The Defense Department has released its proposed list of installations and bases to close, and if you don;t remember what this was like ten years ago, get ready for some hysterics: The Pentagon will propose shutting 150 military installations from Maine to Hawaii, including 33 major bases, The Associated Press learned Friday, triggering the first …
Sayanora, Credibility
The worst thing about this whole idiotic memo non-flap flap is what it is doing to the long term credibility of all bloggers, in particular, conservatives.
