**A note from Steve: For the remainder of this week and next due to serious editing work (with my second book and other editing junk) I will not be blogging but intend on making my rounds. Meanwhile, get to know GSG below. I will be back hopefully by late next week sometime.Well, can't be any worse than those pics that mysteriously made it on the web! I love trolls! They taste just like chicken!
I like the name of your blog, “Great Satan’s Girlfriend.” It’s so darned original. I’d have thought that if Great Satan were a woman I’d hit on her too, but that’s not the point. So when are you and the Great Satan getting married? Could there ever possibly be a divorce?
Thanks. I just wanted it to be provocative -- a really in your face type thing. Since certain elements refer to America as the Great Satan - I thought it would be cool to take it and run with it, embrace all they hate and fear and promote it - fun and free choice. Essentially - America is a force for good - always has been.
A really big influence was and remains Bevin Alexander's "How America Got It Right" Great Satan is the only one of Her kind. This book will make everyone want to be an American. It should be the required text for all schools worldwide. It shows that America is a noble nation - the most benign, the most beneficent and to intolerant regimes and their fan boys - the most deadly.
GrEaT sAtAn"S gIrLfRiEnD revels in it. Proud that America is hated by girl fearing rocket rich rejects, facebook frightened regimes or time traveling militias that provide zero services for their people, lose every war they start and would never hold a real election.
Laughingly undiplomatic that the same cats who brought the world Greenday, Gitmo, Fergie Ferg and Abu Grahib can also deliver the most humanitarian, high tech, all weather killers of killers in world history into YOUR hood - if the need or even opportunity arises. Plus - despite all the faux anti Americanism - Great Satan is still the destination of choice for people all around the world.Do you smoke Galoises, wear green shaded lipstick to match your eyes, or revel in your abandon watching exceedingly dull French movies that no one has ever even heard of? This is a crucial question; one of our leftist blog commenters who hosts no blog of his own probably has a dire need to know the answer to this.
Yes, yes, menthol and yes. Not especially - though I do have a weakness for Vanilla flavored pipe tobacco - not smoking - just like the aroma. I don't really get to watch too many movies or TV - though I have been accused of wearing out a copy of "Midway" I just love Admiral Nogumo's line "All these torpedo planes can't be coming from one American Carrier!"
Most bloggers are typically driven or influenced to start off blogging with some big world event. Could you tell us what got you into blogging? Was it boredom?
No - it was all the defeatism out there. "The War is lost" or "The military is broken, stretched thin." I knew this wasn't true. I had family members who were in Iraq and they were not so convinced it was all for naught. I knew America suffered 22k casualties on Okinawa in 6 weeks and didn't freak out or give up. I knew my American history - and I wanted to provide an alternate world view. Plus I really wanted to confront and challenge certain schools of thought.
GrEaT sAtAn’S gIrLfRiEnD was originally started because I saw so many incorrect, boring, weak hand-wringing echo chambers on line that seemed historically ignorant - either openly defeatist, critical of America (to a degree that never seemed applied to any other nation) or were covert inappropriate hand-wringing echo chambers that really, really tried to convince people that America wouldn’t be here next week. She was doomed!
You have said that “America ain’t what’s wrong with the world.” Then pray tell us, what is? Fire away, sister. We know it isn’t Islam, right?
In a word? Autocracies. Anywhere that lacks egalitarianism and tolerance, an open, uncensored press, an independent judiciary, periodic transparent elections, rule of law, protection of private property, freedom of religion, freedom from religion, a military under civilian control and a Nat’l Treasury under public scrutiny, unfiltered access to the web is a problem spot.
Kommen Sie aus Deutschland oder ist es durch familie? Wenn ja welches teil von Deutschland entsteht ihre familie? In English please so that the others may understand, and I do not get further confused. I don’t think they know German as much as you do oder me. I actually suck at German as you can see here.
Yeah, well mein Deutsch is actually worse than my French and English! Actually, Osterreich, around the Wein area though we have some family in Germany proper like Regensburg, Nurnburg, Bad Tolz. Think we came over way back - some made it over after Red Army devoured Austria - real refugees - that settled here and thanked God every day for America.
Should we invade Iran, or should we just let Israel do it alone? Is the time ripe for a good ol’ dropping of several bunker busters onto Natanz? How would you handle Iran if you had it your way?
