A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention.
Crazy Politico writes A Year Later “A year after Katrina we still have one HUGE problem from the storm, unrealistic expectations. With possibly 100,000 homes and businesses either destroyed, or so badly damaged they need to be leveled, the expectation that a year later everything would be cleaned up and back to normal is unrealistic. As a point of reference a 250 home subdivision is going in near me. They've been working on it, 5 days a week at least 8 hours a day for over a year, and aren't finished. Yet for some reason folks think that New Orleans and the rest of the Gulf Coast should be finished with reconstruction in that same time frame.” (read more)
Jay Tea of Wizbang writes The CAIR across my butt “Yesterday, I engaged in another cheap shot against the Council on American-Islamic Relations. One commenter challenged me, saying that groups like CAIR that intend to reconcile the differences between Muslims and the West should be encouraged, not slammed. Steve was right -- at least, in part. We should be pushing for such groups to form and act. Unfortunately, though, CAIR is not one of them.” (read more)
Dafydd writes Debunking the Rebunking of the Debunking “All right, let's see if we can follow the machinations of the Lebanese ambulance attack hoax of 2006... On July 23rd, during the late war between Israel and Hezbollah, the latter claimed that the perfidious Jews deliberately shot missiles at two ambulances toting the wounded in Qana, Lebanon -- presumably out of sheer ornery cussedness. You know what Jews are like: when they're not poisoning wells and eating Christian babies at Passover, they can generally be found shooting at hospitals, orphanges, and ambulances.” (read more)
Captain Ed writes The Democrats Write A Letter “Yesterday, the Democrats released an open letter to George Bush demanding a change in policy for Iraq and the war on terror. The letter takes five paragraphs to get to the point, and even then doesn't do much more than present general goals rather than any clear changes to current policy:” (read more)
Neptunus Lex writes The Afghan quagmire “Not for us. For them. Autumn is coming, and not a moment too soon for the remnants of the Taliban. This was supposed to be their year to mass forces and do something really big, something noteworthy, something worth remembering. But the way things have been going for them in since the latest “Spring Offensive” started, there will be very few left to do the remembering.” (read more)
Tanker Brothers writes A Sad State Of Affairs... “I was thinking about something yesterday on my cross-country drive: what happened to our Heroes? I'm not talking about the guys who are "in the dirt" daily in Iraq: to me, they are all heroes, each and every one of them. What I am talking about, are the legends.” (read more)
Cassandra writes A Lack Of Clarity “For several days now I've wondered what it was about Keith Olbermann's recent screeditorial that depresses me so deeply. I thought about this a long time because on reading his piece I found I wasn't angry, outraged, or any of those other emotions self-respecting conservative blowhards like myself don before drinking our first vente Colombia Nariño Supremo of the day. Perhaps I need to pay my attention bill more promptly. ...Reading his words, I had a sense of the ground dropping away beneath my feet. Suddenly a huge, yawning gulf opened up between Olbermann's Blue America and the one I have lived in all my life.” (read more)
Dan Riehl writes Why Radical Islam Is Our Friend “As unfortunate and bizarre as it may seem to say, increasingly, it's obvious that our only real friend in the war on terrorism is Radical Islam itself. In the person of Kofi Annan, the UN yet once again reveals itself as a pathetic joke. Before he had even returned from Iran, Ahmadinejad was making a fool out of him by again unleashing his hateful rhetoric toward Israel, now looking to hold a symposium of sorts to challenge the Holocaust. And of course, Iran stays its nuclear course while laughing at the useless collective of world governments. One has to wonder if there isn't another Annan relative waiting in the wings to reap the windfall profits from whatever unethical deal that's been cooked up this time.” (read more)
Robin of Chickenhawk Express writes Blame it on the Damn Terrorists For A Change “You gotta love this headline on the front page of the online edition of the Washington Post: Bush Claims 'America Is Safer' When reported as a "claim" it comes off as a statement unproven by facts. Of course that is what the AP and the writer, Merrill Hartson, would like us to believe - as well as the DNC and its little minions in the media. Contrary to what they "want" us to believe, President Bush's statement is much more than a claim, it is a fact.” (read more)
