greatest generation.
This venerable and much honored WW II vet is well known in Hawaii for his seventy-plus years of service to patriotic organizations and causes all over the country. A humble man without a political bone in his body, he has never spoken out before about a government official, until now.
Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December...

38 Studios…
This blog is a wonderful tool. No one has to listen, no one has to hear anything I have to say, unless they choose to. I assume there are more than a few gamers out there that drop by every now and then, and I would also assume some folks in Rhode Island and Mass are doing so as well given the news the past few weeks.
So I once again can use the forum to speak to rumors and innuendo...

Shonda’s book is out today!
If you click on this link you can purchase the book straight from the publisher! So proud that she shared her story and we’re hopeful parents of children with special needs know they are not alone in the world.

THIS should be how we implement legitimate health care….
It really is not that complicated, I just don’t understand HOW people don’t grasp the concept of “Free Market”, and why left alone, it WORKS!
People yell about posts being nothing more than links, but she’s spot on in just how simple this all COULD, or better yet, SHOULD be.

Curt Schilling
This weekend Shonda and I are hosting an event for 4 living members of Easy Company, 101st Airborne. This is a fund raiser to shoot a follow up documentary to the award winning Band of Brothers HBO mini-series.
I wanted to give a special shout out to this company, that is playing a huge part in [...]

Nobody to blame…
But yourselves. If Scott Brown finds a way to win this election tonight let’s not forget that Democrats, the same ones screaming the loudest, are the only ones to blame for any of this…
Remember this?
Keep changing the rules to make sure the game is played in the manner in which you want it played, and [...]

How do people NOT get fired for this sort of incompetence?
Read this article, please, and tell me how the people associated with this part of it
In 1986, there was the fourth husband: Thomas Kaplan, a psychologist and son of a prominent financier and philanthropist. They filed for divorce in 1999. Their large home in the Riverdale section of the Bronx was lost in foreclosure, and [...]

Something I have wondered…
And it is true, if the Government can MAKE you buy health insurance, is there anything else they CAN’T make you do? You have to laugh at the responses given by politicians when asked the question. I don’t think Senator Hatch is stupid, far from it, but how could people holding the same office disagree [...]

The best quote of the day yesterday..
And for the life of me I can’t figure out why no one has repeated it.
Scott Brown addressing voters said
“Your tax dollars should go towards the purchase of weapons to stop these terrorists from killing American Citizens, not to pay lawyers to defend them”
Bravo Scott.

Who do you root for now?
I am a lifelong Steeler fan, they had a crappy year, missed the playoffs so I ended up rooting for the Patriots.
Well that’s come and gone and I had no team to really get behind, until now.
Read this story and if you don’t have a ‘dog in the hunt’ how can you NOT want [...]

I’ve been called a LOT of things…
But never, and I mean never, could anyone ever make the mistake of calling me a Yankee fan. Well, check that, if you didn’t know what the hell is going on in your own state maybe you could….
This is great stuff.

Another gem from Martha Coakley….
First is this poll, which I hope has a 0% margin for error (though we know it doesn’t)
Better yet is this response, and I have to ask, is that really your answer to the question????
Read the transcript here….
And just in case you were wondering about ‘qualifications’ or resume and achievements….
Read up.

A lie or ignorance?
Which one is it?
Because it is one or the other, no way around that. If it’s a lie, then I’m ok with that, business as usual right? If it’s ignorance, isn’t that far more dangerous?
Especially when you read this, published today….
Turn the page, change the game, go out and vote on the 19th for [...]

Want ANOTHER reason to NOT vote for Martha Coakley???
Picked this up from here…
If she hasn’t done it yet, Martha Coakley may have just killed her campaign.
She’s apparently been trying to win the title of Worst Political Campaign Ever, and she might have just clinched it with her little dig at Scott Brown over Fenway Park.
The appearance characterizes Coakley’s approach to this truncated [...]

Democrats…
Will take their ball and go home if they don’t win this election…
The stakes are so high Democrats won’t rule out taking as long as a month to certify the election results—should Brown win—to prevent a Republican from assuming the seat until the Senate completes its work on Kennedy’s hallmark legislation.
From this article.

How can you NOT like Ann Coulter…
Flame away, but read this first.
Rant and rave, scream, bitch and moan, but when you realize it’s all true don’t yell at me.
Oh and all you Ann haters, just remember that when she stoops to Bill Maher’s level and debates, she does so with facts, while he does so, as do most of the folks [...]