Well, way too much to cover here but there is an idea floating out there about de-capping the leadership and critical commands without invading.
A case could be made for killing the regime. Launch a massive blitz on the top 20% of Iran's ruling clerics and praetorian Revo Guards. Since January of this year - the Gay Free Republic has gathered their top leadership three different times at the same place and time. They never did that during 43's trip - so the target set is available.
Iran's street enforcers - the Beseeji - are summoned with text and cell phone calls. "OK ya'll. Big protest at Prophet Square assemble at 1730 hours and disperse them." So fake them out and take them out - send them to a pre determined impact area.
Iran's air defense systems are perhaps best described as "feisty yet spineless," her conventional military capabilities are embarrassing and expert Francois Heisbourg's "Iran: Choix des Armes" claims within 5 days or less Iran would be defeated and SCREAMING for a cease fire.
As we peruse through some of your blog photos of what may be you and some of your sisters, friends, or whomever they may be, some of us noticed (well, I did) that you may be younger than we’d expect of a blogger on the intelligence level you’re at now. BUT THIS IS OK. Typically people your age are out there partying with beer and funnels, and couldn’t give a rat’s bottom what’s happening in our world. I mean, I, the person who knows everything and possesses complete worldly knowledge, completely is aware that you’re young, innocent, never drank a day in your life, and you probably study a lot while your college buddies are partying their behinds off. How does this affect your social life while you maintain such a wonderfully well managed blog whilst trapped in a college dorm with no car to go anywhere and nothing but a JC Penney catalog where you can search for the latest fashions in frantic fervor?
Ha ha ha. Well, being hot, funny, smart and fashionably cultured bears certain costs. Actually - I was the miracle baby. Me 'rents were ready to settle down and enjoy being me maw and paw paw and then "Hello!" They told me for years my real name was either 'Oops! or 'Uh Oh!'
I have nieces and nephews older than me, so it seemed like I was always around grown ups. I learned to pick my battles, when to bow to absurdity and plot my revenge.
Luckily, despite collegiate concerns, I manage to party way too much, and generally do not tolerate stuff that conflicts with my - frankly - hedonistic lifestyle!
So tell us your last name and the story about it. Ok, I have something to say of great, significant, and coincidental nature. Did you know that my grandmother is extremely familiar with your last name? She was running down a hill with a bucket of coal and my 7 year old mother in tow, maneuvering to get away from something related to your last name in Clydebank Scotland trying to make it to the bomb shelter. Good thing she survived. I might not have been here asking you these questions of complete and utterly significant importance!
Dang! Glad they made it!
What is your current major in college? Is it related to your blog in any way? I have a feeling it might be, so go ahead and embarrass me and tell us your major is in “the history of quilting” and that you are really a socio-cultural historian feminista bent on destroying the outcome of many aspiring young military-political historians through boring nonsensical videos on quilt-making and learning about why Estonian boiled sheep-sausage making was vitally important to the economy there.
Have you ever traveled abroad? If so, where, and what did you do while being there? Were you caught in the act of doing anything wrong? And, if you flew on British Airways, did you remember to ride the “London Eye” for free, or did you pay for it in cash? NOTHING HELD AGAINST YOU provided you do not reveal to any of them that this happened to me.
Yeah. Used to quite a bit. Europe, Middle East. Got ran out of Lebanon in the crazy Retarded Rocket War of 06 Hiz'B'Allah's creepy body part collector general started.
Great Britain was really cool. Saw all the touristry stuff and people loved the accent.
I get into trouble all the time - on the road or not. My most appealing super power is the ability to totally PO people just by breathing.
"Ah. You Americans. You have so much of everything"I mean, COME ON. Don’t you think it’s astutely irresponsible to discuss military coups in your blog during this grand time in our nation’s historical and climactic upheavals through being led by a village idiot born outside of the United States, or are you trying to send a signal to some general we don’t know who is about to launch an attack on the White House? You can tell us; we can keep a secret.
Actually, I think Pentagon did do a PR coup of sorts about the McChrystal AFPAK stuff. The "How To Stage A Military Coup" essay was mainly a coded signal about striking the regime in Iran.
