Here's a bit of the latest and greatest from the Military Industrial Complex.

Up first we have Boston Dynamic's LS3 also known as BigDog.

Thanks to our friend Evan for this one.

Next up we have Time Magazine's "Most Awsome Invention of 2010" the Raytheon XOS2 Exoskeleton.

Sleep well Sheeple.

We couldn't decide on just one Zappa photo.    

We begin today in developing/establishing the platform upon which the Roanman candidacy for the office of President of the United States will stand.

And since I'm still feeling a hair run down and happen to have this bit of word art already completed, and not because I attach any special importance to this issue, I'll begin with "Gays In The Military".

I believe a decent enough interval has elapsed since the 2012 presidential election for me to announce my candidacy for the office of President of the United States in the upcoming 2016 presidential election.

Having taken care of that little bit of business, I'm taking a weekend off from the site as all this politicking and stuff has me worn out.

So ... once again in the words of both Douglass MacArthur and the Terminator.

And, as always when we take a little time off, we remind you of the wisdom of Sgt. Phillip Esterhaus.

That's good advice.

The political ads will all be gone by closing time at the polls.

Here's Cuba Gooding Jr. with a reminder of what you can expect to see tomorrow night in the way of prime time television advertising.

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their  currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks … will deprive the people of  all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered … The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.  Thomas Jefferson

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Thomas Jefferson

The modern theory of the perpetuation of debt has drenched the earth with blood, and crushed its inhabitants under burdens ever accumulating.  Thomas Jefferson

I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution. I would be willing to depend on that alone for the reduction of the administration of our government to the genuine principles of its constitution; I mean an additional article, taking from the federal government the power to borrow money.  Thomas Jefferson

If (As the supreme court had recently inferred) Congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given to them to be used by themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations.  Andrew Jackson

 

 

The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of  consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.  Abraham  Lincoln

 

 

 

 

 

Issue of currency should be lodged with the government and be protected from domination by Wall Street. We are opposed to … provisions [which] would place our currency and credit system in private hands.   Theodore Roosevelt

 

 

 

I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of  credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most  completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a  Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.  Woodrow Wilson 

 

 

 

Yes you did you half-witted narcissistic twit!!!!!

 

I've been listening to this little bit of Power Pop perfection all week.

Who could ask for more?

Hooks galore, a great little guitar riff crunched up to perfection blasting through a set of big ass Marshall stacks, Beatlesque harmonies, scary but cute, maybe legal, probably lesbian girls with a lot of attitude.

I'm not that sure about gigantic firebreathing baby dolls, but it's a music video it doesn't have to make sense.

Performing the video vesrsion of their #33 Australian hit Take Me Away which was subsequently picked up with rerecorded vocals for the Freaky Friday Movie, this is Micaela Slayford on lead vocals and bass, Jessica Bennett on lead guitar and backup vocals, Belinda-Lee Reid on backup vocals and guitar, and Jaclyn Pearson playing her Pearl drum kit.
