It's coming


U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
At Sea
November 28, 1941
BATTLE ORDER NUMBER ONE
1. The ENTERPRISE is now operating under war conditions.
2. At any time, day or night, we must be ready for instant
action.
3. Hostile submarines may be encountered.
4. The importance of every officer and man being specially
alert and vigilant while on watch at his battle station
must be fully realized by all hands.
5. The failure of one man to carry out his assigned task
promptly, particularly the lookouts, those manning the
batteries, and all those on watch on the deck, might
result in great loss of life and even loss of the ship.
6. The Captain is confident all hands will prove equal to
any emergency that may develop.
7. It is part of the tradition of our Navy that, when put
to the test, all hands keep cool, keep their heads, and
FIGHT.
8. Steady nerves and stout hearts are needed now.
G. D. MURRAY,
Captain, U.S. Navy
Commanding
Approved: November 28, 1941.
W. F. HALSEY,

Bernard Berrian meets the Streisand Effect

The (almost) always hilarious Kissing Suzy Kolber had a gentle piece up mocking the media for the over-reaction to Bernard Berrian's over-reaction to a fan's tweet. Well BB's PR firm C&D'd KSK for some obvious parody tweets that KSK posted in which faux-Berrian tweets. KSK not wanting a legal squabble pulled the post and asked "Does Bernard Berrian Hate Iraq War Veterans."?

So anyway here are the fake Bernard Berrian tweets that were pulled
