Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The National Security Force came from a campaign speech in which he had the lines.
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
There is no policy about it, just that line and it was probably a flub.
Wow, I just got the nicest email from a coworker. I wish I could just forward it along with my resume when I'm applying for jobs....
I always save those, Jesse. They're good for two things: a pick me up when things are going badly, and for reference when filling out those stupid evaluation forms every damned year.
I have a civilian national security force... in my pants!
you might want to see a Dr. about that.
I continue to be in a hateful mood. To get things done so mac can start the new afterschool on Wed (the goal was to ease him into things, get settled in school first.) I have:
called Dr. office for hours to pick up copy of immunization info
filled out and copied registration and emergency info cards
called afterschool office for clarification on 2 points
called babysitter about Friday availability b/c my dad now may leave as soon as Fri. morning
called YMCA about coverage for halfdays and school vacations b/c new afterschool does not provide coverage
To do one thing takes a million steps.
I should say the context of the speech was community service, so it really wasn't scary in context, but it was a boneheaded way of putting things. For every Obama gaff there is a conspiracy.
I always save those, Jesse. They're good for two things: a pick me up when things are going badly, and for reference when filling out those stupid evaluation forms every damned year.
Oh yeah, I'm totally saving it! But I wish I could leverage it beyond my own mental state as I'm applying for new jobs, now.
can you use the coworker for a reference?
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
That sounds like it would make the Woo Second Amendment I Love Guns! people happy.
To me, it sounds like it could mean anything. From a militia to Girl Scouts.
I'm not sure how the Girl Scouts could be just as powerful as the military. Unless they've all earned their Marksmanship and Heavy Artillery badges.
