Bill Mauldin has a Posse
Blogatelle - On Veteran's Day - The V.A. had no thought towards repairing him, just shutting him up. They dispensed narcotics via U.S. Mail and upon request. Nothing is too good for our veterans.

South Knox Bubba - A WWII Veteran's Story - Well, we started digging our holes, and they told me to face my hole to the rear from behind to keep somebody from coming in at us from the rear. So I dug my hole in a way that I could be looking to the rear, and the other guys were looking to the front. Well about the time I got my hole about half done, there was a terrible explosion right behind me. It knocked me off my feet and blew the rifle out of my hands. I wiggled my feet to see if I still had legs.

Bloggers in the Mist
Norwegian Blogger - The Grandmother of All Mistings! - WALLY: Yes of course you have, placing yourself in dreadful danger of death by Norwegian mob, why don't you pull a Salman Rushdie?
BELLOWS: 'cause you Norwegians couldn't whip up a good lynch mob if your lived depended on it?

Dogs of War
The Road to Surfdom - The Latest Pitch From Hitch - Whispering Truth To Power - Excuse me, but wasn't it such suggestions--that there were "root causes"--that caused Hitchens to indulge in apoplectic rages against the vile left for even daring to suggest that there might be reasons why "they" hate "us" and fly planes into buildings?

skippy the bush kangaroo - a moment for those fallen in battle - please take a moment to think of those who had died fighting for this country. take a moment to think of those who, unless a miracle of miracle happens, will die on the sands of iraq at the politician's behest.
now, in honor of armistice day, we bring you some views on invading iraq by the men and women who have actually served in our armed forces

Silent Running - My New-Found Conservatism - They don't care about fossil-fuel depletion, the ozone layer, Third World debt or World Bank lending policies. They're not interested in you boosting foreign aid, voting Green, or visualising world peace. They want you do do one of two things.
1) Convert to Islam, or
2) Die.

Exorcising Chad
Jimspot - Politics - That is a right that has been won through bloodshed on battlefields and secured through the hard work of many non-warring patriots. Time and again, people have given their all to secure and reaffirm the rights and freedoms of this republic of ours. So, people have worked hard and shed blood, sweat and tears for you to be able to get off your lazy ass and go to a polling place and cast a ballot. If you don't vote, aren't you spitting in their faces and pissing on their graves?
