Anonymous Sources Have Taken Every Parking Space Used By Washington Post For Secret Meetings

Onion: ‘Washington Post’ Reporter Frustrated Every Space In Parking Garage Taken Up By Anonymous Source

WASHINGTON—Circling every level multiple times with no luck whatsoever, Washington Post reporter Philip Rucker was frustrated Tuesday that every space in the parking garage was taken up by an anonymous source.

“I’ve gone around and around, but I can’t find a single spot that isn’t already filled by an unidentified White House leaker,” said an exasperated Rucker, who recalled how easy it was to nab a prime parking place to clandestinely receive privileged information only a few short years ago.

“It’s such a nightmare driving all the way to the very top of the whole fucking structure to hold a secret meeting with an informant and then have to squeeze into a spot reserved for compact cars that another journalist who’s meeting with a whistle-blower is halfway parked in anyway.

Seriously, I have to start scheduling these rendezvous earlier, because as soon as dusk settles in, you can forget it.”

At press time, Rucker was idling his car near the space occupied by a New York Times reporter who had just received a thumb drive and appeared to be wrapping things up.

The 'Force' Comes To The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower

Task & Purpose: Star Wars Parody From Navy Carrier Shows The Force Is Strong With This One

The crew of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower took their love of “Star Wars” to impressive lengths with a spot-on spoof.

While many are excited for the upcoming film “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” our staff included, the sailors aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower have taken their enthusiasm to incredible lengths, making a spoof of the trailer. The video, called “Sea Wars: The Ike Awakens,” was uploaded to the carrier’s YouTube page on Nov. 18 and includes the trailer’s original audio with video — presumably shot by the crew — laid over.

WNU Editor: These guys and gals have way too much time on their hands. :)

Stereotype Maps: Is That What They Think Of Us? -- The Guardian

Tim Dowling is both intrigued and mildly entertained by graphic artist Yanko Tsvetkov's satirical maps of national stereotypes. Plus, see a gallery of maps from Tsvetkov's collection

There is nothing quite as obsolete as an out-of-date map: untrustworthy, suspect, politically incorrect. An atlas that still has Czechoslovakia on it may be historically interesting, but it illustrates a world that no longer exists. Change is constant: new countries spring into being, population centres shift, capitals are shunted from one place to another. With every adjustment, another map is rendered useless.

My Comment: This is hysterical. The gallery of maps from Tsvetkov's collection can be better seen here. His website .... and more maps .... is here.

Murphy’s Laws of Combat

Murphy’s Laws of Combat -- Good Shit

[put together by Marines]

If your sergeant can see you, so can the enemy.
If the enemy is within range, so are you.
Incoming fire always has the right of way.
What can be seen can be hit, what can be hit can be killed.
There is no such thing as an atheist in a firefight.

Friendly fire — isn’t.
Recoilless rifles — aren’t.
Suppressive fires — don’t.
Interchangeable parts — aren’t.

The most dangerous thing in the world is a second lieutenant with a map and a compass.

There is always a way.
The best way is never the easy way.
The easy way is always mined.
The important things are always simple; the simple things are always hard.

No combat ready unit has ever passed inspection.
No inspection ready unit has ever passed combat.

No operations plan ever survives initial contact.
There is no such thing as a perfect plan.

Sniper’s motto: “Reach out and touch someone.”
Sniper’s philosophy: “If you run, you’ll only die tired.”
