Memorial? Not quite

This is the sort of article that really ticks me off. Why? Because it's not up front and honest about what's going on. SLO display features soldiers killed in Iraq war Boo Boo Records on Monterey Street in San Luis Obispo has dedicated its front window to an art exhibit that shows the faces of […]

Chris Matthews complains

The guys over at Powerline have received an e-mail from MSNBC's Chris Matthews regarding the reports about Matthews' comments that terrorists aren't "evil," but "misunderstood." Matthews claims that his statements were taken out of context and the report does not accurately describe his take on terrorists. In short, he now knows what it feels like […]

Mission failure

I wasn't trying really hard, but I didn't manage to pick up an Xbox 360 today. Circuit City was apparently sold out within 15 minutes of opening as was Fry's Electronics.

Monday morning reading

This is a couple of weeks old, but I only saw it Saturday, so it's new to me. Warning, make sure you have tissue available before you start reading this story about Marines who are tasked with notifying loved-ones that their brother/sister/son/daughter has been killed overseas.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Just got back from the last showing of the new Harry Potter flick. I usually go to movies late on a "school night" to minimize the the number of others in attendance -- especially little kids. Usually that translates into sharing the theater with no more than a dozen people. Tonight there were closer to […]

Who's playing politics with the Iraq war?

Answer: Democrats. For the past several weeks the Democrats in Congress have been peddling the "Bush lied, people died" slander and calling for the immediate (and irresponsible) pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq. The other day, Vietnam War vet and Democrat congressman John Murtha called for the "immediate" pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq. Murtha […]
