#1 "We were on, I would argue, public property," he said. "Anybody could go there and get gasoline; anybody could go there and visit the two museums."

Here's my test. Could I erect a monument to the 10 Commandments at the same spot? Or would I be told by a federal judge to remove it? I think we know the answer. There's a difference between public access and public display.

#2 Max Obuszewski? Whaddaya know? Somebody I knew made it to the big time - a mention on Rantburg.

See, I went to high school with him (my nom de burg is the name of our sports teams.) He graduated a year ahead of me. His brother was our class clown - who served six years in the Marine Corps as RIO (back seat driver) of an F-4.

Max has been a "peace" activist for many years - constantly protesting and stirring up trouble. Funny, he doesn't seem to want to go to North Korea and protest their warlike actions, or any other country in the world. He only picks on America. Of course, in America, unlike in a true dictatorship, he is free to express his opinions. It is only when he crosses a line and enters a military site that he gets arrested. At most he will have to pay a fine, or spend a few days in jail. In other countries he would have been beatn or shot on the spot, or simply disappeared.

#3 Ah, my old office with its nasty government-green walls, 3rd floor over in the A...

I still remember when they were building both of those shiny ops buildings and President Reagan came to dedicate 1A. We used to joke they were put there so the Soviets could set their SLBM warhead aiming points a bit more neatly.

Nostalgia.
