BVA–LITTLE THINGS THAT YOU DO

BVA–2nd QUARTER DECISIONS ARE OUT

SOVALDI–IT’S SHOWTIME
After a five month fight to obtain this magic elixir, I am finally going to proceed on to a six month fight to kill the Dragon. The Decon arrived late today and zero hour’s 9 AM. Protein pills and helmet await me. … Continue reading

VA–THE BIG CHILL
This is what I was afraid of. The Big Chill is now settling in and everyone is suddenly assessing their job resumes in case they suddenly find themselves “underemployed”. The smart ones are singing like birds while the higher-up types … Continue reading

VA–FIRE OUR WORKERS? ARE YOU INSANE? NO WAY
I guess this pretty much sums up what the VA thinks of our insinuations that anyone at the VA was attempting to sandbag our health care. Lord, help us. Thank God this moron is short-lived as VASEC.
CAVC–WEAVER V SHINSEKI– PROTECTING THE PRESUMPTION OF SOUNDNESS
Whoooo, doggies. Glen R. Bergman of Bergman & Moore spanked Willy Gunn’s Lumpa Lumpas in this contest. It was a frank reversal-as in bitchslap- administered by none other than our Lady of Indiana Ave. NW-St. Mary of Schoelen. It was … Continue reading

CAVC–HOFFMAN V SHINSEKI–REBUTTING THE PRESUMPTION OF REGULARITY
As most of you know, Veterans law fascinates me. This is a late epiphany that I acquired while trying to decipher my losses over the years. Once I prevailed, it became an obsession in my desire to help other Vets. … Continue reading
