"We Support Some Troops"

I'd like to see the definition of "foreign vehicles" they're using when deciding which cars to exclude, too.

Which is "foreign": a Toyota or BMW assembled by UAW members in the USA, or a Ford assembled in Mexico by workers who aren't represented by the UAW?

Gerard, you live in Oceanside? My Marine son is flying out of Pendleton tonight (3-11-05) after having been stationed there since October. He's going to a new posting at Camp Lejeune. How 'bout that? Six degrees, and all that stuff....

One thing history has demonstrated time and time again: institutions will invariably decay over time, becoming hollow shells of what they once were, and who purpose morphs into simply staying alive.

The "no foreign cars" proviso is merely petty (as well as stupid, per Kevin's comments). But the "no Bush supporters" rule is really pretty astonishing. Have we really reached the point at which respectable people consider voting for the candidate they didn't vote for to justify this kind of behavior?

Sigh. I guess we have.

If I know anything about Marines, the rest of them who would be "authorized" to park there will thumb their noses at the UAW and go park someplace else, and damn the longer walk...it's just a good stretch of the legs.

Screw that traitor union...

They moved Oceanside? When did this happen? I was so used to having Oceanside in San Diego County, it feels strange to have it in Orange. And what's taken it's place? Did they switch Oceanside with San Clemente, and who got the Nixon Compound?

Oceanside north of Camp Pendleton, and here I thought the world had some verities left.
