“In his ten years working on the documentary Burns somehow never got around to interviewing a vet like Minneapolis attorney Tim Kelly, who speaks for the many expressing simple pride in their service.”
A good critique with links to others at Power Line, such as scholar Mark Moyer’s dismissal of Burns’ dishonest poop.
I didn’t watch any of it and won’t now for sure.

“The Yankees catcher, Sanchez (I think his name is Gary) is a fine hitter and catcher I have no doubt at all. I’ve seen his hitting, and he is a batter to be reckoned with. But I don’t think he caught a single ball thrown from the field in the whole ALCS. Every time the Astros sent a guy home, he dropped it, and the run thus scored.”
JD at Mouth of the Brazos, who hasn’t let out the requisite hurrahs yet.

Texas 10, Oklahoma State 13 in overtime.
Texas, 3-4, has a superior defense but a lackluster offense.
Maybe it’s time to let Buchele quarterback the offense, eh?
And bring back the running game that isn’t Sam E.

Amazon has outdone itself in the sexual “wellness” department. Strictly X-rated.
I thought about posting the PP’s picture but decided not to. Go see it and other, uh, tools of the trade here. Don’t miss the sex dolls, inflatable and headless, and, especially, the hands-free model.
More good insight from J.D, at Mouth of the Brazos.
“You can’t hit a fucking thing in full auto…. The only way they are worth shooting in full auto would be like [the Vegas massacre man] did, i.e., spraying a tight group of targets, and the way for inducing fatal shots rather than a bunch of superficial wounds would to be from above, which would lead to a shitload of head wounds.”
Full auto, also known as spray-n-pray, is strictly for intimidation purposes.
“Texas House Speaker Joe Straus asked the State Preservation Board to take down a plaque at the Capitol that asserts that slavery was not the underlying cause of the Civil War.”
It’s a sop to the liberals who recently won the removal of Confederate statues from the UT campus. And Robert E. Lee from Lee Park in Dallas which promptly renamed the park something or other.
Now they want all the Confederate memorials on the Capitol lawn removed. I’d be for getting rid of Jefferson Davis from the soldier’s memorial but keeping the soldiers.
In fact, keeping all the soldier’s monuments. They fought, after all, for comrades and family. But there’s no denying slavery was mixed in there somewhere. And the statue-removal crew won’t settle for half-measures. They’ll keep arguing.
