Endless War Memorial

Memorial Day 2010



Peacetime Perils

Once the shuttle program ends, the United States will rely on Russian Soyuz rockets to carry its astronauts to the space station until a commercial US launcher can be developed. That is scheduled for 2015.




Tomb on the Known Politician

Paul Wellstone was a contender... what happened?



I'm with Cindy

The 1,000 U.S. military death occurred in a roadside bombing Friday – just before the Memorial Day weekend when America honors the dead in all its wars.

Harping the News

Egg of the Tiger

Now that the attention is off the Woodsmeiter, it is noticeable to mention how the news of Tiger's indiscretion was attached to that 911 call playback. The news cycle rang with distraction to the scripted narrative. What was the real news that got under-reported that week?



Good Ship Belly-Up

Trust the news cyclers to construct happy endings of sound bites to regurgitate later. What better diversion than the shocking acts of nature unfolding ever more frequently to pique our curious addiction to the news on teevee. With mines collapsing and volcanoes erupting, eyeballs are guaranteed to the commercialists.



We Interrupt this Blog

It is with esteemed regret that the Swampstyle family offers it's sincere condolences to the Polish people for the loss of their President and other officials in that terribly unexplainable plane crash in Russian bad weather.



Fasten Your Sweat-Belt

Life is loaded with surprises, some good most less than great and very direct.
The idea that bad weather can cause calamity is little understood yet well accepted, it is the ultimate excuse, therefore insurance does not cover acts of nature.




Crazy Bang Boom

What is it with mother nature these days %^&*$#@
If it weren't for one disaster after another lately, one might swear she is in need of comfort. The globalwarming deniers digress but can't deny that the earth is erupting in a weaponized fashion for no discernable reason.




Ice + Fire = Ash

We interrupt this interruption to bring you up to speed, everything is corroding!
The planet has always been a swampy stew, simmering in the cosmic embers of the eons.
But now we have the hand of man stirring a caldron of calamities.




ultra light super strong

Spewing from one of the coldest and most dormant place on earth, the billowing clouds of volcanic ash are proof positive that mobility is under assault. Natures fury has brought commercial air travel to a sooty delay. The ash particles are a lethal dose of super-fine lighter-than-air dust, tons of it. Scientists are in a tiff for not knowing when the volcano will simmer down. Europe is in a mobility mobius over mother natures acne while the media construe for their bosses.




Where No Journalist Will Go Again

You know there are unspoken truths out there, top ten unreported stories. Every year certain news is pushed under the rubble of rhetoric, the media mirror of our mortal realm reflects the fiber of our consensus. Time marches on to a familiar drumbeat that we are comfortable with.




Buzz Light Years

When president Obama spoke to the Space Program recently, we heard reassuring words that NASA will get bloated with billions to further our quest for harnessing the physical world as we know it. With the Space Shuttles getting cashed as clunkers and the Space Station in foreclosure, it's high time to call on the professionals... calling Captain Buzz A. and his crew.




Friends with Larry King

There are things that only presidents, Snoop Dog and guys who have walked on the moon can know. They know material fact but can not share them with public.
For example, they know how to harness the power of the mainstream media to get right into your living room.




Cape Canaveral Crazy

Did you know that plans are well underway to harness the power of nature as a weapon of unimaginable terror. The ability to transmit beams of energy that create plasma fields and magnetic storms is now a reality called HAARP.




That's Not Funny

The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program is a catchy name for the very ominous and destructive new technology in our arsenal of deterrents.



Play the Harp ?

The biggest array of Beam Weapons in the world is in Alaska. No other country has such capability. These jumbles of wired antennas pack a whopping zap of bandwidth blast delivered with GPS precision. Do not wear your tin foil hat when visiting HAARP.




Star Whores

Ever wonder why one group would build a contraption that could coerce and twist mother nature to cause more death and destruction than she does already?
Because they can.



Snow-Job Security

Everything looks better from inside a snow-globe. Most people accept the official reports of disasters, natural or man-made, even though there remain nagging questions and inconsistencies with the facts.




Push Back-Space

How long have we had these so called Beam Weapons?
Who's had their finger on button of believability?
Will the mainstream media please report.

What is Swampy?

Bang Zoom, to the Swamp!

Just a short road-trip north from the Latin-Manhattan that is Miami you will find the seaside town of Coco Beach where the classic TV show "I dream of Jeannie" was filmed. The story begins with an unsuspecting astronaut who finds a washed up bottle on the beach, takes it home and opens it to reveal, shazzam, one hottie of a genie, who becomes something of a wife, tormentor, deliverer of wishes, and a threat to the entire space program. The central task for our hapless space cadet was to keep the genie in the bottle, or at best home n barefoot.



Out of the Bottle, into the Swamp.

Just north of Coco Beach, anchored on the very swamp that gave birth to Barbara Eden's irresistible TV character is Cape Canaveral home for the Kennedy Space Center and the epicenter of the Shuttle/Scuttle Program. If I had to find something that typifies what is Swampstyle, look no further than our very own space program.



UP UP and AWAYYYYYYYYY

Nothing beats the thunder and lightning of a rocket launch. Packing a punch and boom that can tremor through the bones of even the most jaded spectator, every launch is a huge thing. Danger and Beauty are synonymous with the swamp and since the days of our putting a man on the Moon, NASA space program is also totally dangerous and beautiful.




Don't Mess with this Extension of an Identity.

For obnoxious people who lust for wartime stuff like Hummers, how's bout the next generation of peacetime heavy personal transport vehicle to rule the swampways. Can you name other stuff we use everyday courtesy of Space R & D.




Practice Makes Perfectionists.

Imagine going to work, suiting up and jumping in a giant pool filled with tools n toys, yippie thats swampstyle.



Nothing Rhymes with Orange.

There is nothing that can compare to the thrill of leaving this planet and looking back from space to see just how blue it is, just how commanding the energy of gravity is how it keeps us in orbit pulls us back, just like the swamp.




Is there a human in there?

The vacuum of space is a most inhospitable place as is the bug infested swamp, but we are compelled to go there with the dreams of finding our own genie in a bottle... or the perfect donut.



To Go Where No Donut has Gone Before.

Space really is the final frontier, but there is Inner and Outer space, if you know what i mean.
Another TV show i grew up watching was Star Trek, probably just the best space kitsch ever.
All that next generation stuff is nice but the original will always be as swampy as it gets.



Pointy-headed Logic Extraordinair.

Father of all nerds Dr Spock, please come to the emergency room... bring your music. The ears, the hair, the vulcan salutation, all very swampy.



Captain Phallus to the Raunch Pad.

Yes he is still the captain even after all those sorry ass TV commercials for hotel room deals and such. William Shatner's signature sly smile is also swampy.



If I die, Please put my ass in a gold box and send it up to Space.



Top Secret Super Sensitive Cargo.

Yes nothing is safe from you know-it-alls out there.
Now you know what is swampy.



Next installment, I will tell you what is NOT swampy, like you don't already know.
