A general testifying before Congress should be aware of simple protocol,
because once you are doing that for part of your living, you are as much a
politician as the elected representatives. and you should know what you
are doing. I'm sure that if Mrs. Boxer had addressed the general as
"mister," the usual crowd would have jumped all over her.


I suspect that if *Ms.* Boxer had inadvertently referred to the general as
"mister", he probably would have ignored it.

The senator was absolutely correct. That general would not have
addressed a male senator as mister. If he wanted to use that form of
speech, he could have properly and respectfully addressed her as
Madam Senator, madam being the full form of ma'am. "Senator," would
have been sufficient, as would have "Senator Boxer."

There is a protocol for addressing officials, and the fact that you
and the other uneducated ****s don't know it doesn't excuse those who
should know from not knowing.



You can tell by listening to the General that he addressed her as
"ma'am" purposely to indicate disrespect for her or her official
title. Sure he did.

He screwed up, that's all. A simple, innocent and human mistake.
I am sure this is hard to understand by those who never make mistakes.

Accusing a general of the army of being a common politician is an
extreme insult. A career asshole, like you, who has spent at least 4
college years learning to speak and understand the English language
should know that.

Always thought that Miss or Missus were the Mister equivalents.
And that M'am was the Sir equivalent.
That's how I've always used the terms. And they connote respect.

speech, he could have properly and respectfully addressed her as Madam
Senator, madam being the full form of ma'am. "Senator," would have been

Jesus H. Christ. These Senate panel participants are always saying
"yes ma'am" and "yes sir" to Senators.
And maam is practically codified in the military as a term of respect.
Boxer acted like a ****ing idiot.
And he acceded to her wish.
He didn't ask that she refer to him as Brigadier General, which he
could well have done to put her in her place.
But then maybe he wasn't suffering from menstrual cramps as she was.


There is a protocol for addressing officials, and the fact that you and
the other uneducated ****s don't know it doesn't excuse those who should

There's also a protocol for not coming off as a rude bitch.
Boxer doesn't have a handle on that protocol.
Maybe she's a dyke.

During the exact same committee meeting General Walsh referred to the
male Senators at the hearing as "sir" without receiving even a dirty
look for any faux pas in protocol. Sure the correct protocol would have
been Senator, but the male senators focused on the purpose of the
meeting, instead of worrying about someone inadvertently using the wrong
title.

No need to insult bitches everywhere, just refer to her as "Democratic
Senator" which is as derogatory as possible.

Just curious, what have you "invented" for which you have been issued a
patent or patents that might be something that interests me as a boater.
or even just an ordinary consumer and buyer of
computer/electronic/photographic technology?

I mean, you talk a lot about inventions, and you surely have put forth a
number of less than half baked ideas for products that might be of
interest here. Which have you developed to fruition? Who is selling
them? What is their brand name? How many units have been sold?

In the Army, I always addressed senior females as 'ma'am'. Senior
males were 'sir'.

That's the way it was.

Boxer's a bitch.

Maybe he'll answer those questions when you answer questions like:

Do you have any evidence of attending Yale?
Where would someone find out about your father's marina?
Where would someone find out about his hand built boats?
Where would someone find out about his alleged fireboat welcome in
NYC?
Where would someone go to see your infamous lobster boat?
Where would someone go to find any evidence of your competitive

For Harry: Go to the USPTO website, click on search. go to the
keyword input spot and put in:"David OHara, X-ray" and you will see.
Otherwise, you can go to my company website by googling "Parallax
Research, Inc., X-ray".
As far as who is selling our products, that is always proprietary (We
have NDA in place so I cannot tell you) but they are the largest names
in analytical instrumentation and in the semiconductor business.
I do not try to develop consumer products because I admit to being
"aesthetically challenged" meaning I have poor taste.
Nothing of interest to boaters unless you are a materials science
person. My first attempt to patent was for an anti-fouling compund to
be applied while the boat was in the water. I personally did the
search and found it had already been developed by a British company.
Since then I have stuck to x-ray stuff that pays my bills. I think 6
patents and 3 in the works.
