Don't know what to make of this

Hmm...looks like NASA is temporarily suspending its recognition of
Eagle Scouts and Gold Girl Scouts. The cynic in me has me wondering if
this order came down from BHO himself, knowing modern liberalism's war
on the Boy Scouts. Dammitt, just as my son is poised to earn his Eagle
Scout Badge too.

The last time I checked the Navy was granting a two pay grade increase
to all Eagle Scouts. The other services were granting one. That's
probably more important than any one of the score of letters one can
get except maybe from Bob Hope.

Congratulations to your son from me, my two sons and 2 grandsons who
are also Eagles.

Get Neal Armstrong on their case, he was an Eagle Scout.
He could bring along Buzz "Tenderfoot" Aldrin if there is any fighting
to be done.

Think of the horror if they had succeeded...little Nazi Girl Scouts
showing up at your door with cookies shaped like Swastikas, Stukas, and
Tiger tanks, no doubt baked over piles of burning books!
Lucky that Life Scout Indiana Jones was on our side! :-)

".looks like NASA is temporarily suspending its recognition of

It would be interesting if this is part of something larger - The NASA
budget has been criticized in the past for spending too much on special
items in the right congressman's or senator's district on things like
Planetariums, computers for the high school, scholarships to a local college
that has nothing to do with space, aircraft or engineering - you get the
idea. I wonder what else got cut.

I'm getting hungry just thinking about it - Tiger tanks in red brown and tan
striped icing with medium green sprinkles, the stukas in green over gray
icing with coconut. Maybe not too wierd - I knew a guy who did Easter eggs
with little paper wings painted like Messerschmidts and Spitfires.

If it is, Glenn Beck will warn us about it...and I'm willing to bet by
the time he gets done with it, it will be revealed as a lot more
sinister than any of us could possibly imagine.
Although we could imagine quite a bit...but not, I think, as much as
Glenn Beck.

Just avoid that "Zyklon B Gift Box" those things are killers.

I want to make sculptures out of eggs this Easter that are shaped and
painted like the Pope.
I'm going to call them Eggs Benedict. ;-)

BTW, Jon Stewart nailed Beck's ass to the floorboards last night in
one of the funniest parodies I've seen in my entire life:

Don't forget the USSR's Young Pioneers. Sadly in many countries,
scouting was/is used to train youth for paramilitary operations.
However, when I look at my own son's scout troop, I see a bunch of
nerdy 11-17 year olds who like to get outdoors. I can't imagine them
doing paramilitary anything! I was a nerdy scout type too, and if you
ask my wife, I still am!

James T. Kirk was never a Boy Scout.
And because of that, he constantly broke Scouting's rule about never
having sex with other species of life.
There is no merit badge for bestiality, although there is one for
animal husbandry.

Pat

Isn't that the same thing? He was the animal's husband for a few
minutes. :-)
(I know it isn't the same)

I was a Boy Scout overseas in Japan, council started cracking down
when we all were wearing the bush hat instead of the approved head
gear. Though they didn't say much about all the bayonets that were
carried in addition to the official Scout knives....

This was mid / late 60s, the 'Go to hell' patch might have put them
over the edge. ...

Then there was the bong at summer camp with whiskey and water with
regular tobacco..way different from the States.

Made Eagle eventually. They survived us all.
