Only the Air Force has failed to reach its $45,000 goal in the Soldiers’ Angels drive for $180,000 to buy voice-activated laptops for wounded and injured troops. Pretty good work.

As of Oct. 4, 650 voice-activated laptops had been presented to troops wounded in the Iraq and Afghan, and with a goal of raising $180,000, Soldiers’ Angels wants to buy many more.

"Operating laptops by speaking into a microphone, our wounded heroes are able to send and receive messages from friends and loved ones, surf the ‘Net, and communicate with buddies still in the field without having to press a key or move a mouse."

As of 2:40 p.m., they’ve raised about $70,000 so far, some of it mine.

Flying his true colors

Posted on October 31, 2006 | Comments Off on Flying his true colors

Look who’s slandering the troops, again, as if he didn’t do a good enough job on us in the 1970s.

Sen. John Effing Kerry, D-Mass. 

"’You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq,’ he said, to a mixture of laughter and gasps."

Right, if you don’t study, you’ll have to serve your country, along with the rest of the ignorant soldiers. But if you do study, you can be a lying phony like John Effing Kerry, marry rich, get elected by people too dumb to know better, run for president on the peace party ticket as a "war hero" (with the able assistance of the draft-dodging, prevaricating news media), and never have to work again.

UPDATE  Response from office of Sen. John McCain: "Senator Kerry owes an apology to the many thousands of Americans serving in Iraq, who answered their country’s call because they are patriots and not because of any deficiencies in their education."

Well, they are deficient in duplicity and dishonesty, subjects in which Kerry scores very high.
