Posted on September 29, 2012 by asknod

I received a note from WGM down in Texas. He apparently overestimated the Power Of Interferon. At 60, we all do. What’s even stranger is that he lasted two weeks. I’m a wimp. I only did the dirty deed once … Continue reading →

VA COLA HELD HOSTAGE

Posted on September 28, 2012 by asknod

As if we didn’t have enough on our plates. It seems Vets will once again get the shaft even when SSD/SSI will get theirs. I find it inconceivable that any member of Congress would be this selfish. After reading that, I changed … Continue reading →

2012 BVA DECISIONS–GET ‘EM WHILE THEY’RE HOT (OR BEFORE THEY’RE NOT)

Posted on September 27, 2012 by asknod

Yeppers, VA campers. The decisions are back, the site works and the 2012 decisions are up-or are they? Some of the first half from 1/01/2012 to about 6/1/2012 are archived and gone. Unless you have a docket number, they’re gone … Continue reading →

I spotted this attached to the Vet’s dictionary today. Bobby Dot has left us a few comments on posts lately. This deserves front page status. Vets in Pennsylvania will soon have a National Service Officer who doesn’t shoot blanks.  bobby … Continue reading →

ASKNOD–DEVIL’S ADVOCATE

Posted on September 26, 2012 by asknod

Every time I get a question from Vets, my mind turns over the obverse of the coin. What if? JAVet just posted an interesting observation on the VCS/VUT crew pounding on the Supremes’ door for justice and it brought to … Continue reading →

SCOTUS: VA takes 573 days for what should take 2.6 hours!

Posted on September 26, 2012 by joeaveragevet

This was not “plucked from Air” but rather, from a Writ of Cert to SCOTUS.   The Veterans for Common Sense (VCS)  and Veterans United for Truth  have petitioned the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) for a  Writ of … Continue reading →
