Iron Man or wimp?

Posted on May 6, 2008 | Comments Off on Iron Man or wimp?

Hollyweird either does it again: "[M]ust we be tricked into sitting through another America-as-root-of-all-evil message?" Or it doesn’t: "Iron Man is not a pacifist movie, and it bends over backwards to be pro-military and pro-government, even in the midst of speeches about how weapons are evil." It’s a battle of the reviews. You decide. Not me. I already hate the sticky floors, and Mr. B. has enough fantasy in his life as it is.

Very nice, indeed

Posted on May 4, 2008 | Comments Off on Very nice, indeed

President Bush is basically a nice guy, which he proved more than once when he was governor of Texas. Which, of course, is way too nice for the rude, undereducated, overmedicated slugs of the MSM. So it’s always a pleasure to see it when he cuts loose on a supercilious one with both barrels.

Even Darth Vader might find this new Navy warship a troubling shock. Imagine an Islamist pirate’s reaction to the speedy trimaran hull and slab-sided stealth configuration.

Ignoring Gen. Grant

Time magazine once again proves why I was wise to stop subscribing to and reading it years ago.

USS Nimitz

Posted on April 29, 2008 | Comments Off on USS Nimitz

The carrier was named for World War II leader Chester Nimitz, of the Hill Country town of Fredericksburg. But the crew consider the ship’s name to be an acronym for Never Imagined Myself In This Zoo. More in a good video not to miss.

The new G.I. Bill

Posted on April 29, 2008 | Comments Off on The new G.I. Bill

Excellant way to show support for the troops. Back a new G.I. Bill to send them all to college.

UPDATE:  It’s set for a May 8 vote in Congress. But there’s already concern the Dems will try to kill it.

SSG Matt Maupin, R.I.P.

Posted on April 28, 2008 | Comments Off on SSG Matt Maupin, R.I.P.

I remember the pathetic MSM speculation about how the Army transportation reservist’s reported capture four years ago might have been made to cover up his desertion to get away from the war which the media still works so hard to undermine. The homecoming for Maupin, with its miles of yellow ribbon, was impressive, as was the memorial service at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. It was, obviously, not just for him alone, but for all the ones who gave all.
