Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex For the Effort!Subscribe Tagsafghanistan AGW army Blogging buffoonery china culture economy Flying Friday Musings geopol Gratuitous slap GWOT Headlines health care History iran iraq issues Media Memory Lane Military Navy norks Oz pakistan piracy politicians politics Politics and Culture pundits Russia science sea stories silliness Small Stuff SoCal sport Tech Lust technology UAVs UK usaf usmc weapons WP Cumulus Flash tag cloud by Roy Tanck and Luke Morton requires Flash Player 9 or better.

Not only is he a Marine, He’s a Marine Major, a combat veteran, and is currently a PAO. Well Played
I love the part where the Code Pink lady says they aren’t concerned with the Marine’s rights. You really cannot make this stuff up. It writes itself.
Respects,
I love it! My favorite part is when he says, “Wouldn’t it be great if there was an organization sworn to defend that free speech?” and the Code Pinker says “Wouldn’t that be great!”
Although the line about police was pretty good, too…
It’s quite an accomplishment to be beyond parody like that… *shaking head*
Went looking for info on Riggle and found a neat profile, written when he first joined the show.
The last tag seems to be misspelled. I assume you meant ‘scum’? :>)
Everyone should see this video! I agree with FbL; indeed, “Wouldn’t it be great if there was an organization sworn to defend that free speech?” …and the Pinker says, “wouldn’t that be great!” Priceless!
Oh, yes… that group to defend our freedom, we don’t need to concerned with their rights…
The Daily Show hit one out of the park with this!
Oh man…hee-lair-eee-us!
still laughing over that one…but I think Lex readers will be forced to ponder the wisdom of the founding fathers of our current crack-head brigades…they made strong arguments against the war…like: Let’s kiss instead of kill!” Hard to refute that logic, but it’s a shame they can’t find volunteer profligates under 50. I guess the really committed ones serve at the Emperors Club VIP. Yippee-ki-yi-a?
I usually can’t stand Stewart because he’s such a pompous a-hole, but his sketches (this one in particular) are always worth a laugh.
Just got my copy of USAA magazine today – guess who’s on the back cover wearing a nice red USMC shirt? None other than Rob Riggle! And lex should like the fact that he’s a (helo) pilot, too!
Just a nit-picking note, Lex. Under tags, you have it listed uscm. I’m pretty sure it’s USMC.
Those asshats need a good brush with reality. Put the bong down and get real. But then, do they end up recruiting a lot of folks from Berkley?
Dood, that wrecked my buzz…
All the Lex Babes need to cook up some brownies and trot them down to the local recruiting station. (Don’t mean to exclude any Lex Dudes that like to bake)
This whole thing has spiraled way out of control….
That SO harshed my mellow……
Semper Fi, Mac.
Babs- great Idea! On my way to the kitchen! I loved this, thanks Lex!
These people need to spend some time in the real world, i.e. those places were they will not always enjoy the protection our military provides. A few weeks in Darfur, Liberia, Chad, Ivory Coast, Gaza, Iraq and Afghanistan ought to clue them into reality, or not.
Yet another example of my belief that stupid people should not breed.
The twit that agreed with Riggle that not only would it be cook if there were an organization to defend free speech but also believes that crime would end if there were no more police about made my head explode. Intellectually I know there are stupid people like that in the world but to see them – on television – absolutely amazes me that they’ve made it this far in life.
I need a drink.
Would crime end if there were no police? Maybe…classic cape job.
When someone makes you realise how dumb your position is, don’t do something a mature intellectual might do, like rethink your position, considering that perhaps you have made some erroneous assumptions. In fact don’t think at all. Just go with it. You might be wrong and sound stupid, but it’s the strength of your convictions that matters, right?
All those Code Pink chicks need a spanking.
Snake, would you volunteer for that mission?

Had my 14 year old son watch this. His comment, “No body is that stupid, that woman must have been planted.”
Sorry son, there really are people that think like that. They’re called ______ (insert your own offensive expetive here.)
Thank God for the Marines. Kind of balances the whole equation.
*#@&*&*!! orange juice all over my screen…
Thank God indeed for the Marines!
Rob Riggles is a hoot… go figure… a Marine with a sense of humor…and his outfit… pure parody that none of those hippie s**t bags seemed to get …priceless and well done indeed. Best
PS, B2, Interesting concept… spank-meister to the Code Pink Chicks…worth considering…of course I’d first have to get a tetanus booster and they’d have to shower for at least three days…but it could work out …
What’s so amazing about Berzerkely is that in the same town, a few hundred of us were hardly hunkered down to listen to Gen (ret) John Abizaid speak at a dinner (Monday) and lecture (Tuesday), and the audience questions were fantastic.
IMHO, the ColdPinkos get wayyyy tooooo much air time, but it helps us in the long run. The overall after effect of the bizarre activity is are truly neglibable. Such vids cannot do Hildabeast or BarackObamarama any good.
WRT supporting your local recruiting office? This is absolutely a good practice. Before you take in any food items, make sure they know you. Recruting offices have security procedures in place. Send referrals for enlisted and officer candidates. Join and get active in local Sea Service Support groups like Marine Corps League and Navy League. Directly adopt/align with the local Marine Corps and Navy Recruiting Stations and Districts.
As an individual, you can make an incredible difference in this mission. If any of you care for details, ping me. I’ll be happy to assist.

“…a Marine with a sense of humor…”
Marines NEED a sense of humor. It’s our sense of the absurd that allows us to shrug this off.
“Who’s that young whipper-snapper with the burnsides and the colored spectacles? I like the cut of his jib.”
“Uh, that’s Riggle, sir. Marine reservist and corespondent for that Daily Show program.”
“Eeeexcellent.”
I loved this!
…and Idaho Joe, you should tell your son that my ex-mother-in-law (whew!) is just like this. Some people really are that stupid and truly think they’re smarter than anyone else…
Well, if the Maytag Repairman ever wants to semi-retire, take it easy from the stress of work, I can see one job that might be less demanding.
Being a barber in Berkeley.
– Max
Wow, that was hilarious!
But on another note, do we really even WANT recruits from Berkeley?
Burns: “Hmmm… who’s that goat-legged fellow? I like the cut of his jib…”
Smithers: “Er, Prince of Darkness, sir, he’s your 11 o’clock.”
I plan to attend the Siege of Shattuck Square tomorrow, when The World Can’t Waterboard! group takes the point for Code PINK in an attempt to occupy the recruiting office.
Do you think it would be okay to carry a “ROB RIGGLE SPEAKS FOR ME!” sign?
