DADT FINALLY looks more like it did back when it was first implemented, before all of the paranoid rumor investigations and unreasonable pursuits began, and both Sec.

from dickmorris.com
From a top level source in the House comes the news that the Democrats are still short of the 216 votes they need to pass Obamacare. They have decided, however, to go for broke on Sunday and attempt to pass it whether or not they have enough support. They feel that only by forcing a vote can the force members off the fence. They hope that by employing all means at their disposal, they can round up enough votes for passage. But, if they don't have the votes, they will allow the measure to be defeated. One source called it a "suicide run."

Elizabeth lake is really a deep pond on a fault line referred to as a sag pond. The first settlers were of Spanish descent and the priests
claimed the lake was haunted by a fire breathing dragon that belonged to the Devil.The ranchers claimed the dragon would come out at night - eat some of the of the cattle then set ranches & outbuildings on fire with his fiery breath.One rancher,Don Miguel Leonis stood up to the creature claimed the lake was haunted by a fire breathing dragon that belonged to the Devil.The ranchers claimed the dragon would come out at night
When his bullets bounced off the creature,Don Miguel yelling and growling like a bear charged & hit the creature in the nose with his rifle
The creature returned to the lake to recover from his wound then several days later flew away to Arizona or so goes the legend.