So tell us about the music you like. If you could play a song in the background of your blog, what would it be, and why? Mister Beamish plays music on his blog, and it annoys me, especially if I am at work and my volume is up. It makes people look at me funny. He can be a real nuisance at times. Would you want to disturb me like that? Just a thought, I think your blog song should be Hall of the Mountain King by Grieg, or maybe even Flight of the Valkyries by Wagner. Avoid the use of Bruce Springsteen’s music. We won’t come to your blog. But if it is Black Sabbath, both Beamish and I will be there. Yes, Always On Watch will be there too, but she knows the secret of VOLUME CONTROL.
Tell us your thoughts on the importance of strategic cash reserves, and how you manage consistently to have lots of cash on hand all of the time. Do you agree with the current statist economy we’re in, which is based on Fiat Money?
Fortunately, there is an entire class of citizens out there that don't mind parading eye candy around for a trip to Chili's, the mall or wherever. And often they insist on doing the spending - so it is a blessing no doubt!
If you could describe Ronald Reagan in one word, please do so. Also, please describe in one word, Barack Obama.
One word - ummm Ok for 40 it would be optimistic. 44 is scary.
You discussed the reunification of Germany in your blog. How did you feel about the Berlin Wall? Was it necessary? Those Commie bastards. Beakerkin will tell you all about the Communists.
Well, from DDR (East Germany)'s position - the wall was vital. Nearly 350,000 people split in 18 months before it was built so in order to actually retain Soviet Union's crown jewel and war spoils the exit of folks had to be stopped.
The Wall was cruel, evil and a gigantic billboard to prove that totalitarianism - of any kind - totally sucks.
What’s your favorite football team? Mine is the Detroit Lions. You got something against that? If you had free tickets to a Detroit Lions game, would you drive all the way from Virginia to Detroit to see this spectacle, even if it meant you were passing up the opportunity to play with your band at a party hosted by a famous writer who lives here in Virginia? (HINT: the famous writer is not me. YET).
Well, I just recently learned that Super Bowl and World Series are two entirely different critters so I could probably pick out different MiG combat jets easier than figuring out if the Braves were a football team or not.
Jungle Mom (who we think quite literally lives in a jungle hut in Paraguay taking care of the native apes that swing in vines there and steal unfrosted strawberry pop tarts) wanted to know where you got your cool cap from? I like it too. Beamish had one, but it was stolen.
I think I picked it up at a shop between Grafenwöhr and Nürnberg. Might have been at Eschenbach. I still have it somewhere, hidden beneath all the dossiers, strike plans and Fajar 5 missile parts scattered about my lair.
Blogger Jen (Cheese in My Shoe) wanted to know how someone so smart like you could ever like Britney Spears. Hey, I’m up there with a good IQ and I like Britney Spears too for all the obvious reasons, so let it all loose here!
Oh, I love Britney! She was a really big influence on girls! She was a HUGE influence - like she taught all us little 9, 10 and 11yo girls it was totally cool to dress like a hoochie, act like a hoochie and not really be a hoochie. To dance all around the fire and never get burned. Of course - it never works out that way, but she really gave us confidence to try it!
Mmmmm. Oatcakes.
In a few words, sum up how YOU would solve the palestinian problem (don’t fret, it’s deliberately not capitalized). If it were me, the folk who make RAID would be rich.
Ok - I gotta tell you - Palestine is really a button pusher for me personally.
I had just turned 11yo. Being home schooled at the time - the drill was pretty much the same - get up early -- knock out a few chores -- grab Bfast in front of the TV and then submit to beneficient despotic control freaks who despised fun of any kind.
One Tuesday though, breakfasting on Cap'n Crunch Berries - all the channels were showing the same thing. And it was ungodly. I tried to scream and instantly choked and strangled myself.People were JUMPING out of buildings. Mercifully - the shocked anchors cut away to their man in Gaza. And there they were - smoking, joking, passing out laffy taffy and celebrating the death of innocents thousands of miles away.
Massive research on Palestine led me to create the term 'Palestinian Sympathy Fatigue"Time is….UP. You may turn your filled in form to the gentleman standing behind you in the green shed.
Dang. You guys are always finishing up first! Thanks so much for the opportunity. mWaH!
Thanks very much, GSG. And now, a break for some of our Jonesin' commenters. But before we go, I entice all of you to visit GSG's latest posting. I love scenarios!
