You have reached one of the old pages on this siteI switched from Blogger to Movable Type on September 7, 2003. This page was made before that time. I'm keeping it here so that incoming links and bookmarks still work. No problem, really, just be aware that these old pages will not be updated. All of the old content was moved into Movable Type, and is accessible from the home page. We now returned to your regularly-scheduled blog. | |

Bush Mistreats the Military TALKLEFT: Bush is preventing veterans of the first Gulf War from collecting POW benefits. Congress passed and Clinton signed the bill creating the benefits, passing the cost on to Iraq. Now Bush wants to use the money rebuilding Iraq. See also the Plastic discussion.DONALD SENSING: Despite repeated promises that they were heading home, the Third Infantry is still in Iraq. Now some military officer's careers are in jeopardy for speaking out. WORKING FOR CHANGE: Bush is trying to roll back veteran's benefits. Can someone explain this to me? We've sent more than 100,000 troops overseas. Those troops are fighting a popular war that they won handily. They left their families and risked their lives for their country. Why is Bush determined to treat our armed men and women so badly?

I've shot some of the same guns and agree with their opinions. These guys know how to shoot and write. I've sent an email to Bubba to see if he'll add them to the RTB. They aren't strictly bloggers, so I'll understand if he doesn't.
TalkLeft - Crime-related news not found anywhere else. Comment (8/7/2003 09:55:26 PM) Les Volunteer Tailgate Party, and new RTB MembersThe latest Tailgate Party is up at SugarFused. Thanks to Deb for hosting. Here are some good picks this time around:
Longmire has fun in (or at least at the expense of) Gatlinburg. Chris Range looks at the history of the Coast Guard. If you know Chris, you've heard him talk about how important the Coast Guard is, and he's right. Chris has agreed to guest-blog for me while Melissa and I are on our honeymoon. New Members Warm welcomes for these new arrivals to the Rocky Top Brigade. Arlene Jenkins Bugly Hatamaran Opinari Comment (8/7/2003 01:05:48 PM) Les Search This Site |
Which Les Jones are you?I'm the good-looking one. In the early days of the web around 1994 someone did a WebCrawler search for "les or leslie or lesley or lester jones" and made a mailing list. There were hundreds of us. I graduated Maryville (TN) High School and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (with a degree in biology). I worked for U.S. Internet until about a year after the IPO, and now work as an e-commerce manager in Knoxville. I was the author and owner of the award-winning 56K.COM from 1997 to 2003.
