Jock Stirrup: Chief of the UK's Defense Staff!

Reality, often worse than fiction.

:rofl:

This would be in reference to the hearing from the UK now on C-SPAN 2.

1. For reals?

Wow... I thought that was surely some bizarre undergarment popular among a subset of gay men.

2. I was going to post about Jock Stirrup

I laughed out loud when I saw the name of the British Defense Minister on C-SPAN last night. I even jotted the name down on my notepad so I wouldn't forget.

Another name I wrote down was "Javier Sanchez." There's nothing remarkable about the name itself. But that was the name of a guest on the Neil Cavuto show. He came on and bitched about immigration. He was billed as "Javier Sanchez, New Mexico resident."

That's it. He wasn't a journalist, a government official, an academician, nothing. Just a New Mexico resident that came on and peddled the Cavuto/O'Reilly line on immigration. Very, very odd, even by Faux Noise standards.

Jock Stirrup and Javier Sanchez, tonight's Worst Persons In The Wooooorrrrld!

;)

3. Yeah, the second I saw it I had to post it!

4. Remember Buck Turgidson -- Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?

"I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed, Mr. President!
but I do guarantee no more than 50 million casualties, tops."

5. Not only that - he's the uncle of a DUer
