H.O.M.E.

I could tell you how G.D. good it is to be home but that would dampen the spirit of the moment.  Within 48 hours of my arrival, V.P Cheney has shot a lawyer in my honor.   Thank you sir, I am speechless. 
One lawyer in the bag and the state of Texas has not so much as revoked his hunting license.  God bless Texas.
Seriously, during my own lifetime, rock salt in a shotgun was considered an acceptable crowd control measure on Halloween.  When is the VP going to start inviting reporters on his hunting trips?  Put  a shock collar on that bag  Helen and have her walk point. 
  I have exactly zero tales of grisly desert combat to tell.  The semi monthly incoming rounds at Fallujah dwindled to near nothing in the last few months. Coherent memories at this point consist of marathon days at the computer with Front Page and Excell.  Aside from 2 months on the Corps Staff in Baghdad, life largely resembled that of a galley slave.  The heavy lifting is being done by the kids on the ground outside the wire everyday, and by the men and women flying 30 year old aircraft well beyond their life expectancy every night. and increasingly by the Iraqis themselves.
  The fridge is full of beer, Dead Animals Week starts on Wednesday.  Plenty of gun topics to follow as I start reloading my own for the first time.  Is it too early to be turned on by freshly de-capped and polished .30-06 brass?
Oh yeah, remember kids, DON'T SCREW WITH DICK CHENEY.

Glad to have 'ya back in the land of the "Big PX". My next tall-one will be dedicated to you; just wish I was with you to buy the round.

Thanks Bro's. It's damn good to be back I shit you negative. Tall ones all around 74, and send the tab to me.

Heh.

Got over here from the Donovan. I agree with you about bagging the lawyer...Helen and all that. Someone sent me an email with Cheney asking Bill Clinton if he could take Hillary hunting with him next time around.

Thanks so much for all you have done.

If he takes Hillary with him, I hope he's hunting elephant.

Welcome back to the world, Dude!

AMERICA RULES...

The addendum to that being that everywhere else SUCKS.

Welcome home... which doesn't make much sense for me to say, being as you beat me here by about a week. But the beer is cold, the love is hot, and the non-suck factor is high.

Ooh. Rah.

Drop on by sometime. See ya later.

[Michael]
