    No “drive-bys” tonight. NOT because it’s a slow news day. Just that nothing sprang to my attention…

      There was a neat piece on Facebook about the 173rd doing a parachute drop,of equipment in a Germany training exercise. Three rigged humvees fell out of the sky at about 1800 feet when their rigging failed. They made a neat poof of dust and smoke when thry dug in.
      Unit I was with in Tennessee in the late 60s (AF) was developing the LAPES/PLADS systems on the 463L plstforms so we put a lot of test loads into the dirt but one would assume some 50 years later, after they’d smoothed out the bumps and handed it over to the Army, you wouln’t have three expensive real stuff dead-ducking from plane to plain. Brought bavk memories…
      I’d have pisted the link but the video was taken by GIs on the ground watching the drop so the audio’s expectedly a bit…rough. Not a drive-by, more like a fly-bye.

    Someone’s upset with the name of the Robert E Lee elementary school in Austin, TX. The school district decided that the school needed a new name, not one that honored a Confederate general, so the board decided to have the school’s parents submit suggestions for a new name. Top suggestion (45 votes) was Donald Trump with Robert E Lee coming in second. Some other top picks were: Austin Taliban Elementaty School, Ann Rand Elementary, Bleeding Heart Liberal Elementary, Adolf Hitler School for Friendship and Tolerance and, my favorite, Drew Brees Elementary. Humor in the face of diversity.

      This guy must have a whole team ready to render Reconciliation at the drop of a miter. I pray that the Christians he threw to the lions aren’t harmed by the good Moslems he seems to prefer. Then again, as his self-serving PR stunt may have backfired his spin team may be hunting them as we speak to spirit them away to someplace where their fates can’t hurt his image.

    The regulation will only allow daycare centers to serve juice once a day, will ban fried foods, and encourages centers to not add honey to a child’s yogurt.

    The regulation is a result of the 2010 law aimed at school lunches, a top priority of Mrs. Obama’s Let’s Move anti-obesity initiative. The government hopes the new rule will “help children build healthy habits.”

    “This final rule updates the meal pattern requirements for the Child and Adult Care Food Program to better align them with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, as required by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010,” the final rule states. “This rule requires centers and day care homes participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program to serve more whole grains and a greater variety of vegetables and fruit, and reduces the amount of added sugars and solid fats in meals.”

    Wait:

    “…The government said it will allow daycare centers to break the rules for special occasions like birthdays, but urged centers to “use discretion.”

    Every day is someone’s birthday, Your Majesty. We will therefore break the rules every day. We’ll even come up with 365 leftists’ birthdays. Like Lenin’s just the other day.

    School cafeteria head: “Hey, we can break the rules today! Happy Birthday, Melania Trump!”

    Excellent article at American Thinker today.

    http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/04/the_postmodern_roots_of_leftist_policy.html

    It reminded me of when I was in my twenties, when I read Sophie’s World, three times, like a sponge.

    I went to a mostly black school with in a Chicago-Hijra country town, with a mostly black school board. The only western philosopher we were exposed to was Jack Squat.

    Then I remembered, in my thirties, I was reading and trying to understand this one:
