Dept of the Navy AND Marine Corps?

Somewhat ungainly to say, yes, but not a bad idea. Walter Jones is the congressman from Jacksonville, NC--where Camp Lejeune is.

No biggy, as long as the USMC and USN still each have a chair at the JCS. This bill doesn't change that, and, while I like to tell the Jarheads that we own them, they have done 1 or 2 things in the past to warrant having their name in the title...

Financial crisis. Check. Economy in trouble. Check. Multiple wars. Check. Politicians introducing worthless waste of time bills. Yep. Who gives a sh!t. STFU and fix the economy.

i suspect this will get killed because of the administrative costs associated with having to change everything, logos, paper, etc.

the only thing i will upset about is I can't say the Marine Corps is the best service in the Department of the Navy!

Well, Congress has solved all their other outstanding business, right? They've got lots of spare time to dick around on stuff like this.

That's a mouth full to me.

That's what she said.


Everytime I hear about a bill even being proposed, much less endorsed by 200 representatives, it makes me wonder how anything gets done in our legislature. To know that one person wasted the mental capacity to come up with such a measure, much less have it heard and endorsed by others... :icon_rage

Just today Congressman Fred Upton visited my political science class. I asked him directly why the federal govenment was so reluctant (4th paragraph, as if the gov knows the company's financial position better then the company itself :eek:) to allow major banks to repay TARP loans and he responded, "I don't know!" He expounded on the situation for a few minutes, saying he voted against the second TARP disbursement, but more or less dodged the question. Sometimes one wonders if anyone really knows what's going on.

It is a shame that we have people in congress who vote on legislation that they have no clue about.

You need only watch these and wonder why we are paying their salaries..



I know the first one is possibly a repost buuut I figured it would relate a lil bit.

I personally feel that the shoulder thing that goes up is probably one of the most dangerous items out there, and we need to stop at nothing in order to get it out of the hands of our nations criminals!

Or maybe it's just a case of when we outlaw the shoulder thing that goes up, only outlaws will have the shoulder thing that goes up.

Not nearly as dangerous as the weapon that has a "compass in the stock, and a thing which tells time."
