Veteran Sues After Being Called Up For Duty -- If you don't want me to think a draft is coming, then don't pull shit like this. That man has been out of the military for thirteen years. He is a civilian. If they call him up, it is not a backdoor draft, it's a freaking draft.

Bush strategist Karl Rove takes victory lap after election win -- Shut up, Karl Rove. *seethes*

Parishioners Lock Church to Back Gun-Toting Priest -- Angry parishioners chained shut a church in central Mexico on Friday in protest at the firing of their priest, whose habit of tucking a gun under his robes has earned him fame and the nickname "Padre Pistolas." And this movie hasn't been made yet ... why, exactly?

Read a book, get oral sex? -- And everybody in high school thought the bookworms weren't worth nailing. *eg*

Santa Claus Can't Get a Flu Shot -- Uh, call me crazy, but unless you want a fat, bearded Typhoid Mary on your hands, wouldn't it be a good idea to give a flu shot to the guy who's going to be in contact with hundreds if not thousands of small children over the holidays? Just a thought.

And now for movie trailer links ...

Cars -- Pixar's newest. Eh, not bad. I guess. (I'm not a big car person anyway, so ...)

Spanglish -- This is either going to be really good, or it's really going to suck. It's just one of those movies that you can tell could go either way.

Ocean's Twelve -- You know, half of the fun of these movies is that it looks like they just showed up one weekend, had a few drinks, and filmed a movie. I'm just saying. :)

I was on active duty for three years, followed by about five years on Inactive Ready Reserve. Combined, those two time frames and my time in the Delayed Entry Program comprise the time span of my eight year contract. Back in March, I was given (mailed) my Honorable Discharge certificate, along with a memo with a little additional info. Quoting the memo: "As you no longer have any military status, your records are no longer held by the Army."

If his circumstances are even remotely like that, then I don't blame him one bit for suing them. Especially with them calling him back after thirteen years...
