You've asked for them (well, maybe you haven't, no matter) so here they are. The counter-protesters are armed and ready. It's T-9 minutes from the supposed start of the march. Where are the people? The videogenic Lt. Smash gives one of his numerous interviews to his adoring fans in the media. The clueless-looking redhead is […]
I got up this morning in plenty of time to head down to Memorial Park in the Logan Heights neighborhood of San Diego to join Lt. Smash's counter-protest. Between 15 and 20 people showed up to support the troops, including myself, and fellow bloggers Bryon Scott and Breaker of Right on the Left Beach who […]
The morons from the communist anti-freedom group A.N.S.W.E.R. is planning a march here in San Diego tomorrow and Lt. Smash will be speaking at a counter-protest. Get all the details here. I'm unsure whether I'll be able to make it or not -- depends on when I get off work tonight, but I encourage anyone […]
You've heard all of the less-than-completely-true-or-accurate phrases from those on the left who claim that "dissent is patriotic" and that they "support the troops, but oppose the war." Well, over at one of the liberal bastions of the blogosphere, Daily Kos, the following was posted in the wake of the brutal murder, burning and dismemberment […]
First, the Heritage Foundation's Joseph Loconte rightly assails the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. The entire U.N. is a joke -- a place where murderous, despotic regimes hold equal power with representative democracies -- but the UNCHR is even worse. Second, The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan addresses yesterday's brutal horror in the Iraqi […]
Amidst the wall-to-wall coverage of the discovery of the missing UW-Madison coed this afternoon, there was little mention of the attack on U.S. contractors in the Iraqi city of Fallujah. According to the Washington Post, recovering the mens' bodies for their families may be tough. Crowds carried the bodies of two victims to the nearby […]
Former Vermont Gov. Howard "Yaaaargh!" Dean says that last Friday's Madrid bombings are President Bush's fault. No, Dean is not (quite) blaming Bush for actually planting the bombs -- Bush was in the United States at the time -- but that the war to topple Saddam Hussein (and Spain's support of that war) was the […]
A former reporter and congressional aide has been arrested for allegedly spying for Iraq. Of course, if you can't remember doing anything wrong, then obviously you've never done anything wrong. In that spirit, former senator and presidential hopeful Carol Moseley-Braun, who employed Susan Lindauer as her press secretary, now "doesn't remember" Lindauer. In this political […]
South Dakota Sen. Tom Daschle isn't a fool. The senior senator is running for re-election in a state President Bush easily carried in 2000 and he doesn't want to become a victim of Bush's coattails in 2004. Daschle told state chamber of commerce representatives meeting in the South Dakota capital that he is satisfied with […]
It should be no surprise that soldiers in Iraq are less than impressed by the police blotter coverage of what's happening in Iraq. ABC News has a good article on the subject. What surprised me most was how little news many of the soldiers get -- and they get it late. Another thing of note […]
