Web Reconnaissance for 05/23/2006

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention.

Most Certainly Not writes Guard the Border Blogburst 5/22 “This week's Guard the Border Blogburst has arrived. It's authored by Heidi at Euphoric Reality and posted here because I am a member of their blogburst. Interested in joining? See the instructions at the bottom of the post. ‘Our Open Borders Will Be The Death Of Us Yet’”

WO1 M. D. Fay USMC writes The Visit “November 16, 2005 is seared into my memory. It was a day of pitched battle, heroism and violent death.
We rose early and ate hurried meals of crackers and cheese washed down with weak lukewarm Gatorade. The night before word was passed that solid intelligence indicated a significant number of insurgents were cornered with their backs against the Euphrates River, and nowhere else to go…”

Stop the ACLU writes Defending the Right of Congressmen to Break the Law in Private “Over the weekend, the FBI executed a search warrant to search Representative William Jefferson’s congressional office.

Expose the Left writes Almond Refuses To Admit His Vote For Kerry (VIDEO) “Steve Almond, the Boston College professor who quit his job in protest over Condi Rice’s commencement speech at the school, was on Hannity & Colmes tonight. Almond’s appearance was segued by a video montage of liberals doing what they do best, making complete fools out of themselves.”

Kobayashi Maru writes Rewarding Bad Behavior - More Wishful Thinking on Iran “Michael Ledeen's scintillatingly logical (and funny) mock letter to Ahmadinejad yesterday - written, he says, by a Reagan administration official - is set off by a fuzzy-headed piece in this morning's Boston Globe. It betrays itself in the frighteningly ignorant headline: "US could benefit from a give-and-take strategy with Iran". Where to start...”
