I grew up on the Texas/Louisiana but I lived in Southeast Houston from 1990-1996 when I graduated high school. I spent the next four years in Huntsville (at the college, not the prison). I remember the "high profile" cases from the 90s like Smither and Cain. Cain always had a special spot in my...

If women are allowed to serve in direct combat arms (ie: Infantry), then all women upon reaching the age of 18 should be required to register for Selective Service, just as all men are. If women can serve in those MOSes, then they should be subject to the draft just as men are. (In the event...

I hope for the best but fear for the worst. And the ship is a sad loss too. She was beautiful!

As another Ike survivor, I second this advice. After Ike a bunch of us brought all of our meat up to the police station where we had generators operating everything, including the multiple refridgerators. We cooked everything up and ate like Kings! Of course, we needed the calories with all...

So true. My job (LE) means that I don't have a choice. I have to stay and work. That said, even if I did have a choice, I'd stay and work anyway. As far as your other post is concerned, definitely load up on the smokes. I quit smoking this past May, so I'm over it. But during Hurricane...

I'm casting a vote on behalf of Mrs. PATX. I gave her the choices and she went with Johnny Depp rather than the "My Husband" option.....

I'm late on this one, but better late than never. Maureen O'Hara is the hottest woman who has ever lived. (Other than my wife, of course.) I'm partial to redheads...just see my signature. I find the movie stars of the 30s, 40s, and 50s to be so much more attractive than the stars of today.

Best wishes from this Gulf Coaster for those who are potentially in the path of this storm. Hopefully all of you stay safe and dry.

Yes, that storm will pack a knockout punch. I just hope that they don't name one Apollo Creed!

"Et tu, Brute?" asks winter storm Caesar.

These folks can be extremely dangerous in some circumstances. Not all of them, of course. But there is a hardcore element within the movement that can and will perform acts of violence if they deem it necessary. In 2010, two West Memphis, Arkansas officers were killed while conducting a...

Thank you for all of the updates, Kimberly.

Haven't seen a thread on this. If there is one, please delete mine. This happened this morning in St. John the Baptist Parish. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/08/16/13315235-two-louisiana-deputies-killed-in-ambush-shooting http://www.odmp.org RIP, Brothers.

RIP, Brother. He's the third line of duty death in this state since July 28th. http://www.odmp.org

We are at that. I like how the good folks here can discuss all this in a rational manner, despite the strong emotions that we are all feeling. You don't often see that on message boards.
