Putting the M in Moron
In case you've missed it, here's one of the two photos that a female member of the Wisconsin National Guard posted to Instagram that have her in 'hot water'.
Specialist Terry Harrison put the caption "we put the fun in funeral" on the above photo. The other one she posted is just as objectionable. Why? Because honor guard is a sacred duty. There are some military personnel on active duty who are saying that "she was just blowing off steam" and that may be true. But it isn't a valid excuse.
Honor guard is a voluntary duty. Serving in the military is voluntary. When you raise your right hand and take the oath of enlistment, and then volunteer to be in an honor guard; you're making a commitment. A commitment to excellence. To handle your duties, particularly at the funeral of a fallen comrade in arms, with professionalism.
The Army's 3rd Infantry Regiment, known as "The Old Guard", provides honor guards for Army funerals in the Washington, D. C. area. They also provide the soldiers who guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I'm certain that some of them still repeat this little ditty to themselves from time to time at funerals (but definitely not so that anyone outside of the funeral detail can hear it):
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, let's bury this bastard and get back on the bus."
What soldiers say to one another, out of earshot of others, is blowing off steam and it isn't a problem. Posting photographs that disrespect the duties of an honor guard is a problem.
I'm still amazed at the utter stupidity of people who post things they shouldn't on the internet and then are surprised at the backlash that comes their way.

I got paid an unusual compliment yesterday and it has me smiling today, even though I'm thoroughly exhausted. One of the tasks we're charged with on the job is making "thank you calls" to our clients after we've served them. I was making those calls yesterday and one of my clients thanked me and then said "this is going to sound bizarre, but the wife and I actually look forward to tax time now. It's fun. We have great conversations about something we all enjoy and at the same time you do a great job with our taxes."
This particular couple shares my love of the movies. So to while away the time as I input their information and ask the myriad of questions that are part of the interview, we talk about films we've seen. We compare them to other films. We had a great conversation about which few remakes were actually worth making again; and which films should never be remade under any circumstance.
After the phone conversation was over, I thought about how much fun I have doing what I do. I'm grateful that I get to work at something I enjoy.

Should an 84 year old nun spend nearly three years in prison for breaking into one of the federal government's nuclear storage facilities and defacing it? Tough call. They knew the risks when they chose to commit civil disobedience.
When Susan B. Anthony chose to vote in an election, she knew she might go to prison. What would have happened to the patriots who chose to destroy that tea in Boston's harbor, had they been caught? Hanging? Long prison terms? I watched 438 people get arrested for trespassing at the Nevada Nuclear Test Site, all willing to go to jail in order to let their message be heard, some 25+ years ago.
What I can't fathom is why people think that acts of civil disobedience should be punished any differently than other violations of the same law. Laws, and the penalties for violating them exist for a purpose. That the act of continuing to possess nuclear material that can be used to make weapons of mass destruction may be considered reprehensible and horrific by many doesn't excuse the action of protest through civil disobedience. Go ahead and protest, but be prepared to pay the price that government may require you to pay.
If your conscience demands you protest by breaking a law...

Recently I was trying to have a civil discussion with someone who has a very polarized view of political issues, on a specific topic. The issue involved how Costco is able to pay excellent wages and still have more profit growth than its #1 competitor, Sam's Club, i.e., Walmart.
I wasn't using Costco as proof that the minimum wage needs to be increased. Instead I was trying to advance the argument that paying higher wages and benefits can voluntarily lead to increased productivity, worker loyalty; and improve the bottom line.
The other party in the discussion resorted to ad hominem personal attacks because they couldn't defeat my argument with facts and/or logic, but that's not what is important. What is important is that now that discussion is turning to a broad increase in the minimum wage, the question is would it result in the same thing for other businesses?
The answer is no. That doesn't mean that shareholders in corporations shouldn't be arguing for paying better wages in the U. S., even if it means reduction in outsourcing and smaller earnings/profits in the short run.
The continuing disappearance of the middle class from the U. S. is doing something that the media isn't really paying attention to. The effect is to shape the available audience for products and services offered by business into a barbell. Those aimed at the lowest income earning families will continue to do well by gouging and abusing them. Those aimed at the highest income earning families will continue to do well, by catering to an audience who doesn't have to look at price tags before making decisions. It is the products and services aimed at this eroding middle class that are losing their potential customer base as more and more people find themselves unemployable at the wages they used to earn.
Olive Garden and Red Lobster cater to that market. They've reported sharp drops in earnings. Nordstrom's profits are up. J. C. Penney is at risk of collapsing. Target profits are falling through the floor. Walmart is actually projecting reductions in its profits because of cuts in the food stamp program.
I read recently about a restaurant that adds a 3% surcharge to the check, and uses the money to provide health benefits to all employees. That's a good thing. So is paying a better wage and thusly cutting turnover, training costs and improving productivity. Not because there's a higher minimum wage, but because it is a smart thing to do.

Random Ponderings:
Now that Mel Gibson's ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigerovia has filed for bankruptcy, I bet she wishes she'd have accepted the $15 million settlement he once offered her.
Colorado is making more than expected from the sale of legalized pot. Federal government, take note.
Curling is among the 12 events the U. S. has never won an Olympic gold medal in. Maybe that has something to do with the level of interest in curling in the U. S. Then again, we can't even qualify a team for the team handball event in the Summer Olympics. We only took part in 1996 because the host nation gets in automatically.
The Liberal Gun Club? Really?
Wonder if Divine Brown is on Hugh Grant's Christmas card list?
I'm not surprised at least one of the jurors in the Dunn trial wanted to see him convicted of murder. It was a hung jury after all.
The man in China who tried to commit suicide by jumping into the tiger enclosure at the zoo apparently wasn't bothered by how much it must hurt to be rendered limb from limb by a big jungle cat (he was rescued before he could be harmed).
Yes, that was Elaine Stritch dropping the F-bomb on NBC's "Today" show.
People shouldn't be freaked out over Capital One's announcement that they are giving themselves the right to visit you to collect debts. Notify them in writing that under the provisions of 15 U.S. Code § 1692 that your employer prohibits you from being contacted at work regarding personal matters. Then if they call you at work or show up there, they will be in violation of the law and you can report them.
The McDonald's franchisee who fired an employee because she paid for food for first responders is a blithering idiot.
I have sympathy for pit bull owners who are becoming homeless rather than giving up their dogs.
