Taking Chance
Over a year ago, I volunteered to escort the remains of Marines killed in Iraq should the need arise. The military provides a uniformed escort for all casualties to ensure they are delivered safely to the next of kin and are treated with dignity and respect along the way. Thankfully, I hadn’t been called on…

No Respect
I was going to refrain from posting today, out of respect for the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and those that died that day, but I simply can’t let the disgraceful vandalization of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the eve of 9/11 go unremarked upon. I do believe that, should the perpetrators be caught, the…

Don’t Call It A Condiment
…Cause I’m only playing catch-up. See, because it’s a homonym with… Bah, never mind. On with the Friday Link Dump! Hollywood is definitely out to retroactively destroy my childhood. How else can one explain their insistence on changing G.I. Joe from hard-charging defenders of America into a namby-pamby “international” strike force under the auspices of…

It’s that time again — time to free myself of a bit of mental clutter expressly for your edification. That’s a win/win situation if I’ve ever heard of one. Chinese-manufactured sedans: deathtraps on wheels and headed to a dealer near you, ‘twould seem. It seems as though prior to the British-hostage-sailors incident, the Iranians tried…

A Memorial Day Photo That Tugs At The Heartstrings

The Surge Is Working And Even The MSM Can’t Ignore It Any Longer
ABC News is carrying a report from Baghdad that has more candy and kites than I’ve seen since Fahrenheit 9/11. We will obviously need sustained coverage on these developments in order for the general public to start realizing that Iraq is headed in the right direction, but every little bit counts. Now if only more…

I’m Too Young To Feel This Old
I turned the ripe old age of 29 today, meaning that in a little less than 366 days, I will officially be 30, a fact that makes me Officially Old, the import of which my blushing bride has reminded me of several times throughout the course of the day. That’s not what makes me feel…

A Turning Of The Tables May Be In Order
CNN disgusts me. Their sickening justification for posting blatant jihadi propaganda snuff films of snipers shooting American troops in Iraq is simply appalling. “We know it’s propaganda, but, well, it serves our political ends of making the war in Iraq seem bloody, senseless and hopeless. Anything to drop the Rethuglicans a few more points before…
