I work with people who gleefully engage in the most tasteless and offensive humor (and to be honest, so do I), and honestly, the worst thing they've said is that Trip is the smartest one in the Palin family.

"For the sake of everyone's daughter, why doesn't his super PAC return the $1 million he got from a rabid misogynist?"

Some of the more idiotic right-wing blogs have somehow gotten it into their heads that she's completely fake, and is "really a 30 year-old Democratic operative, and NOT A 23-YEAR OLD LAW STUDENT!!!" I'm not sure where they got the "she's claiming to be 23" from, since everything I can find lists her birth year as…

Hang out in the comments section of places like Yahoo! and YouTube, where the "I'm going to be a huge racist asshole from the safety of the internet" types hang out.

Is that what those are supposed to be? I used to DRIVE a freaking M3A3 Bradley when I was in the Army, and I didn't recognize that blocky mess.

Or there's just guys that won't condoms, and are dumb enough to risk an STD or paying 18 years of child support because "WAAAAH! IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT!"

Quite a few of the "townies" that live in the dead-end towns that sprawl around Southern or Midwestern military bases do exactly that. They can't afford college, didn't qualify for a scholarship, and their only career options are working a middling contractor job on the base, Denny's waitress or working at Wal-Mart.

IIRC, the Bioware Signature Edition was the same price as the standard edition, and there was plenty of copies available.

Pre-emptive schadenfreude?

Alice Cooper is a die-hard Republican, so he'd probably let Newton use his songs. I think "Welcome to My Nightmare" would be appropriate.

The U.S. military uses the day/month/year format (along with the metric system). It's written as a two digit date (with a leading zero, if necessary) three letter month, and two digit year.

Mini-Guns (and multi-barreled rotary cannons in general) are not "chain guns." Chain guns are single-barrelled, large-caliber automatic cannons that require a chain drive to load the enormous shells into the breech, the extract the spent casings. The M242 Bushmaster on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and the 30mm on…

Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir, Catherine the Great, Queen Elizabeth, Indira Ghandhi, Madeline Albright, and Hillary Clinton would like a word...

No, the military basically classifies the various actual "jobs" into different categories. Combat Arms, Combat Support, and Combat Service Support.

That's mostly the dye, not the pattern. You have to wash them in certain detergents (like Woolite), or else it will wear off, and create a weird "moonglow" effect. I was in the Army when we switched from the green BDUs (Battle Dress Uniform) to the grey ACU (Army Combat Uniform).

I was a Cavalry Scout in an Army recon battalion, and I served a combat tour in Iraq. I saw my fair share of combat. I personally don't like the commercials, simply because I find the banter between Jonah Hill and Avatar guy annoying.

Is there unlockable content that transfers to the PC/Xbox/PS3 version of Arkham City?

Yep. Even his macho photos from his Air Force career are staged phonies. He was a C-130 Hercules pilot, which is a extremely useful, but rather un-sexy propeller-driven cargo plane.

The only real difference is whether or not its stamped ARMY, NAVY, or USMC. The Army never officially issued the ARMY version, it was sold commercially. Army guys would have to buy it out-of-pocket at the Post Exchange or the Gear Queer store off-post. You'd also get mercilessly mocked for being as a Marine…

I was in an Army RSTA battalion. Dudes who rocked Ka-Bars got mercilessly mocked as wanna-be Jarheads. Especially since we got issued Benchmade Auto-Strykers, in addition to M9 bayonets.
