And a damned good way to taunt, too.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8VyVI-Lgu0[/youtube] I don’t care what you say, that’s funny.
Now go away, Mahmoud. Or we will taunt you a second time.
(H/T to Poco, my JOPA hook up)
I think he may be on to something:
If you don’t see a spate of stories on U.S. casualties at the end of the month, then there must be some good news the MSM is ignoring…
(The) September numbers from Iraq are good news, no matter how you analyze it. Not only did the [...]
In 50 ships:
The Ministry of Defence has produced a plan to decommission five warships from next April, which would reduce the (Royal) Navy’s capability to the level where it could carry out only “one small-scale operation”.
Separate documentation from inside the department suggests that the total number of ships in the [...]
And everyone is still asleep.
I’m wondering: Whip up a Sunrise Quesadilla? (I use two eggs and forgo the hash browns, myself )
2 thick slices bacon, halved 1 large egg 1-1/4 cups grated Cheddar or Jack, about 5 ounces Vegetable oil for pan-frying 4 flour tortillas, about 5 inches across 1 cup favorite [...]
Are you ready to work at the very top levels of a global company that’s making a killing in its market? Do you have what it takes to compete in a world of fast moving threats and opportunities? Are you both media savvy and able to use human resources in new and innovative ways?

Something’s in the air, it seems. First Rush and now Bill O’Reilly. Both are self-important gasbags (unlike your humble scribe, who is only quasi-self-important) whom I wouldn’t cross the room to speak to. And both are being subjected to scurrilous charges of RACISM!!1! by those who find their views inconvenient but their access to [...]
We were taught as midshipman that that if you were guilty of a crime you’d prefer to be tried in civil court, but that if you were innocent it would be better to be tried by military justice. Looks like the last half is true anyway – Uncle Jimbo writes at Blackfive:
Woo Hoo! [...]
A bit more than 50 years ago the governor of Arkansas called out his national guard to prevent nine black students from attending Central High in Little Rock. Shortly thereafter, President Dwight Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne to ensure that they could attend.
In between the world bore witness to the ugliest of emotions: [...]
Occasional reader Bruce sends along this o’erflowing cup of tasty schadenfreude:
A federal judge refused Friday to dismiss a defamation case against Rep. John P. Murtha and ordered the Pennsylvania Democrat to give a sworn deposition about his comments alleging “cold-blooded murder and war crimes” by unnamed soldiers in connection with Iraqi civilian deaths.

I’m not a particular fan of Rush Limbaugh’s. Don’t listen to his radio, don’t go to his website. It isn’t any so much that I have particular philosophical issues with him, so much as it is the tone. He’s one of these guys who thinks people who disagree with him aren’t just wrong, they’re [...]

Credo "Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones
"Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra"
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche
"A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier

"Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex
