[TheCowsCameHome]

3. How do we order up an ice storm?

[HAB911]

4. If I thought prayer worked..........n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. Perfecting the goose-step must take some time.

Putin will send advisors to speed up the process.

[Hortensis]

6. The south is...well represented.

[LeftofObama]

7. With all of those equestrian and calvary units they'll have a lot of trump apples to clean up.

[Hugin]

8. The only group on there I find surprising is...

Disabled American Veterans – National

After Trump's statements asserting that PTSD only effects "weak" veterans, I would have thought they'd take a pass.

The Wounded Warriors has always been a rip-off organization.

Well, if nothing else... Aside from the Military (who are there by tradition) at least this is a list of organizations who have become entirely political and are no longer charitable in any way.

10. Yep, I was about to donate

a pair of $5000 hearing aids of my brother's who passed this year, but now I'll send them an email telling them I'll be looking for another more deserving veteran charity and why. real shame

[Hugin]

11. A very valuable donation.

I'm sure you can find a good home for them. Where they will be appreciated.

Keep doing good things.

[snpsmom]

14. Surprised me, too

I'd always had good interactions with them during my husband's disability determinations. All I can think is that national and local are very different animals.

9. I'm sick that the University of TN Marching Band agreed to this...

When I see how far right my home state has shifted in 20-25yrs, it's just so sad.

[Thor_MN]

12. That's a lot of horseshit to clean up...

Marching bands can't really see what's directly under them...

[CanonRay]

13. Nobody from Oregon. Good.

[eppur_se_muova]

15. Tragedy Assistance Marching Unit -- that, at least, seems appropriate. nt

[TonyPDX]

16. I'd love to have the Mountain Dew concession.

17. The border patrol has a pipes and drums unit?
