U.S. Navy clipart
This stuff came about because I needed various U.S. Navy insignia and pins for the Official Seal Generator. I couldn't find good quality scans or vector versions anywhere on the web, except as part of clipart collections costing hundreds of bucks. So I said to myself, eff that, and I got a copy of the Bluejacket's Manual and traced them all out myself. It's all public domain, so no copyright issues obtain, and I'm releasing these vector files into the public domain as well. I hope you get some use out of them. All files are vector files, so they're scalable. They're all in compressed Scalable Vector Graphics (SVGZ) format. Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape can open them just fine, so you shouldn't have any trouble using them. You can download the entire collection in one archive (347KB zip file), or as individual files below. Carrier lettering This is just the lettering found on the sides of Navy ships. 
I've also converted these letters into Truetype and OpenType fonts, which should make them easier to use. CPO pins 
Enlisted Ratings Insignia To find out what these ratings mean, check out Wikipedia's page on U.S. Navy ratings. Some of these ratings have recently been disestablished, but I included them anyway for historical purposes.
Misc. symbols These are just components that appeared in more than one enlisted rating insignia, or were enough trouble to draw that I felt like saving them, so here they are.

A very common wound in rodeo riding is "rodeo thumb", which occurs when the thumb gets caught between the saddle and the lasso rope. When the rope is pulled taut the thumb is crushed and sometimes torn off.

Get Drunk And Vote 4 McCain
Voting for McCain, but still don't feel like he's conservative enough? Have a drink to ease the pain. This may be the funniest (or at least, the most *intentionally* funny) conservative blog I've ever seen; they post news stories and tidbits and rate them by how many cocktails it takes to ease the pain of John McCain's incipient Alzheimer's, maladroitness, and closet liberalism.

McDonald's Ad: "I'm Lovin' It When China Wins"
Reason no. 6 564 437 why I'll never step into a McDonalds. Not even if I were starving and they paid me to eat BACON! while getting a fantastic fellatio of fish from a stacked blonde. This doesn't particularly piss me off, because I expect corporations to act like pigs since their only allegiance is to themselves. Hasn't failed me yet... Posted by Otto Yamamoto :: 3 comments
Write In Bush 2008
"The important thing to understand about so-called 'term limits' is that they are man's law, not God's Law. The God who parted the Red Sea is surely not worried about so-called 'term limits'. When you vote your faith you let Almighty God take care of the details." I'm sure this is a parody site. Well, pretty sure. Posted by Ryland :: 2 comments
