Didn't Get to This

Wanted to talk about this on The Dave Thompson Show last week, but we didn't have time. Won't be back on the air for a while, but wanted to mention it because it is pretty freaking sweet.

Reminds me Windtalkers. Unfortunately it was all about Nicolas Cage's "magical Thompson Machine Gun" that managed to hit every enemy and had limitless bullets and less about the Code Talkers calling in coordinates.

Personally the first movie I thought of was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Captain C,

Since you love your graphs (hey, I just like them a lot!), I thought you might want to check out this website:

It looks like it would be right up your figurative alley.

I was show prepping and reading about how the last of the original 7 Shadow Wolves retired in 2004. But you're right, "who are those guys?"

I just hope Bin Laden is caught in a cave with a bunch of Bolivians trained by these Shadow Wolves guys.

Why do people who make a shitload of money from casinos need to learn to track anything? (Or learn any other skill, for that matter.)

Pha!

Junam, I don't know if you're from this country, but not all the Indians are swimming in casino money. They're actually the poorest ethnic group in the US (on a per capita basis).

And not all that casino money is spent wisely. They had a guy here a while ago get indicted on embezzling funds from the tribe.
