    Robert Conrad and Mike Hoare in one day? Damn.

    Even sadder was reading about Conrads DUI accident from a few years back which led to the death of a 26 year old victim and greatly contributed to his own. Clearly being a merc is good, clean living that promises longevity if you can get to it.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    Here's a music video from Mad Mike days, NSFW or weak stomachs. I really can't believe this is on youtube, watch it fast if so inclined.

    I have this Warren Zevon classic on my playlist.
    What if this whole crusade's a charade?
    And behind it all there's a price to be paid
    For the blood which we dine
    Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…

    Wars in Africa, still going strong.

    At least a dozen by my count right now. With a couple more potentially on the way, after or during some elections.
