Mission Accomplished

Posted on May 7, 2008 | Comments Off on Mission Accomplished

The (in)famous banner, subject of so many lies (which some of the commenters here repeat) and MSM sneers since 2004, was created for and addressed to the crew of the USS Abraham Lincoln only, according to one who was there. Of course if "CVN 72" had been added to it in the first place, there’d have been no confusion possible.

Author Stephen King: Moron

Posted on May 6, 2008 | Comments Off on Author Stephen King: Moron

The really amazing thing about King’s latest, unthinking putdown of the troops–"…if you can read, you can walk into a job later on. If you don’t, then you’ve got, the Army, Iraq…"–isn’t that he is repeating another famous fool, John Kerry. It’s that he’s so dumb that he imagines you can a) get in the Army without being able to read, and b) that you could do the job the Army wants without being able to read. I’ve enjoyed some of King’s books. But none of them taught me anything important. It really does surprise me, however, that he could write any of them while being such a moron.

UPDATE: Air Force veteran takes him on, too. And Doug Ross @ Journal, too: "The Dead Zone known as Stephen King’s brain."

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.

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.
