A short recon of what’s out there today that might draw your attention.
Jay Tea at Wizbang writes Any Excuse Will Do: “I've been doing a lot of thinking about the Cartoon War, and I've been thinking about other times the Muslim Street has shown this much spunk. And I think I see a common thread:”
Some Soldier’s Mom writes A Different Kind of Worry: “…On more than one occasion, someone just joining our little group will, upon learning that Noah is in the Army and that he has been in Iraq, stop whatever they are doing, open their eyes big as saucers and drop their jaw as they exclaim, “I have always wondered how you do it… I mean have a child in Iraq or Afghanistan. I don’t sleep at night and mine is only [pick one] at college – in another city – in their first apartment!”
Captain Ed of Captain’s Quarters writes Dems Push Hackett Under A Bus: “Remember Paul Hackett? He's the Iraq War veteran who got backing from the Democrats and a good chunk of the liberal blogosphere to run in a special election for a Congressional seat and made a respectable showing in a strong Republican district. He announced his candidacy for the Senate race and expected to make a hard run against Mike DeWine in a state that has had its share of GOP scandals. However, Hackett finds himself out of the race and out of politics, the victim of a Democratic campaign to push him out in favor of Sherrod Brown:”
Buck Sergent of American Citizen Soldier lets us know what he thinks about the Joel Stein commentary now that it has hit Star’s and Stripes with AMERICAN CITIZEN SOPHISTRY: “Late last month the deployed-area edition of the military newspaper Stars & Stripes reprinted that sentiment in a snarky hit-piece by LA Times columnist Joel Stein, just the sort of infantile, incoherent, and ill-conceived opinion writing needed to swipe the mantle of "Most Anti-American Paper of Record" away from the NY Times.
Chuck at From My Position…On the Way! writes Surprise Surprise Surprise: “LOOK!<<<------!!!------>>>CHUXSHIRTS! With lotsa help from ProcheinAmy (web designer extraordinaire), We've built CHUXSHIRTS! Spread the word, all your favorites are here, and ALL profits go to Soldier's Angels. Cafepress Cuts them a check Automatically, I never see a nickel.”
Michelle Malkin writes DANES PUT HEAT ON LYING IMAM: “Abu Laban, the Danish imam who stoked Cartoon Jihad in the Middle East by spreading a dossier stuffed with the 12 Jyllands-Posten Mohammed Cartoons and unrelated propaganda, is under fire. The Danes, including moderate Muslims fed up with the bile, are fighting back.”
SureFire of Pass The Brass writes The Dragging: “Well, this deployment has started to settle…like the algae on the stagnant puddles around post. And very similar in style too.
To be totally honest, this deployment is not turning out as expected. Of course when one goes “to war” they expect bullets to fly and explosions aplenty. Not here. In truth it’s actually rather boring most of the time. But then again…boring is usually safe, right? I hope so, cuz then I’m pretty well off.”
Andi of Andi’s World writes Grannies Gone Wild: “…on Valentine's Day, the "Raging Grannies" will be grandstanding at a recruiting station in Silver Spring, Maryland. Grandmothers, heartbroken and enraged over the enormous loss of life and the terrible injuries in Iraq, plan to enlist in the military. The old make wars and the young die in them; on Valentine's Day, grandmothers and others will demonstrate their love for this country and its young people by enlisting in the U.S. military in place of young people. The grandmothers vehemently oppose this war; their enlistment is not a show of support for military action in Iraq. But if someone must die, let it be the old, not the young. Too many have died. Too many have been maimed. Enough. Grannies say, "End the war now."Of course, if it's outrageous, Code Pink is involved.”
WO1 Michael Fay of Fire and Ice writes Don't Sell the Farm Ray: “We're out of Iraq and spending a few days de-compressing in a large transient tent city in Kuwait called Camp Victory before making the final leg of the journey stateside. Our arrival was in the wee hours of the morning and we we're greeted by comfortable buses. The stacks of seabags and backpacks were trucked right to the front of our hooch. We only had to drag them thankfully a few yards to our racks, dig out sleeping bags and collapse. Our flack jackets are now packed away and ammunition turned back in.”
WonderWoman of A North American Patriot writes Self imposed censorship... “Made in Canada... It seems to me that nothing does a better service of portraying Muslims in a negative fashion, than hordes and hordes of them burning down embassies, and calling for the heads of anyone who opposes them. Obviously the Canadian Defense Minister is also of the opinion that Muslims are fanatical lunatics incapable of rational thought, otherwise he wouldn't be worried about our troops being victim to them.”
Sgt Hook writes Lance Corporal Lucente: “On November 16, 2005 Lance Corporal John Lucente made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedoms and liberties. I recently received the following letter from LCpl Lucente’s parents:”
